Sorry to hear about your troubles mate.

It all depends on what you want from the car. If your going to strip the bottom end, which it sounds like your going to have to, you can throw in some forged parts and the APS TT kit can run upto 550-600bhp as is. Labour wont be much more than the cost of a refresh, just parts.

If not just give it a refresh as Alex mentioned and you should be good for a long while running about 400bhp.

Me, i would go forged, you've got most of the ingredients for a monster build.

Ive got a true dual 3" APS exhaust. I have a feeling i would have the same problems with aftermarket ones as you.

Im interested 

One question, is 4mm S275 steel thick enough? Bearing in mind that many aftermarket brace are designed to work alongside the OEM W brace.

Cool build

makes sense. Nice for shows and stuff. 

Can also be bad earth somewhere (as it was with me). Ive heard it can be a brake bulb out, pads or pad sensors or bad battery.

Start with the easiest and cheapest and go from there

when do they come on and off? Manual control or?

Its modern looking i and pretty balanced, not too extreme or too subtle.

Gia Cuzzo it pretty nice too. Its like a more subtle version of the V2

Same, i have the N1 spats.  Out of all the spoilers ive looked at (ive spent time on it lol) i like the N2 style the most. But like you say, its a matter of finding one that fits well too.

Tarmac sportz to a Strosek Style one for about £250. You need to get the boot lip part in addition which is an easy used find on ebay.

That bumper really goes with the 'pointier' styling of the 370.  ^

Ive got some bits of the dash that i was thinking of wrapping in Alacantara anyway. If i go ahead with that it may tie in with the flocked A pillar.

Not sure if i can do the headlining though. I would imagine its at least £300 or so to get it done. Really depends on the material too.

Seems we've got more similar ideas as im also keeping an eye out for spoilers.

Either V2. Although trying to find one with good fitment...

or maybe the strosek style?

If you've got other mods on the back then i like V2, if not then the duckbill

Just re-read your post and realized you installed an oil cooler lol.  Must pay attention.

Yea thats the only ones i found that are made for a Zed. All the universal ones ive tried dont have a good fit for me.  Still not sure if i will go for it. Maybe he will give a discount for a couple orders lol

Nice! Mines on the other side.

I kinda really want to put a pillar pod in with Vacuum and Intake Air temp but I'm not sure yet.

Part of me is "just do it" the other part is "too far"

 

Im considering an A pillar pod too. Have you found one that fits nicely?

yea that angle really shows off the front arch and the way it continues into the front bumper

Do you happen to have a guide on those skirts? i have a plastic/double glazing shop near me. thinking of asking if they can cut me some stuff to a provided template

replaced by an R32 GTR

Any pics? Look forward to reading about it mate!

Looking lovely. Nice fitment. Im still loving mine too, its on axle stands at the moment while the bumpers away. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

You made those skirts yourself right?

@Ian Boost gauge used to be in the volt meter slot. But had a problem with the old triple cluster so replaced them recently and felt like moving in to the A pillar.

@ZMANALEX Nice setup. Is it possible to splice the AEM AFR into the existing wideband sensors? What bank do you have it reading? Also, got a build thread? 

Got another pod on the way, hope this one works.

Anything been going on over the summer @Ian. Still going for Skyline? or more mods on this?

Had wubwubwub noise that sped up with vehicle speed. I diagnosed it as passenger wheel bearing by jacking the car and spinning the wheels.

Fitted new one courtesy of Zman of course. Just tie the caliper out of the way.

2 caliper bolts and 4 hub bolts. The bottom one is tricky, but unwinding a little lock allows you to get a socket on it

Not a particularly difficult job. No more horrible noise 

Fair enough @ZMANALEX

So far ive been sent a LHD one (advertised as rhd), a horrible Farbon finished one. Had to send em back

Hope for better luck on the next one. Might get a twin pod as they seem easier to get and an additional gauge, any recommendations? 

just ordered a generic one. 

Found this guy though

I only have the time available. so gotta do what i can. Thanks for the tips.

Archs and sills seem a priority then. Will hit the kidneys and whatever else i can.

I was hoping to find one for the Z, so far ive only found LHD ones. 

The universal ones are a last resort

Been looking around for the above. Havnt found anything.

So, anyone got one or know where i can find one? Would appreciate it
