  1. Has anyone experienced squeaks and rattles coming from the dashboard? its very common, unfortunately for a multitude of reasons as pingu says its difficult to pin down when its at the rear of the dash if you can pinpoint it to trim then you can use draught excluder to cushion where trim contacts
  2. LEAVE THE BOOT BROKEN !!! that way she cant go shopping !
  3. The thing to remember is that not all paint protection film is Paintshield film. I also understand that Paintshield is just the UK (European) arm of the company (X-Pel) and as such wouldn't be the guys who did the work in NZ. I highly recommend Paintshield and would never buy a car without it (I have had two done now). it never gets warm enough in the uk to bake bugs

    Which wheels

    you dont fancy some nismo wheels danny ? very light and an improvement on the standard set up, or are they not dished enough ? you can get them for a good price on ebay (new)
  5. not really the camber will only tell the angle of the wheel, you should be able to find out the offset of your wheels, its normally stated in the for sale info
  6. he's just had his aerial nicked ! he doesnt need you calling him names !
  7. there must be millions of "non stubby's" floating around peoples sock draws put an APB out in the wanted section for a n/a aerial (this is if you dont fancy a stubby ?) bloody low life !!! i hope they poke em selves in the eye wth it
  8. Clearance will depend on the offset of the wheel. What does offset mean again basically the offset will determine how your wheels "stick out" or dont, which in turn will affect how much they are likely to rub if you slam the car

    Ive heard that but apparently the new GT-R is rolling on 20's and the performance on that certainly has not been hindered yup the difference being that the car was prob developed to use 20's so the suspension steering etc is dialled in for it Ahh, so if you get 19's on the Z and change the whole set up of the car so that it will accomidate the wheels in motion, it could in theory perform as well as if it was on 18's? Would be pointless with how much money youd have to spend I know but its just so I understand hmm in theory.. yes but just consider the 10's of pounds that datsun spend on R&D with a new car !! testing and developing all the supension, chassis etc etc etc BUT their development is always a compromise between comfort and performance you COULD get it to perform much better but at the cost of comfort til they have only 40p left in the budget to do the interior

  11. have you checked for play on the wheel bearings and wheel nuts (may sound daft but it has been known) ? check the bushes on the suspension , the driveshaft is definitely a click not a clunk when does it clunk ? acceleration deceleration braking rough roads potholes
  12. i did mine recently, changed them to clear reflectors (the 06-07 are different) its a pita that the front bumper has to come off but it isnt as bad as it looks once you've done it, i tried everything and there is absolutely no way you can access them without the bumper off its fairly straight forward the worst bolts are where it attachs to the wings
  13. Will he be Lianne when its finished??? I heard he wanted to get away from that and be called Rachel in a homer voice > " its funny cos its true "
  14. what exhaust ? you have a nismo

  19. i remember there was a big fuss when this was launched and then ....nothing
  20. Actually £176.99 link below http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ear+lights that price was a year ago You have a point , they will be at least £500 now. there does seem to be about a £50 difference for what they sell them for now without p&p tbh
