  4. Oh Yeah! I can hear you say even up here in Newcastle, but I did actually figure this out while watching some crap film on TV last night. As you have all guessed (long before me) the ty-wrap had to be on the inside So this morning I did the deed and it worked beautifully and I’m well pleased. So much so I’ve been trying the rest of the day to get photos off my old phone onto the pc so I can post them but without success. My daughter will home soon so I’ll see if she can sort me out. Edit: This is the one I bought (cheap but looks good, if you like that sort of thing) Now for the handbrake. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHROME-BLACK- ... 3a6c649356 Thanks for all your input lads
  5. Thats what Ive done but it looks NAFF. Time for some lateral thinking
  6. OOOPS must have pressed quote instead of edit
  7. Assuming you have transport of course
  8. As the others have said also Lake Taho is worth a visit, its not to far and well worth a look.
  9. How did you finish off the leather gaiter at the bottom of the gear knob? Just fitted mine from ebay but it doesn’t provide any means of securing the gaiter to the base of the knob. It seems the gaiter is supposed to stand up on its own accord (which it doesn’t). Pushing the gear lever forward exposes the gear lever shaft. Had to hold it in position with a black ty-wrap which aint very pretty. Not much good with the old computer but will try to post pictures later so people can learn from my mistake. It wasn’t expensive (and that’s probably the problem) but I think it looks good, just a pity they couldn’t have designed it better.
  10. Anyone know where I can get a drivers side wiper arm. The plastic aero deflector bit on mine has broken off. I’d need to win the lottery to afford one from the stealers
  11. Visited a local company who make st st exhaust systems. There a well recognised company in the area and have been trading for 10yrs or so. They build exhausts for many exotic cars and the guy who owns the garage and who seemed very knowledgeable told me that decats and high flow cats are now illegal with heavy fines attached (cant recall if the fines were on the owner or the installer) anyone else heard of this?

    New handbrake

    PS: A couple of questions: Does the button on the end of the new cover push onto the button on the old handbrake o release it and does the new assembly feel solid when you apply the brake or does it feel as if it moves slightly.

    New handbrake

    Looking to do the same mod myself and did a search for a guide showing how to do it. Found a post by" andyzed" on July19 2009http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=25166&hilit=handbrake+lever+mod but none of the .jpg pictures are avialable to me. Do they get dumped after a period of time or is my computer having a bad day? Hope that link works as it doesnt look like other links Ive seen. Got no idea how to post a link, just right clicked and copied link.

    Powerflow or not

    Well Lexx young man went down to AAS as you suggested and your right Stuart is a fine and knowledgeable guy who has carried out far more complex work, so the old Z is well within his capabilities . He said he could tune it to be as loud or quite as I wanted and would carry out corrective actions should I not be satisfied with the end result. He hand makes the complete system even the back box (Powerflow use an off the shelf box) and will design it to suit your requirements. I will definitely use them when my exhaust gets near its end, which shouldn’t be to long now as its been on nearly 8 yrs now. In fact I may even get it done early. He quoted £500 for Y pipe, centre section and back box, cant be bad Ah, and another good point is, his workshop’s just at the bottom of my estate PS Stuart didn’t rate the powerflow system at all (laughed when I said my feedback on them had been poor) he said he wasn’t surprised . I’d expect him to say that but he did seem to know what he was talking about.
