rear mudflaps
basicially want either. The car has just been repainted and the bodyshop owner recommended I put on rear flaps as with the width of the tyres, it wouldn't take long before it would be marking the underside of the rear bumper. So a few pm's floating about to members on here that have some

rear mudflaps
Do these exist? Looked at ebay and a few Nissan sites and none are coming up. they come up in the usa diagrams as oem parts. Ive just got the car back from the bodyshop and he says to make sure to get rears to protect the bumper as its going to get a lot of crap flung at it. thanks guys

which exhaust is preference
Hi Richard. Basically after a decent system that looks decent and sounds good but without spending loads on it it thought 300-400 would get me a decent set up from the cats back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few phone calls in the morning I doubt. Have to recheck when I'm back home prices on both sites. I assume this is a good enough exhaust for the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi dan. I'm an independent mortgage analyst with 25 years experience under my belt. So have seen so many changes and regulations, a lot of others have jacked or being thrown out of the business. also financial services for my clients on a one-one basis with the clients known as much as me with the time I spend with them. Hate fly by night financial advisors.

Yea that's the house I built in 2005. Funny u say that the brother in law wants to buy it and I'm looking at a few tourer type bikes. Wanted a Harley night rider but getting too much jip from the rest of the guys in the club. So maybe a BMW gs1200 or a triumph Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

would agree. I was looking for a solid one for almost 2 years and stumbled on this one. Its a great we car to drive and reasonable quick for a twin cam. Just have to watch the back end, very twitchy . interior in it is mint. Had the engine and gearbox rebuilt 8 years ago when I restored it and never missed a bat since. only the 300zx to get completed and get loads of pics up here of it,

New member from N.I.
Hi Brian and welcome to the forum from another newbie. These cars in my limited experience have issues and to some degree because of the power of them, tend to be thrashed more than other cars of the same vintage. The sills at the bottom of the rear quarters are very proned to rust, as are the arches and the inner cills near the floorpans. take you time and go over them very carefully. I've had two and opted for the na for that exact reason you've said and they aren't that much slower with a 60 mph speed limit !!! ( in second). Mechanicially they are good. coil packs and the wiring to them tend to give issues. Heating Hoses are forever letting go and causing issues, so again for a few pounds do what I've done and changed the ones around the back of the engine. A few engines have had major problems but reading the threads on this forum, its nearly cheaper to buy a second hand engine, rather than get into a load of work for the ordinary road use car. Best of luck finding one but as Gary has said, better choice on the mainland as very few come up for sale. If a member on here was selling one, I'd tend to go for it as most are genuine and have had a lot on money spent on them getting the gremlins sorted.

Replacment arch and sill panels
I have a o/s rear sill repair panel I bought of this guy but don't need it as it was easier for the bodyshop to make a panel than use this one. I gave £60 plus delivery so if I get this for it, you can have it. regards Derek

Rear lights fitted
Hi Gary, very good fit and apart from stripping out half the trim to get to the end nuts, fitted very neat and lined up extremely well with the rear panel and quarters. so very happy with the finished result. now to replace the scuttle panel and wiper arms blades etc tonight and tidy her up around the base of the screen.
