MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 We can help with the clutch and the exhaust... Quote
Daryl Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Id say Kaiser Motors or Abbey would be your best bet, both highly rated and traders on here Quote
Ricey Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Just sell it and buy a later car.. ^ This.......chucking 2k at the car there mate. Quote
Arran Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Thats not that bad in the grand scheme of things! Get it done lad Quote
coldel Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Just sell it and buy a later car.. Which could come with its own expensive hidden problems? 2 Quote
Rs2oo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Mmmmmm..... sell the car then buy it back a year later after all the work is done. A sound option but its such a great car I'm loathed to get shot. Cant take it to Le Mans this year as I cant afford to get it all done before June 11th! Ricey, not quite 2K but not far short about £1850 I reckon. Will have to sell the MX5 to cover it.... Quote
Rs2oo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 North Weald Track Day didn't help............................. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Expensive times ahead You contracted Zeditis yet? No? Come back when you do Quote
350zedd Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Lottery win you'll get from the National Lottery or Lotto........might be waiting some time for this Probably end up like this before you do ! Quote
Rosssco Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Just sell it and buy a later car.. ^ This.......chucking 2k at the car there mate. I suspect attempting to sell the car with those things needed will knock a significant amount off the market value (what ever that is) - would you buy one needing new tyres, clutch, leaking exhaust and no MoT..?

brillomaster Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 nothing out the ordinary there, just a bit unfortunate they've all hit at the same time! if you want to do it on the cheap you'd get by with £400 for tyres, secondhand standard exhaust off ebay for £100, and do the service yourself. but once its all done, you should be good for at least a little while, although sounds like you might be around the new brake discs time as well if they haven't been done already!

Nick350z Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Don't forget to budget for a flywheel - chances are it's past it's best if you're replacing the clutch as well. I'd say you're looking at about £2000-£2500 for all that lot depending on what particular parts you use. I recommend Japex or CS from personal experience. Edited May 21, 2014 by Nick350z Quote
Exotic Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Better need some of this then, costs are mounting up (hate it when it's all at once lol): I'd look at seeing Kaizer Motors as it's based in Kent . Edited May 21, 2014 by Exotic Quote
Grundy Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Think people are making this sound a lot worse than it really is.... The only expensive bit you have there is the clutch. Flywheel - http://www.driftworks.com/driftworks-superfly-350z-vq35de-lightweight-chromoly-flywheel.html Clutch - http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Nissan_350Z_3.5_2004/p/car-parts/car-transmission/clutch-and-associated-parts/clutch-kit/?641701280&1&230bd4a98f9fb836228fe2322cd2454ef19cce46&000069 Tyres, just go Part Worns. No need to fork out Hundreds of ££ on new tyres when you have a mountain of a bill already. You could get a full set of tyres for less than £200 to pass the MOT Exhaust, £100-£200 for 2nd hand. Service depends how in depth you want it. Wipers = eBay. 1 Quote
tomdotc Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'm about 10-15 minutes away from you (Rochester) and would recommend you go to Kaizer Motors, Sly will sort you out. He recently done both clutch and flywheel for me recently and is local to both me and you. Quote
Rs2oo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Quoted for Bridgestones £640 Quoted for Falken £480 Anyone had Falken tyres ? any good ? Quote
coldel Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Had Falkens on my Zed, perfectly fine for my driving style (non aggressive 90% of the time) - bit twitchy in the wet but pretty good in the dry. Quote

jjt Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Or you could go to a 40 profile tyre; all four Goodyear Eagle F1 A2s would cost you about £460 from Love Tyres, and I'm really pleased with how they have been on my car Quote
