Of course I need one

Slightly concerned it might be too loud though.

Dammit..... why couldn't this have been a full 370z exhaust

Am def up for this. Just can't do this weekend lol....

What if we all turned up at your doorstep?

You can use a clay bar, but you need A LOT of lube because otherwise it can mark the wrap and that's one mark you may not be able to remove ever. No reason not to though, I've clayed mine once with the AS clay cloth and it worked a treat.

 

You need to know what you're doing with the ceramic stuff, as it's easy to get it wrong and wreck everything. On paint you can at least polish it off and try again, with wraps you're a bit knackered if you get it wrong. Needs to be done indoors and on a cool-ish (i.e. not freezing but not like an oven) day. Probably best left to the pros if you're not confident, I've done a couple now on paint and it's been fine but I have been nearly caught out a couple of times, and there was a panic to correct in time!

Could probably manage something on Sunday. You fancy a general meet up or road trip? Then we'd need 2 locations

Kyle sort it out. It's sunny here for once

Sorry I can't help and kind of thread jumping, but what kind of price would someone pay to get this done?? I.e cleaning abit of surface rust and undersealing the whole car?? £300ish??

Really depends on how much rust. You're paying for someone's time so that could vary from the initial estimate if it turns out to be more involved than first assumed. My mechanic loves a bit of wax oiling. At least thats what i tell him since he always recommends getting it done. However I can never get a quote up front out of him. £300ish sounds like a reasonable ballpark figure for minor surface rust but i'd have contingency budget just in case.

Welcome to the fun

Interesting that it has the newer wheels on it.

Previous owner had it done so I've no idea what the cost was unfortunately

Check out my shapely rear with sensors

As far as I'm aware the reversing sensors are a dealer fit option. Only the camera comes from factory. Mine has them but I've no idea if they are Nissan or after market

No great loss. I might go for a satin black finish instead

I've only found out to my horror that the previous owner of my car had refurbed my Mk2 Nismo alloys twice. The finish on the diamond cut lips is corroding after 12 months and the place that did them pretty much admitted they'll always go that way. I don't know what they do different to the manufacturer as the one orignal wheel is still fine. Needless to say i'll probably get them done in one colour when the time comes rather than go diamond cut again.

Thanks once again to Adrian for the extra horsepower from the GT-R start button. You can really feel it

Great service from Adrian, was very helpful with my enquiries. Just need to the fit the damn illuminated kick plates now

at least I have all my manuals

 

Clearly they need to add number 7 to the owners manual as something that requires special care

how long did it take you to find that

find or edit it?

Hey Stu.

 

That image you posted is exactly what I have in my Mk2 Nis. Those booklets inside the material sleeve. It fits perfectly in the compartment behind the driver seat.

Thank you sir

at least I have all my manuals

Clearly they need to add number 7 to the owners manual as something that requires special care

I definitely don't have it. I think the correct place for it is behind the passenger seat which has a little section that folds out

So the previous owner of my car cannot find the owners manual and the Nissan garage I bought the car from are dragging their heels on getting me a replacement. I'm guessing they'll only send me the Owners Manual and Service Book. My old 350z had a protective (leather?) wallet.

I just wanted to check what a new Mk 2 Nismo should come with. What should i have??

Had a quick search on google but figured i'd get a more conclusive answer here

Haven't had the opportunity to remove them yet since I no longer have a jack. For some reason the can of tyre foam doesn't lift the car

I wonder if any of the press cars ever had these left on when they were reviewed.......

No wonder there are so many 1 year old Nismo's up for sale, everyone thinks they handle like @*!#

 

 

Having said that, I though Stu's felt great from the passenger seat

You didn't see the white knuckles

guess what I found?

 

No way! After 3 years!

I don't feel so bad now
