So what happened when you cleaned up that connector? Sounds like you've isolated it.

The only thing I can think of is the audio equipment. :lol: The Mercedes probably does. It wasn't even built in Germany! :lol:

Hi Mark, Firstly, rear screens aren't bad for removing providing the glass guys take care (mine's been in and out about 3 times). Front screens are terrible and will almost always break as they're toughened rather than tempered like the rest of the glass is and windscreens are on an 8+ week lead time. Double check the tint of your glass too, I am sure when I saw it at Jimmer's, I noted it having a different tint to the rest of the car, so now might be a good time to get matching hatch glass; apologies if I'm mistaken. Roof trims are all still available from Nissan, CZP, Z1, allcarpartsfast, MJP etc. Door mouldings on the other hand are slightly different. Nissan list the front ones, however the rear quarter window trims are part of the window assembly. Again, providing the glass guys take their time, these shouldn't be an issue to remove. KurumaZ do replica replacement door mouldings however including the rear one which you'll need to re-bond to the window surround. Rear screen, I'd advise replacement of ALL trim pieces (whilst still available), especially the lower one as they go hard and shrink. When you take the door glass out (very easy to remove once the door card is off, you should also replace the rollers. Inexpensive and straight forward to fit. Clean and regrease the runners. As for Nissan part number resource, look at http://nissan4u.com/ Check on http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk for pricing and possible availability.

Ordered a brand new pair of Bosch horns from a P12 Primera through allcarpartsfast as one of mine has stopped working. They use the same single-pin connector and they weren't that expensive. You can buy cheap ones on ebay, but I just fancied these as I know they'll last and I don't have to add an earth terminal. I have another pair that I bought second hand that I have cleaned up and painted the metal backing with if anyone wants them (gratis). They're a direct swap for the weedy little horns that come as standard on the Z32.

Yes yes, no doubting that. At least I don't have Chinese tail lights. :lol: ;)

:lol:

Get yourself a 3rd brake light Gary, you know it makes sense. ;)

Not confirmed. There's been no official press release from Nissan. It's unfortunately still all speculation.

Americans would go **** crazy over that.

I make time to eat. :lol:

As long as you're all happy I'm sure the punishment is worth it.

The irony.....as you're the one responding to it all. :lol: On a sensible note, hope all is going well with the little one. :)

....ps, there's plenty you can tell. Here's a stock caliper, not only has the lettering been removed but so has the main moulding on the top, not just that, but the sides have also been rounded off. It's had more than just a 'little shave'.....all to fit a set of cheap wheels....it's arse about face, it's gone too far. I can't even believe you're trying in some way to stick up for this. :lol:

Bloody hell dude, get some more sleep. I guess fatherhood is taking its toll. :lol: ;)

This!!! - - - Updated - - - Get some glasses! You not even seen the rear ones too? :lol:

I'll still put mine in. I want to know when things need replacing that could be overlooked or unknown.

You sound like someone with nostrils on his bonnet. :lol: Doesn't mean it's good practice. :lol: That rear caliper in particular is shocking. I wouldn't risk it, no way and yes, it's not unheard of to slightly trim a caliper, but that's had plenty taken out of it and the sides curved.

....came across this on Facebook earlier. Dude wanted to shave the 'NISSAN' logo off of his calipers so that the wheel wouldn't hit it. Nothing wrong with filing down just the logo although not something I'd do. Looks like he's gone waaayyyy too far though. :lol: Taken off quite a bit too much material, especially over the top of those fluid gallaries. Rears are worse - structural integrity weakened significantly.

Thanks dude, appreciate it. :)

:lol: It steered me away from the app and asked me for a login so thought it might be that dreary page of awfulness. :lol:

If that's the poorly named 'UK 300zx NISMO' page, it's the worst thing. :lol: Much better staying here. Better information and no cretins. :)

Mine hasn't gone up at all in the past 5 years. Maybe a few quid, but nothing I notice. £100 isn't much, but I guess when you're Insurance is only £200 a year, that's a 50% increase which is unjustifiable.

Yeah there's a shit load of salt on the roads down south, looking forward to a day of heavy rain to wash it all away. I am desperate to get my Z out, but it really isn't worth it. My Merc needs a new windscreen now from flying rocksalt, easy to get hold of, Z glass is a minimum of 8 weeks.

Nice work. BBS LM are my favourite wheels. I would say that as I have them on my Z albeit in 19" flavour. :) I also imported my wheels from Japan, they were very hard to find in the spec I wanted as BBS don't actually make the 9" and 10" widths in our bolt pattern anymore. You've gone for a square setup by the looks of it. 10" at the front is going to be a tight squeeze, they should fit but you might need to roll the top of the arch depending on what offset they are.

With that field of thought, it makes me wonder why you even bothered with a VG in that case. :lol: ;)
