looks good, just need some silver indicators in the headlights to get rid of the fried eggs

as others have said, halfrauds is ok for little touch ups. my best recommendation is actually to use www.paints4u.com they have the best paints available in the best cans, they have special nozzles for better spraying, less chance of drip etc. and there color match on my old metallic blue MR" roadster was almost spot on. but you will pay more, there cans are about £12 a piece. if not more. but the quality is there.

like i said earlier would be interested in taking it off your hands if the price is right, am happy to pay you and wait for you to get your spacer before sending it out. just depends on what you want for it.

i might be interested in the plenum, but i have nothing to swap it with

PIAA are awesome, and when used with rain x or similar i can drive at motor way speeds in monsoon type rain without having to use my wipers, the water just beads off. to be honest it does it at anything of about 40 mph or higher. i'd also be interested in a replacement rubber for the drivers side, mine got damaged in the winter when i switched it on by accident with a frosty screen, i can tell there is minor blade damage as i have a tiny mist patch in the middle when i clear the screen

most people mod the car for noise only. i run a Typhoon CAI and an invidia True Dual Exhaust (they are for the noise) = if bought form new that would set you back about £1200 at some point i plan to change the plenum or add a spacer and maybe sports cats = easily another £700 so already pushing £2000 there is also a possibility for re flashing the ECU, but nothing has been seen in the UK as yet and we are all watching a thread on it at the moment (search for RStuning) might see a cost of around £500 so that would see me spend easily £2500 to get 24 bhp if I'm lucky and if i was already on 276 bhp to start with that works out at a cost of around £104 for every horse you gain. i don't know if i'll got hat far, I'm quite happy with the setup i have, some of the changes i have planned are partly aesthetic. ... as a comparison if you went supercharger route, i think the out lay is around £10,000 to do it properly, might be less, but definitely over £5000, so best case scenario i'll take the middle figure £7500 and it should see you to around 400 bhp so a gain of around 124 bhp at a cost of around £60.48 for every BHP gained. theoretically supercharging is cheaper and would give more power and torque, but the outlay is big, how ever you look at it. hope that helps

i've just got some ballasts and igniters to replace the damaged ones i have, i got them in the states, will this affect them, as i'm not sure which bits your plugging or unplugging. i'm fairly certain the bit i have only controls the current to the HIDs i don't think it affects the self levellers.

i would have waited on fitting, it was so much easier cleaning mine up when it was off the car, took alot of elbow grease, you might find it alot harder on the car, or only do the bits you can see.

Why 300? If you really want an easy 300bhp, just sell yours and buy an '06 or GT4 Wheres the fun in that? + if i had the money to buy an 06 model....i would of the money you'll spend getting it there, you might as well have saved up and got an 06

i have the same problem with the invidia, they both very similar exhausts

also how do i run a poll on this thread to find out how many people have had/do have/don't have a clicking axle problem. when i was with the new civic honda club, they were well linked with honda uk and regularly ran consumer surveys etc on the cars for honda and gave them feedback, we even used to get honda posts or memos commenting on any issues we had picked up, and what if anything they planned to do.

is that the UK figures i'm guessing not the amount on the forum so how many do we have on the forum out of interest, and whats the likelihood of linking the other forum to it as the more we have the better, or even if someone wants to run a mirror thread on the other site to save hassle and posting issues.

i'd be up for it.

there can't be that many 350z's in the country, they are no where near as common as the TT, i don't know how many members we have on here, but i'd be interested to know of the amount of people on here who has suffered from rear clicking syndrome. if i have all the numbers i could work out a national average.

i know what you mean, but while the cost of sending an email and a stamp are inexpensive i thought i would be a nusanse to nissan for a bit, probably won't get very far, but i don't like being treated like i'm stupid or insignificant. and nissan have done both. they tried to fob me off with it not being their fault and they have tried to make me feel insignificant by basically saying we're big, we say no,m there is nothing you can do. at the end of the day, i have a re grease kit on stand by with ZmanAlex but i just wanted to see how far i could push this. i wouldn't expect a nissan mechanic to openly condemn their own employer its the old biting the hand that feeds you situation. but maybe they could quitely pm me details or confidential memos

all good and valid points and i completely agree, but the lady at the centre said that nissan, as will other manufacturers disregard anything to do with forums as they say "it could be written by anyone" they have said they can recommend a suitable centre to check the part over to make a diagnosis on the part and give a definitive answer on if the part is faulty at manufacture. but I'm dubious about paying someone to tell me something i already know with out the guarantee that nissan will pay up at the end of it. do we have any nissan mechanics who post on here?

thats good but doesn't point towards a failed part at manufacture, just what needs to be replaced depending on the location of the noise

whats a TSB i'm guessing its not a bank related thing

i've got the invidia true dual which is similar, i haven't noticed any power loss. paid £200 for mine and spent another £160 having a new flexi-joint welded in as the old one had snapped. my main problem was finding somewhere to tig weld it. as not many garages actually do it.

As some of you may be aware i've suffered the clicking axle problem to give you the short version:- it basically happened during warranty, but was only picked up 3 weeks outside of my warranty. i've emailed twice, phoned 6 times and written 1 letter to Nissan GB, but basically their final word on the matter was " you bought from a third party, it was serviced before i bought it by a third party so i'm not classed as a loyal nissan customer and therefore I'm not eligible for nissan good will gestures" well this has kind of wound me up as i'm fairly certain that the clicking axle problem is a fault at manufacture thats why they brought out the revised parts and they even know which factory the fault came from depending on if tits the bolts or the CV joint. well nissan in their last letter said if i'm not happy to take it up with the motor industry code of conduct (kind of like ofcom for the motor world) i've decided that i don't like being fobbed off and that it is there problem to fix. if it was a ware and tear issue i would understand and replace myself but this isn't. so i rang them up, and they said that if i could provide proof that it was a fault at manufacture they might be able to follow up on it and sort something out. so what i'm looking for is do we have any proof? can a nissan mechanic write a statement, provide a memo, something that would give me solid evidence of an issue at manufacture. also anyone else who might be suffering a similar problem to add names and we could send several in at the same time to kind of reinforce the fact that it should be done at nissan cost, not customer cost. vive la revolution!!! r at least a final conclusion to the issue as there is no where else to take it after this

did it happen when it was raining or just after wet weather. if so then my guess is defo the ballast and igniters. seems to be when they play up.

ouch thats alot of money for the dunlops, could have got 4 vredestein ultrac ssantas for £500. might be able to find another dunlop tyre which is similar. but to be honest same rubber all round should fix it. best bet for a cheap fix is the falken 452's they are a good midrange tyre and you'll only notice the difference if yor taking the car on track. might even be able to sell the rear dunlops on ebay to recoup some of your cash

just been trawling a list of films and found the other answers
