    Top 10 quickest diesels... for under £15k?

    in Other Cars

    Posted

    think its the same engine in all the 35d models as in 335d, 535d, 635d, 735d, but a remapped 335d m sport coupe is by fare the best option imo, nearly the same torque as an m3 & not fare off the bhp but still getting over 35mpg around town & upto 50 on the motorway. i was going to buy one before i bought my zed but the zed came up at the right price! 8k cheaper! still think its gonna be my next car.

    y pipe replacement, how much and where from?

    japspeed £180

    stillen £240-300

    fujisubo £300

    tanabe £400

    5zigen £400-450

    motordyne xyz £400-550

     

    these are rough uk prices from when i was looking they maybe a little less or more give or take a few £££.

    remember the traders have p&p + taxes from the states which are very expensive.

    i would either try secondhand or export one yourself it works out cheaper, i nearly did it from a guy on ebay, then one came up on here in the for sale section.

    as above think tarmac still has 1 stillen left £240.

    hope this helps.

    wasn't happy but thats life. :bang:

    thanks matt

    370z side indicators

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    hi,

    i did mine after seeing dcash5's & that was the link to my thred.

    they look the nuts, but as said its alot of work.

    firstly to do it properly both the zed & the indicator need taking off ,then a metal plate needs tacking onto the inside of the wings & both need filling with fibre glass till flat, then a biggish circle needs to be cut out were the zed was as the 370z indicator sits on a flat surface & has a big back to it. you have to do this because it doesn't quite site right as were the zed is on the 350 its counter sunk & slightly too small. i didn't do the plate on the zed, only on the indicator & as a consequence it doesn't quite site right, so im giving you my hindsight. if you dont do the plate at all the fiber glass will eventually sink & look terrible! once all that is done, you then need to spray inside of the wing & respay the whole of both of the outside wings, now your nearly there all you have to do is splice into the wiring of the 370z indicator as it has different plugs to the old indicator & fit it snugly into the pre cut hole, you may need some sort of adhesive to keep it in place. job done!!! alot of bloody work for a subtle mod, but worth it in the end. the 370z indicators can be bought from any nissan main dealer, i think i paid around £26-27 each for them, they just have to be ordered in, takes a few days. the main expense is all the body work.

    hope this isn't too illegible & helps anyone considering doing this mod.

    thanks matt. (wide)

    1 Eibach spring

    in Wanted

    Posted

    im pretty sure eibach's come with a lifetime guarentee or 1000000 miles.

     

    That's why I'm pretty miffed. I doubt they will pay for labour costs :rant:

     

    my point was if you got in contact with them they would probably replace the springs saving you £££
