  1. Thanks lads. pm'd the man. Hopefully get this done after Xmas.
  2. Top tip- use Lemon fairy liquid. It works better. Seriously.
  3. Looks like this is next on my list. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Are there any in Scotland? I could google, but my laptops not working and I'm on my phone, so it's no as easy. don't know what I want,but don't want to spend silly money. Put enough out this year.
  4. Well,it seems like it won't do any harm, I'll be filling up tomorrow or Tuesday I'll do it then. Thanks for the help lads.

    I bought Pirellis P Zeros for the fronts yesterday (same as rear). Think they're bedded in, they're fine. Took a quick blast round a roundabout and the car stuck like glue. Happy days.
  6. I just thought it might be a good idea at the time after the o2 sensor problem,thought it may help clean the engine a bit. It's no big deal, it was only £3. The reason I use 97 RON is because it's hard to get anything else locally. The nearest Shell garage is about half an hour away. The car runs fine (normally) on 97, As i said if it's rubbish I'll not bother, it's only 3 bangers.
  7. Simple as that. Bought a bottle and thinking of using it. The car was running slightly sluggish and idle (when hot) wasn't happening. The EML came on but after getting the code (o2 sensor) someone suggested giving the car a bit of a kicking as I'd only been using it on short journeys for a few weeks. That seemed to solve the problem as the EML went off and the car seems to be ok now. Would it be sensible to use Redex in the tank? Has anyone used it before? I've never used it but thought it might be a good idea to try it. Just looking for advice before i go for it. Cheers. Robert. ps I usually run car on BP Ultimate (97 RON) if that makes any difference.
  8. No, it's not that guy. I'm not exactly sure about the lights. Going to try and polish them this weekend. See if that helps. I'll keep you posted.
  9. I've had them done, but they've faded. Got the Demon eyes and leds, sequential indicators, but the guy that done them said this would happen again after a while,said it was the lenses. I just believed him as i don't know differently. They're worse now than ever.
  10. Best thing to do (imo) is use the "Meguiars Headlight Restoration kit" and then seal the headlights afterwards with an anti-UV sealant. Some more info here: http://www.350z-uk.c...light-restored/ Cheapest Megs kit I could find on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.u...2gAAOSwzaJX89ml It looks as though it's on the inside of the lense? Would i have to split the lense and body apart?
  11. Need the headlights seen to. Got the Demon eyes and sequential indicators but the lights are getting misted looking. They were like that before the new set up. The guy cleaned them up but warned me it would come back. Anyone on here got any ideas? Takes the look right off it.
  12. Got the tyres on today. Can't upload photos from my phone (dunno how to) Looks much better although it definitely feels different. I never changed the front tyres and think maybe I should have. Just doesn't feel right. Slight pull to the right when braking. Ah'll sort it out. Oooh and my JDM code reader came. Happy days!
  13. Same here. The mpg is in Km/L That's murder too. Somehow makes me think she's thirstier. Ha. I'm kinda miserable that way.

    Tyre choices

    Don't have a clue about tyres. Needing 2 tyres for the new wheels. Looking for 245/45 (for the rear i presume as the other two are 225/45). Just replacing like for like. The wheels are 18's for 17's Anyone help with choosing? I live in Scotland so it's wet (a lot). i'll pay up to £150 per tyre, should that be enough for a decent set? I've never bought tyres for the Z. Any help appreciated. Robert
  19. They're not here yet. I'll post pics when they're on. The courier's a friend of mine. Don't even know the name of his company but he's doing me a great deal.
  20. New wheels hopefully coming today. Woo-Hoo GT4 alloys.
  21. Sweet. Never even thought of that. Maybe Ah'll get better locking nuts too!! Still can't find that loom ah'm looking for. (sounded like a song there)
  22. Mines was the exact same and passed no problems (about 3 weeks ago). It's nothing to worry about.
  23. Got a set of GT4 wheels coming on Friday hopefully. They're beautiful man! No Dougie, not a chance mate, heard on the radio there's one up already in Glasgow somewhere. Jeez man, the clocks haven't even been changed.
  24. Bloody light went off last night! Think the car's still a bit sluggish. Just doesn't feel right and it's still drinking the juice. I'm off Friday if you're free.
