370Ad Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Looks very dark in the above pictures! Great cleaning work sir. How do your neighbours like the short tails on start up in the morning? Edited May 27, 2014 by 370Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I don't think she likes it but hasn't ever said anything! Especially as it goes in the garage each night which is under the house. To be fair I push it out the garage most mornings to try and keep the noise down as she (neighbour) is a good old egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayster Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 I was looking for some heated seat buttons to fill the blanks on my centre console.. I wondered if anyone has retrofitted heated seats .. I was thinking of putting them on top of the seats I have then getting some decent seat covers?. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=180915661324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayster Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 So I decided to de badge my rear at the weekend - carefully removed the foam and polished residue.. Got me thinking where I could put them back? Any ideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Good work man, mine left a bit of a mark , but I covered it up with a Fairlady badge anyway. Stick it in the bin !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Car's looking good mate! Quick question for you and those that have done it, why the GTR starter button mod? I've not picked my 370 up yet so is it just a better looking one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Lovely! Cheers mate is it just a case of popping the old one out and the new one in? Ye, piece of cake, took about 2 mins You just need a plastic pry tool to gently pop out the old button, unplug the connector and slide it out of its casing then just slide the new button into the casing, clip in the connector block and pop it back in the hole, I was very nervous about changing mine up until I did it I had no idea it would be so straight forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayster Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) So had my first service and MOT today can't believe its nearly a year since I got it.. Good news sailed through MOT no advisories. Decided to have the major service done as wasn't done by Nissan last time when really should have.. They did recommended new rear tyres soon and front brake pads .... so after xmas! Even though I only went to a Main dealer as I have nissan warranty .. I thought the service from Nissan Nottingham (sandicliffe) was actually really good. (Apart from the micra they gave me with 0 miles of fuel in it) I managed to negotiate the price of both the service and mot down and they gave me a free safety pack - not opened but I think it's this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Genuine-Car-Emergency-Breakdown-Safety-Equipment-Kit-Pack-KE93000028-/301089943323 without asking!!! So quite happy. Interestingly they also had an audit yesterday to supply gtr's When leaving this am service lady did say are we allowed to wash your car? As she said we've had two chaps with the same car last week who were very insistent we weren't allowed - "they had polished it or something" 😆 I smiled and said no thanks "I washed it at the weekend" Now where did I put those shortails !!!

sipar69 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The GTR starter button is a great little mod and very easy to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) So with the weather not being ideal I thought best sort the rear tyres so I got a delivery today And having seen the NISMO when my car went in for service - I loved the matt black interior (and as I am unlikely to ever afford one) I have decided to have a go at plastidipping the silver bits black .. Ive also done the cup holder ring too... Edited January 14, 2015 by Brayster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) So after initially worrying..... I have managed to make the 370z work no probs despite us having a baby last year..... Still love it. But I changed jobs this week and now do a 45mile daily commute (mega fun country roads route) as opposed to 7 miles a day.... so I've decided to take a company car with 4 seats in the near future... But when researching or thinking of a sale price .... I can't find any other base models for sale... ... They all seem to be GT or higher... So not a what's it worth question.... but I'm asking how much do you guys is a fair reduction off what would be an equivalent age, mileage etc GT model price. (The base has 18's, no synchro rev, no leather/heated seats or sat nav) Edited August 24, 2016 by Brayster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
