  1. Have you had your oil gallery gaskets checked as well, just to be on the safe side? Probably the only other "known" issue that could cause you grief down the road Good to see they appear to be looking after you, let's hope it continues
  2. Neyee? Or Londoncity Z on IG? Big guy came up to me an louis and we then spent the whole day wandering around incarnation?
  3. If you don't turn back and look, you bought the wrong car
  4. Nismo skirts would set it off a treat and you know it would
  5. That photo is one of the best I've seen in a while for a 350z, pretty spot on to what one should look like. But my lord is she crying out for a set of side skirts!!
  6. Have we met at one of the incarnation events? Cryptic message is Cryptic Yeah I've been looking at various LED bulbs, but they not festoon bulbs like I thought they were, they're 501's! Ideally I'd like to get the LED rear indicator and reverse bulbs as well but the first set ive fitted hyperflash In the long run I'm thinking Nismo V1 spoiler, Ark grip V2, tinted windows and subtle carbon fibre interior upgrades. Not rushing into modifications yet though I spent the whole of last weekend detailing the car. Regretted it Monday morning when I couldn't bloody move
  7. Danng, talk about doing it right! A nismo 350 in Japan. Is it the video or are the majority of those cars on the lot in great condition for the respective ages? Especially the 300zx's I really hope you do bring it back, wherever back may be as thats one hell of a story to tell
  8. Ignore I worked it out. Im a donkey and had switched it off
  9. Hey everyone, It's probably me doing something wrong or different, but normally as we know the nismo dials and gauges normally "spin" on a first startup, where they go to max and back again. Mine have done this several times but it doesn't always do it, they just go straight to the normal positions. Is this a quirk or am I doing something wrong?
  10. Not updates as such, but I did fit LED rear numberplate units which update it no end, they're so bright and crystal white And then today I was able to give it it's first proper wash. Why does a car finally feel like yours when you're able to give it a wash
  11. Evening boys and girl's! So some of you may remember my 350z. I let her go a couple weeks ago which was pretty gutting but I knew something bigger and better was on the way So with that being said, I'd been saving for the last year and a half and what with 2020 being such a drip, I decided to treat myself. Which lead me to find this, my 2016 Nismo. It's a one owner car with 34K on the clock and full nissan service history. It has been lowered already and has wheel spacers fitted, but other then that is a bone standard immaculate car. Its easy to say I'm thrilled with it Collection day, at the Dealership Had to travel down to Exeter for it, the 200 mile drive back was great fun. Honestly, I'm still terrified of her and feel very protective haha. Let's be honest, we all know I'm going to modify it, but not just yet. Im after just enjoying the car for now. Heres a few photos of the night I got her home
  12. So who else is ready then? Exhaust tightened, tracking and tyre pressures and may have sneakily regassed the aircon, but don't tell the boss
  13. Do you mean down by the BP garage / wild bean cafe? If so we'll meet you there, I'll be in my 350 and will have a mate in his Honda (Don't try to bully him, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing )
  14. Is this too late for me to jump on the stand if I can get the Z running? It's been a massive dick lately hence late posting

  16. Can I provisionally add myself to the list Martin, only thing that will stop me is the weather. I've never done ace before so I'd like to see what the fuss is about lol
  17. Still for sale, I just don't check in often to the forum anymore
  18. I am prepared to listen to sensible offers if it means a hassle free sale. Viewing in person is highly recommended
  19. Evening Everyone, Welcome to my for sale add for my 2003 facelifted DE. So it's with a slightly heavy heart that I think it's time to move on and grow up a little. Work have offered me some very tempting deals on the new Type R's, so rather than running two cars, two lots of insurance etc I'm thinking its time to let the Z go. I've enjoyed every moment of ownership and who knows, I may well return! On to the car, it's a 2003 DE Z that I have spent a great deal on, from running, servicing and modifying. Mileage currently sits at just under 90,000 miles which is unlikely to rise a great deal as it's my weekend toy. I've owned it for just over three years now and before my ownership, it had FSH from Nissan. I've kept this up in my ownership with servicing every 6K miles, using only genuine oil filters, millers fully synth 5w-40 oils supplied from Opie Oils. If I've not been able to do it, my work (Honda) have done instead with all receipts to prove. I had it resprayed in April 2017 by my local garage and as a result, the paintwork does speak for itself. This year, back in June I had the facelift front end fitted and fully resprayed so it's as near perfect. I'm going to be honest and say it does have the odd car park ding and the slightest bubble of rust on the drivers rear arch. It also has a chip on the roof, I'm guessing from a stone but do bear in mind its 15 years old now. Mechanically, it's near perfect. It doesn't burn oil excessively, with no nasty knocks or clonks. Every gear slots perfectly into place, the clutch does not slip and if I could fault it, it has a noisy release bearing but this is a common trait of Zs. I'm going to be perfectly honest and say that the timing chain can be noisy from a stone cold startup, normally after it been left for a week or so but its been like this ever since I bought it. Oil pressure sits at 30psi with a hot run and 60psi at 70mph / 3500 revs. In my ownership with the servicing, the last service it had (2k miles ago) I replaced the coil packs, spark plugs & both primary 02 sensors as I was having issues with 02 lights coming on. It passed its MOT back in June last year with no advisories. It failed beforehand on the carbon monoxide levels, which is what prompted me to replace the entire exhaust system. The interior is in great condition for its age, with only a few notable areas. The drivers bolster is beginning to show its age, the passenger seat is perfect. The cubby hole button has a few scratches while the mats, carpets have little to no wear on them. Again, being honest I have smoked in this car but I will happily give the car a full valet at work if the buyer should so choose. I've tried to be as honest here as I can and have more than likely forgotten a whole host of information. I have never skimped on parts or money spent here and the car easily owes me £12000 if not more. The registration is KD53 DGZ for those who would like to look up its history, and a full build thread is available on the 350z UK forum. Pictures are available on request, Price is £7500 OVNO based on the agreed valuation. Please bare in mind in the photo's its very dirty having done a long drive last weekend.

  20. It's definitely exhaust related, I haven't been able to scan it yet to see but I'm willing to bet it's the same code which has been quiet for 1250 miles. The car has been upreved by Abbey Motorsport
  21. This comment made me howl, sorry Steve GREAT NEWS! Engine lights on again, that was a good 1250 miles. And it came on last night while I was on a date, good times
