Being IT myself I know the pain of these things, all your efforts to get things back up and running are much appreciated.

As for the 1% just delete their crap and forget they were ever a thing   

Bargain that.

One of the few that actually work, great induction noise too 

Love it, really need to get the sides done on mine. What % did you go with ?

Regular unless you are taking them back to bare metal. Prep prep prep, nice 2k lacquer to finish them off also.

Looking at those, they need to go back to bare, nightmare of a job unless sandblasting 😕

Sure, just donate the amount shown on the listing to our bank account and we'll return the donation with sending out the spoiler 

Hahaha seems like a fair offer  

Fancy donating one of your AMS wings to a good cause ?

I know it’s an old post but what glue did you use ? Ta

Would imagine the vulcanising glue from a puncture repair kit would be best, as its rubberised will allow for the sidewall flex

Haha I think there aren't 'friendly' MOT testers left these days with all the requirements of running an MOT test nowdays

Been told mine will have the same emissions as a 1.0l Corsa by all accounts 🤣

Scrap value has taken a massive dip at the moment, looking around £530 for a set in good condition. Down from £700-750 a couple of months back. 

Holding on to mine till it goes up again or selling for £700 cash second hand to anyone that needs them.

My understanding is the cats are identical, certainly all replacements are interchangeable between - and also with the Infinity G37. The Nismo exhaust differs but is cat back.

Thought so, thanks for confirming  

Sorry to necro an old thread, but I assume the cats off a 2019 Nismo will fit a 2011 GT too ?

Got someone interested in them before I send for scrap value  

Love the look of the carbon. That cubby cover would look good with the Z in silver 

As title, anyone on here do 3D printing ? 

Looking for some 1 off center caps for the Nismo. DM me to discuss please  

Yeah they are certainly worth the money, work much better with a bit of heat in them and don't seem to fade with some fast road action. 

As the Z is a weekend toy now, when she goes out for a drive, we drive 

Think the fact you went to the darkside, deserves a temporary ban. However, as you have seen the error in your ways we can let it slide this time 

Welcome back 

Yes I think it can be turned off, but for what it costs may as well just live with it and put the money towards the exhaust. Dead money.

How did you get on with the Hawk pads?

Spot on bud, about to order another set for the fronts. Not sure they are ready for changing yet, but they have took some hammer so may as well refresh them and get them bedded in ready for Spring   

Compression test and injectors. 

Personally, think they do more harm than good. Be far better off getting a detail done and a good ceramic coating.

Covers trap moisture, dust gets in, ready for you to unwrap a scratched up mouldy mess of a car in spring.

Coat the paintwork, and let it sit. The sun does far more damage than a bit of rain and snow ever would 

Yeah was pondering just getting OEM filter, I know the K&N ones are garbage so been a little wary of non Nissan stuff for warranty purposes. 

As for the 5w40 I know its better for high temps, but im going on the route of changes every 5k so change while its still fresh and not end of life sort of thing

Thought it would be better to revive an old thread than start a new one for the same thing...

These suitable for a quick pre winter oil change ?

Snowfoam, without a doubt Alien Magic. Not the cheapest but the dwell time is superb. Bright colours and scented good enough to drink (please do not drink) 

Cleaning, pretty much only Auto Finesse. From soap to fall out remover, tar and glue, citrus wash, wheel cleaners. A selection of their soft detail brushes and a set of the stiffer bristled ones for wheels/engine bay

Sealer, super quick and easy Auto Finesse Lavish. Snow lance it onto a wet car let it sit for a minute or so and rinse off. Dry and a 'Ceramic' coating that lasts a good few washes. Usually wax over it if attending a show, just for that extra pop

Wax again Auto Finesse Fusion.

Bay dressing, Dressel from, yup you guessed Auto Finesse.

Metal bits, well the short tails, Autoglym metal polish

On the 370, the textured ones are internal clips, the bumper ones are smooth, hence the part number I linked (I somehow lost one of mine) 

Im starting to think, Nissan just used whatever push clips they had laying around at the time, could be different on 2 cars of the same model and year 🤣

Your best bet is to just get an assortment of used ones from Alex, will have some spare too then.

They are not identical, but the ones for the 370z are CLIP: 01553-09321 may be a useful point to start the hunt.

BTW they are £2.45 each at Nissan  

Go on Ebay, probably get 20 for that price 

Great day out yet again, massive thanks for arranging this. 

Apologies from both myself and the wife, she was suffering with a headache at the llanberis stop, with 2.5hr drive home to do we had to get off. God help her when the HFC's go on and the Db's go up an notch 

Managed to make it home with just 45 miles of fuel left in the tank, 1+1/2 tanks used. @GranTurismoEra hope we didn't drag you off route heading home, was flashing to say goodbye, not 'follow me' 🤣

After todays period of national grief, I will return Zara from 'Racecar' to show pony with a much needed wash....

Again, thanks for organising @davey_83
