The car looks great If i was you i'd ditch EBC all together and go for Ferodo DS2500 pads, seriously!!

I had reds on my civic type r and they were totally crap, even to the point where i couldn't slow down enough at a roundabout, and if it wasn't for the great handling of the car would of ended up going side ways straight over the roundabout and flippin it in the process. As it was, just had a minor accident in my boxers Went out and bought/fitted OEM brakes the next day and what an improvement that was. Rant over

Agreed, I also had EBC pads on 2 previous cars... I have got to admit they're not great. Although they now have newer improved versions, and the current pads on my Zed are not bad, but not great...

Sorry to digress but I hope they’re not Greenstuff brake pads on your Zed, as they’re not designed for the 350z, the replacement pads are the Redstuff pads, the Greens shouldn’t be used at all…

 

And whats wrong with the greenstuff pads? If they're not designed for the Z, why to ebc sell them?

 

The pad fitment is shared with many cars, EBC have the Greens for cars producing less than 200bhp and anything over should have the Reds…

 

EBC don’t advertise the Greens for the Zed, only the Reds and Yellows.

 

If you look through all the EBC catalogues you’ll see that the Reds are standard pads and that the Yellows are the Upgrade for all 350z…

Ok, thanks for that.. I bought from EBC direct, and had no mention of that. I just had the choice of green or red. I thought red's were more for race as they take awhile to heat up, and dont work great when cold? I dont hammer the car around so find the green pads ok. But I will take your advice & change them when its next serviced.

Thanks

I got the wheels refurnished at Lepsons, in swindon. They performed a complete refurnishment, acid dipped and then colour coded. I would highly recommend them. They can also perform machine polish and diamond cut alloys.

I will next be getting my old cloth seats re-trimmed in white/black leather next month.., Anyone know any good companies to take my seats to?

Also if anyone is interested in the red leather seats then pm me. When they are available I will put them up on here at a reasonable price.

Reduced to £145 Delivered . You wont find cheaper

I recently ordered these led rears from the Us.

I fitted them today, but im not too sure they suite the white 350z. I think they would suite a darker especially the black or gunmetal 350z. You wont see too many of these in the uk, and wont be disapointed.

The lights were only on car 10 mins, have no marks and come with all packaging. I know I'm going to have to take a loss on these, and now just gonna go with the 06' leds.

so to fellow club members £150 + delivery

I may consider swaps / trades with other 350 bits, like 06' led rears, carbon bits, etc etc.

Well happy with my items, thanks mate.

I am doing a bit of research into a turbo conversion that will probably start in the summer. I have seen a rear mounted turbo system, wanted to know peoples thoughts on this? It's not something I have seen before and it does look

t the forum. A man with great modding ideas soon to have a wallet getting lighter & lighter. Good looking car.

thanks mate, wallet is already light after purchasing this car

moding will start in the new year, may also custom the headlights like hulk has. Looks

 

White is the way forward!

 

ahh, lexx. I think your car is the one I seen that sweet spoiler on?

I keep looking at that front bumper!! I want it.. having a look around for similar style.

Colour code is QX1 - easy to get a match at any decent garage

cheers bud, your car looks sweet!!

to the forum m8!

i do agree with you to change the front splitter...not a fan myself

take your time after this initial mod or any other cosmetic changes and soak in all the info/advice/experience chaps and chapses have to offer before you go for performance upgrades!...the Z does't not give up its secrets easily and cheaply you already have a very good base to start with too

 

Thanks for the advice. Was planning on taking my time, as I intend to keep this for awhile. Im not too sure on which bumper to replace it with though. So MANY to choose from!!

 

 

The Amuse looks amazing on white Zeds....but Im biased....

and if you get one, I shall be forced to kill you.....mwuuhahahahaha

 

thanks, have seen the amuse bumper & agree looks will probably start the hunt for one after xmas. Im hoping its not too much of an issue to colour match?

Attached is old pic from when it was imported (about 11 months ago)

Car sounds great! Whereabouts are you based? Welcome to the club

Based in swindon, wilts

Hi,

 

More Modding??? Not much to change there mate! What you thinking of doing?

 

Have a look @ www.z-store.co.uk its a strictly 350z store run by Kev and Gaz @ Envy Performance

 

Looking forward to seeing the pics

I want to change the front bumper first, not to keen on the c-west splitter.

Also upgrade to 20" or some hefty deep dish 19" alloys. The alloys on there at the moment are good, but need refurnishing as in quite a bad state. Then I may think about engine ugrades and carbon fibre mods, interior & exterior.

Have seen the z.store & i could spent a fortune one there
