Great stuff, no more EML due to HFC 

Exactly, but to be honest I bet it’s only been on a hand full of times since I’ve had the hfc’s in eight years ! 
 

Zeds booked in for its up-rev ! So stay tuned !

Looks like your fettling the old girl for a trip…

New brakes time !

Although the existing pads were only half worn and discs barely having a lip on them as they’d only covered around 20K since I fitted them back in 2014. I think due to the fact the zed is only a summer weekend toy and during winter sitting around had not done them any favours over the years.  Even after trying to re-bed them in this spring I was getting slight vibrations through the brake pedal and steering wheel when braking, so thought it was time they was replaced. 

This time Ive opted for dba T3’s along with hawk performance ceramic pads, kindly supplied by @Tarmac@TarmacSportz

Then this weekend set about replacing them. So off with the old, surprisingly worse for wear on the inner face of the discs. No little wonder why I was experiencing vibrations !

Then on with the new ! 
 

Now @davey_83 Did worn me once I’d changed the fronts I’d want to replace the rears ! As OCD would kick in  well I must resist at least until next payday ! 

Great meet and pics mate, thanks for organising as usual it was a blast. 

I’ve not washed the zed, been too busy 

Hi guys another year,  another update ! 
Wow and what a year it’s been ! 
Since my last update the zeds had its yearly service and MOT. 
Then I’ve had the windows re-tinted as the original that’s been on since I’ve owned the car had gone all funky !

I went with a shade darker this time with Luna on the rears and the legally darkest on the sides, 30% I think. 
 

Then something I’ve been toying with for many awhile is a new head unit and as now funds allow thought I’d treat myself ! and after seeing @andy james at Japfest and the trip down last week constantly seeking for radio stations, thought it was about time ! 

So I got myself on the internet and got myself a pioneer SPH-DA160DAB unit with the correct fascia trim and appropriate wiring harness for the steering wheel controls and a DAB aerial. Then have spent a few hours over the weekend fitting it and so far I’m very impressed with it and wished I’d done it sooner !

Next up is some new brake discs and pads for the front and I’m finally going to get the zed an up-rev as it’s about time and being as I’ve got all the supporting mods I think. 

A big thanks from me to @andy james for once again organising this epic stand 

and remember kids wear sunscreen even though you don’t think you need it, it’s the next most important thing to apply after quick detailer of course !

Guess it's hard to see much when you inches from the car in front 😆

I don’t know what you mean! 

Damn missed you sorry, too busy

Thanks guys.

 

the forum here has been a massive help to my 350z needs.

 

sorry if this is a full question but I am not hot on rust. Do I need to get it done asap? Aka will it spread quickly? Or is there no major rush?

No rush, as I’d just replace the wings and bin the old ones as not worth the hassle repairing front wings.

Very Nice too!.. Dare I ask how much it cost for the full works? 

Thank you ! They cost £380, however that was in 2015 !

Awesome, thanks very for confirming what my wheels they are.

Obviously they've been refurbished before going by what they should look like and I noticed the NISMO logo is on different spokes compared to the valve between wheels.

 

I had a price of £200 to refurb locally, but think it was for just powder coating. From the sound of it I should get some prices to refurb back to original to make the most of them.

Any suggestions for the Midlands area? I was looking at Planet Alloys in Aldridge https://www.planetalloys.co.uk/  

 

I got mine refurbed at JP Alloys in Cannock 

Hang on have both those 350’s got LMGT4 wheels !
