  1. I have NISMO suspension on my 350GT, and a top ball joint needs replacing. Are the suspension arms cross fitting between 350Z and the GT? And if so does anyone know where I can source NISMO replacement parts?
  2. My 350GT recently went in for some work, and came back with the pedal loose. I cannot find the clip that holds it onto the bar - anyone have one for sale or know a supplier for just the clip (don't really want to buy a whole assembly or even the pedal). Note: I believe the Z will fit the 350GT. All help much appreciated, Nick
  3. Oops forgot the image to go with it
  4. I have a leak from the top rad hose on my 350GT - can't see if it is the hose itself or the clip getting loose. I am led to believe it is the same part used on the Z as my GT. Anyone recommend a supplier? Don't want cheap Chinese parts though. cheers, Nick
  5. I think I have sourced actuators now, but still looking for lock/mechanism/key, if anyone knows a 350GT with one available
  6. Drawing a blank with finding a 350GT being scrapped so it looks like a call to Nissan for OEM parts - bank balance isn't going to like this
  7. Still looking for a lock mechanism/barrel and key for my 350GT...anyone?
  8. Thank you - I have actually watched that one - it's a good informative 'how-to'. I shall commit to memory
  9. Mate, I still don't know what you mean by 'rather than a DIY fix'...the DIYs I'm talking about are video tutorials how to change the door mechanism using genuine replacement nissan parts, nothing to do with universal parts or some cheap half-the-job fix... The proper job, with the proper parts, just so there's no confusion... I'll link them if you like, cos I have the distinct impression that you think I mean something else, or you're looking at something else P.S. If you change the lock barrel, Aren't you going to need both sides and ignition barrel too? What;s wrong with your lock barrel? I doubt you'll need to change that or that it cannot be somehow transplanted in the new door lock mech, but that's an assumption, I haven't tried. If you could link the videos that would be great, thanks. I do need the door lock barrel, as when I put the key in it, it just turns without locking/unlocking the door; i think, the internals are no good now. I can change the lock and leave the ignition, surely? Just means two different keys
  10. Excellent, thanks for this. I know there is a DIY replacement that involves using a generic actuator but if I can replace the genuine part with OEM I would rather do that, and if a Z one will fit the GT then that is easily sorted Now to find a door lock and I will be even happier Nick, I forgot about the aftermarket door actuator for the G35 and the kits are cheap as chips from USA @ about $10 There are plenty videos for this on youtube and looks very straight forward and only requires the door card removed and a few extra holes drilled and a couple of wires snipped, extended and re-routed. However you will still require the lock and barrel in your instance. As I am taking the door apart anyway, to sort the lock, I may as well replace the actuators rather than a DIY fix - (I have seen the videos on the generic aftermarket replacements). I mat replace the window motor too as I know they are a weak spot. I think it is going to be finding a lock/key that will be the hard part.
  11. Excellent, thanks for this. I know there is a DIY replacement that involves using a generic actuator but if I can replace the genuine part with OEM I would rather do that, and if a Z one will fit the GT then that is easily sorted Now to find a door lock and I will be even happier
  12. My 350GT has decided that its door lock doesn't want to function anymore - key turns but doesn't do anything. I have been using the key for last few months as the ever dependable actuators stopped too. So does anyone have a GT they are breaking, with the lock, and actuators for sale? (Obv the actuators need to work lol) I know these cars a somewhat rarer in the UK but someone must know of one being broken? I've tried over on the SOF but no joy there as yet. All help appreciated, Nick
  13. @Aashenfox - it looks like this might be the lock barrel itself rather than the actuator (even though I will probably need to replace that too). Just need to source one!
  14. Tricky - yes I am thinking it is most likely the lock itself - barrel assembly possibly, rather than the actuator. I will have a look around at a replacement and key.
  15. Hi all, hoping someone can help wit m 350GT problem. Last year the remote central locking failed which appears to be a common fault on the GT. I did not feel capable of changing it myself and as I could still use the key it didn't really bother me. Well, today I went to lock the car with the key and nothing.....it turns fine but there is only a slight movement in the interior lever to show anything at all. Also, when the key turns it feels different, like something has come loose or is rubbing. Question is, do I need to strip the whole door to see what the problem is? Remove window etc? Anyone had any experience of fixing this fault? ( I have posted this on the Skyline/350GT forum too) All the best, Nick
  16. Thanks for the info mate - as I said I was just curious Good luck with the project, I shall be keeping an eye on it
  17. Thanks for replying Wasso - not actually looking at doing so, just wondered what is possible. I have a 350GT at the moment which is above average mileage, and IF it ever needed a new engine I was pondering what would be the merits etc of transplanting a V8 over getting a rebuilt etc VQ Cost wise I would imagine getting a rebuilt and then tuned VQ would be infinitely easier/cheaper lol
  18. Not that I am looking to do so, but has anyone swapped out their Z engine for a V8 at all? I have seen a couple in the US with LS engines, but what about over here? What would it take?
