1. My windows, driver and passenger side have these little metal round things in the middle of which when you wind the windows down, they come into contact with the rubber seals and they are begining to perish.. is there a site or a shop or something where you can buy replacement ones?

 

2. Just below the rear Spoiler, there is the panel which I'm sure i've seen people putting brake lights into, this is also the same panel where my oem "Nissan Fairlady Z" sticker (which is starting to peel off) is. Where can you get a replacement one? and what is it made out of?.. it seems to be laminated or something and water is getting in behind it?.. That is the sticker and the panel

 

3. T-Top roof bags, are they essential?.. and if I bought the bags.. would I need some sort of straps to hold them down in the boot? do you keep them in the boot?

 

4. My lighter is missing, I have found some replacement ones on e-bay.. are these like the oem ones? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=170267901711

 

5. Can you buy a Double Din panel for the head units? if so, where?

 

6. Finally (For Now) What are the best size "Rims" for the Z? I have always been under the illusion that 16's are amazing.. but I have seen people here with 18's and 19's?.. what is the best all rounder? - I am assuming this one could be all oppinion based, but still I would like to know your thoughts.

 

Thanks guys!

 

:D

anwsers to questions 3 and 5

 

3. bags arnt essential, but they stop the glass getting scratched/broken if they are in the boot, also yes there should be straps in there, if your stood at the back of the car looking into the boot the straps form a triangle shape, you should be able to see where the holes in the carpet are.

 

5. yes, but they arn't original and have usually been modded from a twin single din panel, there are companies that mod them (and to a very high standard) but are mighty expensive and are based in japan so are really difficult to deal with, most just mod there own

 

hope this helps

question 6 .. i have had 19's and 18's on my zed and imho 18's are by far the better for the ride and stuff but...................

 

ive seen loads of people saying they havent had any problems with there 19's on :)

I was thinking about 18's, but I was just unsure as 16's are the stock size and thought the extra 2" might affect the car somewhat.

thanks for the info

not really as with the bigger wheels you use a lower profile tyre so basically the wheels are the same size if that makes any sence at all lol
