My take on it is no brand considered the consequences of covid, a cost of living crisis, the end of 10+ years of free finance, and consumers not wanting EVs. They were all convinced the gravy train would never end and they all got it completely wrong. How most Chief Execs still hold their jobs is mind boggling.

They're not building anything to make me want to go into their showroom. Its all mumsy pretend SUVs. And expensive. With awful depreciation. And most touch surfaces are flimsy plastic crap. That goes for most manufacturers not just Nissan. But mostly for me its about not having any compelling reason to buy a new car, since covid I now mostly work from home, so I now just have a 20 year old Toyota 4x4 for daily stuff (shopping, tip runs, carting the dogs around) and the Z for a toy. Car designers have forgotten about creating desire, without which my wallet is staying closed.

I see you've already met her then 🤣

If I'm going to spend £10-£12k on a bodykit, paint, and air lift I'm going to need a long run up with the Mrs! 🤣 I can see it costing me a new kitchen...

Cool. I saw this picture at the weekend and now I'm in 😍 😍😍 Doing some thinking... 🤔 Is it the Amuse kit?

Found the answer, air lift gas 5 preset heights

I've never fitted air bags before, with the h height type is it possible to have 3 positions - down, mid /drive, and high? Or is it up/down?

Is it per car or per person (if I have a passenger)?

You could always bolt the bits to the van for the trip through customs 😂

Hire a van and take a trip on a ferry?

That crossed my mind, I was expecting something worth the effort of importing... body panels made from unicorn fur or something

Refuel @ Cullompton, Easter Monday cars and coffee Its £5 to guarantee entry and parking as the paddock fills up quickly on the popular meets I plan on going, if anyone else is interested it would be good to meet / chat Zs

Screw that idea, the guy doesn't do PayPal and won't send me bank account number so I can cash transfer, and I'm not giving out my card number to a total stranger. Guess I'll have to think again, or go with GTR if I can find it in red carbon.

Is it a strip to stop wheel liner squeaks against the body? In any case, you can remove it, clean/paint/seal the wing, then glue it back right?

Thank you, just watched a youtube video, then this popped up on my search: IN STOCK - 2009+ nissan 370z - red carbon automatic fiber oem shifter knob shift knob Bit pricey though @ $280 shipped, although it says they refund $75 for your old shift knob. Wonder if I can get the bottom black gloss bit wrapped in a bit of leather with red stitching so it matches the wheel exactly. Would look epic together.

New steering wheel from Torqen... well I was getting bored 😎 The quality is top class Anyone know if there is a matching shifter? Haven't found one yet

Whats the difference between the Amuse vestito kit, and the fly1 AMS kit, apart from the AMS being half the price? They look very similar.

Some bits for Nismo's..... Car Body Kits, Styling Parts & Accessories - Maxton Design UK Agree prices for everything have got stupid, I had a Burger King for the first time in years today and it cost £10 for a shitty burger and a dozen fries.

My 370 doesn't have a wear sensor. Not sure if any do? Wheel off, get your head into the wheel well, and look into the aperture on the outside of the caliper (where the pads are fitted and removed from) A torch will help. The anti rattle is partly in the way but you can see pad thickness. I guess you could also do it with a small mirror or even a phone camera with the wheel on? But it's only a couple of mins to remove wheel and then remove the pads, it's very simple, so I tend to remove, clean, inspect, and refit or replace pads on my cars annually. JMHO.

That factory wheel is still my favourite, looks awesome almost iconic

Considering there are ~6000 350/370s registered in the UK, its quite an inactive community isn't it

Maxton Design have a face-lift kit, front splitter looks different but sideskirts are similar. They are ABS though, and I like the idea of carbon wings / bonnet, which I think will look good off off pearl white, so a carbon lip kit would work better. Yes a full body kit is the other route, although it's way more work. I might need to mix and match.

That's partly my question really, which brand kits fit well and which to avoid. If I could I'd like to see some fitted, but Z owners down this way seem such a miserable lot there's little chance of that.

I'm toying with the idea of a carbon lip kit to personalise my 2105 370z a bit. Long term I'd like to go with a full body kit, coil overs, wheels & respray but that's a couple of years and many bucks down the line. I would appreciate any members opinions and experiences on fitting, quality, etc?
