Yeah agreed, it's one of those tricky ones, where I don't think there is a clear cut solution. Perhaps I just need to enjoy the zed more....

So I'm stuck with a dilemma..... I have a new job lined up however it comes with a much bigger commute approx 10k miles per year over 2k miles. Do I put the miles on the charged zed or buy a @*!# box which will take money from my zed spending fund?

Lol, don't mind my sence of humour ..... if you have some I'm all ears. I know you keep eyes on the wanted section .... Let's face it it's rude not to if your a breaker. Tbh over the last couple of years I've noticed activities on forums generally become rather stagnant so I don't put a lot of hope in them as Facebook groups seam to be over taking which in its self is a bit odd ..... But not to digress too much .... lve seen some pig tails for sale from czp In the states which have caught my attention, I need some of the rubbish nissan bumper grommets too but I'll grab them new. I don't need a loom just the connectors or pig pails ..... I don't expect most people are willing to butcher a loom unless the shell is off to the scrap heap of you know what I mean. Just to put the cards on the table if you do have some just let me know what you want for them, I don't want to beat about the bush haggling for a price. Cheers

Na, but he's like a whippet with a bum full of dynamite on wanted ads if there is something he has for sale lol

As per title. Looking for a pair of headlight connectors to convert my 6 pin JDM arrangement to the common 8 pin setup.

So long of the short of it I've got some UKDM facelift headlights but they are 8pin compaired to my JDM 6 pin harness. Now I've poked about the web and have a pretty good idea on wiring the pins but I'm stuck on exactly which connector I need to buy to convert my JDM loom from 6pin to 8 pin it looks very similar to a Deutsch connector but I'm not 100% sure if it is. Does anyone have a link to a pair of 8 pin connectors if you have done the mod already? Ideally I'd like to convert the loom to 8pin however is it better to unpin the facelift headlights and Rob the connector off the JDM headlight and do a switch or buy a connector and convert my current loom? Or do I simply swap all the hid ballast from my JDM lights over to the face lift? I have both sets of lights complete with ballasts it's just the connector that has thrown a spanner in the works .... Nothing is ever simple .... Yay JDM lol

Thanks for the offer, but as manky as mine is at least it's colour matched Not having much joy finding a carbon jobbie atm just trying to resist the temptation to buy new in the hope one comes up. At least it's not an urgent thing just OCD

That's a good point. Sorry it's for a 350. Problem with zmanalex is he's too faraway and third party shipping costs make it too expensive.

I'm looking for either a temporary stop gap good condition KYO (Blade Silver) bonnet or ideally a Seibon vented bonnet. Ideally anywhere from midlands to the south coast as I appreciate that these items aren't possible to ship and would require collection.

I'm interested, can you ping me a couple of pictures and prices please

Well no joy with TMS said they were planning to break any more 350z's either

Not last time I checked. But no harm in harassing them again. The colour code isn't helping my cause at the moment. I'll try and swing by their place on Monday and see what's the score.

Still looking, anyone out there breaking with a ky0 rust free drivers side wing?

Pm'd, Interested in the bonnet and rear hatch

I have a set of brake lights DE spec and a set of rear indicators for sale. Before putting them on eBay I'm putting them up here first. Both sets on good condition no cracks on lenses or mounts. Brake light one side is missing a location pin but doesn't effect fit at all. Brake lights £65 shipped ono Indicators £30 shipped ono

Bit too far to travel to be honest, its a good 2hr drive up to Birmingham in semi decent traffic. Issue with that is its harder to find people to drive up with you and bring you back if you need to leave the car. Don't get me wrong there is always public transport but id rather not lol

Just a quick update: I have had a poke about and the best price I've had so far from a 350z specialist down south is from the guys at Abby Motorsport at £315 inc vat. I will more than likely be taking mine there and to get a few other bits done .......... providing I don't keep getting distracted by too many other shiny things. One day I might win the lotto then I can buy everything at once lol

