HEADPHONES

Looking lush in the sun of the second pic. Paint Wheels tyres and exhaust all Are you still on the original exhaust?

Welcome to the OC You know we never get tired of seeing photos of new members cars What kind of things did you want to pick brains over?

One owner NO winter miles. This is a needle in a haystack find for someone! Really hope it stays on the OC after getting a new owner.

That is one of the best red 350z's I've seen in a long time. Such an OEM+ look that you have to do a double take to check it's not special edition Nismo cosmetic upgrade

I've always been amazed by how small drivers and enclosures can sound SO BIG with different EQ settings. Take my Bose Mini Soundlink. It's absolutely tiny but the sound it gives out fools you into believing it's much larger. On the Zed simply changing my OEM Bose headunit to a JVC one totally transformed the sound. Just switching the "super bass" circuit on and keeping the tone controls flat gives me a very satisfying punchy bass out of the puny OEM Bose sub and amp. I'm really impressed by this Alpine EQ app though. Sounds like your headunit has a very wide and deep flexibility to alter the perimeters to suit any speaker and environment.

Very efficient space utilisation. I'm sure with a little EQ and gain adjustments it'll be a good improvement.

Wheel fitment looks absolutely spot on

I never knew about the 2 Ihms 4 Ohms thing before. Thanks for posting up this informative guide

Both sides done I will report back in 6 and 12 months with durability. Car is always left outside in the sun. Only in the garage for detailing duties.

Then two coats of sealant a few minutes apart and DONE

The Megs was SUPER fast prep with their Brillo pad and compound. Took the oxidation off in 2 mins Took me longer to clean the compound off than work it in! Once clean and dry you get that even hazy wet sanded look

The Megs kit uses a spray aerosol so I took no chances protecting the car OR ME

The drivers side was polished with a MF by hand using the TW compound, cleaned with IPA, dried and then coated with their sealant wipes. As the sealant is a wipe and I polished by hand....no masking. Polishing took an age by hand but I had headphones and music last night for that There were 4 grades of wet n dry sanding pads included in the TW kit but my headlights weren't that bad.

The contenders

Thanks to a kind donation of some Meguiars Headlight Restoration kit by a DW member and a delivery of the Turtle Wax version, we have a battle between the 2.The headlights were restored last year and coated with Gtechniq C4 but as always, it starts fail after about 9 months.Not too bad but annoying none the less.Starting with both lamps looking like this.

Sunsets can sometimes look just a bit ordinary. Other times magical. ........and that goes for the sky too

Sometimes these rich guys just drop the car at the main dealer, ask them to MOT and service and whatever needs doing. They don't go shopping online for the best tyre deals and leave it to the dealer who slaps on the cheapest tyres and the biggest bill which the blasé owner pays without batting an eyelid or even asking what tyres he's been given. OR HE'S JUST A TIGHT GIT

Congratulations on your latest acquisition. The cars look so good sat on your drive I'd be tempted to stick a deck chair out there and enjoy a few beers JUST LOOKING AT THEM

How the hell did he not go blind with the reflections

Very distinctive wheels and bumper Will definitely wave or flash if I see you about Manchester. I used to go to Middleton Arena sports complex once a week but my classes have moved. Very nice centre you guys have there in Middleton I'm normally commuting up and down Kingsway to Manchester Curry mile daily in my orange 350 so keep an eye out and wave

Even intricate lips aren't a problem for this craftsman.

Put some C5 on Curing in the hallway. Back on the zed tomorrow. If the test patch holds up over time I'll strip the whole lip and just maintain with C5 and regular washing. If not I'll strip the whole lip and try to use 2k lacquer on afterwards.

After

Stripper bubbling away
