mlombard Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hello Folks , Bought my 350 roadsters 3 weeks ago and loving it, loads of plans to get it as good as possible, W brace next on the agenda. Already using this site and the guides are fantastic ! and the members really helpfull can't wait to attend a meets and find out what people are doing to theirs . Quote
GMballistic Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Welcome aboard. Re: the W brace ~ If it's just surface rust then you could always recondition it yourself by removing all the rust (wire brush/wire wheel on a grinder) then repaint it with black Hammerite paint or similar. If it needs replacing then you could get a good condition second hand one from zmanalex on here. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ ..Or have a look at the various members & member traders who may be breaking Zeds currently. If you want a new one there are a few professional traders on here that should be able to help you out for a lot less than the main dealer. Try The Cougar Store or Clark Motorsport ~ both can be found in the "professional traders" section. The other option if it needs replacing is to get an aftermarket replacement. This one from eBay is what a few members have purchased although best to shop around as I had seen this brace from another seller at £129 & not the £162 odd but still a lot cheaper than the OEM part.

JohnUKVetteNut Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hi and welcome had my roadster 2years without any faults/codes. Very reliable beast. Just a question to any other roadster owners, do all roadsters have a "W" brace fitted? mine doesnt ( 2005 import) should it? JohnUKVetteNut Quote
mrt Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Welcome to a great Forum. You will really enjoy your roadster. Like the w brace mod.Considering one myself. Let us know if you feel any improvement in handling. Quote
RafsZed Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Welcome, I'm only in Thatcham so not far from you, nice to have another Z owner nearby. Quote

GMballistic Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 http://i1050.photobu...zpse0tqgipb.jpg Hope this pic works this is the z just had the wheels done Looks great. Next time though if you click on the "direct link" next to the picture and then click the "image" icon (looks like a polaroid picture) in the "reply to this topic" box on here you can then paste the URL link into that. That will then post the picture directly on the forum. Like below. Quote
