  1. Hey everyone. Do any if you have experience with running a diff brace. If so what are the benefits of fitting one of these? thanks John
  2. Hey everyone when I bought my 370z the plastic beep was broken on my fuel cap. Anyone got one for sale? cheers john
  3. Does anyone have the pin outs diagram for the Nav screen please. cheers john
  4. Brace, wiring covers a PAS res bracket all refitted after a fresh coat of white powder.
  5. All blasted, ready to prime and paint
  6. And after a few hours cleaning and I bit of a rewrite.
  7. This is how it looked after I removed the brace. Inner wings are filthy.
  8. There’s a few things gone on recently. After finding a weeping brake line I decided to change all of them for braided lines. I flushed the system and filled it with 5.1 fluid. Front discs and pads changed and also new caliper pins and clips. replaced both front drop links. fitted some Kanju bonnet and boot struts. I must admit, I’m impressed with the rear as the assisting springs open the boot from pressing the button with out lifting it. the bonnet dampers were a little big of a pain. Due to the pedestrian popper hinges I had to dress back the plug welds on the hinge to get the dampers to fit. After that, it was a straight install and they work great. next came the mess in the engine bay. The previous owner clearly never cleaned bothered cleaning it. I ended up using G3 to take all the grime off. Once that was done, I did a bit of a wire tuck on the ugly cabling that came across the strut towers. It looks a world better now. Twken the strut brace off and a couple of other brackets to go into work for a fresh powder coat in white and I’ll reassemble it all. I’ll post some pics in a bit 😁
  9. Replaced the boot popper springs today. Nice easy job. Got the new items from openTop. You can see by the pictures they are a little longer and the springs are stiffer than the worn OEM units. It’s now quite a definite aggressive pop which I like
  10. Thanks Andy. Couple of other parts on the way. I’ve ordered a couple of new front drop links as there seems to be a slight knock on the front and I’ve also ordered a universal folding mirror module so they close when the alarm is activated. fitted a new 370Z badge on the rear from Tarmac sports as the one on the car was pretty @*!# to say the least.
  11. Took a little shot of my 2 babies together 💪🏽
  12. Had an issue with the boot popping correctly. Not wanting to do the penny trick, I ordered a new set of updated springs and removed the weight from the boot. Pops nice now and don’t have to lift it to get the lock to disengage. next step is updated boot struts. I’d like the kid to open itself without lifting it.
