Delivered to Chriswatson99 today Craig

Removed from car to fit Rays Alloys Just sitting in Garage gathering dust! £50 to take away! 2 got reburbished when we bought car Pick up from Aberdeen, Scotland For photo click here http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/img2013ge.jpg/

AG53 ZNE - Silver On Union Street i waved...he looked at me weirdly and drove on.. haha Craig

As far as im aware every car will pull slightly to the left on most road surfaces due to the curve in the road (Presuming so the rain can run into the drains) Obviously theres a line between drifting to the lefts and pulling to the left... I worked at a BMW dealer for many years and brand new cars would do this. Try driving on the right hand side of the road and see if it pulls to the right? (Check for oncoming traffic first )

The ride quality seems fine, a tad stiffer and bumpy but to be expected with lower springs, i have only driven it about 15 miles so im sure other people on here will know any better! nothing worth complaining about, looks alot better though so ill live with any difference in comfort. The Aerial was on it when i bought it so i cant help there sorry! Craig

Springs arrived from CS on Friday i think first class service and delivery Took the car to a friends local modifying company who do alloys, re-mapping, window tints etc etc Car now has 30mm Eibach springs LED Lights fitted, this was my mods for this time home! Before After Before After Motorwerks website is http://www.motorwerks.co.uk/ they are located in Aberdeen

I seen post on here couple weeks back with someone removing the rear indicator unit to do the fog light mod WITHOUT removing the rear bumper I've tride using the search button, but as you can imagine searching for +Fog +Bumper +Light comes up with hundreds of differnent posts Can this be done? I.e removal of rear indicator light unit without removing the bumper? Any help appretiated Craig Edited - Front=Rear

Thanks to ZMANALEX Light arrived yesterday, fitted today Completely changes the back of the car and only takes 10 mins! Just ordered Lowering springs from CS, will update pics once fitted! Craig

Is there a tutorial for this job? Craig

Maybe it was the one on Fifth Gear when they took a Zed to a donut fest for the guiness book of records? haha

Looks good!

Im going to Dundee from Aberdeen today so ill keep an eye on it... as i was wondering what it Should be aswell I dont know if this helps but when i recently done the iPod mod when the top dials and heater control panel control unit was disconnected my petrol gauge read empty with the warning light on

Very immiture but very very funny!

Im not to sure about other Z's but my bluetooth kit only plays through the right hand speakers? i think thats the case? Im sure if it can be done someone will know on here! Craig

I just posted it on the Aberdeen Local VW Site as alot of them run BBS wheels http://www.eastsidevw.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2191 I just sold my R32 thats why im a member! Good luck!

I removed mine the other day, there is two holes about 3/4" Diameter Then two plastic captive nuts if you like where the holder bolts onto it comes off easy enough so worth a lookey! I fitted a small cut down plate earlier on in the week and the plate is bigger than the holes therefor covering them up

I bought these http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/WY21W- ... -pair.html I did attempt from under the rear bumper, you can see them but cant get your hands onto them, i was away to remove bumper and when i removed the rear lights you have brilliant access! Theres a gap enough for a hand, turn the plug and out she comes! rear light is just 3 caps and 3 bolts! Craig

Spent some time today on the car, done the reflectors and bulbs first then the iPod modification to Bose unit (see ICE section) Pics of the finished article! Craig

With no plans for the day and sitting looking through the forum i took insperation from "Pimm" Again used the thread below, very well explained...Thank you VERY much "AlexZ"!!! http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29312&start=75 Parts Required Tape £3.49 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... 7&DOY=20m3 Cable £7.99 3m Stereo Plug to Plug Lead http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=11422 Tools Philips & Straight screw driver Soldering Iron Wire strippers (or just snips!) Insulating tape I have missed the pics for removal as there all in Alex's Thread so ive started in my study room! Bose unit removed inclusing surrounding trim All cover bolts removed and facia removed Tape deck removed from Bose unit Wires soldered into place and routed through Bose unit Bose unit back together and Aux wire routed out back of unit Maplin Tape deck cleaner with internals removed Final outcome! Im going to look into buying a cigerette charger for the ipod and cut the wires and solder into the back of the passenger side cigerette lighter but thats for another day! The sound quality seems very good, just like a CD...all for roughly £15! Thanks again for all the help the Forum has provided! Craig

I think tape deck is the way forward... And if that starts skipping theres no hope...

Thanks for the comments guys I agree with the parking sensors, Is there a specific way to get these painted? i worked at BMW for a long while and their sensors came with a very slight coat of paint and the ones that were painted by back street paintshops were coming in with faults bacause the paint was to thick? Magic84 - When fitting the spacers i just used the bar from the jack to hold on the brake pedal when doing the fronts, and the handbrake does fine on the back...BUT when it comes to fitting the spacer to the hub you may find your 21mm socket wont fit onto the spacer recess as the socket is to thick. I ended up using a 3/8" thin wall 21mm socket with a 3/8"-1/2" adaptor on my torque wrench Stew - Ye sister came and done the job...haha! Craig

So is there a fix? or just fit a new unit?

Amazing results!

Fellow Owners!!! After being helped by ZMANALEX with Rays, Andy with 20/20mm Spacers & the forum for sourcing of silver bulbs i got them all fitted yesterday/today When fitting the spacers i did take step by step photo's and while taking the final pic i noticed my DSLR said "No Card"....School boy error!!!!! Firstly yesterday i fitted the Indicators, makes a brilliant difference, although in time i would like to get the orange removed from the headlight... While fitting spacers i took the time to clean inside erches and make a mess of the lock block... :-) Then a quick snow foam! This pics are after the spacers fitted, then when i got home the reg trasfer was in so i removed the front black trim and fitted small plates all round! Next on the list is the clear front reflectors tommorrow and rear silver indicator bulbs, then in the process of getting a set of LED's from ZMANALEX. Next time home will be 30mm lowering! Craig

Guys! Recently bought Kei Racing spacers from Andy i have a small questions... Obviously the only way to check the tightening of the spacers is to remove the wheel, have any of you guys put a spec of thread lock on one or two of the origional studs just incase? Also fitting the rear should be ok as the handbrake will hold the hub from turning, how did you guys get the correct torque with the free wheeling front hub...? a second person? jam the foot brake on? Just so i get it right first time :-) Craig
