Ah nice where abouts?

All food here mate, daughters are 10 and 6. Still got the 350GT but not had much time for it recently with the business. Got a 640d for daily duties 

Purdie back on the forum?? How did that happen 😂

How you been mate? Congrats on the wee one how old is he/she?

Hope you and Nicole are well

Where you moving to? I remember you talking about emigrating back in the day, was it Canada you mentioned?

Change the thread title to ‘FREE PARTS’ and add pics, or start a new thread

If it’s anything like freebies on gumtree they’ll be gone in 5 minutes 😂

Stick up the images of what you have drawn 👍🏼

Diffusers can look good on their own but sometimes they just look stuck on and out of place. Spats definitely help

Also sometimes spats with a diffuser with a gap in between doesn’t look quite right 

Might be worth looking at spats with a custom diffuser to finish it off, if you can make them all flow as if it’s almost one piece 

Or look at a rear lip

There’s endless options, have a look on google images etc to get ideas but personally I prefer mods on front, rear and sides for the most aggressive look

If you’re going for a rear diffuser you can add some spats onto the rear bumper to finish it off

Side steps look good but I prefer aftermarket side skirts, the standard skirts are too flat. Or even better, side steps added onto aftermarket skirts

When you remove your private plate you put it on retention on the dvla site which is £80 you can keep it on retention for 10 year by the end of 10 years you have to put it on a car or lose it. when you put it on retention they will instruct you to put the original one back on

Usually it’s the original plate but occasionally they assign a different plate after the private plate comes off, my 350z got a completely different plate after I removed my private plate 

Also you can renew the retention certificate after 10 years you don’t automatically lose the plate 

Every Skyline had 4 door models 

That generation was the 4 door version of the 370z not 350z. I think some markets got the 3.5 engine as well as the 3.7 but it’s not the same gen as the 350z. The coupe he showed at the start of the video (g35/350gt) was the same gen as the 350z. This is the 4 door version

What’s with the angle of the sticker?

I’ve heard of putting foam/rubber between panels to stop rattling noises but that’s more for the interior not there. Have you tried removing it?

Amazing skills and dedication to get it perfect 

Ah makes sense. Look forward to more updates 

Really starting to take shape now, looking forward to seeing paint on it

At risk of having the first negative sounding comment on this thread so far, I wonder if the exhaust would’ve looked better lower down in the bumper. Look forward to seeing seeing it complete and proven wrong 

Love it mate, congrats 

Can see it taking shape now, a real work of art 👌🏼

What’s the red car, far right centre near the edge of the photo, prominent black grill/lights combo? Can’t figure it out. 

Is that a Dodge Charger?

You’ll be at least 2k for the kit inc fitting, maybe less if you find a uk supplier but most will need to be imported 

2-3k for bags

Then other mods like wheels etc

The prices of these didn’t really drop that low even with low demand, and recently they’re creeping up again

Great cars though and look amazing when done right 

Amuse rear and sides, nismo v1 front bumper 

Looks a bad one hope everyone involved is ok...

@Stutopia owned a brz I’m sure

I love checking my old cars’ MOT histories, and I actually enjoy it when they’re banging the miles in with plenty of silly failures on. Means they’re being used properly, the way god intended  

Minevis now full of rust underneath and different sized tyres on the same axle...

I looked for mine a few times but never found it with the new private reg

I checked again after seeing that ad and it’s had a pretty hard life since

And that under glow....

Poor zed, it needs to be rescued😟

Yea I’m pretty gutted seeing it like that 

Sold my Z nearly 10 years ago and never saw it until today. It was listen on eBay with a knackered engine, rebuilt with around 35k more miles than when I sold it. Paint looks rough, front lip is chipped, a few more mods on it but not in a good way..

I never thought I’d see it like this. If I had the space I would buy it back and return it to its former glory

And definitely lower it 😂

Got it from Christchurch / March out that way last owner had it for 6 years

Sorry should’ve said it was back when I had my z so probably from new

Looks clean. I recognise the number plate, I’m sure I used to see it up here
