    I have always found SGS very helpful and professional and the T & Cs on there web site are very clear and concise.

     

    Most vat registered companies list there parts ex vat and this is broken down at check out, clearly showing the ex vat price.

     

    If you have a spoiler fitted I always recommend SKU 1750 which are a bit more expensive than the other two options but well worth the extra IMHO.

     

    SKU 1750 are the struts for aftermarket spoilers.

    SKU 1751 are for lip spoiler

    SKU 1749 are for no spoiler.

     

     

    HOW DO I GET FREE DELIVERY?

    Online orders over £50 ex VAT will automatically have free delivery applied when you add to basket. Unfortunately, this offer only extends to web orders with a delivery address in the UK mainland – N Ireland, Ireland, parts of Scotland, Highlands and Islands and International delivery addresses will have their exact carriage cost calculated during checkout. This does not include telephone orders or our re-gas service.

     

     

     

     

    I have a genuine Nismo V2 spoiler and the uprated SKU 1750 work fine, until it snows and the boot lid gets covered.

    Then it's lethal if you are leaning over to put things in the boot ;)

    i changed the coolant temp sensor but still having the same problem, here is a video of whats happening

     

     

     

    its only when the car is warm, when its cold it starts up straight away.

     

    any help from here would be great

     

    thanks in advance

    The YouTube video following yours is the same warm start problem but on a Nissan Murano, caused by the check valve on the fuel pump. He replaced the fuel pump to fix the problem

    The level of movement is often hard to spot, you can either undo the drop links and see if they seem stiff and firm or loose and wobbly or if you can replicate the clunk on the driveway or whatnot just undo the droplinks and see if that cures the clunk.

    You can test the drop links by parking with two wheels on the pavement kerb, turn the steering to full lock and then drive off the kerb.

    If it's the drop links you should hear a clunk when the car drops back onto the road.

    Don't get me wrong I agree it's do-able but I'm not going to enclose it as I find it aesthetically pleasing for now I'm just going to continue to optimise space around the trumpets and then decide 

    :)

    Agreed, I can't see all the work I did on the interior of my plenum :)

    The standard plenum doesn't have that much clearance past the end of the air intake runners, so unless the trumpets are longer, something like that with less clearance to the trumpets should be possible.

    Maybe starting with aluminium sheet as a backing plate attached between the throttle bodies and the trumpets, and then fabricate a box containing a circular inlet that will fasten to this.

     

    Ideally you want to feed cool air in from a high air pressure area such as through the grille.

    If they will fit a DE, I'd use two 350Z HR air-boxes and then connect these to the boxes surrounding the trumpets.

     

    The HR air-boxes could then be fed by something like the EVO-R cold air intake.  See my efforts on my DE:

  6. Low volume knock at low speeds hitting bumps is probably due to the drop links on the anti-roll bar, which are cheap and easy to replace.

    The squeaks could be from the ant-roll bar rubber bushes, again cheap and easy to replace, and worth replacing with SuperPro polyurethane bushes which retain the grease better,

    and improve the handling on bumpy roads.

     

    If your compression arm bearing has gone then it would be better to do that first! ;)

  7. Looks like people aren't filling in the DVLA registration form properly, mine was £245 last year and will be £255 this year for a 2004 import.

    First registration on the form is for Japan, which was 02/2004 in my case.

  8. September 1st 2015.

    When filling out the DVLA form you need to put the date the car was first registered in Japan - 02/2004 in my case.

    I used Japautoagent Ltd and they got me a car with 10,000 mileage and no rust, and filled out the DVLA form.

    Worth ringing Paul there before you go on holiday: http://www.japautoagent.com/

     

  9. You could try warming the bumper up, taking care to keep the heat gun moving and don't linger in one spot, or you will bubble the paint. I did ;)

    When it is warm to touch by hand then tighten up the ties you have used to secure it.
