CS is fitting my tanabe sustec pro coilovers this weekend that i bought from Carbon Forza . I'm running 245/35/19, 275/35/19. I'm not looking to slam it, just tidy the appearance by closing the gaps - particulary the rears. I'm running a varis carbon splitter and ings+1 lx sides so that is a factor. Any advice from those of you that are lowered on how low to go? Some spring kits lower the front more and some lower the rear more, not sure what thats about? just keen to here any experiences. Pic to follow..

disb, pm'd

^ this link is your bonnet damper kit not boot struts. Incedently though, is your bonnet kit for all zed's or do imports / early / later zeds etc vary? I might be interested in a set of these.

Just fitted mine, bought from SGS as per last post. Needed to dremmel the old OEM ball joint socket (alum) but it was easy enough tbh and there are guides on the net - only took 10 mins. Fit and look is spot on. I had my struts gassed to +15% of OEM, which as OEM are set at 400N, equates to 460N. I'm told these struts are good to 1200N so 460N is not going to cause an problems. I read on the yank site that people were buying them at +30% and they were too powerfull and hitting the upper bump stops a bit too hard, hence i went for +15%, midway. SGS can add more gas to these if necessary, you can return them in the post and for free they will adjust them, a good service i felt. I thought i would update the post as i needed to do a reasonable amount of research and still ended up taking a punt at the pressure, but it turned out great

Will do. They are sat in my office. I had a full respray before xmas and will be getting some trim work done shortly . It will depend on how much it costs to have some matching mats made up.

Are they the type with the white square detail running down the centre and a Z beadge embedded in them? I 'might' have a set of these i could let go. I'll know once i've seen my local trimmer in a week or so Not sure if they are all the same accross the years and versions?

You have pm

If you look top right at the start of the video, there were two others walking across the bridge, they are just of camera at impact but look to be even closer to the truck at impact! Can't believe the driver didn't know that his truck was tilted up, c of g would have made the ride very noticably different!

Worth putting a coating on the underside where you did the welding, to stop any rust starting up. I'm not sure what the bodyshop that did mine used, but they did say they had done it.

Just had mine resprayed, I had the ariel removed and the hole smoothed. The bodyshop opted to weld it, they said it was the best way to proceed and i didn't argue.

+1 Dynamat is design to absorb vibration. You don't need to cover everything but stick it anywhere that looks like it might resonate (usually large flat panels).

PM'd - Payment sent, thanks

soo... is it still for sale?? only joking.. geez you guys are quick to judge - and persecute (i particularly liked the chip pic). It wouldn't hurt if the original poster updated the title though.. I misread this and thought Husky was selling them - thus not getting the whole 'its on my car' thing - i am a dumb a$$ yes i know, but i scan read on my way out to work. Sorry Husky for spamming you fella ..soo... you don't want to sell it then..?

..this still for sale?

I never cease to be amazed. I won't be doing this.

Where are you based? I'm going to sgs-engineering (http://www.sgs-engineering.com/pages/home) in Derby this Friday to have some fitted and gased correctly. I have a blitz spoiler and some sound deadening on the tail and so i'm in a similar situation to you. These guys will adjust the gas pressure on a pair of new uprated dampers to suit the car and give a 2 yr guarentee - for around 65 of my pounds. They do sell them direct from their website but its difficult to know the right pressure to buy, hence i arranged a visit to get them spot on. Will let you know how it goes at the weekend if you want

Good thread, dangerous but good Not sure about this one though: Take a look around, we have the 'ladette' culture to thank for this actually becoming real. I mostly blame Lilly allen.

I was also - the rear window is also tinted to the same amount (or at least mine was). You can check by putting a white A4 piece of paper behind the glass, you'll see the tint straight away if there is one. Putting a light tint on the rear adds to the existing tint and works well in my opinion, you can tell it's done but it's no where near blacked out. Helps keep the headlights (and fog lights ) behind you from blinding you at night too which is a bonus.

Sun strip. Negative. Each to their own

Just had mine done on Firday. Rear window and sun strip only, side windows are already factory tinted to uk legal limit. Not sure if UK cars have a factory tint or not, mine is a JDM. Looks great now, very happy i did it.

Interesting thread.. what about traction though, what experience have people had running FI on the quarter mile? Just wondering if there is a 'limit' to how much power the zed will actually put down on a launch without spinning out? Most seriously fast cars run 4wd, but not all i know.

Just put mine up for in the for sale section, thread with images.. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=31327 Neilp if you are still interested in these pls let me know asap, i have pm'd you but haven't had any reply

As per title, For sale are standard wheels off an 04 zed. Tires are new on the front with less than 100 miles on them, and original potenzas at the rear with only minimal tread but passed MOT. They are in very good condition compared to most, a few niks if you're up extremely close as you would expect but to be honest they're probably in better condition now than my newer wheels that i bought 5 months ago to replace them Looking for £250 + postage

Yes i agree that 3k is about the ballpark figure - and yes it depends on who you know too . The risk comes in though only if you haven't done your homework.

+1 white is nice but its not £3000 nice I would say it is +1 White imho suits the zed perfectly. Beware though as if i remember correctly nissan white (pikes peak?) is a pearl 2 coat finish which is a problem when you get stone chips and want them touched in. PS it's not necessarily 3k to get a full paint job, just had mine done for quite a bit less (yes, in white) - even less for a wrap i think?
