  1. At least your finding these things out now rather than the first time it's back on a hill climb or something.
  2. Sounds good Stu, ...I'd try it with my Civic but it sound's sh*t. Plus I can't rev it above 4.5K rpm when standing still which sucks but it does work as a cheap launch control system when I need it.
  3. Welcome aboard. I've never used a car cover on my own vehicles but I know people that have and for the most part I know a lot of people recommend the "Stormforce" covers. Supposed to be really good quality all weather breathable covers. Most important thing though before putting any car cover on is to ensure your car is properly clean as any dirt/grit/dust etc will damage/mark the paintwork when the cover is fitted or moves around with the wind. Some pictures here in this old for sale thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87728-350z-370z-stormforce-fitted-car-cover/ Current new price here for example: http://www.coveryourcar.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=17421
  4. Welcome aboard. If that's your Zed in your avatar picture it looks pretty good. Is it a candy apple red colour or something different?
  5. Like the new steering wheel, ...looks like a pumped up on steroids version of the OEM one.
  6. Welcome aboard. Plenty of performance mods available for the Zeds OP if you're after making it a bit more lively. Just depends how deep your pockets are.
  7. As Lexx said the W-brace isn't really a big issue. This after market W-brace from Ultra Racing is probably the best option imo as it is cheaper than a new OEM version and looks better whilst still doing the same job (stiffening up the chassis): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-RACING-4-Point-Rear-Lower-Bar-Brace-for-Nissan-FAIRLADY-Z33-350z-RL4-1259-/281862953916?hash=item41a0575bbc:g:7sAAAOSw7FRWUKLW Plenty of threads about it: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84388-replacement-w-brace-options/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88959-wm-brace-information/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/101885-rusty-underneath-help/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/102530-which-aftermarket-under-chassis-brace-to-buy-gt-spec-or-ultra-racing/ The gearbox issue though I'm not sure ~ depends how serious it is. Could some slower more sympathetic gear changes get around the problem or does it do it however you drive it? Could need a rebuild or maybe could do with swapping out for a good used condition unit although both options aren't cheap.
  8. Welcome aboard. Hope your Zeds insured properly (as a V6 petrol) as wouldn't want you to have any problems claiming should the worst happen.
  9. Re: the bumper mouthwash ~ I'd remove the indicators/fog/reverse lights if I were you before binning it as it won't be too much to post those if someone was willing to buy them from you. If you've the time you could always do the red fog light delete (by baking in the oven & removing the red lens) as I'm sure someone would buy them then. GLWTS.
  10. ^^ ...And there is the more knowledgeable man on the subject.
  11. I'm assuming you meant to post this in the 350Z area so I've moved it here. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the subject will be along shortly. Welcome aboard btw.
  12. Always best not to rush these jobs anyway imo & wait till you have everything you need to do the job right.
  13. Ooohh good spot SHEZZA. It does indeed look like the 350Z boot carpet as below.
  14. Well by the sounds of it from Payco's post you just need to modify an allen key slightly to suit. I'm guessing the curved head just needs to be shortened so you can fit the allen key in a gap so you could do this with a grinder (bench or handheld) or cut it shorter with a metal saw or Dremel.

    Yep few fair priced ones too. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xbgw.TRS0&_nkw=bgw&_sacat=0 Good luck Swiftyy.

    Brilliant. I won't buy it though as it would look daft on my CTR but a great buy for someone going for the "Rocket Bunny" look. Get a proper "For Sale" ad made up if you haven't already (follow the rules in red in the "350Z parts for sale" area & I'll approve it).
  17. I've moved the thread for you already to the "370Z technical" section so no need to repost. Although it's partially a "wanted" thread you did have a few queries so thought it better off here.
  18. What Alex said imo. No idea though whether the OEM filter has the anti drain back valve/membrane for after the engine is shut off. Nissan Dealerships should all be open tomorrow although sometimes their parts departments are closed on weekends. You might get lucky though & they'll still let you buy just the oil filter if you ask.

    Hardly a BGW is it Tuck, ....more a bisexual wing that one. I like it.
