    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Whiteline lower compression arm bush fitting So those of you that have been following this thread or who have read it recently may know that the zed's recent P3 service flagged up two issues to be rectified with the car; passenger side compression arm bush had 'debonded' and the exhaust was...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Thanks [emoji106] I doubt that I would have been able to buy the handles from Nissan for less than £100 and then they would have just been damaged the same again. Besides, I think it's much more satisfying doing the job yourself!

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    So today I finally round to getting my freshly painted interior door handles/satnav insert. As you may have realised by now I am very thorough and although most of you probably know how to remove these I thought I would post the step by step (give or take a few steps!) guide of how to get the...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    This weekend was the zed's first service of my ownership and unfortunately it had to be the big one - a P3! As I have probably mentioned in here somewhere I really struggled to find somewhere to get it serviced; West End Motors in Bodmin wanted far too much money and we don't really have many...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    UPDATE - POST 2 of 2 I then got a bit bored of cleaning the zed (believe it or not!) and turned my attention to finally getting my hands on some spacers! In the end I managed to get both 25mm and 30mm spacers from people on here. When I got both sets they were both in need of a good clean up...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    UPDATE - POST 1 of 2 It's been a while since I updated this thread and I have been busy with a few little tweaks since I last posted. Over the last couple of weeks I managed to gather a RDX stubby aerial, 25mm and 30mm spacers as well as other service related items (boring!). So onto the...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    So on Friday I picked these up from the Post Office:- My £1.04 Cosworth Filters , which turned out to be in unused condition - bargain! Over the weekend I set about replacing whatever the previous owner had put in at the Zed's last service (OEM filter as it turns out!), which actually...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Update Finally, after weeks of deliberation and attempting to prioritise what I was going to do next to the Zed, I listed my 'old' Rays on eBay in order to recoup some money to purchase my cousin's old Rays from him. Ideally, I wanted to simultaneously buy and fit 30mm/25mm whilst I had the...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    UPDATE As a keen 'detailer', one of the jobs that was at the top of the list was to give the car a machine polish to get rid of all the swirls and marring that the Zed had picked up prior to my ownership! I had previously attempted machine polishing before with a rotary on my old Clio 182...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Update (Albeit a small one!) Over the course of the last week I have scoured eBay long and hard to find LEDs to replace all the orange-tinged bulbs. I also was after a very very bright LED to replace the bulb the feeble excuse of a reversing light... Pictures speak louder than words...

    Update - Aux 'Hack So today I set about finally getting an aux input into the zed. I followed the 'how to' guide on here (http://www.350z-uk.c...pod-hack-guide/) but decided to put my own spin on it and bought a 3.5mm jack socket. The hardest decision was where to mount it in the car... at...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Update *PIC HEAVY* When I bought the car it had a few niggly things wrong with it; little stuff like scratched interior door handles and the drivers door vent was broken. So I immediately got on ebay and 350-uk in order to find an 'intact' door vent. Unfortunately there was only 1 available on...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    No doubt it would be, I am just unsure whether or not I will start modding just yet! [emoji17] Thanks, unfortunately though I have to say the pictures make the paintwork seem a LOT better than it is... Ideally I would like to machine polish it but I have heard that this nissan paint isn't the...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    Hmm not sure about that as I would have to buy two induction kits because of the HR layout, and I think I have read that its similar to the 182 in that induction kit actually lowers the BHP :confused: +1 I have a few, not sure if it shows it off all that well mind :smile: And on GTR wheels...

    Thanks guys 😌 I much prefer the coupe... the convertible does not look good at all imo. Pffft how do you expect me to stop :smile: To be honest there is very little in it insurance wise, not sure why though! And tbh with you I enjoy it a lot more, definitely more comfortable, but it...

    Conor's Night Blue 350z

    So after months and months of deliberation I decided that it was time to part ways with the 182. I had 2 good years with the old bird, and she treated me well; I think the most money it cost me was on the bloody exhaust joint umpteen times (those who have followed my "progress" thread and have a...

    Anybody able to recommend exhaust specialist in the SW?

    Wondering if someone could point me in the direction of an exhaust specialist who will be able to weld a sleeve on my Cat to Backbox join... fed up of this leaky Scorpion :o Conor.

    Brake Pedal Issues

    With the engine off the pedal has the travel until it's pumped And I got a garage to do it so I am not sure, I think it was done through the old method of having some on pump the pedal in the car

    Brake Pedal Issues

    I have recently had the brake lines flushed with ATE Super Blue, and the brake pedal bite itself is great, but I am finding that the pedal travels a bit without any actual braking as such. I did a bit of reading on several posts and there has been some pointing to air in the ABS pump, but...

    Conor's Arctic Blue 182FF

    Sorry, bit of confusion, its leaking from the cat join which the scorpions are infamous for! No permanent fix without modifying the joint

    Conor's Arctic Blue 182FF

    Been too long since I have posted in here... But unfortunately there hasn't been much to post about! Car had is MOT and passed it, only needing a track rod end doing and so didn't cost me much for a change :p And today I had the fluid flushed with some ATE Super Blue fluid, which has resulted...

    Headlight Beam Adjustment

    Seem to have run into a spot of bother... When fitting my KTR induction kit, I managed to know the headlight adjustment motor out, at the time I didn't see this as a problem. Just whacked the motor back in and finished the job. However, when driving that same evening, the headlight seemed to...
