  1. Used but otherwise fine. I used these on my HFC cats but decided to run without them. £10 Delivered in the UK https://www.dropbox....spacer.jpg?dl=0
  2. Here you go! Https://db.tt/dvrOXufH
  3. Maybe, either way I've had the car 4 years and it's still black in those areas, I'll snap a pic and post it maybe someone can say that it's just paint!
  4. The OEM (I assume) front discs still look nice around the black hubs (the faces are horrid but hence the replacement!)
  5. What's the best approach to take? I have OEm front discs and the hub area is coated black and looks nice, some cheapy DBA rear discs which rust on the hub and look naff, I want new discs all round and was hoping the black on dimpled/grooved would look the works and also stop and rust in the non contact areas
  6. Really? I'm talking about the non contact areas rather than the disc face itself
  7. Anyone get the protective coating on their discs? I'm tempted by the black, looks like with dimpled/grooved it would highlight the details and also keeps the hub black which is always nice. Does it last? (obviously not when it's in contact with the pads)
  8. Pretty much the heading! Garage reckons they could try heat and see if they free up but they feel certain they could snap. They reckon it's new caliper time. Is that my only option? How much are some used rear calipers for a 54 plate? I'd be happy to try some DIY on them just worried I'll break it and be stuck!
  9. They're definitely available although as it's described as the only version I guess they're bought/molded to order. I was wondering if the thumb indents are going to be comfy
  10. Has anyone had the re-profiled 350z wheel they do? Apparently it comes as pictured so you can't have a less extreme version, just wondering how comfy it is?
  11. It's on one face of the front, it's not too bad just bugs me and makes it look old! It's textured plastic isn't it? Who fixes such things?
  12. The cover for my steering wheel airbag has an annoying scratch on since I bought it. I'd love to get the wheel recovered but the centre piece really bugs me. Is it tricky to get a hold of or mod in some way?
  13. I feel mine has got worse since I bought it, I have had some bushes changed in the last year but I really need to jack it up and start wiggling the other bushes, confidence as you say gets low I also have MPSS as well. (don't think it's related)
  14. SO just to ask... The door has two special bolts, one at the front and one at the back, thr front one doesn't get a mention. On mine its a normal thread with a flat head slot in which then has a 12mm hex nut tieing it to the door frame, I gave it a few twists clockwise but didn't see any results. DO I need to unscrew the bolts above it and then use the adjuster bolt? As usual the guide says what to do without saying what to do.
  15. Hm they look fairly similar (the ordering of the data isn't the same between both sheets)
  16. Now with pictures! https://www.dropbox.com/s/9v6dwguxr9kf94h/WheelAlignment.jpg?dl=0 That's the alignment details right there, does that help people? Tyres at 32 now which helps a bit
  17. So if you haven't already guessed I'm busy fixing some long standing issues. One of them are the steering wheel controls. I'd like to take them off, respray them but retain the printed letting. What are my options? Would using those sticky/water based decals result in a little bump round all the lettering?
  18. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-STITCHING-2X-DOOR-CARD-LEATHER-SKIN-COVERS-FITS-NISSAN-350Z-2002-2009-/231502615582?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e6a1941eThis kind of thing, has anyone used them? Got pics? The price seems to point them out as middle ground things, they're hardly cheap but they're not top dollar either,
  19. Should be laser aligned, they're a specialist garage!
  20. I'll try and check the bushes as well, which are the common offenders? Rear anti roll bar? I had the front ARB bushes changed last year so on that logic the rears could be on their way out too, how easy would they be to DIY?
  21. So pressures lowered, feels better but still not right. I need to have a proper play with the shocks, it feels as if pushing down the car returns up straight away although the rear feels springier than the front. Haven't checked enough to be sure though!
  22. No print outs but I'm sure I can ask for them
  23. Worth saying on a hot day the pressures were at 40 and I lowered them to 36 which did feel a bit better. The tyres were changed in winter so static cold air 36 vs hot day spirited driving 40 then lowered back to 36 in the same conditions MPSS all round yes. Tyres are new from January so have a decent mileage on them ~1000 if not more probably
  24. pressures should be 36 all round, not sure of the geo etc to be honest, it's not lowered so should all be nicely stock. I did swap the arb drop links when I bought the car so I'd hope they were fine but I'll have a look! How best to check the shocks?
