Good Morning Everyone,

I've been having a mare with my passenger door and was wondering if anyone here could help.

A couple of months ago the passenger door stopped opening every now and then. 1 week it would open the next week it wouldn't. 

Recently I would try and open the door and nothing would happen but then driving a long I would hit a bump and the door would slightly open and start rattling. I took it to the garage and they spent hours trying to get it open with no luck. They are saying they need to cut the door card out to fix but through I would check here before going down that route. 

I've added a link to a video showing what happens when it slightly opens.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it is currently doing my nut in. 

Thanks! 

I have very unfortunately kurbed one of my bronze work wheels. 
 

looking for recommendations of places to take it, just a bit precautious as they are bronze. 
 

I have messaged BJV engineering but he’s a bit far from me.

cheers in advance 

Saw another san marino blue 350z in Didcot today, pretty sure number plate started e9...

Wondering if its anyone on here?

Cheers mate appreciate it!

After reading a couple of threads I assume this is down to a sticky handbrake? Along with cold and wet weather and not being used for a couple days I assume the clunk is just the brakes setting free?

Had a bit of an odd problem this morning. Its worth noting the car had not been driven since Sunday.

Put the car in gear and released the handbrake, the clutch bit and car wanted to move but was stuck like the handbrake was on.

Tried reverse had the same issue.

Gave it a bit more revs and after a couple of odd clicking/clunking noises it moved and was absolutely fine. Anyone know what this could be?

Car is an 07 HR

Anyone got any recommendations for a Y pipe to go with dual or single exit tomei?

Thanks

Don't see many dark blue Zeds on here.

In fact I've never seen one in the flesh.

Looks well tasty now though

Thanks man, found out when we sprayed the front bumper that the whole car has actually been resprayed to Nissan Midnight Blue and is not San Marino Blue!

New Work Wheels are on

Evening all! 

After getting the car back in February I started doing some mods about 3 months ago and I am finally happy with it to start taking posting some pictures. 

So today my new Work Kiwami wheels went on. I have also added a rear diffuser and spats from Tarmac Sportz. Also had the front bumper smoothed. 

Me and a mate did a photoshoot this evening so will have some awesome pictures to show soon. Give him a follow on instagram and a message if you want any pictures taken in the south Oxford/Berks area. @rearviewfocus

Parts that are in the shed waiting to go on are; 

30mm lowering springs with camber arms

Poly front lip that needs sparying, opinions on colour matching or going with black?

You can always use gorilla  tape but wouldn’t trust it on that thin piece, you could always measure a bit of plastic the exact size you want, screw it into the grille then use proper number plate tape to fix the plate to the plastic? 

Now that is a good shout! thank you very much sir

Evening, I am looking at getting my front bumper smoothes including the spoilers and mounting the plate on the grille like the below picture. 

Anyone got any idea on the best way to do this? 

Does the grill fit a 07 facelift mate?

Will depend on the wheel offset, you'll have issues with anything lower than et18 I would imagine. Fronts shouldn't cause an issue as the arches are rolled from factory.

Cool mine are 22 and 25 so should be okay! Any experience driving that low? I Be honest is it @*!#?

Just about to buy some Vogtland 30mm lowering springs and wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of some decent rear camber arm, toe bolts and lockout kits.  I can only find the tarmac sportz one at the minute. 

Also what are people opinions on 30mm springs with 19" wheels? Any rubbing with 245/35 and 265/35 tyres? 

On the way home from a night out and saw a silver 350z on the way to oxford from Wallingford. 
 

Wondering if they are on here?

I insured mine at 20 with 3 years no claim and mods declared with Admiral for £1400 which I didn't think was that bad considering I didn't even think I would get insured!

Would you sell the decats?

Yeah they're legal provide they've got the postcode of the manufacturer and the BS stuff on ...

 

Even in Grey?

Plates on! Enjoyed my first drive since being freshly detailed, missed driving it so much!

Decided to use heavy duty Velcro for the front plate, cut circles out to match the two big holes in the front bumper, looks alright!

 

Where did you get this plate? Are they legal for road use? Awesome looking car btw!

Evening, 

I want to get rid of the horrible standard front number plate holder and get some JDM style plates on there. 
 

What’s the best way to do this? JDM mount bracket? Or just just get rid of it and put some double sided sticky pads on the plate?

I'm after some decent lug nuts in the above if anyone has any they would like to part ways with before I buy new.
