Easy way to test, they always squirt on the first or 3rd pull with the headlights on

Thought id update everyone and say that i pulled out of the sale in the end. The 4 owners did gripe me a bit but then i found out it had missed two services so i couldnt commit anymore. The dealer lied really because he said it had full service history. The hunt continues i guess. Thanks for everyones input and help though.

Done the right thing, if it dont feel right. Walk away.

Buy with the head not the heart 

Could be wrong but potentially a blocked PCV ?

Last of the so called enthusiasts we know this is a 26k car at best. 

Shhhsh!

I'll sell mine to the right collector for a snip at £60k 😄

Hi did rdon get back to you he has replied to me but basically said its to expensive to do one as you and other have already said. There are others interested seen I'n a different place on this forum . I would be more than happy for you to deal with ordering and such and very happy with a plain cover 

Yeah we have been chatting, trying to get pricing on a bulk buy. Once I know I can put a price out. If you are all happy then i'll order a batch 

As much as I love my Nismo. £43k someone is going to be very disapointed, its not and never was worth that. Thats bonkers.

I brought it down a bit already it was at £29k originally, not sure i can do anymore. Its just over 19k miles on the clock, each driver only put a few thousand each time when you look at the mot, so it must have been a weekend car for most.

Just for refference, when I bought mine 2 yrs ago 2019 white 5k miles 28k form a Nissan dealer.

Considering the value seems to have gone up since then on these id say its priced somewhere in the right ballpark. But if you can squeeze a bit more off the asking price then go for it. More money in the Mod pot

Found someone called rdon but not rickdon also loads of Rick's but can't see where they are from but did see a Rick d

Thanks for showing the love to mine

Ive messaged RDON if he can pop me in touch with the suppliers im happy to handle the ordering etc of these.

It may be a case of having to order 20 so i'd probably order 10x 370Z and 10x Nismo style.

On mine the Nismo etc faded, hence the decal in its place. So as an alternative I could just order 20x plain cover and let you guys mod them with a decal ? 

Let me know your prefared route and if I can get hold of them i'll come back to you

Sorry for the thread hijack. 

Was a flipping epic club event again, massive thanks for organising. Roll on next year  

Another with a main stealer woe story here. Car was still under warrenty when I got it, so naturally, serviced at Nissan to keep it all perfect history wise...

Second service, they never stamped the damn book so it looks like I have missed an annual service 😡 If they forget to stamp a book, be glad they didn't start faffing with your system 🙃

If you want to read and wipe codes that arrise from decat, HFCs before its remapped etc, then a simple odb2 tool from Sh-Amazon will do the job. ELM327 blutooth work well enough with the Torque app, gives you access to some live data too.

If you want to be doing full diagnostics, not sure if there is a need to? Then yes you will need the full consult suite.

I wouldn't worry about the fake noise. Within a week you will be looking for a more fruity exhaust. Once installed, you never hear the fake noise again

This is what you'll encounter under the MK2 spoiler on the later model Nismos. All but 4 need smoothing, preparation and painting before the new spoiler is ready to go. I've been really struggling to find a bodyshop prepared to take this on 

New spoiler covers them all  

Was going to use some of them as squish through bond holes, the rest will have extra double sided tape applied over them to prevent water ingress.

In your scenario, id be buying a new tailgate from a non Nismo and get it painted etc to match. Be cheaper than any quote to fill, smooth and paint to remove the extra holes

Must be tricky to get to the screws underneath the hatch after removing the plastic trim. I'm wonder if the clips click in. There looks to be a lot of them on v2 spoiler. 

 

Once the screws are off is it a case of using fishing line to undo the glue or tape to separate the spoiler from the body. Then hoping the clips dont keep it stuck.

Yeah looking at the clips on the pics above, im thinking release the ones at the back with a trim tool then sort of lift and slide towards the front of the car and try and slide them out. then remove the pegs with the tool.

Just gonna have to mask the paintwork up and go for it I guess, won't know till I try kinda thing. At least seeing the pics, I know its possible to get it off without damage 

Sorry to revive this old thread, but this could be invaluable in my next mod.

The V2 spoiler is coming off and being replaced (eventually) I need to get the spoiler off with no damage to it or the clips etc. as once its off im test fitting its replacement to refine it if needed before going to paint etc. Then the V2 will go back on temporary till its ready.

So in short, any tips for getting the V2 spoiler off with no damage ?

Thinking:

Fishing line

Cardboard 

Masking tape

Assorted trim clip tools.

Do I start on top or at the back when de-clipping ? etc etc 

All tips appreciated

You need to replace the bonnet hinges to do this on the 370, they have those daft pedestrian pop up hinges.

Was considering it myself, then I saw what was needed so never bothered following up on it. Torqen listed a kit and hinges, probably still have them.

Been way too long since I updated....

Added some red coolant pipe work, New Z1 Dipstick topper, that was fun to fit.....

Nismo mag sump plug, Oil filter (and Oil) and pads for installation before the remap.

HFC's on  Gotta say, HFC's plus short tails is loud, VERY loud 😆

Absolutely gutted I missed this one, was reasonably local to me and a fantastic area for roads. Some are a little bumpy, especially leading up to that carpark  

Fingers crossed there is another next year

Seen a few at local Jap meets, they are a great looking car. Was not sure about them at first. But now I have seen a few up close... Would I have one ? nah, its just another BMW 😆

Probably not a lot on it as insurance is a PITA over here when you have NOS installed. 

Had a feeling insurance might be a little more tricky with it.

From what ive read, seems its pretty safe to do but all sources in the US. I was hoping there may have been someone here who had done it to the 70 or 50 and had some guidance and first hand experience.

Lost compression ?

As the title, looking for advice on going NOS

Seems to be loads of FI builds Supercharged or Turbo'd not seen any NOS builds. 

So, what is a 'safe' boost on stock internals, will soon be EcuTek tuned for the CAS and HFC's can I throw a 100BHP shot of NOS safely ? How long does a 15Lb tank last etc etc

Thanks for any advice

Are you suggesting a cull of 600 user profiles?! Think about how much space could be freed up 😉

I'd be happy to cull the people behind the profiles too in some cases, ungrateful turds 😆
