Middle aged lady driving past Kelloggs factory as I was heading the other way. Sorry no reg though .

Interesting as I'll be doing mine on Saturday. Am I right in thinking the Z has puller fans due to their location? Also, Mishimoto say you can reverse the blades depending whether it's puller or pusher operation, so are they setup correctly out of the box?

Welcome to the club fellow northerner .

Thanks to all at CM, after a few phonecalls yesterday & a couple of emails, I received my new Mishimoto fan assembly within 24hrs. Warranty company has already paid me for it .

I need to replace one (or both at the same time if the price is right) cooling fan. I've looked on ebay & other sites & see Mishimoto sell a shroud for around the £180 mark for a pair. If I go on their site they're all laid out in sizes individually. If I look at the Z it shows them as being a 12" slim fan, so if I buy just the 12" slim fan will it fit the factory housing? Looking to do this without spending a silly amount of money.

On hold with these for now, I need to replace the cooling fan first which is more of a priority. I got the prices through work .

Since getting the Z home there was a horrbile knocking from the n/s/f area. At first I thought perhaps it was the ball joint on the upper arm. I had it on the ramp in work today balancing the front wheels & myself & a tech noticed how bad the rear bush was on the banana arm.. It decided to part company with it. The knocking I was hearing was the arm hitting the subframe. I'm now on the lookout for a replacement bush.

I've just had the parts guy double check his numbers & you're right. I don't know what part of "main stop / tail light in the rear 1/4" is difficult to understand. I specifically told him not the slim ones in the bumper. I seem to have 2 other numbers now, thanks to Shezza for his, I have 26555-CF40A & 26550-CF40A. I've Googled around & this seems to match up, still a good buy at £82.34 each.

Yes, the red led main stop / tail light in the rear 1/4. They're genuine Nissan parts, boxed as such. I just need to check if these are the correct version. I could order them & check when they arrive, if they're not I can just send them back within the allowed time frame.

I priced up a pair of the original Nissan led rear lights up in work using the reg of a Z on ebay. With us having Nissan in the group I can buy each of them in for £56.34 each. What I'm reading is there appears to be a couple of versions, one being plug & play, the other not. The part numbers I've been given are: LH 26550-CD41A & RH 26555-CD01A. If anyone can shed any light on this for me.

Being the club secretary on another forum I know how annoying it is when someone asks the obvious stuff. Being a noob & searching around, it's still unclear to me after a lot of searching & reading mixed reviews & posts on various cables.. My Z is a 2005 & has the Bose with amp. I have a lovely Pioneer single DIN with bluetooth, all the bells & whistles. I'd like to fit this to my Z. My previous Pug 406 Coupe had a very complicated JBL amp set up that had no available adapater / lead conversion kit. unless you rewired the whole speaker system with ISO blocks & new wires. I'd like to fit the Pioneer into my Z & have as much functionality as possible. I understand I may lose the answer call button, but that's no big deal as the answer button is on the head unit anyway. I'm looking for simple answers here. What cable would I need to perform this to get it all up & running?

I figured they went on the shaft the space it up so the writing lines up when it's tight. Looks awesome, feels so much better in the hand during gear changes than the original design. What were Nissan thinking there? Thanks once again Mark .

Just received mine, awesome quality! But where do the 3 rubber washers go??

Passed me heading into Flixton as I was heading out. I assume a HR as it had the bonnet bulge instead of the grooved one.

I bought a re-branded Brembo caliper from Brakes Int'l under their name of Budweg: http://brakeparts.co.uk/#!/shop/NISSAN/350Z/03-/350Z%203.5%20V6%20PETROL/Rear%20-%20Brake%20Calipers%20and%20Wheel%20cylinders/BCA4155 You'll need to call for availability though on the Z. It was a perfect fitment on my 406 V6 Coupe though, I just needed to put the Brembo sticker on it & give it a few coats of clear lacquer & you'd never know the difference.

Yes it was towards the left, thanks for the help guys .

Hi Wayne. I came from owning a silky smooth 3.0 V6 406 Coupe for 11 & half years to the not quite as silky smooth 350Z. Both different engines entirely. The 406 Coupe was a quiet, comfortable, effortless motorway mile muncher. The 350Z is not as smooth, but does give off much more of it's V6 noise, especially when the lump is bolted to a decent exhaust system. I'm sure whether you buy a 350 or 370 you'll be more than chuffed with your car .

Installed the moment I got home from picking the Z up yesterday. Fits nice & snug, workmanship is top notch . http://www.mrv6.co.uk/350z/20160917_181248.jpg

Whilst under the Z yesterday at the garage, I noticed some kind of solenoid / valve with an armature connected to what I could remember it being the rear ARB or droplink area. I thought this may have had something to do with VDC, but my Z has ESP. Googling throws up a possible yaw sensor? You can tell this newbie has a lot of Z to learn .

Very long story cut very short, the Z is now home with me. I've already fitted the RDX aerial & boot divider from Ian. Also have a K&N panel filter with original airbox. I've uploaded a few photos here: http://www.mrv6.co.uk/350z/ They're not the best as they were taken on the phone, but more will follow. I now believe the colour code to be KY0, Chrome silver. I am looking at getting the alloys powder coated in a gun metal grey at some point. At the moment I just want to enjoy the car as the garage has had it for 10 days, whereas I've had it for 4 . It was towed back to them a week last Thursday as the clutch slave cylinder was playing up. They fitted a new Nissan part but the hose is on back order, so I sent them one from Horsham Developments to fit. Up on the ramp today I could see the new parts. They had a hard time bleeding it, which I knew they would so I sent them some guides from the net. After a quick wash with Autosmat Duet & dried with an Uber drying towel, it's now nice & clean. Over the coming weeks I plan to DA the car, clay it & de-tar it before deciding whether to settle for Wolfs Body Wrap or Soft99 Fusso Coat Light. I've already polished the rear boxes of the Ark system with Mothers polish. Windscreen has been clayed with Sonus green clay & polished with Duragloss Nu-glass 755. Also fitted a pair of new Trico flat blades that seem so superior to the wire framed blades.

I was in stealth mode stood in a car park, don't ask, when an orange Z drove past on Wood Lane. Didn't get the reg, sorry..

Long story I won't bore you all with . I had it for 4, the garage had my Z for 10 days . H-Dev sent the HEL slave hose direct to the garage to be fitted & I've now got the use of my Z back. Thanks to those I spoke to on the phone, sorry I don't remember your names, but you were all most helpful .

Can I get a brushed one, with no paint on the 350Z engraving, but red gear numbers please?

Seems every breakers yard with these cars in already has them sold. Does anyone have a genuine pair for sale? Unless there's an aftermarket equivalent that doesn't look ebay or chavvy, I could be waiting some time.

Many thanks to Ian, who kindly sent me my divider today. I like the stealthy look so went for a black Z. Thanks once again, will be installed soon as the Z is back .
