  1. Trick of the light. It's a Pearl paint, so from some angles panels can look different colours. I know this for sure as I had my 350z in white from the factory and it could look like this in some lights from some angles.
  2. Oh, and still check the ECU for any error codes! We could all be barking up the wrong tree, and taking 5 mins to read the codes could throw up what your issue is
  3. If key is remotely unlocking the car, it shouldn't need synching. Worth a try though. Again, there is a How To in the Guides section. Try that.
  4. Before you go to all the trouble, get hold of a battery that you absolutely know is a good one - ie you have seen it start another car. The NATS system very very rarely just stops working. As said above, you need to check for any error codes. There is a guide in the Guides section on how to do a "pedal dance" to get the codes up by using the indicator flash sequence. If it comes up clear, it is highly unlikely that it's a NATS issue. In fact, IIRC if the does not recognise your key, it wouldn't even attempt to start the car - ie no "chugging" as you described it. Does the key remote unlock the doors? I am leaning towards a battery issue still.
  5. can you imagine how many emails and PM's Abbey get a day? It would be a full time job just to sift through them all, and that is time the staff need to spend working on cars, ordering parts, speaking to owners one to one on the phone. When contacting any business, don't just rely on email. Call and leave messages if they don't answer.
  6. Split the light unit yourself, dry out, reseal.
  7. Wheels are a very individual thing. If you like them, you get them. I had Dotz Hanzos on my 350. Everyone hated them when I posted up a link. But once fitted, they got a lot of positive comments as they suited what I had done to the Zed with the Amuse nose. However - check offsets are correct and you won't need huge spacers. And as for Wolfrace quality - I see a lot of badly corroded sets around. But then badly corroded OEM wheels are common too.
  8. It could be an issue with the 4 wheel steer causing the pull. If the HICAS on a 300zx or Skyline is only slightly out it causes a dramatic pull to the side. Oh.....and you're moving to Oz?! I must have missed something. This place will finally be quiet!
  9. Or bookmark the New Content page. Then when you come to the forum it opens on new content. Then on the left hand side, near the bottom of the options list, click "items I participate in" Job done, and only one click.
  10. Good to meet you too mate. I should have had that engine away, but no chance of it fitting in the 300zx! I'll bring the overalls, you provide the tea. Job done.
  11. Everytime you say "V8" I get a semi. I'll bring the Neutrarust with me tonight and you can do a wee test patch on the chassis rail and see what you think of it.
  12. Bollocks, I just skipped both my old ones when I had a sort out of the garage a week ago! Sorry mate, that doesn't help you in the slightest.
  13. I had 2 sets on my RX8 and 2 on my 350z. Never had any reason to dislike them. The feedback was excellent, and I knew exactly what was going on at all times no matter how spirited my driving was. I had Tein SuperStreet fitted (to both cars) so suspension was pretty stiff and probs masked any sidewall lean. But to be honest, the grip and feedback, far out weighed any of the negatives a little tyre roll would give.
  14. You can do damage to the gearbox linkage doing it as simply as that. You must use grips to hold the shaft in place. Wrap gear stick in towel Grup with pliers or mole grips Unscrew the gear knob whilst using some pressure on the mole rips to counter act any torque you are putting onto the shaft. Reverse the procedure when putting on new one and tightening it.
  15. As with anything like this, the key is to prep properly. The better the prep, the better the finish.
  16. Get it from http://www.matt-pack.co.uk/
  17. They're normally just a small Allen hex head. No special key needed
  18. The actual Brembo colour is Honda Inca Pearl Y-61p
  19. You could coat them with a heat treat base paint, then apply the humbrol as a top coat. Not sure how many tins you'd need like. But you can get it for £1 a tin.
  20. How much do you need? Humbrol model Paint is an exact match . I put a post up ages ago in the FAQ. I think from memory it's number 11

  23. Indeed I did, and you deserved them both You've been a good boy since, and thus had no more. Which is what the system is designed for. Job done.
