    Type 7 Body Kit

    in Member Traders

    Posted

    I'm in Brentwood - between Brentwood and Chipping Ongar, A128. No-one has this kit in the UK yet!

    I have an imminent shipment of other parts from this supplier - give me a call to discuss and see if we can add a kit to the order...

    Pay a visit to our newly revamped On-Line Shopping experience at:

     

    http://www.mjpshop.co.uk

     

    As a little incentive, we're running a raffle:

     

    Enter a promotional raffle to win a ride in the Big Block Chevrolet powered 280ZX driven by Mark Watkins! Mark has fitted a passenger seat to RatZ for the 2007 season and is just itching to scare the hell out of you with a wild ride down the quarter mile strip at Santa Pod!

     

    Experience the thrill of the static burn-out! Feel the force of 700+ horsepower as RatZ leaps off the line to 60 mph is under two seconds! Through the traps at the top end in excess of 140 mph! All in only a quarter of a mile!

     

    All proceeds after nominal expenses will go to Mark as sponsorship for the 2007 season. MJP already sponsor Mark and the MJP decals will be seen on the car. RatZ was owned and campaigned previously by Mike Feeney, proprietor of MJP (Eastern Auto).

    Three weeks would indicate that the part may have to come from Japan, i.e. no UK stock and no European stock. Nissan levels on some key parts is often low, but hopefully they'll get the message when more things start going wrong... :dry:

    Wheel Bearings

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    In some mitigation, Nissan have a similar design with the Z32 rear bearing - you have to buy part of the hub assembly with the bearing installed. The recommendation is that you should replace the wheel carrying part of the hub also - most owners don't. However, if you let the bearing continue to grumble you end up with a situation where this is essential anyway, more than doubling the cost of the exercise. With the Z33 it would seem that Nissan are trying to avoid a possible complaint process whereby you replace the bearing and then part way through its life have to replace it again because the wheel carrying part fails and takes the new bearing with it...

    Stillen shifter is a version of the Nismo adjustable - price approx. £195 depending on whether I'm shipping loads or little...up to 20% off on a big shipment. They still rattle a bit BTW!

    Wheel Bearings

    Reference the Ebay links above - front wheel bearings are in common through the Z range up to the last of the Z31 300ZX in 1989, after that the design changes completely. The 350Z is no exception and the bearing comes in a hub assembly which includes the wheel mounting flange and new wheel studs - hence the expense.

    The second link is for a secondhand part and postage is another $90 on top of the price - thus £95 for a used part and the possibility of duty, VAT and clearing fees on top of that...

    I have a pair of 40202-AL510 bearings in stock. Our discount price would normally be £162.19 + VAT (15% off dealer retail). However, for anyone in immediate trouble with this part, I can offer forum members (get a discount code) an additional 20% off our retail on this pair only (i.e. while current stock lasts), making them £129.75 + VAT per side. The part number would appear to be good for JDM also...

     

    For reference, MJP offer a sliding scale of discount (depends on what Nissan give their dealers) on all Nissan OEM parts and can readily check and source JDM parts and assess differences...

    Most of them seem to rattle either a bit or, in the cheaper eBay versions, a lot. I have a Stillen adjustable version - four positions from -40% to +20% compared to stock - quickly changed with car at rest, no dismantling.
