Well played, that is exactly the way you should upgrade from a Nissan 350z

Bad times. How much have you paid out so far for all this if you dont mind me asking?

Tyres. Even if the tread is decent id get them swapped straight away, could be cracking after being stood for so long. Dont skimp on them either, the Zed is not a car you want to have cheap/mismatched fitted to.

Which ebay are you looking on where there are lots of facelift headlights for under £300? I dont even see 1 when I look.

Rare as hens teeth used, and between £700 - £800 new each from Nissan.

If only it was as popular over here then maybe the facelift headlights might not be as rare as hens teeth. Bad times

As others have said above, not sure how you lose the backend at "well under the speed limit" as OP put it. Theres either something dangerously wrong with your car (tyres, shocks etc), something on the road (in which case others would have spun too...) or OP is telling fibs.

The 1st would be admitting your car is unroadworthy, dont do that.

The 2nd would mean there are witnesses as theirs spun too

The 3rd seems the most likely

I think its man up time and take the punishment in all honesty.

Facelift headlights look good to go tho

 

Anyway, I've banged on enough, suffice to sat I'll never touch an AM company again, Elephant did what was needed to get it sorted.

I learnt the same the hard way. My words of advice now is change your number ASAP. You will now be subject to 3yrs or so of constant ambulance chaser phone-calls/texts either by the AMC itself, or by other parties it will now sell your details onto to recover "costs".

The AMC are one of, if not the biggest reason for pushing premiums up yet the insurance co's are so intertwined with them they only have themselves to blame.

Other than being a bit rough around the edges I think thats abit of a bargain, performance wise anyway for the price.

Eibach.

Looks like a Invidia Gemini

Unlucky. I'd cut your losses and your stress and sort it out yourself seperately now. Large countrywide organisations like this vary massively depending on how compatent your local rep is, and from what you've described you are clearly one of the unlucky ones where they dont have a clue so no amount of return trips will solve it.

Nice beading

A fiver and thats cutting my own throat.

Been on the car 14 months now and no indication of any issues.

Have they lasted another year inspiral?

It's a thought I guess, it stings it's got to be a £250 punt. Any experience with the £70 arms of flee bay. I recon that's what was fit new 8 months ago.

 

Brakes were good enough to pass am MOT but not quite to my liking. Im going to try a third bleed with the engine running and if not up to scratch then to the garage for pressure bleed.

Buy cheap, buy twice as they say, inferior quality balljoint maybe.

 

Anyhow, best of luck...hope you get it sorted soon

One of the members on here fitted them without any issues, hes had at least 14 months out of them:

Did you miss my thread?

http://www.350z-uk.c.../page__hl__depo

Yeah I didn't signup until Nov 2014 so I would have missed that

How are you getting on with MOTs with them fitted, any bother?

First time ive seen those LHD Depo headlights fitted to a RHD UK car, friendly MOT tester I assume to get it passed?

Edit. nvm I read the proper second link, Ironman mod aparently so probably not Depo.

America/Americans are wierd, so yes, they will vote him in and they will get what they deserve. Remember, this is the same country that voted in Arnie so it shouldn't come as any surprise.

A member on here: Asifcml is building/fitting the kit currently:

No doubt he will be able to provide a good insight on total cost once finished.

Its also started cropping up on eBay recently too from a UK seller, more expensive mind:

Hows this work by the way, I thought Pokemon was a Nintendo trademark yet the company running/milking the franchise appears to be independent? I bet Nintendo are kicking themselves now for insisting on only releasing their IP's on their own hardware, theres clearly a demand for it on other platforms (mobiles etc)

Yeah, literally have just come in from fitting them!

 

 

 

 

 

Same colour as mine, looks really good too... damn its tempting

Just have reply from him...

 

Anyone know Nissan VK 5.6...?

 

Serious, that's a pick up truck engine!

Seems to be a popular swap in America, I guess they get a good supply from all the pickups/trucks they buy:

Big topic discussing it here:

Not seen this mentioned before and came across it during my eBay trawl:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-V-8-CONVERSIONS-ENGINE-REBIULDS-AND-TIMING-CHAINS-FITTED-/272297158628

Someone local perhaps could do some investigating?
