Hi all Thinking of moving to a 370Z from my beloved 350Z. Not a car buff, just love driving. This 370Z has been on Piston Heads for a bit and is describted as minor Cat D but the price is obviously great. Question: If you intended to hang on to it so weren't too bothered about re-sale, would you give it a shot? Any other downsides you can think of? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3838471.htm thoughts appreciated.

For those of you not old enought to remember, the subject header is a nod towards an Ian Dury album. However..... The real purpose of the post is to give people a nod towards a potential brake set up if your thinking of renewing. My discs were badly pitted (long boring story) and I needed to replace. After some conversations with people on here and lots of reading, CS provide me with a set of the new EBC Optimax discs with Yellostuff pads and HEL braided lines (in a natty orange!). I also picked up some Motul brake fluid from Opie Oils. I got a local garage to fit everything for me after a long chat with them about ensuring the hubs were super clean before fitting. I then used the information from a "sticky" on here about bedding in (one posted by ZMANALEX). To be honest, I was really apprehensive given the amount of horror stories on here about post fitting problems. I am delighted to say that the set up is fantastic. Not a single squeak, noise, judder and after bedding in the stopping power is phenomenal. Huge thanks to CS for putting up with my inane and constant questioning and for supplying everything so quickly. Happy man

Wrong side unfortunately. Thanks though!

I hope not Mike. Nissan quoted me for the housing unit and glass at a ridiculous price. Maybe a scrap yard trip?

Hi all Some cretin kicked my off-side wing mirror off last night I am trying to source the black plastic mounting plate bit as the actual mirror housing and glass are fine. Does anyone know of a stockist for this part or a part number? Incidentally, I went down to the main dealer to price up and they couldn't even be bothered to come out and look. Then quoted me for a casing and glass ( not what I asked for ) + painting with a 3 week wait! Any help gladly received.

Hey ho..... It's off to ebay, Piston Heads we go.....

Many thanks Ebized Out of interest, what did I do wrong?

So can I assume they are unlikely to be Veilside parts.........? Luckily wasn't thinking of buying anyway, just pointing it out.

Hi Just spotted this on ebay, anyone know anything about this one? Cheers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-Z33-WHITE-VEILSIDE-DEMO-CAR-SALE-LOOK-/260655633463?pt=Automobiles_UK

Hi All Quick update. Very many thanks for all the advice but a real "big up" to CS who sorted me with the Scorpion exhaust and got Scorpion to deliver direct to me to save time. Now fitted and absolutely love the sound, JamesyJ's description earlier in the thread is spot on. Fitting was "interesting". Didn't do it myself because I am a technical "numpty"! Really surprised that no exhaust fitters in my area were interested, lots of "dont do aftermarket or fit ones we haven't supplied". Used a local garage that I trust who fitted ok but I do seem to have a rattle on particularly bad roads. The upside is that when I picked the car up they specifically asked me to bring it back in a week to ensure all was ok and that there were no fitting problems, so hopefull all will work out ok. Love the Zorst though!

Hi Mate In Southampton but not yet running with coilovers (at same stage as you8!). I've been looking at the Hipermax RS, know anything about them?

Hi All Many thanks for the advice. CS has sorted me with a Scorpion which I can't wait to receive and get fitted. Sounds like I should get a nice sound from it and save over £500 against replacing like for like with the stock exhaust. Happy days!

Thanks Husky. Maccaman I have dropped CS a PM. Thanks for the advice.

I'm assuming now sold?
