  1. Hi Ian, is that posted? I'll take one if I can pay you by transfer?
  2. The brake pedal sensor will cost you under £15, I would do that before you end up looking at ABS units That switch was the cause of my problems - even though a garage charged me to swap the ABS unit! My brake lights would still work despite the switch being broken - it was intermittent. You can take the switches out (2 just above the pedal) and manually depress them to work out which one is broken. One switch deals with cruise control - so process of illimination to swap the brake one. They have different pin layouts...
  3. When this happened to me - it was down to a bent steering control arm. If you have hit something hard enough to break the wheel - I would be checking to make sure everything is still as striaght as it should be
  4. Do any of the Traders sell Diff bush sets? I have seen whiteline ones available but not sure on the preferences or recommendations for the DE 350Z Cheers Chris
  5. Start with the 370z Nismo platform and go from there. There seems little sense in taking a step down from that. One of the major reasons that I like the Z range is that it is one of the few cars in the bracket (with the exception of the MX5) that is still mechanical enough to enjoy when doing some spirited driving. Sadly, the use of the 4 pot may turn me off of it...particularly when things like the F-Type will still exist with a V engine
  6. Only to suggest adding what it is made of (Plastic, GRP), how it mounts (i.e standard fixings or new brackets)
  7. easy swop if the seats you are replacing are electric/heated, just use your own connectors Depends which side of the connector has gone though Appreciate the description - but can you add a picture please I will check on a seat that I have - but some airbag wires are a bit like phono or ariel cables and cannot just be re-attached.
  8. Do you have any pictures of what has been cut? Trying to work out what it is that would be required to undo the bodge...

    370Z Nismo

    Will bear that in mind, thanks. I have just located one at a local(ish) Nissan dealer, so will see if I can get a shufty over it this weekend (subject to weather and being given permission)
  10. These are on allot of the new gantrys around the newly widened section of the M25 near junction 19-25 (Waltham Abbey/Enfield/Potters Bar/St Albans) They are obvious enough to spot provided that you are paying attention 700 people caught in 2 months really isn't allot when you look at the number of people using that stretch daily

    370Z Nismo

    A very valid point - I lost track of what forum I was on!! I am based in Potters bar which is junction 24/25 of the M25

    370Z Nismo

    Morning ladies and gents of the 370 Nismo collective! I am looking for a local owner that will let me have a look around their car as I assess the potential to trade up from my 350 - I can go to a HPC to look at the Mk2, but I much prefer the asthetics of the Mk1 and I cannot find one to go an see. I am happy to drive a bit and provide beer tokens or a bottle of something grapey for a willing owner if there are any volunteers Thanks Chris
  13. Hi Ian, Would you take £200 delivered?
  14. My plan is to unlock with the fob, so that the car sees a clear, authorised signal and then swap the battery and do the two fobs at the same time. Fingers crossed
  15. Fingers crossed for my go at the weekend then....did you just do new batteries and a recode?
  16. Tis the season to have an engine on a stand, inside in the warm Nice to see a few proper projects popping up - long live the spanner brigade!
  17. Some of the threads that I have read said that the dash lights didn't flash but the exterior indicators did - so make sure that you can see a reflection or have someone to watch them for you. Where abouts are you in the UK? I have just spoken to Kaizer Motorsport who can do it - but that may not help if you are on the Isle of Man!
  18. Can you drop a PM my way for a black set please Will also have a 350z keyring added to the packet as well please - need to replace my current shabby one
  19. Having spent out quite a bit on mine this year - I feel your pain. This feels like it's final finer to me for 2014!! If you have got halfway through the programming sequence, you will have effectively 'unlearnt' the existing fobs. Having done some reading this morning, there appears to be two methods for teaching the codes; This one...turning the key on and off 6 times at the start http://www.350z-uk.c...te-not-working/ And this one....taking the key in and out at the start http://my350z.com/fo...rogramming.html I haven't tried them yet - but having read as much as I can find on it this morning, it is recognised that it takes a couple of goes (much like the pedal dance) to get it right. There was also someone that commented that when starting the sequence with the 6x on/off that you had to do it reasonably quickly and ensure that you got to the right points of the ignition barrel. Not saying that you aren't doing it properly - but I would give it a couple more goes before you consider opening the car with a brick for the rest of it's life If all else fails, you will need to look up a Nissan specialist that has Consult - they will be able to not only recode but also to diagnose if the fob is knackered Keep us posted!
  20. I will be keeping an eye on this one - I have had exactly the same thing happen last night and had planned to just swap the batteries in the fobs and reprogramme It must be related to the cold weather - I did wonder if there was condensation over a sensor that had frozen or similar upsetting the signal as once I had taken the car for a drive, got the temp up and cleared all the windows etc. the central locking was fine (including from inside the house - which is ~20-30 Ft away)
  21. North London - so a fair bit South of you - thanks for looking in though And replied - just need to work out a car to fit them in!!
  22. Really only after a passenger one - but appreciate that most will want rid of them in pairs I accept that I will have to spray them - so some scuffs not a problem but no tears or splits please If you are close enough for me to collect and happen to have a rear bumper as well - all the better!
