  1. I have some friends in King's Lynn who might be able to take them off your hands and I can grab them next time I see them, I'll get back to you
  2. I'm close, not extremely close though (South Essex). I'll be at Wheels at the Warren on 7th Sept (Maldon) which will probably be the closest I'll be to Norfolk in a while. How far are you willing to travel?
  3. On the look out for a Nismo 2015+ V2 front bumper (Pearl White QAB). If anyone has one because they're either breaking the car down (😔) / putting back to stock from a conversion ready to sell or knows anyone, please LMK 🙏

  5. It's a 2012 GT Edition. Can't remember the mileage off the top of my head, around 40k. Next stop is cold air intakes.
  6. My discs were lipped so they needed to be changed, decided to change the pads (nearly worn) and the brake lines too. Whilst I had it all out I gave the wheel wells a good clean and decided to refurbish some of the brackets and bolts, etc., as-well-as the calipers, dampers, and coil springs. Here's how it turned out. How it started Caliper guide pin (before ultrasonic cleaning) Caliper cross spring (before ultrasonic cleaning) Caliper guide pin (after ultrasonic cleaning) Caliper cross springs (after ultrasonic cleaning) Calipers painted New pads installed Calipers fully back togethe Front coil springs prepped for painting Finished front coil springs Coilover back together with new stainless steel braided brake lines attached Front drivers side finished with refurbished coilover, new brake lines, new brake disc + pads, and refurbished caliper. A better view of the new discs and refurbished calipers
  7. Haha, yeah the guy initially misunderstood me and tried to source a new set of rear coils from Japan but couldn't get any. I think the reason they say they need replacing is because they have stops on the nut stopping you from tightening them too far, guess they can wear away. Mine looked okay though, bit rusty but I ultrasonic cleaned them and they look brand new now.
  8. Managed to get through to "local" Nissan parts department, said the same as @ZMANALEX that the nuts only need replacing if they are perished.ZMANALE X
  9. Okay, I assumed they needed replacing as they were like nylon locking nuts or something
  10. Does anyone know where I can find the nuts mentioned on page 8 of the service manual (RSU) when removing the rear coil spring? Closest I've managed to find is: https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/genuine-nissan-350z-03-09-370z-09-20-rear-upper-shock-nut.html But that references a "Rear upper shock nut" rather than "Rear lower link mounting nuts". Thanks
  11. Yeah I am changing the brakes at the moment so will fiddle with the suspension and see if I can clean it up and re-bed it
  12. It's less over harsh bumps, it's more noticeable over uneven ground. To me it seems to happen more when the rear rotates about the main axis
  13. Nah it isn't a click or thunk; its a squeek I can only decribe as a muffled dogs toy.
