Then why does anyone bother getting it set if its only going to change again? The idea is to slacken the adjustment bolts off, adjust it to what you want, then tighten them back up again, the only way the numbers will change is if the toe/camber/caster adjustment hasnt been tightened back up. Laser alignment is done with the car and wheels on the floor so the figures are what are going to see once you drive off, isnt it? I definitely agree with the second part though, thats like a Kebab house not using pitta bread or elephant leg. Of course you will get slightly different readings as there is so much flex in the suspension mountings that you will never get the same readings twice. The differences will be minimum however a difference none the less. Alex

If you set up the geometry and drive the car round the block and stick it back on the ramp and recheck the numbers there will be a fair chance that the numbers will be different. Think about it Also if a garage does not know to clamp the steering wheel in the straight ahead position, then I would not trust them with my alignment. Alex

Nice one Loen I should be able to help you with a replacement headlamp. The ballast may also be damaged due to ingress of water. Most common reason for this type of failure is peeps running without the inner front wheel arch liner. Liners and fixings also in stock if required. Drop me a PM if I can help you further Alex

Tein work well I have them in stock and good to go same/next day. I have Tein fitted to my track 350Z Roadster. Alex.

GLWTS Craig A truly stunning example of a very well cared for 350Z. Alex

Orange or Black shift knobs in stock Brand new and Genuine Nissan Got the other parts in stock as well, however Lee may have that covered. Alex

I have sold hundreds of sets of rotors and thousands of other parts to Z owners and I doubt if many have declared the "changes" Okay, I fully understand and accept if you are fitting a supercharger or turbos that your premium will increase, however some of this other stuff is just an excuse to needlessly and unjustifiably increase your insurance premium. Hands up those who have had a car insurance claim rejected because they have not declared a mod. Alex.

Where? You been on the again?

Nice one Paul New and preowned bumpers in stock PM received from OP and replied to Alex.

As you are handy with the tools there is no point in getting specialists to look at the car as what Paul suggested earlier will be sufficient. Just pull all the plugs and see if the engine unlocks, if so, you could be lucky, however if the insurance company inspects the car and it is locked they will probably automatically in this instance deem the car beyond economical repair. If they inspect the car after you have unlocked it they may well look on the situation differently and instruct further investigation. The course of action that you take will be determined by what outcome you prefer. Alex

No - that is very steep for a repair job! What exactly have they quoted for? They have said that they will replace it with a new panel from Nissan and said that it will be a the exact same color You obviously never read my previous PM. I am sure that the colour match will be perfect, however avoid at all costs fitting a new quarter panel, trust me Alex.

A failed compression rod bush is easy to spot, however the ball joints can be a bit more trickier. Alex

To the trained technician, then 2 hours will be plenty for fitting coil overs providing there are no issues with the hardware. Allow another 2 hours for adjustments and fine tuning. Further time will also be required to carry out a full geometry check and adjust. Alex.

Why don't you measure them up yourself and not be so lazy

Hi Alex What sort of price is a full engine for a 2005 roadster please? PM on its way mate. Alex

£100.00 In stock and good to go same/next day. Black or orange in stock at the moment. Alex

Hydro locking is quite common with a long pipe CAI and if that is the case then best to get it whipped off and replaced with an OEM filter box if you are going the insurance route, that is if you have not declared the CAI upgrade to your insurers. As has been suggested by Paul, remove all the plugs and turn over by hand. If it is still locked then I guess that you will have bent valves and piston issues. I have plenty VQ35DE cyl. heads in stock complete with valves and cams if it is only top end damage. I also have VQ35DE full engines in stock if you are not so lucky. Good Luck Alex.

I would definately consider repairing that as it is certainly doable. The last thing you want to do is start cutting off a rear quarter panel. There will be no tell tale signs if you find a decent repairer, however you can ALWAYS tell if it has had a new quarter panel fitted. Alex.
