Strut: Now Sold

K&N: Now Sold

im interested in the summit strut mate, where abouts north you going? might be able to collect if your anywhere near me

Hi,

Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire - actually thats probably not classed as up north is it, but you know - above the Thames!

Hey all,

Been a while since I've been on, but hope all is good. A sad day was had by me last weekend when I traded in the Z - due to an impending first child, had to get practical! Before I let them have it though, I took off the modifications I have made in the hope that some of you may be interested in them.

Firstly -K&N Typhoon System - Looking for £150, paid £250 new.

Been on the car for a year now, and have simply loved the sound change - and the look of the chrome under the bonnet. Its not as new, but its far from in bad condition. Biggest thing is a little corrosion around the powdercoated parts such as the air box and the brackets, but nothing too bad by any means. Its all there, including the fittings and bolts etc + the original packing slip and instructions:

Secondly - Summit Strut Brace (Front) - Looking for £100, paid £200 new.

Again, been on for a year - in good condition, couple of scratches but nothing serious. Makes a great change from the standard job which isn't great in my opinion. The summit also weighs a lot less than that cast iron job!

Finally - Standard Stereo - Offers

I swapped it over for an aftermarket stereo as it has the dead channel problem - just like they all have. Might be worth something to someone though so please make me an offer if you want it - good condition apart from the sound problem on one side.

I'll either take a bank transfer or you can pay in cash when you collect. No problem shipping any of it, expect to pay about a tenner per item if you want it shipped. If anyone wants help fitting the Strut Brace or K&N and they collect I don't mind fitting it with you as I've obviously put it on and taken it off now. Then again if I can do it then anyone can! I am away up North Wednesday and Thursday this week, so can only post Monday if someone buys today, or Tuesday if you buy tomorrow (and payment has cleared). Anyone wishing to collect, you can do this any time this week as my wife will be home - Swindon in Wilts, about 5 mins off the M4 J15.

Thanks for reading - and thanks for all the help I had from members on here over the last year - it was great meeting some of you at various meets, I'll miss the community and comradery as much as the Z.

Cheers

Chris.

I'm liking that mate, very nice..

Nice photos in there

I'll have to make a proper effort next year

Apologies, im out - superflu today after a serious session last night

I'm still in - anyone have a postcode for the 02 arena? Or is that now the name of the millenium dome?

iama confused

Any offers before they go the way of ebay?

Hi,

Selling my Rays as I have some new wheels. I have transferred the tyres over, so there are none on them. You can get a full set of Falkan 452's for the ~£350 mark that last well and have a good amount of grip.

I will also be selling my 20mm all round Eibach Pro Spacers, however I need to get my new spacers first so these will be up for sale once the Rays have gone - however AdrianK has first dibs on them

Some Pics:

As you can see they're are in pretty good condition, with just minor surface kerbing on the outer rim, spokes are all good. I have cared for them while in the time I've had them with lots of autoglym wax and poor boys sealant.

Looking for £430 collected, they are boxed up and ready to go - and you can get them all four in the zed in the boxes, 2 on the passenger seat and 2 in the boot!

Can't accept paypal, but happy for you to do a bank transfer or cash / cheque - but it has to clear first.

Please PM with me any questions etc.

Cheers,

Chris

Congrats Swindon!

Cheers, the one nearest to where I live has already been removed

Guys,

Sorry but can't make it now - have to go up to our Newcastle site tonight as we've got problems at work.

Will hopefully make the next one, have fun I'll be there in spirit

Chris

Hi mate, you have a PM.

If I get another set I will be up for those work emotions, lovely wheel :-)

 

Am not feeling the first set Clarce, 2nd not bad... you up for 18's or 19's? And you got a type (thick 5 spoke I guess!) and a budget?

 

Also, as you have a GM those wheels may look better on there...

Hi 3FIDDYZ,

I've gone off the 1st set now - they're just too bland. However I do like the 2nd set, and like that 2nd picture I do also have a GM..

Budget - probably upto what Rota's cost without tyres, cheapest I've found for 18"s is 725. That said, I've gone off rota's as I don't want to get the same as everyone else..

I was looking at 18"s to save me throwing away the £400 I just spent on new tyres

Here's another set that I've been looking at also - think these look better than the BK's..

 

 

 

Dont think I should give wheel advice but you do have a pm with some info

Cheers martin, received

Here's another set that I've been looking at also - think these look better than the BK's..

Me again, still on the wheel hunt..

What do you think of these?

A rough pic with them on

A rough pic of the standard GT4 for comparitive purposes..

Cheers once again,

Chris.

What/Where is green park mate?

+1 ?

Might be good to all arrive together as the 350Z congregation, the only place I can think of is Reading services > London bound - but guess that may not suit all?

the 350z Performance doesn't have the Brembo brakes,

 

that may be where the clearance issue is

I see

Cheers for the heads up

According to a USA site, they will fit a 350Z Performance? Done a quick search for that but not yielding much - I might just get them anyway, and then if they're wrong I won't unwrap them and will return under distance selling act..

I suspect that as they haven't been tried, they are nervous about doing it - thoughts?

Ok, they're telling me that they won't fit

If the stud pattern is correct, the offset is et35 and the size is 18x8.5J all the way around, how exactly will they not clear the brakes? Bearing in mind I also have 20mm spacer at the mo..

Any advice appreciated, I was this '' close to hitting the buy button..

That red ebay car does look nasty lol

You ain't kidding..

wow they look cool!

 

Are they forged though ?

Everyone seems to go on about how heavy normal cast alloys are compared to forged? You never know it may effect the fuel economy of the Zed!

Not forged by the look of it, but surely can't be that much difference in weight?

They're are quite cheap - £470 (no tyres) - so not sure, but thought this might be a good thing to do simply so I'm not adding Rota's like a lot of people have done already..

Heres a pic, I think they'll look good... What do you think?

Much appreciated,

Chris
