Sold, no longer available

Original exhaust from a 2008 350z HR. This was previously on another forum members car, I'm only selling as I now have an aftermarket one. Between both cars it's done and estimated 55k miles. I had no problems with the exhaust and I've done my best to show condition in the pictures but can take more pics if required. Collection only from Milton Keynes. £100

I have a set of aftermarket depo headlights on my Z, they are for left hand drive / Europe so will most likely fail an MOT here. I've heard of other people with these headlights getting through their MOTs without issue.... The time for a new MOT is nearly here so trying to figure out how other people do it. Do I need a "friendly" MOT centre? If so can anyone recommend someone in or around Milton Keynes?

Interesting idea, I actually have some thin cork sheets I could cut up and layer underneath. Not sure if I should be worried about it potentially being flammable or melty around the hot engine

I've just replaced my battery, I bought exactly the same make and model as was already there but I guess in the last few years they've made it smaller. The bracket no longer holds it firmly down. For now I've put a squash racket grip between the battery and bracket so it will hold. Anyone else had this issue, how did you resolve it? Is there a spacer or something you can buy to raise the battery up a little? Fully prepared for one of you to tell me I am doing something wrong 😂

Hi, is this still available as I might be interested, is there anything extra I would need to have it installed?

Thanks for the offer. I'm in Germany right now and not sure when I'll be back in the UK but if I haven't got this sorted next time I'm back I might take you up on it.

Interesting thought, would there be an issue with having a worse seal when reassembling though? I was hoping to avoid taking everything apart only to find out I do need to buy something then having to put it all back again... If someone has a set sitting around and has the time to check it would be appreciated but the LED lights aren't to expensive and look quite nice so I think I'll just get those. Looks like torqen sell them as well so don't have to rely on a dodgy eBay seller

Thanks for the reply. I am struggling to find a pair of 2nd hand ones from a German / EU car which is why I was looking at the LED ones but I will have one last try to get OEM ones before I buy these

I am going to be exporting my car to Germany. One of the requirements will be for the fog light to be on the left instead of right. I was thinking about buying something like these https://www.ebay.de/itm/233623400174 Then splitting the wire for the fog and reverse lights or extending them to reach the opposite sides. Before I do that though I was wandering if anyone knows can I just take the existing lights, swap the left and the right and turn them upside down? They look like they would fit but I haven't taken the bumper off to have a close look to see if they really are symmetrical like that... Anyone had experience doing something similar?

I am moving to Germany and want to bring my 350z with me. Has anyone ever done this before and know what I need to change to make sure it passes the inspections / TUV etc over there? I was thinking about buying the DEPO headlights which are for left hand drive anyway but am unsure of the ones with smoked lenses will be ok in Germany and am struggling to find any info on it. Does anyone here know?

I replaced my undertray yesterday with one of the torqen ones. Next up I would like to replace the plastic cover that sits a bit further back. Previously some part of it broke off causing the whole thing to start flapping around, I was on a track day at Silverstone at the time and got flagged in for it so I tied it back with some cable ties and it's been "fine" since then. Here's a picture. What's this thing called and where can I get a replacement?

Mine was £230, supplied my own wheel... Royal steering wheels do an option where if they have one in stock they supply the wheel then after fitting you send yours back to them. They have quite a few options of different materials and shaping etc so their costs will depend on what you want.

Nice, yeh royal steering wheels, they've done a v good job. Just found the answer to my question about the torque. 22-28 ft-lb Surprised it wasn't a little higher but looks like I got it right

Fitted my new wheel yesterday but now I am wandering if I tightened the centre bolt enough. Does anyone know what torque it should be at?
