    SGS rear struts.

    Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, mine doesn't have the Nismo spoiler, just the standard lip one. I don't want to make hard work of closing the boot than necessary, if you know what I mean.
  2. During this winter mine don't seem to be holding the bootlid up unless you hold it in position fully & slowly let go. I have the standard lip spoiler on, but just wondered if it was worth going for the ones for the Nismo spoiler for extra lift?
  3. Another for Dr. Leather wipes, I then nourish them with Juicy Details cream & buff off any excess once it's been absorbed.

    Exhaust upgrade

    Or even given your budget, look for a used one on ebay..

    As above, what's your budget? Plenty of systems on ebay at the bottom end of your budget, they may not sound the best from what you see on YT. Mine has an Ark Grip on it & I love the thing..
  6. All I read was praise for Mishimoto stuff when I first joined the forum. I had 1 failed cooling fan so bought the twin fan Mishimoto kit which, so far has been spot on. But then again, they probably don't make the fans, just put their name on them, the shroud is just a piece of aluminium so you can't go wrong there too. But I didn't pay for it, the warranty company did.
  7. Holding both buttons on the fob will activate the unlocking of both doors with one press of the fob. Holding both of them again will put it back to factory settings, only the drivers door unlocks. Pretty sure it's a safety thing so nobody can jump into the passenger seat? Would be nicer if the doors would automatically lock when you start to drive off.
  8. What about the bushes & balljoint on the lower control arm?
  9. Big Pioneer nut here, have always had them. Love the amount of features they have, also how much you can fine tune the audio to suit everyones ears.
  10. This could be the same Z I spotted a while ago: Had a big rear spoiler, carbon style front & rear side skirts add ons along with a front lip. Didn't see who was in it as I was in a hurry to get home. I was parked just 3 rows on front of it.
  11. I noticed a slight chirp upon startup on my Z in the cold weather last year, I tightened the tensioner just a smidge & it was fine ever since.
  12. I also had a horrible metal on metal clang. I had that same bush appear to be working it's way out of the arm. I had my local mechanic remove the arm & press in a new bush I supplied him:
  13. Common on my old 406 Coupes, it was the connector under the seat in them, we cut the connector out & solder the wires together. Assuming yours is the same issue? Might be worth having the codes read to narrow it down.
  14. Not sure how the Z setup is, but possible bearing failure in the top mount?
  15. Easy enough to do yourself with basic tools. Can't remember the last time I let a garage service any of my cars.
  16. Only spotted this at the last minute, reg ended in XDA or similar. Around 4.20pm today so it was going dark, was either silver or grey.
  17. Like the look of louvers but the fact they can only be fitted one way using adhesive, it coming off at motorway speeds worries me.
  18. I was going to suggest heat, how did you get round it in the end? Did you try anything like the Easy-out sockets?
  19. Reg had NPV at the end, blue 53 plate with an aftermarket front bumper & a big rear wing, around 10.30am this morning.
  20. I did mine back in July, they still look fresh now: https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/117550-10-min-headlight-resto/

    Coolant flush

    Is the Z specific to Nissans green coolant, or could it be substituted for an alternative like red Dexcool or similar? I would replace with the genuine stuff personally.
  22. I replaced my front pads about 2 months ago, old ones were Delphi, new ones were Ferodo, they weren't the DS range, they were only about £40 & perform well with the grooved discs already on the front, not sure what make they are but there's no squeal.
  23. Really? I've seen this on American Z's on YT but this doesn't work on mine.
  24. I too am not a fan of that lip that has the huge ankle chopping edges on, just my opinion of course. How does it fit, adhesive, sealant, screws etc?
  25. The battery positive connection was loose.
