I think that may well be a good shout - do you think fabrication is feasible? Cant get schematics of moving parts i believe - If i dont have the missing parts then i see a problem - i even thought if i could get a replacement roof and get missing parts 3D printed from scanning the donor but maybe i am over thinking....?

I am in South Wales. I have been in touch with Torqen, who kindly contacted more through thios forum and who are based in Luton but individual parts are not supplied by Nissan therefore whole roof would be required and the price from Nissan was around £12k just for the roof itself - and that's without fitting costs on top. Will look into Carhood Warehouse and I think it is Hoodtech in Chester. Thanks

Hot sure if correct section of the forum but I am now convinced that my only option to get my 2011 370Z Roadster roof working is to replace the roof itself. The pivot asembly on both sides is "mangled" and parts of the metal lift assenbly have broken off. I have the detailed guide on removing the softop etc so don't think it is too much of a diffficult task if i can source a replacement. Anyone know of one for sale anywhere?

Justr sent thanks

I have now managed to get a little further with my roof problem. I have accessed the mechanical section on the car roof and find that the pivot assembly bracket has snapped and the drag link mechanism has been compressed so the pin cannot follow the 8.5-10mm channel that it should. This has bent the pivot mechanism on the passenger side also. Anyone had any experience of this and can suggest repair options or anyone know how i could get replacement parts for these. Many thanks.

I have a roof not working issue on my 370Z convertible. I have managed to get my mechanic to plug in his diagnostic and obtain a report. The following is the report output. Does anyone have any experience of dealing with/investigating/solving the convertible roof fault messages that it has produced. Thnaks for any help/assistance.

pretty much - agree makes sense to not create hassle Thanks

£30k on new car - didnt think £8k was overly bad for part X - I paid £12k two years ago so taking retail at £12k and trade at £8k over 2 years seemed as expected. Was thinking along the lines if worth £9k as private sale and get £500-1000 off new one then might be worth it.

Garage have offered me £8k part X

I am in the process of purchasing a different vehicle and have been offered a part ex price for my 2010 370z. Before I accept the part ex price, are there any good places to advertise her? I can't do it on here as I have not posted enough questions to qualify for posting a for sale post. If not, I'll just take the part ex price but it would be nice if she went to someone who would really appreciate her.

OK Thanks Alex - appreciate all your help. Regards Paul

Hi Alex My garage has removed the damaged pipe. I have attached the pictures of it. You will see from the pictures that it is bolted on to the compressor and the other end is push fit and links to the pipe coloured blue in the diagram schematic you sent me. The push fit end represents the upper "tail" in the diagram. Any thoughts? Regards Paul

Hi and welcome to a fellow South Wales member

I am looking to replace a damaged air con pipe on my 2010 370Z roadster. It is the top pipe of the two tails that are on the condenser. Nissan say they only supply this pipe if i buy a new condenser as they supply it with it. Cost £680 !!! The original problem was with the condenser itself so i purchased a Mishimoto upgrade replacement. Then found that the pipe i refer to above needs replacing. The company that supplied the upgrade condenser dont supply pipework for air con. I have contacted a few breakers on ebay to see whether they can supply. Anyone know whether i can get this kind of thing other than from Nissan or whether there are companies out there who specifically "make" air con pipes. Any help much appreciated.

Great thanks - will look into it.