Ohhh tool porn that I didn't know existed ......... tbh Id probably try and balance it on a normal trolley jack. Yeah that's the tool I was looking at sees like its well worth it rather than bastardising the bloody thing out. Umster I've been trying to get hold of Abby motorsport but line is rather busy every time I try but I will keep this thread updated once I get a quote from them, and always worth asking if they do discounts for multiple zeds lol

Thanks for the feedback guys I already have a whiteline bushing set so its just about labour ........ hmmm yeah ... I hear what you guys are saying its going to be really crampt on just axle stands not to mention the lack of decent angle on a breaker bar. As I have the afternoon off I might as well try harassing a couple of places to see if I can get some other quotes for the work to be done. Shame I don't have access to a ramp as Id happily crack on with it. For the guys that did it DIY, how long approx did it take you from start to finish?

I need to replace my diff bushings sooner rather than later as the stock one has started to leak. Its not desperate yet so I have been looking around the web, youtube and garages to try and figure out if I DIY or put it in a garage. I'm fairly handy when it comes to working on stuff but I do lack a couple of tools that would make the job easier. Firstly I asked Horsham Developments for a quote for the work and was quoted £400 labour (in my mind i had a figure of 200-300). Now I know its not a simple job as exhaust and sway bars need removing then as well shafts and sensors etc but I'm still struggling to see where the £400 goes or perhaps they just have high hourly rates I dunno....... Any way that made me consider investing in a rear bushing removal tool from z1 motorsports and a Chinese press (probs total around £200 shipped and with HMRC's cut). So I have this balance currently of is it worth chucking to a experienced garage and spending the extra £200 on top of tooling or do I play at home on my driveway to save a few quid but then have the joys of dealing with bolts that haven't come out of the car in over 14 years lol. I wanted to put the feelers out to the community so see what other peoples experiences have been, how long it took to do the work if anyone here has done the job themselves and what options other have taken when faced with the same choice.

Awesome, cheers order placed

@Adrian@TORQEN might as well make a cheeky request too any chance of a deal on one of these https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/strut-bars/843-350z-nrg-front-strut-bar-nissan-tnb-411.html please

They're local to me so I'll give them a shout. Thanks for the heads up

I Pm'd him earlier but he said he didn't have any that were rust free. Also seen a blue HR one on eBay but reluctant to spend that kind of money if it's not a colour match.

I have a rusty from wing that needs replacing. I don't think it's worth the hassle to repair and respray as it's spread pretty well and in a couple of places on the same pannel. Sooo I've been looking about the web as you do looking for alternative options and solutions. Initially my thought was to find a colour matched wing OEM wing and just do a quick swap over and jobs a goodun. However front OEM wings that are either rust free or undamaged appear to be as rare as rocking horse poo. I then looked into pattern options, fibre glass and carbon options. I know it's possible to get new OEM from Torquen for around £300 plus paint, but like most I'm trying to make my money go the furthest while making sure I don't fall into the buy cheap buy twice trap. Pattern metal options There seems to be a wide price range from £55 to £110 and it's impossible to tell if it's the same wing or different qualities. Also from what I have seen none appear to have any holes drilled for indicators. I've read a few reviews about them being a tad on the thin side which isn't the end of the world but I could do without having to replace a dented pannell shortly down the line after paying out to get it painted up. Fiber glass I've pretty much discounted this option as when ever I have searched these online I appear to find plenty of people who have gone that way but have had huge issues with fitment and ended up giving up and going OEM. Unless anyone on here has had any positive experiences with a particular company this one I will pass over most likely. Carbon The obvious option here is seibon but at this moment in time I'm unwilling to spend loads on them for just replacing a rusty wing. The other option is I've found a set of wings from Hz dynamics on eBay for about 700 posted but there could be the same issue as fibreglass fenders with poor fit. Has anyone here know of or fitted any carbon fenders? Currently I'm a bit in a tricky spot as I can't seem to decide what option to go down so I'm hoping to reach out to the 350z community to pull from the well of experience everyone here to help me plan my next move.
