  1. I've raised this exact issue on the forum previously.

     

    Having bought Seibon bonnet and front wings (fenders if you're in the US), I've got to say build quality is good but UV resistance is utter dogshit.

     

    As others have said they haze and look like crap really rapidly, I've wrapped mine to deal with the issue as I got fed up trying to rectify the issue with polish etc,.

     

    They aren't cheap and aren't interested in the issue.

  2. I quite like a big wing, as above, make sure you like it and it matches what ever you've got planned.

     

    My only bugbear about these is sometime people seem to fit them way too far forward and that ruins it for me, but it's personal preference at the end of the day.

  3. Someone mentioned it above but oil gallery gaskets are an issue on these, budget £800+ to get it done, as it hasn't been used much they could be more prone to failure as are paper so, if it's been left for long period, they could have dried and be more prone to breaking up? I don't honestly know but you should use it to assist in bartering on the price.

    If it was me, I'd get it done anyway, just to be safe.

    Good luck getting it for a good price, looks good in red :):thumbs:

  4. You should be able to get an adaptor kit that will connect your loom into the new unit but it will be specific to the car and head unit.

     

    As above, most likely by manufacturer, I did a swap out on my wife's 350z and it worked well, loom/wiring adaptor from a specialist but I can't remember where, sorry.

  5. Its weird that it's on all four, maybe it's something that's kicked up from the road as it looks different on each picture?

    I guess it could even be a small bit of spill onto the undertray that's then been kicked up as the car has been moved/driven?

    Hope you get it sorted.

    Nice to hear from someone who’s tried multiple setups, can I ask why that was? And what you found the difference (stock for stock, so equivalent geo settings) between them to be?

    They've all been on different cars, HSDs on my PS13, ultra hard set-up, Teins on my wife's 350z roadster, nice road set-up, BCs on my S12, again very firm, might actually get a softer spring, and KW3s on my 370Z coupe, night and day compared to stock set-up, but running on pretty much the softest set-up.

     

    The most surprising thing was how good RSR springs were on my wife's 370z roadster, really tightened it up compared to stock. Made far more difference than I expected.

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone, ended up ordering a set of BC Type BR true coilovers from Z1.

     

    Was easier than dealing with the hassle of trying to convince people in Japan that a Nismo has the same suspension fitment as the other Z33 models.

    I've had HSDs, Tein, BC and KWs, all have been good on the various cars they'v been on, I guess the main thing is getting them set-up properly and getting the geometry done after you've fitted them. I don't know how low you are going but you might need a few more bits, adjustable arms etc, to get back within tolerance.

  8. Wow, sounds like a nightmare.

     

    Hope you get it sorted.

     

    I had a bit of a battle getting my S12 V5 with all the correct info, they were trying to say it was rebuilt and I was in dnager of getting a Q plate at one point, but thankfully I plenty of documentation to prove everything.

     

    PS. I know it is no help now but for reference, never send anything to a government body without taking copies, driving license, V5 etc etc etc. 

  9. Just to throw my opinion in, we've had two 350s and two 370s, all have been great cars.

     

    Started out with an 04 Ginge 350ZGT (2005-2009), loved it, wish I'd never sold it, then I got a 370Z GT Ultimate in 2009.

     

    My wife had an '06 Roadster for a few years, then we sold it and bought a '10 370z roadster a few years ago.

     

    In all honesty, we both prefer the 370s but they have all been great cars, and as above, if we had more space, I'd have kept the first 350Z we had.

     

    They are GTs, but you can hustle them along and get a big grin, they're best with a few choice mods imo, or some stupid ones to give them lots more power ;)

     

    If you've had an MX5, the Z is bigger and porkier, but still rewarding and fun.

     

    Enjoy whatever you choose :)
