Any idea what wheels are on "Natalies" 350Z?

 

Japan racing dude. Get them from Tarmac Sportz

Ha, just beat me to it.

Wow i'm impressed with my googling, found them - Japan Racing JR-18.

Any idea what wheels are on "Natalies" 350Z?

I'd speak to invidia, they'll probably send you a replacement pipe. How old is the exhaust?

Pot of screws?

I've the Mk2 rear on my 370Z and the Invidia Gemini fits the bumper.

Hahahaha did he flick, roll, wipe or even worse eat?

Ha! The N15 part was more to do with my first name but I guess it could be Nismo or Nissan.

It's on!

I'm really happy with it, transforms the car!

In my opinion you do not require any thing that is not already on the car to install this - just the bumper and the tow cover.

Had a set of mirror covers painted too.

I know it wont be t everyone's taste and not all will agree but I've put the NISMO badges on, I imported them from america a while ago and while I've debated whether to put them on for a while, I decided to go with. I think it finishes the rear nicely and I don't have to worry about filling a hole in the front bumper.

Excuse the crap pictures, I was in a rush to get everything done and get to work.

Last job to do is add some black to the rear of the skirts where it should have been masked off.

Gauge looks great there!

Picked this up today

Excuse the rug.

Just had the call that the rear is ready to collect. I am a little excited.

Cheers mate, i'ts coming together.

What are the logistics of this? do you drop your car off with the for a few days, post your lights to them, exchange basis?

Nismo rear is ready for collection midweek so that shall be going on next weekend.

Fitted the DRL this weekend. pretty straightforward to be honest longest part was running the wiring which was pretty simple.

There is no harness to fit and DRL on the 2012 370 so had to wire them in manually.

I worked out a circuit using a normally closed relay. Power from a 12v source when then ignition is ON will activate the DRL, they will remain on until either the sidelights or main beam are turned on. This also works in the auto position.

Testing the circuit.

All was good so onto the physical part....

Removed the bumper.

These are the location points for the Nismo DRL. 2 x push clips and 1 x spring clip.

The yellow circled portion is from one of the plastic inserts for the Nismo bumper that acts as a guide.

DRL Fitted

I didnt take any pictures of the actual wiring install (boring) but the 12v feed for the ignition on was taken from the fise box in the engine bay and the pin circled in red.

12v to trigger the relax and switch off the DRL when the main beam or side lights come on was taken from the side lights. There are two wires black/yellow and green. The green wire is the 12v.

The final result showing the DRL on and off with the side lights and/or main beam on.

We've agreed the price now and i'll honour it but I have no idea how much they're worth.

Having had a play with the EVO-R DRL I started making some lenses.

I sanded them down and primed them to get rid of the manufacturing injection mould marks but ultimately decided they weren't quite for me.

I have treated myself to a pair of these - and a much lighter wallet.

Just waiting for the rear to come back from paint next week and i'll install the rear and put the DRL in. That will take some wiring via relay to get them working using the auto lights feature. Plan is to have them on with the ignition and off when the main lights come on automatically.

They come in black plastic only. They're currently sanded down and primed ready to paint. Was going to paint them black ready to sell.

They were €330 shipped plus a £44 vat fee and £10 handling fee. So around £290 all in. I'll be putting them up for sale soon.

They were fine but I wanted to make a lens for them. I'd had a quote to get them plated in chrome for an OEM look but that nearly trebled so I've decided to just get the OEM.

They're around 600 each. Crazy!

While I'm at it. Does anyone know the name of this connector type? I need a female end.

I'd ordered some of the EVO-R DRL'S and imported them from the USA. Plan was to create a lens for them and have them chrome plated to make them look more OEM.

Due to spiraling costs I've decided to sell them on and instead these have arrived.

They've cost me a fortune £1k+ but I'm trying to look at them as an investment of sorts as if I ever sell the car I will sell them and the kit on.

Hoping to get them fitted this weekend and the rear next.

Decided I'm going to stick mine on. I know it's not a Nismo. But it's got a full Nismo kit from nissan and there's holes in the kit where they should go and it saves me getting them filled 😂

Call it £85 including delivery and they're yours.
