Looks in good nick, as long as your happy and you enjoy the car then that's all that matters

Where did you get the smoked repeaters?

Spotted you earlier by the bag of nails by the lights. Car looks awesome in person. Envious of those rims!!

@cob1980 has a set for sale if you are looking to replace.

Good luck with the sale! Got anything else in mind?

When looking for an oem bootmat I started messaging sellers that were selling/breaking zeds, a lot of them had stock tha lt just wasn't listed. Worth a try. Got a hardly used boot mat for 20

So envious of the 'up skirt'...... Looks brand new under there

How did you swap it? I struggle to remove mine, where did you get a replacement?

Could be completely off track here but the only time my sensors went mad, I had water pooling in the boot and it was coming in via the rear quarter panel air filter things. So.... Any water in the boot?

To put a nail in this coffin, my lights are now working fully. The auto spark noted it was strange for both ballasts to go but didn't have a root cause bar age. What was annoying though is i'd asked them to change the passenger bulbs (Xenon and sidelight) but they didn't so had one bright side and one dull side. Changed them myself yesterday, had a little scare where the Side light bulb came off when trying to pull it out and stayed inside the housing, Cue about 30 minutes with a wire noose and thin pliers trying to get it back out. But all is well that ends well. Luckily for me as i got caught in the Severn bridge jam yesterday (spotted my car on a news report) and was stuck there for hours. Would have been in trouble if they were still not working!

Could try contacting Nissan and running the VIN past them? Do you have the original paperwork available?

Little update - it's the ballasts. (both apparently) Didn't have time or skill to do it myself so took it to an auto electrician who diagnosed. Ordered OEM replacements from HIDS-direct - should be here tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll be able to drive in the dark over the weekend!

unless the previous owner is a member of the forum and can give you a full owner history (it's not me btw)

I usually take mine to Simon in Nisstec but its in Swansea. Lockdown will bugger that plan

Where in South Wales are you?

I've not no. How easy is it to disconnect the ballast etc? Is that a bumper off job?

Bump, anyone have any other suggestions?

It needed changing anyway so all good there. I was hopeful of a quick easy solution with the battery. I've not but it'll be the next thing I check. Cheers Mike

little update: Had my battery tested - reader came up that it was only giving out 375 so ordered a Bosch S4 026 - Replaced the battery - still no main beam Took the drivers side wheel off, went in through the arch, changed the side light - nice and simple, checked the ballast/connecter, seemed in tip tip condition, no moisture, no dirt, it looked like new. Took the bulb out, looked used obviously but no real signs of damage, replaced with a new 600K bulb. switched the lights on and.... nothing. (side light worked fine). Have a work thing so only had time to do the one side so far. Anyone have any other thoughts on what could be the issue. Relays changed Battery changed Bulb Changed What's next? In terms of parts, what should i be looking for in ballasts and igniters? Could it be something as simple as a fuse? (novice when it comes to auto-electrics so wouldn't know what to check to be honest).

Me again, not had a lot of time to do anything about this yet however I noticed one on my number plate led lights was dimmer than the other, had two spare so swapped them out. Checked the headlights 'just in case' and drivers side came on, I flicked it on and off a few times before the other one came in then both went out. Do you think this could this be a battery issue as marzman said above? Everything else works as it should, tail, indicators, interior LEDs, wipers, dials etc Currently delayed in moving house due to the chain so don't have ready access to any equipment as it's all packed so was thinking of possibly just taking the plunge on a new battery and hoping it's that.

Welcome, love the colour, almost like a petrol blue

Quick q on removing the wheel to access the arch liner etc, is it relatively safe on a flat surface to use the spare wheel jack? As long as I don't go under the car (not that there is a need to) it 'should' be fine right Where is the best place to jack the car if doing one side at a time?

Mines the same, I have the aircon running everytime I use the Z. Always a little damp patch after I've parked up for a while
