  1. You are not the first: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=57477&hilit=exhaust+repair All depends upon the severity of the failure as to welding or whether you would prefer a new exhaust (recommended if the ££££'s allow) But don't buy new from Nissan (unless you have money to burn - in which case I'll have some for my BBQ ) Plenty of traders on here can provide better systems at far cheaper prices
  2. In the meantime have a look here as to what he can put right and what, er.................... is a little more challenging viewtopic.php?f=38&t=60558&p=890317#p890317
  3. A bit odd with 2 doors on the near side and 1 door on the off side But then again - dress it up a bit

    This is the suggested 'midnight blue' being used
  14. Great race by Lewis and Mclaren Must be the first Canadian GP without a safety car period, although Schui must be wondering when he will finish a race.
  15. Post on 'for sale' threads have to be approved by the mods before they appear - and I was just having my lunch
  16. Are you using the syncro-rev? If not try it, and remember it works on upshifts as well as downshifts. I've never had "terrible crunch" though in the two and half years and 17k miles I have have driven my 370
  17. Sounds like a holiday for us mods then ..........or, Er................ perhaps not as another of spate tyre wars break out More seriously, op sounds positive news - no gain without pain as they say. Lets hope for the future that something you have suffered for some time is now history
  18. Thread locked as wheels sold
  19. er, has beb spent too many nights in the discos and lost his hearing - the brakes must have made an awful racket
  20. The incredible hulk is reborn Well, lets face it it is a ZED on steriods both on and under the skin
  21. Oi just noticed that was my pic I will let you off as it still makes I laugh!!! Its getting difficult finding a pic from the tinternet that you haven't previously posted
  22. Interesting what you say Jables about your experience as I had my suspicions about the re-surface and noticing the recent 'off' tyre marks at the corner and posted up to that effect given it was a hot day with increasing useage the thought that oils were seeping to the surface was a factor. But then edited it when the delamination + tyre size issue was coming to the fore that semed to be more relevant, but we might never know to be sure............... viewtopic.php?f=18&t=62278&p=894974#p894974
  23. Hi Mark I had a similar symptom once when the car was about about 6 months old (4k miles). Thought I would do a drag start but in my case when I floored the loud pedal it stuck down as I released the clutch which seemed to have the effect of drastic clutch slip and no forward momentum resulting in the usual burning smell you get from an over-worked clutch. I recall I immediately 'released' the loud pedal with toe-hooking as the poor of 370 was banging away on the rev-limiter for just a few seconds, but whether in hindsight it had stuck down or that was my perception I don't know For a few miles afterwards the clutch was obviously a bit hot, but when it had cooled down it was fine and I have never had the problem since with 17k miles on the clock. At the time I wondered if it was something to do with the accelerator sticking - if you go and press yours fully down you will feel a click. I thought there was something amiss but I subsequently learnt the 'click' is to do with the cruise function - i.e. if you decide to floor it when in cruise that 'click' will trip it out of cruise mode. But given what Neilp says "My 350z does that. It's the initial torque peak that the clutch cant cope with. If it did engage it would probably destroy the clutch plate" I kinda wonder if that is what happened to me and it was nothing to do with the accelerator The fact I have had nothing further happen in that department to sound warning bells makes me think my slave/master cylinders and clutch fluid level were/are not the issue, but then again perhaps my 'issue' was different Be interested to hear what your dealer says though
