I have PS4S's on my Nismo and they were definately worth the investment over the original Dunlops (hideous tyre that tramlined on everything), its a totally different car and showing minimal wear on the tyres after 10k, well worth spending more per corner. On my old banger 350 I use Falken FK's (from FK501 through to whatever they are now), I rarely get 10k out of the rears but they provide decent grip.

Hi Guys, I stupidly left my 2003 350z sat for a few months while I've been out enjoying my 370z Nismo.... but now I cant get in the bloody thing. Despite starting it every couple of days and leaving it running for half hour the battery is now dead and despite copious amounts of WD40 in the door lock I can't get it to turn. I tried an auto locksmith but he has said they're notoriously hard to get into and couldn't guarantee access. Next step is probably to try to find someone to help get some power to the starter motor so I can use the remote fob or a brick! Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks Mike

Awesome thanks Alex

Hi Alex, Any chance you have a wing mirror door card switch for an 03 DE? Type with the mirror adjuster and the mirror close button? Thanks Mike

Hi All, After a few bits to sort my aging Zed (2003 DE engined). Steering rack, must be leak and play free. Bank 1. Drivers, O/side Catalytic convertor. I’m throwing P0420 (not sensors) in good working order, low milleage a plus. Cheers Mike

Had mine 10 years, not a first car... But I’’ve helped these stats, been rear ended twice, both at low speed in traffic

136k on my 03. Timing chain rattle started at about 115k and needed doing (it was stretched and under no tension by time it was replaced). One cat needs replacing, my fault for running it with slack chain i think. Rusty Rear anti roll bar and leaking Steering rack advisory in last MOT. The next jobs....

Cheers Guys you've echoed my thoughts exactly. Good to know about grommet/ inspection hole. I might go for a new clutch and fly anyway and get it all done at once. The bite is getting a little high and the clatter on shut off is annoying. Will put back buying a decent everyday runner another few months though Ewen I'll give you guys a shout once I hear back from Nissan

'000's Quite a common fault then Seriously though I've been searching for days Alex. All say the same (As with any hydraulic clutch), it'll either need a bleed, new fluid or Slave/Master cylinder and hose need changing which I've communicated to Nissan but they are saying different. Main question is "Is it possible to diagnose a broken clutch arm without GB being taken off? " The cars an old late 03 DE done 104,000 mixed mileage.

Hi Guys, A little advice needed please guys My clutch pedal dropped to the floor the other day. Changing up from 5th to 6th the pedal dropped leaving me in neutral at ahem* motorway speeds. Pedal is on the floor but can be pulled up easily and only goes back when you push it but doesnt engage the clutch. My local Nissan stealers reckon its a GB off job, needing a new clutch arm- which they say has broken, clutch kit and fly @ £3.5k- but happy if I supply parts. That seems a bit extreme, current clutch has done 60k I'd have thought either the slave/ master cylinder has gone (Has been a little leakage recently from behind front passenger wheel which I put down to excessive AC use). Is it possible to diagnose the arm issue without GB being taken off? is it worth swapping out the cylinders/ hose just in case? I do get a little diesel style clatter on shut off so thinking clutch could do with a swap out at some point soon anyway. I do a mix of motorway and city miles (With city miles in traffic) so guess I'll stick with a DM Fly. Any advice greatly appreciated! Cheers Mike

Hi all After a year of random misfires (now fixed) my cats are ruined. So looking for a pair of low milleage std cats or hfc's. I drive 100 miles a day so don't want anything too noisey though (despite knowing id love it). Cheers Mike

Cheers for the welcome all! Post this on another forum thought I'd add it here to. Car was in today for its P3 service Clutch (Fair enough knew that one was coming as the clutch is very heavy) does £677 sounds reasonable? Rear Pads 98% worn £275!!!! Hmmm I think I'll be going elsewhere.... Any recommendations on aftermarket pads? Front pads in 6000 miles See above!! Aircon service- That can wait Rear tyres down to 3 mil - Looks like I'll be joining the ranks of Falken 452's!! Anti roll bar linkages? £52 each fitted?? Anyone know whats thats all about? Just need to sell my old car or a kidney or something to pay for it all!! Mike looks like I'll be going the after market route alot sooner then planned....

Hi all I'm a fairly new Zed owner having had mine all of 2 weeks tomorrow. Shes in for its P3 tomorrow so fingers crossed all is well. Shes a late 2003 53 plate GM GT with Alazan leather and forged Rays. Not a bad mover but think a new clutch will be needed soon as the pedal is a little high And here she is (ignore the plate, this pic was stolen from the seller) Its actually got a nice private plate on it ending 3SOZ Cheers Mike
