I'm still in OZ and couldn't imagine moving back to the UK but best of luck with your move. 370z's do have a few issues but can be permanently fixed if they need sorting. Early models (think pre 2012) can suffer from the oil Gallery gaskets failing. Clutch slave cylinders can fail but plenty of uprated options out there . Electronic steering lock can fail but pulling the fuse to disable it should prevent it from failing. Oil temps do run high which is an easy fix by fitting an after market oil cooler. All cars have weak points and the 370 is no exception but once they've been sorted these are pretty tough old cars .

Your now famous down under

I can't comment on how they effect handling as I've never used spacers but I guess you could take yours off and see if you notice a difference, then let us know. They do look good on your car though

Looks like you may have wheel spacers too

What about the Evo r rear wing ? It's a bit bigger than the Nismo

I decided to enlarge the holes, so now they fit fine.

Thanks that's great info

Oh and your car has an American twin

Never ever heard of anyone having a prohibition notice on their car. Can't believe how pedantic they are. You'd be screwed here as you can't lower your car anywhere near as low as you've got yours. Thanks for the magnet info, I may order the brackets for the impact sensors as I've ordered just about everything else for the Nismo bumper (arch liners,engine under tray, tow hook cover) although I refuse to pay 2k for the DRL's or $110 for a Nissan badge .

What prohibition notice? Car is looking beautiful. I pick up my Nismo front bumper this week and I'd like to do what you did regarding the magnets behind the bumper for the front plate. Our plates are metal over here so I've bought a pack of 3 of those Neodymium magnets about 5p coin size, do I just super glue them behind the bumper? Also what did you do with the three front crash impact sensors when you fitted the Nismo bumper ? Keep up the good work

Sorry ,I have another question. Do the sport bumpers headlamp washer jet covers fit the Nismo bumper or do you have to buy Nismo specific ones ? Thanks

Thanks for the info, that's very helpful. The guy you bought your spoiler from has a V1 Nismo bumper for sale. As for painting a good body shop will be able to match it. It will help them if they have your old bumper to colour match with.

You got your spoiler from the same guy I did . I decided that the spoiler doesn’t suit the stock rear bumper so bought a Nismo rear bumper as well but now want to get the Nismo front bumper to complement the rear. Would you mind telling me if there are holes in the Nismo front bumper to bolt in the three front impact sensors ? On the stock sport bumper they bolt behind the number plate plinth area and behind each of the brake duct vent covers (next to the fangs). As the Nismo bumper is very different to the sport it got me wondering where you bolt those sensors. Hope you can help. Here’s what your car would look like with the Nismo rear bumper (oh and Nismo wheels)

You can still try disconnecting the battery to turn off the light

I have a 2012 model and my solid yellow key warning light would randomly appear and each time I could clear it by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. I figured out mine was being caused by me adjusting the clutch pedal height(also stopped my cruise control working) once I put the clutch pedal height back to the stock position the key light never came on again.

I believe it bolts underneath the bumper and then the engine splash guard then bolts to it

He’s also selling another 370Z Nismo mk1 spoiler with a tiny paint chip although strangely it’s £100 dearer that the one I bought from him. Also so he as a Nismo front splitter for the Nismo 370Z mk1 front bumper going silly cheap

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-370Z-NISMO-New-Rear-Bumper-/283530357169 he is a genuine seller, I’ve bought a brand new 370Z Nismo mk1 rear spoiler from him and it was the real deal. £225 is a steal

Love the contrast of the carbon against paintwork

My Dad treated his 2005 roadster to an Uprev courtesy of Abbey motorsports. It went from 249 bhp @ hubs to 262bhp @ the hubs which according to Abbey is 305bhp @ the flywheel. He went for pops n bangs and said he absolutely loves the end result and was worth every penny.

Easier said than done sometimes

To bend the hangers (car mounted ones, not exhaust mounted ones) down I used a jack handle slid over them, this made it easy to bend them down . To bend them up (not as easy) I jacked the car up and put blocks of wood under the car until they were touching the hanger and then lowered the car down which bent the hanger up
