Morning all, After taking my car into the garage wth mental brake shudder and squeaking I feel the pads and discs may need changing. The car is a 02 350z import. I don't want to lay out a @*!# load which the garage will charge for a brand new setup, does anyone have a low mileage setup for sale? I'm still waiting on the verdict but I'm planning for the worst. Cheers, Paul.

Big thanks to Alex for sorting me out with parts that saved me muchos cash. Paul.

Alex, Not sure what happened there, I posted the message on wanted last night before we agreed the order. I do require it from you. PM regarding payment. Regards, Paul.

Evening all, After having some issues the box has come off my 350 manual and suggested replacements are the above parts are needed. I'm looking for low mileage second hand as I cant afford brand new parts. My motor is a 2002 manual. Just as a recap I'm after: Full clutch kit Flywheel Release bearing. Same car preferably so the bearing and clutch plate marry up correctly with wear etc or just the correct bearing for the clutch kit is fine. Thanks, Paul.

Cheers Ewen, I'll find out Monday I reckon. How much will you be looking for so I can start working out potential costs. Thanks again, Paul.

Afternoon all, Has anyone got a low mileage gearbox for 2003 350z manual. Car is behaving very strange and I think something has gone. Not definite yet as its heading to garage on Friday. But, I'm planning for worst case. Thanks, Paul.

PM'd

Afternoon all, I'm having a bit of a dilemma with my transmission/clutch. After doing some research it seemed that I needed to replace my clutch release bearing due to a noisy rattle when my car was idling which stopped when clutch was depressed. However, after getting the car back I now have a vibration through the clutch when its is depressed just before the bite point (whilst driving in gear and idling). Apparently the new bearing now doesn't sit well with the old clutch plate and that's what is causing the vibration - any thoughts? If this is the case, I'm now thinking that I need to replace my clutch with a new clutch kit (hopefully looking to replace clutch plate etc without replacing flywheel). If anyone has a very low mileage/new clutch available I would be interested in hearing from you.

Afternoon all, My car has developed a hiss when I remove the petrol tank cap when I refill. Any ideas what could cause this? It hasn't always done it. Cheers.

Afternoon all, I recently took my car in for a service at Richardsons in Colchester and the report back stated the prop shaft is showing signs of wear. I've looked at replacement parts which don't seem to expensive. How much of a big job is it to get changed out? i.e time/labour costs? I just don't want to get shafted on the price (pun intended) Cheers, Paul.

Thanks to Andy Watson for the suggestion to take my car to Richardsons in Colchester. Great service and car feels on form. Will definitely use them again.

Andy, how much did a P3 run you last time you used Richardson? I'm guessing £250 ish?

Morning everyone, Does anyone have any experience/suggestions of somewhere to get a service in or around Colchester? Cheers, Paul.

Does anyone have a spare front right wheel bearing I can buy? They are mighty expensive wherever I've seen them, Don't fancy paying £130. Cheers for any help.

Might be a silly question, but can you use existing fixings etc from the original bonnet? Also does anyone know the weight saving carbon Vs Original, also seen fibre glass bonnets available, anyone had any experience with these?

Just been back in the car and used the SATNAV for the first time; all the buttons are in Japanese - clears it up I guess.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your help and suggestion with my emissions issues, I got it back from the garage and drove it from York to London-good times. \I have to apologise what I'm about to ask but as a zed newbie, I have to. I'm unsure which zed I've got. Last owner stated it was a 2002 nismo import (which I'm not disputing) but after looking about I'm confused as to if that's the case. I don't have any import docs and the last owner thinks it may of been imported in 2005? I've included the pics I have. Its got what seems to be the UK GT spec; heated leather, Bose, Brembos,Rays forged alloys and also electronic throttle response adjuster next to the steering wheel. However doesn't have some of the import features of auto folding wing mirrors etc. The reason I ask is that insuring an I port is obviously more expensive, which I found with my old FTO. Is there a way I can know 100%? Also what does that mean for specs, performance etc? Sorry I've laid on some more bone questions but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Paul.

Quick styling question. I've got a 2002 NISMO 350 that I have just got back from a monster garage visit (totally worth it) Is it acceptable to put the NISMO badges on it? Boot badge etc? Badge below for example.

The car is now ready for pick up, thanks to Keyser who saved my ass with some cats he kindly couriered to the garage for me. Much appreciated man.

Thanks everyone. I'll being giving Atkins a call tomorrow. Car is located not too far away as well! Could be the result I'm looking for. Cheers Guys
