  1. https://www.facebook...240876782696592 Says collection, but you could ask about delivery.
  2. £1k for a P3, slave cylinder replacement, new tyres AND tax/insurance??? Sounds like an absolute bargain... As for the wipers, you can just sand them back and repaint them. If you can't be bothered, then just or Jon@Emperor who I bet both have spares for sale. Procedure for removing is in the service manual, but this thread may help.
  3. Shh, don't draw attention to them or Dan will come shout at me again. I've only got 1 Evergreen, the rest are Riken Maystorms (like that's any better ), and yep, they're mixed on the rear axle Let's just say that corners are... exciting... and the skid light is almost a permanent feature. Weren't my choice, they were just on the car when I bought it. I got through winter without them killing me, although there was a brief stint where I stupidly turned the TCS off and almost regretted it. They are starting to get low now, so I finally have an excuse to change them without it feeling like a waste. Tempted by MPS, but swaying towards Falkens I think.
  4. Louvres are coming along, just got to finish painting them and get them mounted, shouldn't be too long now. However, apart from reinstalling a load of trim, today was spent doing some front bumper investigation. Seeing as it needs a respray, the plan is to shave the front emblem and license plate while I'm at it. License plate is secured out of the way for now to keep it legal, and at some point I'll try get all those holes filled. Looks like gash, but it's only supposed to be temporary. Hopefully it'll encourage me to get it sorted sooner rather than later
  5. Probably best not to advertise that
  6. I'd say so. There's other blue ones, but they have black borders, not silver:
  7. Was going to post this Up there with the Jolly Rancher story
  8. Scottee's are on a gunmetal. No idea if they were swapped in or came like that from factory though.
  9. Because it works out an EXTRA £600 over these options new for a set of 4 You must be getting a cracking deal on them then because MPSS are only £255 per corner at those sizes...
  10. Still nowhere near as bad as playing fake exhaust sounds through the speakers...
  11. Cheap ebay specials can be fine and expensive ones can fail, but you pay extra to reduce the risk. You may never have an issue, you may get some wobble and have to replace them, or you may have a catastrophic failure and injure / kill someone, leaving you wishing you'd spent an extra £40. Not saying it's necessarily wrong to cheap out, but it's a relatively small price to pay for peace of mind.
  12. Why not just get MPSS? Seem to be suitable and a hell of a lot cheaper than Force Contacts. (Order from Blackcircles).
  13. ^Guide for boot weight delete. Easier and cheaper than replacing struts. Can remove the rear wiper and motor too while you're at it for extra weight saving and cosmetic enhancement.
  14. http://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate/nissan/350z Are the usual ones people go for.
  15. But it does look a lot better with them! No doubt, but I'd rather have my Z on the road, even without spacers.
  16. There's 3 fuse boxes. 1 in the driver foot well and 2 next to the battery under the bonnet. Are you referring to this boot lid harness?
  17. I was okay with the civic triangle exhaust since the alternative was awful plastic blanking plates...
  18. The Z doesn't look that bad without spacers It's like engine oil, they may all be synthetic 5W-30 and meet the same standards, but there is a huge range of prices with no other discernible difference between them. However, we tend to go for more expensive variants rather than cheaping out.
