I have for sale a set of 370z outer door handles. These started off silver but I have painted them dark grey (like the 2018+ models). They are in great outer condition but the inside has a couple of pieces that have rusty (this is very normal). They still work perfectly! Please note, these have not been professionally painted and were painted by me, so I cannot guarantee a professional level of quality or durability. £130 for the pair. Collection from Norwich, or I am happy to post them at the buyers expense (I have packaging materials etc.)

That is very odd, I have never had anything like that. You shouldn't have to tamper with the wiring at all. I am not sure about wiring in aftermarket cameras, as mine has an OEM one which just worked. I would give the Nifty guys a call or email. You get lifetime support with the system and they were great with the teething issues I had.

Hi, I am after a perfect (or very close) condition bonnet for my 370z, needs to be in QAB pearl white. Thanks in advance.

Had a black 370z Mk2 Nismo follow me from Norwich centre out onto the A47. Would be cool to find out who it was and if they live nearby 👌 Also saw they took a roller of me going past, which would be awesome to get hold of 👀

There is indeed, but it wasnt cheap. I bought the Nifty City kit. Its fully reversible as well so no cutting into anything. Here is a link to the review article I did for it which might help give you more info 👍

Thank you 🙏 Get one, you wont regret it. Unless you daily it like I do and it gets icy 😂 I appreciate the offer but im afraid I will have to decline haha.

I really think it looks so much better and suits the car more. The V2 spoiler looks great on a GT spec, but the Nismo wants something more aggressive IMO. Thats interesting. Well if you are ever in Norwich I can give you the name of the bodyshop. You could always get a GT spec tailgate and just swap the tailgates themselves? Then no work needs to be done.

Next update was i decided to get some Tarmac rear quarter window vents. Got them painted by my bodyshop and then fitted them with 3m tape. They arent a perfect fit or perfect shape for the window (which i was slightly disappointed by as it wouldnt be difficult to get them a lot closer), but you can only see that up close. Took a bit of moving around to get them where i wanted but got there in the end.

I went 5% on the rear and rear quarters, and then (i think) 35% on the sides. You really dont notice much difference looking out of the sides from inside the car which is good.

If it was my house thats exactly what i would do. But im renting currently unfortunately.

Yeh agreed, it actually makes a big difference to the look.

Another job i finally got around to doing was tinting the windows. I also went for a sunstrip at the same time. The side windows arent as dark as they look, its just the lighting in the car port.

Now that would be interesting…

Thats interesting. I imagine the previous owner, like me, took them off either because they faded of they just preferred without. Colour coded wing mirrors would be pretty easy to find as the GTs have them. It wouldnt look bad, but with the more aggressive body kit i think the Nismo suits the black mirrors.

Thanks! Yeh i definitely agree. Looks much sportier. And hopefully being powder coated they wont chip so easily.

Next was a non planned change. My red wing mirror accent stickers were all faded and looked terrible close up. And to replace them would be a £300 option from the States. So i decided to take them off and see how it looked rather than spend that obscene amount of money. And actually i now think i prefer it without, it just seems a little sleeker. But i know this will cause a debate. I have a mate with a vinyl cutter so can always have some more done cheaply if i change my mind.

Its been ages since i last updated this thread, so there are a few things ive done to the car since… The first thing was having the wheels powder coated and removing the diamond cut. Im not a fan of gloss black wheels, so went for a dark grey satin finish. I managed to get hold of some Nismo decals to go under the centre cap clear coat which work brilliantly. Imo the car looks to much better now.

Yeh you dont have to run the same size spacers front and rear 👍

Yeh just stock atm, 245/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear I am looking to go slightly wider when the tires need replacing though 👀 Its a common thing to do in the states on the stock rims. Looking to go 255 front and 295 rear.

I have 20mm spacers all round and have had no issues with fitment

Yeh i do love having the car port, and then the space in front. Like you say it protects it from the weather. I mean like you, in a perfect world having a large double garage would be perfection. But until then this is good haha.

So for my 30th birthday i thought a nice gimmicky present would be a personal number plate. Really happy with it and the short plates really suit the car 👌 I went for a slightly wider rear plate to fill the rear bumper section a bit more.

Yeh its not cheap which is why i jumped on it when it was on sale. But still well worth it in my opinion. 1. This was the only full on solution that i found after scouring the internet. All the others were just dongle workarounds. Whereas this just works straight away and has full integration. And the fact its wireless CarPlay as well sold it for me. 2. Honestly i cant remember for definite now. But im pretty sure (like 90% sure) i didnt get charged import tax. 3. Because of the way it basically sits in between the wiring loom and the stereo unit, everything in the stereo unit is still used. Meaning that you would use the stock stereo unit connectivity outlets for aftermarket amps etc. Nothing like that would be plugged directly into the aftermarket unit. I hope the above helps 👍

Sorry i missed this message. Not sure if it would cause other issues if you had to replace the screen with the touchscreen one 🤷‍♂️ I dont use the Android side, but i didnt need anything additional to run wireless CarPlay, so i dont imagine you would need anything additional for wireless Android Auto.

Yeh definitely. Was the first thing i did haha.
