Ok guys need some help please. 

My brakes were sticking on (brembo fronts) so went to change them it turns out the brake pad retaining clips (the ones that bolt onto the side of the caliper) has snapped and was causing the brakes to stick in place, anyone know where to get one from or even what they're called

It's not the spring clips with the pins that go on top its the ones the pads sit into.

So guys I woke up to find some c*$# has tried to break into my car and broke my A piller trim Does anyone know where I could get a replacment??

Found it someome had been messing about with the main engine loom, fed the wires back through the hole in the firewall, didn't bother to put a grommet back on it  all this because of that!

Ill get a grommet tomorrow, and Hopfully that'll fix my issue!

I found a water leak coming in on the passenger side and wetting the eletrics and ecu i think this is my issue but I don't know where the water is getting in from :/

More help please, so after while of having no issues i didn't take the car to nissan, stupid i know, but i took my car for a clean today, and after a jet was the imobiliser has stayed active again, everytime this has happened its either been raining or like I said had a jet wash. Any ideas?

I've booked it into Nissan on Thursday, I spoke to a technician he can confirm that my error is the the NATS system and the IMMU is the cause and will need to be replaced. They're going to do a full diagnostic check, then replace the IMMU and the cost is £100 labour and the price of the part which is £110 so it's not too bad.

Car details: 2004 350z with an aftermarket rev up engine.

Hey, guys and gals,
So I've had my car for a few months, with no major issues, however yesterday I drove to a few shops and then at my last stop when I got back in the car to set of home the car wouldn't start. After allot of research I realised the immobiliser light was still on, on-top of the dashboard.  After being stuck in a car park for about 3-4 hours yesterday while waiting for a pickup, the car decided to fix itself and allowed me to start the car and drive home. I then drove the car home, and later that evening went back out, and back home again no issues. Today I went out to go to the shops went to the hardware shop, no issues then went to asda.... got back in the car and it happened again.  This time I had to get it recovered home.

More information:
So after allot of research I am 90% sure that this is an error with my NATS, I have the error code P1610 and P1612. I have tried everything I can think of and every suggestion I can find online including; using my second key, disconnecting the battery for half an hour and then trying the key, 10 on 5 off, resetting the ecu using "pedal dancing" and the obvious... crying.... 

Am I correct in assuming the only options I have for this is to take it the Nissan to get them to fit a new IMMU and reprogramming my keys to it? Or to purchase a uprev licence and get a remap and while they're doing that get them to remove the NATS completely?

Any and all advice welcome, Thanks guys 

Just an update guys, I backed the bolt as far back as possible to bring the pedal out, Bled the car again, it was feeling better but still not perfect, I did the thing with the plank against the pedal for the night came back the next day and it felt great! So I've re adjusted the pedal down so the bite isn't in the steering wheel. Hahaha, Thanks for all the help, happy to say this is sorted =D Also for anyone else doing it, quick tip if you are backing the pedal off using the spindle at the back if you back the nut all the way back you can use that instead of trying to grab it with pliers. =D

@Doom

I haven't had chance to do it yet as I was called into work. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get it done. =D

@Keyser ok bud Ill do it Sunday and let you know cheers for all the help! 

@Keyser cheers for the help bud i did what you said and the clutch felt great! (Nice pressure) however it still seems to stick about 3/4 of the way up holds there for about half a second then pops all the way up with a clunk. I tried adjusting the pedal (now my biting point is really low which is how i like it) but its still doing the stick and clunk everynow and again. 

Hey @Keyser just to clarify after leaving the pedal down for afew hours are you opening the bleed nipple with the wood before starting the usual bleed procesure, or do you let the pedal back up and pump it before you open the nipple?

Ok guys so i replaced my flex line and slave cylinder as my clutch was sticking. I have done the usual method of bleeding and have some pressure but it seems to still stick and it feels spongey, I've tried everything I can think of...

- I've adjusted the master rod, and tried the normal method of bleeding.

- I've tried leaving the clutch pressed in for afew hour's and then trying to bleed it.

- I even bought a pressure bleeder (see picture) which didn't work because the caps were to small, someone said that if you drill a 10mm hole into your cap you can use that aslong as you tie it down. Well I did that and tied it down with cable ties but air is escaping around the seals on the cap

any advice?

Hey guys im wondering if you can help, my idle pully tensioner bolt has snapped on my 350z and I cant find a replacment anywhere, I think I have the part number for the kit but no one seems to be able to get it. The part number is 11927ag30a

If not I dont suppose you know if the tensioner bolt from the ac belt would work on the other pully?

You can see the pulley and tensioner bolt I need in the picture.

Any and all help would be great! Thanks

Do i want to ask how much a pump is?

Hey guys and gals my power steering feels really weird on idle so i'm having to rev the car slightly to turn the wheels other wise if feel bumpy if that makes sense. Could the system need bleeding?

@OnlyAfro cheers bud, you've been really helpful with all my posts

Does this oil pressure look low for my engine?

I have a 2004 de car but a 2007 revup engine has been swapped into it.

This is on idle but increases significantly when driving, car drives fine no issues.

cheers for all the advice buddy =D On my to do list is some maintenance (clutch slave needs changing) a bit of a bodywork tidy up, a new driver's seat as mine is ripped, additional bodywork (side louvers, side skirts and maybe a front lip) then coilovers =D

Oh and spacers for the front wheels haha

Oh my bad, like I said I'm new to zeds haha, Is there much difference when It comes to power mods? Like someone was saying if I have a rev up engine an intake spacer is pointless?

Hey, guys so I've not long bought my zed its a 2004 but the guy I bought it off said he changed the engine, the engine was from a 2007 zed and he claims it to be an up rev engine is there any way to tell? I saw the other engine at his house so I know the engine has been swapped. 

I'm interested =D

Ahh right, well i spoke to a lad at rs tuning they can do it but im looking at £500 which I can't do at the moment so I'll buy the switches and things and do it the cheap mans way for now Oh and live without cruise control for now aswell

Thanks for all the help guys Im currently not in a place to spend the money on a remap so for now Ill switch both the connector and the fuse to allow me to turn things on and off when I need to.

@OnlyAfro I don't suppose you know anyone close to me that could flash cruise control rom onto my ecu?

Perfect mate I'll give them both a call tomorrow.
