Infiniti at Braehead no longer exists. They were the Nissan luxury brand and were opposite the Audi dealership. Where they were is now a Ferrari dealer. When I got my 370Z 2 years ago I took out the dealer 2 year service and MOT package. This meant using Arnold Clark’s. Their Nissan servicing is done by their Dumbarton branch. Macklin motors in Glasgow city centre is the other Nissan dealer. Their dealership is within the Glasgow ULEZ tho so may not be suitable. Now that my service pack from Clark’s has expired I’ll be looking for somewhere else to use for my regular servicing.

Thanks Davey.

What is the best way to remove Carbon fibre mirror covers? I managed to misalign one when installing it and would like to remove it and reinstall. What type of 3M tape do I need to buy to reinstall? These are the Nismo covers.

Thanks - I’ll have a look at the stubby guns and the angled lance.

Any recommendations for an angled lance to fit to the Karcher K4 pressure washer? Amazon has a lot of generic Chinese manufactured examples in the £15-20 range.

Thanks. would your recommend taking the pads off to check for contamination, or just spraying some brake cleaner in?

My 2018 Nismo has just over 20K miles on it. I’ve noticed that the discs on the drivers side are scored and this scoring can be felt when running a finger over the brakes when cold. In comparison the passenger side discs have little to no scoring. I can hear a slight rubbing noise under braking but only when I have the radio turned off. Am I looking at new discs and pads or just new pads? Given I have a Nismo, I’m assuming it would be Akebeno fit I’d be looking for?

Varis Japan new front lip for 370Z Nismo at TAS.

I had an F10 BMW 520D for 10 years. Got it new in 2012 and sold it last year when I bought my 370Z. Absolute tank of a machine. Only mechanical issues I had were left near side wheel bearing went twice and had to replace the rear spring on the right hand side. With the introduction of the LEZ’s in various cities try and get a Euro6 engine.

Varis are unveiling a new aero kit for the 370Z Nismo Mk2 at Tokyo Auto Salon next month.

I’ve found there’s no consistency with orders from Japan with regards to Customs fees. Some orders get charged them, some don’t.

I’ve been looking at potential replacements for the OEM Shift knob on my 370, including the Nismo, Billetworkz and Raceseng options. One that I kept looking at was the OEM shift knob fitted to the new Z, however the only places I had seen it available were in the US for a few hundred dollars plus shipping and charges. I then saw that Nengun were starting to get new Z parts, and contacted them to see if they could get the part. A day later they came back to say they could and what the price was. Order placed and then the wait for them to get it in stock and to send it to me. Finally received it during the week and then had some time to install it today. Getting the old shift knob off was a job and a half. Even following all the tips on YouTube, still ended up destroying the old one. Anyways, enough waffle, a pic of the new Z shift knob installed in my 370Z Nismo.

Got mine installed today. To anyone due to get 1, once you remove the protective wrap that’s been applied to prevent scratching, give it a wipe with an isopropyl alcohol or similar to remove any glue residue from the wrap. Another thing to note is the overflow pipe is a very tight fit to get back on.

The AutoTrader vids I’ve seen with Rory Reid and female host who I don’t know name of have been good.
