Vengence Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi All I have now got the 350z at home after picking it up from Sheffield & driving it back down the M1 to Barnet yesterday evening (in crap heavy rain so i did not push it). I am very impessed with my 350z and very happy but i have a few questions which i hope you can give some advice on , as i have now had a long motorway drive and had a chance today to really inspect every aspect of the car at home and i found some faults that i want to put right ASAP, The Door card are on the drivers side is a litttle tatty especially where the Window controls are its all scratched and really annoys me to look at it like this (where is a good place to source good used/breakers parts near hertfordshire preferably or on the net (suggestions please). The speaker grill on the passengers side fell off whilst driving home (looks like a broken plastic clip) i assume i will need to order a new one from Nissan dealership,,, !!!!!! The rubber hanbrake gaitor does not fit well at all (i want to replace this ) The gear knob is worn and all i have seen online is a new replacement for £113.00 IS that REALLY the price they are LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!! Lastly i want to refurbish all the Rays Alloys as after close insection they are bubbling in some places with some kerbing as well and i like my cars in as new codition so i am going to raid my Mrs housekeeping this month and treat myself !!!!! Good recomendations on this would be much appreciated ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Also put it into Nissan dealer on for a P1 tomorrow just for peace of mind (are WLG on the Watford Way , Mill Hill any good ,,, anyone used them before,,, Many thanks from a Newbie owner is his early 40s (the guy that i bought it from looked suprised & thought i was buying it for one of my kids LOL, Thx Vengence AKA Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 PM kta ref gear knobs or do a search for lasered gear knobs on here. Got mine from him in brushed ally this week and it's the dogs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 How old is the car, I found Nissan main dealer to be pretty poor with little experience with the zed. I'm based in Watford, and go to japex in Kings Langley (M1 Junc 6) for service or anything else, Ross is a top guy and knows his stuff, also get a discount as a forum member, I would go to see him first, his number can be found using the search button at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengence Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi Boyey My Z is an 2004 , & many thanks for quick reply i will call him tomorrow morning. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Andrew, I bought my car from the dealer you mentioned and I personally don't like them. If you do go to them I'd ask for Peter on the service desk. However, I've been using Japex in Kings Langley (I was there today) and Ross is a good guy - good prices too.

martinmac Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Dont use the dealers for parts, the traders on here will save you a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
