Thats the going rate for Nismo mats. I'm unbelievably tempted but I just don't know if I can justify 300 quid for one mat when my passengers is mint. 

 

I can tell you at the main dealers these are best part of £545...

Same, I kinda want them. But would only put them in for shows 

If you caught it early, you may be super lucky and get away with just replacing the shells.

Drop the sump and see how bad it is, if the crank is marked up, then you are looking at major work. 

Just bear in mind, replacing the shells wont solve the root issue but will get it running again, how long it lasts is a bit of a lottery.

I haven't heard of a annual perforation check before 🤔

Should be done as part of the service at a main dealer

Ok. I draw the line at this.

Wearing a Nismo watch in a Kia....  

Where is my complaint writing pen, ill lend them my car for the shoot if they need

Not at all, it looks great!

 

How much did the gear knob cost, presumably made/sold by the company on the card?

Yeah custom made, £49.99 delivered, absolute bargain. Decent guy too, sends you the cad images etc so you can visualise it and change if needed.

I can see that my Z now has a twin - red roof and heavy tint rear screen!

 

What wrap was used for the roof - Avery Dennison?

Ah sorry bud, wasn't ripping off your idea.

Was originally going carbon, but the carbon had a flaw in it and looked really crap so he pulled it off. The colour is a BMW metallic red, can't remember the exact name but its a pretty close match to the red on the splitter and skirts etc.

As for the tints, just had to go Limo tint, saves having to keep the boot cover across so no one see's your stuff  

Getting the lights, DRL's and splitters done next, going with a 2 part wrap on the headlights, smoked PPF for the lenses and then a dark tint over the orange indicator section, rears just smoked   

Fingers crossed my pipes are onsite, you can fit them while im there 

OEM knob was a bit of a nob to get off. I won in the end....

For sale: 

Nismo OEM gearknob, slightly used.... 

Ok so some more stuff has happened.....

Sorry to semi hijack this one. I assume the cats will be the same on the Nismo, can you send me the part numbers/cat codes when you swap them.

Im going to get HFC's on mine but will scrap my current cats with the local scrap dealers, should get a decent bit of cashback for the precious metals, i'd expect they cover about half the cost of HFC's. But for a price I need the codes

Cheers

those MGs were terrible, a mate had one years ago and it spent more time in the garage then on the road.

Were ? They still are 

However, that one is kinda cool. Based on the fact all the shite they glued to it hides the rust

 Hi mate those aren't the original tyres, the nismo came with Dunlop sport max, did you say it has a super charger on it? or am reading your post incorrectly? If it has then the manufacturer warranty will be void, just some food for thought 

I stand corrected, don't know why I though Bridgestones ? All I know is they are crap 

But knew 100% those were not stock tyres  

Was more thinking if its had new tyres for some reason and they have fitted the wrong sizes, that can send the ESP mental. If factory tyres they would have been Bridgestone Potenzas.

Ive never had mine flash on a dry road in 3rd at 4000rpm in a straight line, few times out of a corner if really pushing on but just seems a bit weird.

Don't suppose you took note of the tyre sizes ? unless it was very wet or slick roads I wouldn't expect the TC light in 3rd doing pulls....

I'd be taking a much closer look at that Z before parting  with any money, that corrosion in the exhaust really does not look right for the age and miles.

That depends on if they even made the other 21 or not. Or something.

 

 

 

 

Well in that case, its worth double that. Rare = ££££

I assume you get the other 39 with it ?

Keep your standard wheels on, will make you drive more carefully and avoid damaging far more expensive parts of the car than the wheels

Hahaha love the thinking, its more so I have some tyre left for the drive home after, that and not trashing the MP4S 

Damn that looks good, one lucky Z living in there  

Just looking for something cheap that fit really. Not bothered if they are curbed to death just not bent or buckled.

Just something I can throw some midrange tyres on for a beginner track day  

Looks like 2x boxes of 4 and 4 singles

Hi Guys, looking for some advice on cheap wheels for track use for the Nismo.

Just something I can throw tyres on and let loose for few sessions here and there. Nothing fancy, just something that clears the calipers etc 

Thanks in advance  

Should just be a sticky this one. 

Under the section of Rivals, that should read: None

Hi mate its only my opinion, but there is not that much space in the boot of a 370Z for a dog, unless its not much bigger than a hamster, please don't take this comment the  wrong way, as for a bike carrier i would guess there would be on suitable on the market 

I can fit more in my wallet than the boot of my Nismo, fun car but just not practical in anyway. The rear brace and luggage cover bar are both in the way for a dog imo 

I'd be getting a good priced Nismo and a cheap Focus or something for the bikes and dogs unless you already have a suitable alternate daily.

If your local ish to me im more than happy to meet up and you can take a first hand look at the space, or lack of.

She also made it to be Wheels Up North Cover car for the month too

Simple little wheel mod, think they look way better with the Red accent.

Plus a bonus shot from the last Jap2Jap, amazing 350z he has fitted rear seats to it too
