I am selling my Stealth Carbon fighter steering wheel, D1 quick release kit and NRG wheel hub. I got bored with the carbon look and have gone back to original wheel. All the hardware bolts, wiring ECT us included but nothing boxed. I also have a bracket that will relocate the stereo and cruise control sections. Looking for £400 collected from Manchester or can post.

Im looking into replacing the front banana arms & lower control arms possibly the ball joints as well. As they are not adjustable and i just want standard rubber bushing as poly i think would make the ride to stiff and i want to be comfy. Would the generic parts be ok from ebay, from a trusted seller? Ill be getting adjustable upper control arms for the front and rekon i can do most of it on jacks apart from the ball joints which ill be looking into.

Hi I'm after a 350z HR power steering pump. Been advised my heavy steering is likely to have been caused by a failing pump. Thanks

Nothing too noticeable really. I did this quite soon after getting it so wasn't really used the the feel. The way I looked at it was that it can't really do any harm. I only did it as in my last car there really was an improvement everything just felt smoother.

i know its been a while for this thread but im seriously considering the street basis coilovers rather than new shocks and the tein lowering springs. Any updates to how these have performed? Same sort of situation as in i will not be track just road and after a bit more comfort

i like to bump a really old thread. How are / were these over time? Im thinking of getting these rather than new shocks and the tein lowering springs all round, these are a bit cheaper. im in a similar boat dont track and dont want to sacrifice too much comfort which is important to me. want to go 15-20 mm lower set and forget it.

Any intact or new front part of the front arch liners for sale, both sides? The bit that covers the headlights. Both the bits that hold the tray on have disintegrated. Seen cheap ebay ones but only upto 05. Nissan want £48 each so looking to see if someone can really beat that.

Year old thread bump. Did the DA230 fit properly? I have the 120 and looking to upgrade the the 230 but pioneer specs say a 6.2 inch screen on the 120 but the 230 having a 7 inch screen.

Cheers, really appreciate all the help. I'll be honest, I was not expecting as good a result as I got. There is orange peel but only slightly I've had much worse when painting stuff before and was a scary thought doing it but the way I'm looking at it is. Is it a professional body shop standard - No, probably not even close. Does it look better than it did - Yes definitely all my spots from factory primer or the white undercoat that were showing through have gone the marks and scratches in the bumper after filling are gone and the result is better than expected. Would I do it again - Definitely, considering I was quoted £600 for a bumper and bonnet at a body shop I'm managed to do the bumper for about £30 and a few hours work I have something that hopefully when polished unless really scrutinised will look great, it all ready looks very good just a bit dull.

i got the das6 pro cant believe the price of some of them. Im a weekend warrior at best. ive also sprayed paint and lacquered the front bumper and roof side panels. How long am i best waiting before polishing them? used proper auto colour match paint and 1k lacquer. i know not to wax them for about a month but not sure on polish. Am i best wet sanding with 3000 grit before polishing as well? I was hoping to do the stone chips tomorrow, polish the sprayed panels Friday the do a full polish next weekend to do the bonnet and rest of the car to get all the chips polished out..

Cheers guys. I've machined polished before but realised my technique was poor, after watching a lot of videos, i was going too quick and not doing enough passes, with poor pads as well. Ive learnt my lesson, as punishment i think ill have to invest in a new polisher.

@ilogikal1 Have another quick question for you. I decided to repair the stone chips and have done all the prep just waiting on the paint, i sanded the chips with 3000 grit paper to get them ready and when painted and cleared will wet sand again with 3000 grit to level off. From what ive read i need a medium cut polish to best get the scratches out, ive not bought the scholl polish yet, will the S20 and the tangerine pad be able to get these sanding marks out? or is there a better option? im already set on doing a 2 stage with the s20 & s30 and Ill be using my Argos xtreme da with a 5" plate unless either a das 6 v2 or pro would be that much better.

How are people finding the excide batteries? Mine needs replacing, its this or the Bosch S5? Worth the extra £20 for the bosch

Will do thanks, im going to check and clean at weekend see if that resolves the problem.

Massive thread bump, i think my sensor has gone, how has this lasted? Nissan have quoted £130 for a new one
