    Nismo v2 bumper

    in Wanted

    Posted

    To be honest, that's a huge long shot, especially in your colour code (bearing in mind it won't match anyway) and near London. 

     

    We have the V2 style bumpers listed with the carbon fiber lip (we can get it without as well if you prefer):

    If you ever do decide to go for a brand new one, do feel free to drop me a message. 

    Hi-new member wanting some buying advice!

    Hi everyone. 
    I’ve got my heart set on a 350z roadster and preferably want one no later than a 55 plate for the cheaper tax!

    I’m no mechanic and am aware I’m looking at getting an at least 19 year old car, but want to get the best I can. 

    I’m not very sure on what price I should be paying. 
    I’ve seen a couple of 2005 silver ones on Pistonheads with one at £11495 with 8 owners and one from a ‘350 Z member’  with 3 owners just reduced to £5900. 
    I will search the forum for buying advice as I’m sure you’ve covered this topic many times but would be grateful for some idea of what is a reasonable price for a good one. 
    I’d also be really grateful for advice on service history. 
    I know most advertised say full service history but I’ve yet to find one that’s actually had an annual service which is what I think these cars should have?

    As an example is a 3 year gap ok if  the car has only done a few thousand miles over that period?

    Sorry I’ve asked a few things here. 
    I hope that’s ok. 
    Thanks

    Tim



     


     

     

     

    Personally, I wouldn't care too much about the number of owners, it's a sports car and most change hands pretty fast (people not affording to run them, get bored and other factors). My main concern would be how well it's been looked after, just make sure it's got good service history, check for rust. 

     

    A 3 year gap is a bit much in my opinion, even if the cars been sat there and not driven, I would be looking for something that's been serviced yearly at minimum, more if it's actually driven. 

     

    Whatever you do, do not pay £11495 for a 350z DE, especially a roadster which tend to be slightly cheaper unless it's supercharged or turbo'd which is a different story.

     

    In my opinion £5,000-£8,000 is a good price range to get a decent 350z DE. It's a buyers market at the moment so you might grab yourself a bargain as I suspect not many are selling.

    Hello Guys,

     

    We've got a brand new product released for the 350z. 

     

    For those of you with aftermarket steering wheels, as you know, the cruise control and other steering wheel functions are wiped out. To combat this Frogdrive Japan (our very close friends) have designed a sleek looking carbon fiber switch case which allows you to retain all of the steering wheel functions. 

     

    PREORDERS - 10% discount for orders before 01/03/2024 - Products will be arriving in UK in April 2024. Once ordered, no discounts, no cancellations as these are special order.

    Drivers window strip

    Thanks for your order! 

     

    Yeah, unfortunately on certain parts Nissan just use a random number generator :lol:

     

    To give you an idea, even on the 370z NISMO which is much newer, the little small red vinyl strips on the mirror are around £90 per side.... for a small strip of vinyl! 

    Should I consider the 350z given their age?

    If you want something cheap and cheerful, go for the MX5. The 350z and BMW are going to get expensive in the sense of running costs. Fuel and yearly tax are expensive and parts are wayyyyy easier to get for an MX5 for pretty much peanuts. 

     

    For a cheap daily, the MX5 is your best bet. If you're willing to spend £££ on running costs, the 350z and BMW are good contenders.

     

    You could compromise and get a cheap MX5 to run about in, then a project 350z or bimmer to fix up over a year or two as a little weekend car :teeth:

    Brakes replacement

    in Brakes

    Posted

    If you're looking to replace all of them in one go, you'd be better off going for one of our pack deals as you're saving money compared to adding everything to cart seperately. 

     

    Pricing on brakes for 350z and 370z for some reason has shot up in the last 1-2 years, more so than other parts. 

     

    Pack deals listed here: https://www.torqen.uk/877-pack-deals

     

    If you go over to the second page, there's some DBA discs mixed with either Ferodo or Hawk pads as others have suggested, they're great quality and becoming more affordable than the likes of Stoptech. 

     

    We've also started developing our own brake discs, really good quality and slightly cheaper as we have more control over the pricing. 

     

    Front Discs: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/discs/246118-370z-z34-torqen-anchorz-street-high-performance-brake-discs-front.html

     

    Rear Discs: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/discs/246119-370z-z34-torqen-anchorz-street-high-performance-brake-discs-rear.html

    Which you could pair with any of the pads we sell:

    @ZMANALEX Might be able to help. 

    That being said, I think you mean a 350z HR if it's a 2007 reg. 370z didn't start until 2009. 

     

    If not, you can try some of the breakers on Facebook, Tom Jeffries being one.

    Might be ever so slightly bias but the TORQEN ones are the only ones you should be fitting to your car :lol:

     

    We offer 2 years warranty on the welding and also for rust, not that it's needed since the welding is out of this world. 

     

    They come with extended bungs for the O2 sensors which reduces your chance of the CEL/EML lighting up the dash. 

     

    All bolts, nuts, gaskets etc. are included.

    Feel free to ask if you have anymore questions.
