mmmm 4 seats do they come with isofix's?

TBH im not sure. I cant get to the car right now as im out of the country otherwise i would check for you. The cars still up for sale though.

Thanks for the comments guys

The shine in the pictures comes after:

Washing

Claying

intesive polish with meguires dual action rotary (Menzerna)

finishing polish with rotary (Menzerna)

red moose glaze

then sealed

Then Zymol

Looking forward to doing the Zed when i have time, though im not sure GM will come out as good as gloss red

One of my fave cars and yes the manual is rare only seen one other!

If we had only seen this before I got the MX5!!!!

Sorry you missed the add. It has been reduced as mentioned to £9000 now. I will update the post.

Defo have a Titanium shift knob. The slim one pictured above (not the fat GT). PM'ed you also.

Edited: Also interested in the Nismo N1 bumper and skirt (and/or shine rep's) depending on prices and some 06+ OEM LED rear lights also price dependent .

Cheers mate

Im definatly interested in the lifters and the the rear led lights. Please let me know on prices.

Also what it the bore size on the decats?

And does the smaller aerial affect the reception negativly at all?

Cheers

Got a 3" true dual with 3.5" decats. Its very loud , especially when cruising around and only using some throttle. I think these decats add a lot of sound, as they are huge and not resonated.

However it sounds nuts when your going for it

I have a custom 2.5" single exhaust on my Fiat coupe, and when i added a 2.5" downpipe to it, it hardly added any sound as it was resonated and also smaller diameter.

So basically dont go to big and make sure they are resonated (and good quality).

Mattg: Thanks for the great reply, thats pretty much the conclusion i came to with regards to tyre sizes except i used this website (with other useful info) http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html

I spoke to another member who has run wide rubber and he said that it really helps to put the power down and made the car feel as if it was on rails, as they say, only negative was a slight increase in understeer. I mostly get the extra power down even with the current 245's (tiny) when in a straight line, however with any lock applied the wheels spin, but the front feels fine so i think that 275 or 285 would defo make a differance

Camskill are selling Falken 275's and 285's for the same price and the same with 245's and 255's i think.

Think i will be dynamatting the boot etc too, to help block out the exhaust noise and the extra noise from the wider rubber

H5: They do look hideousss......................... ly good,

You've done nothing stop the number of owners of these increasing by showing those pics. By the way great location, where? if i may ask.

Gotta say they look good with the GM. Amongst my favorite rims, and there not too expensice either. Im thinking of going for the v1 kit with the wheels myself, plus some other things, nothing too OTT but subtle stuff.

How have the wheels held up with wear and tear? Do the lips hold up ok? Im propbably not going to swap in the winter. Also is your lowered at all?

Thanks for the pics

Nice one lads

Is that bumber a 'shine' replica or another type?

i just rang the Audi garage and had a chat. i think il be part ex'n. Bit silly but i cant be bothered with advertising and and that monkey. oh well

Nice car, GLWTS

What are you swithing to if you dont mind ?

1.Nurrish - Vortech S/C @420rwhp - 372 rwtq - Abbey Motorsports (Dynapack)

2.Ian - HKS S/C @ 380rwhp - 350 rwtq - Abbey Motorsports (Dynapack)

3.Ballistic - APS TT - 437hp 385ftlbs - .

I plan to get some health checks done, inc a mapping/fuelling check, so i will have more info on the RR figures than. Is it ok to leave as that for now?

Thanks for you advice mate

I have been having a good look around and i think im now really leaning towards the Z2s's in GM.

They seem a good wheel all round, and are ticking all the right boxes for me.

I was wondering if they come in a 9j for the front? (ET20)? does that give you any extra lip at the front? Or is the 8.5j the only way to go? Thought you might have come across this when you ordered them

Regarding the TCS issues do you think i would need to go 255 front if i go 285 rear? Has anyone out there done this? any negative's?

Thanks a bunch mate, i think you have helped me make up my mind

Is is CS and RR that sell them on here?

MattG - Nice one, thats what i was looking for, good to know they improve grip too. Motor looks nice mate I was looking at the GM ones mysel to match my zed.

Do you know if you can fit 285's on the back? Oh and are you lowered.

Tarmac - My excuse is that i dont have any lil ones...... yet

By the way i saw these on ebay, Dotz GTR's for £670. What you guys rekon?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-LIGHTWEIGHT-ALLOY-WHEELS-ONLY-NISSAN-350Z-/130415515367?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET

Think these are better than the Rota's?

Was watching these and managed to get em for £30. (70 quid new)

I have the gearknob and handbrakes but not the colour coded steering wheel as I don't like. You could change it if you wanted when ordering

Ahh i see, cheers mate.

TBH i wasnt so sure if i liked the wheel being alezan myself. However with the handbrake and gear lever i dont mind either way.

Nice one, well i will ley you know if i do

Hi guys

Following on from my last thread (silence the beast), i have established that i need to see an exhaust specialist to fit a box or something..

So as the title says really, anyone know one? Im close to the Leyton/Walthamstow/Chingford areas.

Thanks guys

Nice one guys

Tarmac- sell your motor and buy a grown ups car, you know it makes sense . Thanks for the advice though.

Biggy and Digsy - I did read those threads, and any others i could find thanks for the recomendation though. I got loads of info on fitments and apperance etc.

By the way guys, just to be %100 sure, im looking at following set up

Rota GTR 19x9 ET20 (front) + 245/35

Rota GTR 19x10 ET20 (rear) + 285/35

This staggered package is available from CS. Will these offsets be flush with the arches? (give the agressive stance?). Anyone with pics of this setup?

Just to be sure again, is that the tyre combo to go for also? Im pretty sure they are from research, but just wanna make sure there will be no rubbing issues or anything else on a non-lowered zed.

Although i know the GTR are a light wheel that is designed for zed fitment and thus should not harm the performance, minimally. Just wanted to get some user review/feedback on this issue specifically i.e: ride/handling/traction/cornering after fitting GTR 19's please and also are there any reports of bucking etc

Thanks againg lads

Yea i noticed that too. It is a bit odd, i wonder if anyone else has this, maybe its a JDM thing

Needs a new gearknob though, this ones showing some wear. Old owner was a ring wearer i think.

Definately go for 19s bud... Mines a daily driver and they are fine... You will probably regret it if you went for 18s...

 

I like the look of the GTRs too, all except for the sticker

Thanks. What about performance/handling, any adverse effects there? Have you lowered you zed at all?

Pics of wheels in question to enjoy:

(which sticker you refering to)

Are there any reports of these wheels messing with the cars ride and handling? I do not want to spoil the cars performance just for looks.

Also I know they are more expensive but i have been thinking about the rota GTR's in GM or the linea corse Z2S's. The write up seems to be good for both. The GTR's give the more agressive look and the Z2S give a clean look. Leaning towards the GTR's at the mo. (Bet Fakeindian's releived )

Another descision is 18's or 19's. I havnt seen any bad reports about running 19's but i wonder if it does change the car for the worse or better, or not at all even. Remember its an everyday London driver

Looks a nice motor, but TBH i need to sell the skyline. If you can sell your zed and the skyline is still around than your most welcome to buy it

Thanks Beavis

Nice one guys

Tarmac - Whats the spec of your zed? TBH i would prefer to sell the car rather than swap it to another one. Sell yours and buy it

GLWTS

I know it can be difficult to shift a modded motor.
