Can confirm that the ARB's really change the experience of driving the Zed,a well worth while mod that is also able to be fitted by yourself.

Nice selection of cars! I really love the 500 Essesse, trying to convince my wife to be to get one. Glad your becoming a Zed owner again though,seems like the old gal has something that other sports cars dont.

Very cool video,thats truly rapid. Though fair play to the Starlet,that must have been running some pretty decent power too,then you shoot past him!

Stunning! Though see what peoplw mean when they say Americanised.

Its from a distance that you can really tell the difference,tidies up the rear nicely.

Thats what im planning on doing,though still a pain that you have to take the rear brake lights out,but never mind. I have girly hands.

What is with the 'chrome' M3 esque mirrors and that rear wing? And the Ferrari badge on the numberplate. For the sake of £20 you would just buy some new plates if your previous car was a Ferrari.

Surely the flexi bits are there for a reason. If you remove these,does it not put more pressure on the rest of the system,as there will be movement when the engine accelerates and decelerates ,and having no flexi will put pressure on the manifolds. Or am i just chatting sh!t?

They removed the old weights with a pallet knife by the look of it,certainly nothing as careful as what you use! They left the glue on the wheels from the weights

The ones I have are the Depo ones,and are completely clear,suppose you may call them crystal like,and look great. Will get pictures up soon.

I thought id have a stab at changing my rear indicator clusters yesterday,which was not alot of fun,but well worth it. The problem I had was that my car has aftermarket parking sensors,so i couldnt fully remove the rear bumper. I ended up taking out all the fixings for it,and having it pretty much resting on a few areas so I could get to the screws for the clusters. Imagine my mood when I discovered that the bulbs were the wrong ones. I ended up replacing both clusters,but used the original bulbs,as i figured that i can change them when they arrive,and i didnt want to be removing the rear bumper again. Amazed at the difference its made to the back of the car though,much better,will look brilliant when the new bulbs rock up. Sorry,no pics yet,but will post up when the new bulbs are fitted.

This place sounds fantastic,where are you? lol I took my wheels and tyres to a place a few months ago to have them fitted,and they marked the inside of the outer rim trying to get the tyres on. Pulled the wheels off a few weeks later to find that they had obviously used a pallet knife to get the old weights off,and slipped and put a massive scratch on the inside of the wheel,and every wheel has marks where they removed the old weights. They didnt bother removing the old weight backing either.

Thanks mate, and yes they were..the only modification needed was a custom bracket adapter so the Akebono's can mount on the 350z, plus a removal of the dust shields (who needs em amirite?) The akebonos are an AWESOME alternative to buying an expensive brake like brembos or ap racing. Big rotors that fill in the space behind the wheels really makes the car look more aggressive, something about large brakes just strikes people a certain way I guess. WTF is Akebono? Brakes do look good. Im the same, i love brakes that fill the wheels nicely. Nice car by the way,though not a fan of the diffuser.

My original clutch is on 64k,iv not had any slipping yet,but pedal is very heavy.

Its a great looking car,he also has reclining buckets with harness's. Id point him in this direction,but he is always very busy with work. Hopefully il get it detailed soon,so will get some pics. We are also doing a track day at the end of October.

Sorry for this odd topic,especially as I dont own a 370,but have any owners had issues with their clutch or slave cylinders needing replacement? A friend of mine has a 370 (full Nismo kit,very nice) and on a recent trip to Germany (car is on 18k) had a clutch type failure. After getting it back to England,turns out the slave cylinder was dead,and he has ended up with a new clutch and slace cylinder being replaced under warranty by Nissan here in the UK. Just wondered if any owners had had this issue at all,or if it was a one off. Car has never had burn outs or such like.

Must admit,its seems to have been happening with me driving the car less. Il take it out later and give it some hardcore retardation.

Had a look at his site this morning,will take the car out abit later,and bed the brakes back in,and see if that cures the issue. Failing that,il look at getting them skimmed. Though dont want to spent money where its not needed,not with the impending clutch change.

Iv started to notice that my car shakes/judders while braking. Im going to take the wheels off and have a good poke around, but it feels suspiciously like the discs are warped. Other than taking the discs off and checking them on a surface table,is there any other way of checking the discs? They are DBA discs, though cant remember what ones. (slotted)

I do find the ride slightly more fidgety,but cornering is alot tighter now,and certainly rolls less.

Just standard springs and dampers with standard geometry setting.

Well i was bored at work yesterday,and managed to change both ARBs to the firmest setting with the car just parked up. Have to say it feels pretty cool,just a tad stiffer than the previos setting. Havnt had a propper blast yet,as had the mrs in the car,but it certainly didnt seem like it wanted to kill me.

Thats what put me off putting them on their hardest settings to start with. Though must admit,car feels pretty good as it is. May dabble abit and see how things go. Advantage to lots of roundabouts in MK.

Does the car not understeer with these settings? Just curious,as i was going to do that,but the manual says it induces understeer. Or is the level so high you never notice it?

Was wondering what settings people run these at. Alex says he runs his on the stiffest front and rear,but thats a track car,what do people do when the car is used on the road? Iv set mine to middle hole for the rear,and rearward hole for the front,which is what Alex suggested to start with. Is it worth changing both to the hardest setting? Took it for a quick spin around some MK roundabouts,and have to say its pretty impressive the way the car stays flat. Found myself halfway out the seat at one point,clinging on for dear life!
