Hi Beauvue, If ive miss understood please forgive me, but are you trying to swap in the 370 console to a 350 or vice versa ?

If you got some stands, get the arse off the ground and try the same. May help pin point the noise too. Added bonus, you won't crush whoever is under there looking just in case it does decide it can move again

As title says really, the Nismo is in need of new rubber. Finding anything in the current 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 is proving somewhat of a challenge unless its MPS4 on the front and MPSS or MP4S on the rear. Im not a fan of mixing tyres front to rear even though similar. So is the following config acceptable ? and hows the price look ?

As title, im looking for spring clamps and worm/jubilee clamps in Red or Black to fit all the pipes in the engine bay (visible ones) So for Intakes, coolant hoses, breathers etc To replace the silver/Grey in the photo. Does anyone know all the required sizes or a source to buy from ? Cheers

Not sure pal, worth asking if its an easier trip for you. Just know they used to do it, was in conjunction with Abbey iirc

Yeah if coming into Liverpool, TDi North are in Warrington, about 30/40 minutes away. Just down the M62

Been a while since I did anything but finally got around to installing the Z1. Youtube said about an hour, more like 2 with the only assistant being the wife Plus bonus Peekaboo photo

So sorry this has happened to you, utter rats. Sounds like the police are not much better either.... What gets me now, is how your insurance are classing this as an At Fault claim ? Surely theft would be a non fault claim, you didn't hand them the damn keys.

I'd have been having serious words with Mr (or Mrs) Instructor.....

What can you do on the prices of the Nismo carbon bits ? Looking at: Mirror cover (interior) Sill Guards (Scuff/Kickplates) Additionally: Evo-R Carbon rear strut bar cover Real Japan Steering wheel - red and black ultra Suede Shall we say 1k for the lot ?

Tasty collection of stuff, kinda wish I still had the 350

Only thing I never liked about those was the front arches, just way too much gap. Had they done a lower cut on it then it would be perfection in a retro shell. Clio V6 meets Nans car meets Testarossa. Madness

Is no one at the shop older than you able to get 1 day insurance on it and pick it up ?

Sounds about right, I knew it was peanuts

Don't care if they make it £3000 a year, im keeping mine and doing all I can to offset the green fleet

Ouch! I get the low tax bracket on the 370 £160 ish a year

Damn right, that crusty bird @*!# is lethal

@12 mins or so..... But worth a watch, everything has its price too

Main areas were where the quarter panel meets the sill infront of the rear wheels, over the arches filler cap area. Anywhere dirt and or water can pool really. Usually find seaside cars are the ones to avoid, salt kills everything As for insurance, you will find the purchase price has little to no influence of annual cost, a 2k Z will cost the same as a 9k Z its the up keep that will differ massively. Other things to look for are Oil level, regular services etc etc but I don't think they will be an issue on that one, seems to have had a loving home. Happy hunting

How much depends how you have it done, cutting them out and replacing them isn't cheap. Just sanding back filling and paint is cheaper, but it will comeback again. But to hazard a guess, either way you're looking at £600-1500 with paint and labour.

From the sounds of the ad, its been quite well looked after. Good tyres on it, CSC done and braided lines so not been maintained on pennies over pounds and seems a genuine example for its age. He mentions the rear arches are starting to go again so they may need cutting out and new welding in so factor that into your budget. Other than the usual used car buying advice, its one that is probably worth viewing. Read through the buyers guide one here, go over the car thoroughly and don't be afraid to walk away. 5-7k Z's always pop up for sale

Clarification on the EcuTek connect, that allows you to BT to a iPad or smart phone to control the map selection, TC settings etc. Not the actual map or license ?

Going off that valuation, if I park the Nismo now. In 15 years I can ask 100k for it

A member with a similar name might be of help to point you in the right direction @ZMANALEX

Not much help for the battery issue, but if the steering lock is starting to fail. Pull the fuse for it asap
