Front windscreens
Got a question.
Would a UK 350Z front windscreen fit a V35 or would i have to get a windscreen shipped in from Japan?
I ask this as i got a pretty bad stone chip yesterday and hopefully it can be repaired but just in case of the worst case senario where i need a new windscreen i was hoping that with the areo-dymanic similarities of the two cars and part sharing etc would mean i could just get a Z one in place and save a lot of hassle.

Thanx for your reply Andy, don't worry, I know what forums are like, I'm on mkivsupra.net every ten minutes (so my wife says) and I still miss stuff 
Still looking about, still no black ones to tempt me, but still not 100% sure I want to own such a rare car (due to potential problems with parts etc).
Still looking at Evo's, Scoobys etc but keep coming back to the 350GT as it's such a good looking 4 seater car.
Will keep my eye out for a meet where I can come and have a natter.
Cheers

Yes, I've heard black ones are tricky to get hold of. Perhaps there aren't many around cos they're a bitch to keep clean
. Yeah! The satnav issue is a huge one. Better off getting one without it or stripping it out and fitting an aftermarket one. It's a shame though cos I think the popup screen is so cool
.
I'd recommend one anyway, cos I love driving mine
.
When I first started looking at the 350GT, I got mixed feedback. In fact on one forum it started a bit of a heated debate (you know the one...."is it a Skyline or not"). But now I've found this cool bunch of guys on here, and also my local *** Car Club, problem solved .

Not sure of all the parts you'll need, but this page might help
http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...dle=2&small=13
Let me know before and if you place an order, cos I may be interested in the same parts

Thanks for the tip Tom. I'm just a bit worried that it won't be compatible with Japanese wiring. I've been told that the wiring on our cars is different from European and American wiring. I may be wrong.

OK, so who was that in a Silver 350GT in Ashtead, Surrey on Sunday afternoon? If it was one of you guys, sorry but I would have turned around and stopped you to say hi, but I was the lead vehicle in a convoy and the others were really keen to get back to Worthing. Nice looking motor.

evening guys just back with the rac (flatbed) just got on the M1 sliproad everything fine noticed a funny rumbling then all of a sudden a box of nuetrals the guy from the rac says its the clutch or drive shaft which is fair enough, but it seems electric it hit 100 then felt like a limiter then 80 the same again then nothing ive had clutches go before and there normally gradual but any info would be appreciated as its a bad time to be shafted by a garage
