Beavis Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Been reading this with interest but getting a little confused. I’ve seen the Holdcroft lights on ebay for £229.99 + £8.99 delivery.Since they give members a 20% discount I assume the total delivered cost will be £229.99 – 20% = £183.99 + £8.99 = £ 192.98. Why pay £240? Or am I missing something I share your confusion - it was a while ago but I paid £199 for my rear lights from Holdcroft just after the MY06 came out and I can't fathom why they are now seemingly MORE expensive they should be cheaper And the last time Holdcrofts had a run on these they did them for £176.99, i know because i was one of those that had some. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ear+lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryprowler Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I spoke to Holdcrofts about 8 weeks ago. They wouldnt honour a member discount on the tail lights at all. He pointed me at their Ebay shop. They did do a good discount on the price of the BT adaptor tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Not sure, but this is almost a favour to Zed car owners and giving you the chance to rid the world of nasty Mk1 tail lights!! Nissan and Alex do genuine UK spec LED's, the rest seem to be imports and need modifications. If it was me I would buy off Alex (even though it may be a couple more quid) as hes known in the world of Zed and did this last time as a favour... For anyone that dosnt read the OC forum will know what this guy dosnt know about Zeds is not worth knowing, and if you havnt seen his new rocket ship then you should. Its 500bhp+ of pure racing power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 500bhp+ of pure racing power... This is all fair comment and some people prefer to have the 'genuine article' but it is also fair to say that the 'rest' as you describe them require only minor modification - at most the ability to wire an electrical junction connector, at least the ability to use a Stanley knife and IF there was a significant price differential (as there used to be - see above) then some people might prefer that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 ill try speak with holdcroft for you guys tomomrrow see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Luke Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah let us know how you get on with Holdcroft, i'm pretty tempted by a set of the ones Alex is selling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Just got off the phone to Steve at Holdcroft ref the rear lights. Their quoted price for the pair is £237.64 incl of vat and delivery. Apparently there taking 35% off as the usual retail price would be £361.82. He confirmed that they are Nissan originals and that a small amount of plastic has to be cut from the connecting plug. Didn’t get into group buys as Shire 350Z is going down that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Nope, Alex dosent cut a thing. His are genuine UK spares....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 yeah holdcrofts are but they say because ours is a pre MY06 the wiring is slightly different so doesnt matter where you get them from its how the block is on the wiring loom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 yeah holdcrofts are but they say because ours is a pre MY06 the wiring is slightly different so doesnt matter where you get them from its how the block is on the wiring loom Totally plug and play from the factory. No cutting or soldering required. Fit 2003 up. JDM or U.K. models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither has there been a change on the UK block on the light fitting. The fact is that the US cars have a different block. I think the JDM cars are the same as UK but they could be the same as the US. I dont know on that one. Nissan would only have 2 blocks, one for US and one for everywhere else. It wouldnt make sense for them to have loads of different options.... Thats why Holdcrofts are 1/2 the price of the UK retail, and why Alex is doing his at no profit cause this is what Nissan dealers pay in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of plastic had to be shaved of the plug, unless these were US clusters? Any how must not complain at £176.99 for the pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
