  1. Yeah, thought about that, but as long as you torque them on properly then I don't see a problem with fitting 3mms plus 20mms as long as you don't fit the 3mm ones on top of the 20mm spacers. Anything bigger than 5mms could possibly cause more stress as you can't get enough turns on the wheel nuts and you need 9 turns (I think). Not sure of the exact price somewhere in the £10-15 range I would imagine. EDIT...£14.99 on Halfords Website Pete Thank you for looking into this for me...appreciate it! I've ordered a set of spacers, I'll be fitting them on this weekend. I will see how they look. If there is more room, I will add the Halfords spacers on
  2. Oh you live close, you should come say hello sometime That's true, you may learn a lot doing it yourself. I don't have the confidence The Nismo N1 spoilers weigh a tonne, I wouldn't trust the adhesive to keep the spoiler on the car when travelling at 100+ mph. Imagine it flew off, the damage it could cause to someone/something could be immense! I'm hearing that! It would be devastating, so if anyone else has any input on the matter please speak now or forever hold your peace.I have not received my spoiler yet and was under the impression it would be quite light! Plus 100mph=instant ban Will deffo meet up soon, just remember not to drive behind me how about japfest 2? 100+mph on a track...where were you thinking? I'll definately keep my distance, I and my Zed don't want to be written off just yet! When is Japfest 2?
  3. So I was half right for the first time in my life...I'll have to note this down in my 'diary'
  4. In my opinion the original RAYS colour is too 'flat', I would suggest getting them sprayed in a metallic silver (if you are planning to refurb them that is!) with more sparkle in it or a hyper silver. A pic of my refurb:
  5. No they didn't. All GT convertibles had buttons on both sides, but where the ones on the left on the coupe did the bluetooth controls, on the convertible they only did the radio as BT wasn't available as an option. If it doesn't have buttons on both sides of the wheel then it's not a GT car UNLESS the wheel has been replaced at some point, although why you'd do that is a different kettle of fish. Oops my bad When I was searching for 350z's, all the 'GT' convertibles I looked at only had one set of buttons on the steering wheel also so I thought that was the way they were meant to be. Luckily I didn't buy one then!
  6. All convertibles came with buttons only on one side of the steering wheel unlike the GT coupe's, which had buttons on both sides.
  7. BBC iPlayer mate
  8. That was my number 1 colour choice. Couldn't be asked waiting around for one to pop up so I bought mine as it was a good deal (I like to think ).
  9. If someone organises a group buy, I may be interested in purchasing one with you
  10. Oh you live close, you should come say hello sometime That's true, you may learn a lot doing it yourself. I don't have the confidence You are aware that you need to drill 2 extra holes in the boot lid aren't you mate? Be very careful taking the old one off too - it can be a bugger to remove and many have ended up with scratching - ChrisS has taken his off previously himself and can prob offer some good advice. Try these guys for the paint http://www.paints4u.com/paintdoctor.aspx Yes I was aware of the extra holes needed, but I thought some people were not bothering with the extra holes and using extra adhesive, incase they ever wanted to put it back to stock. The Nismo N1 spoilers weigh a tonne, I wouldn't trust the adhesive to keep the spoiler on the car when travelling at 100+ mph. Imagine it flew off, the damage it could cause to someone/something could be immense!
  11. Hi mate, it may just be easier to get it sprayed and fitted at CS. There's a few members on here who have got their cars done and been very happy with the work. It'll save you the hassle...
  12. Looks like a good buy...I would go take a look before it gets snapped up....
  13. This investigation is a success I guess...we have now identified exhibit A
  14. That's not good! There was me all happy thinking I had 2 sets of HFCs. I was going to give a pair to a friend of mine who also has a 350z, I guess not! Thanks for finding out for me, appreciate it!
  15. I'm suffering today
  16. Take a look at this Neil, did a quick Google image search on '350z oem cats': http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h ... 20&bih=979
  17. I checked the inside of the cats, they have filters in them that look identical to the HFCs that were provided by Daood. Do the standard cats have filters in them just like HFCs? Possibly the OEM ones may look like that without the heat shields?
  18. Yeah they are the ones!
  19. Are you sure you didn't hear the accident and stub your toe getting out of bed or twist your neck?? Maybe your still having flashbacks?? I'm sure you've still got a very strong case. Classic...
  20. The most likely answer. You could check the American forums as that's where the company is based Good point! I'll give that a try
  21. I believe you can get 3mm spacers from Halfords, I'm pretty certain that Colin has these on his 370Z, so you fit the 3mm spacers on first then add the 20mm hubcentrics. As far as the tyres go, I've kept the rolling radius within 1% so there would be no difference between the arch clearance on the 20" wheels that I have on with 35 profile tyres and 18" Rays with 45 profile. Pete Ah that makes sense! Good thinking Isn't fitting 2 sets of spacers on one hub a bit dangerous? Won't a lot of the stress transfer onto the 3mm spacer? How much is this 3mm Halfords spacer? Thanks, Hassan
  22. Have you got a proper side on shot with the wheels straight by any chance? Thanks! Hassan
  23. Do you think one of the HFCs is a revision of the other? But both are still manufactured to fit the DE engine?
  24. Do the sales people even make any money? I can't see people even going ahead with a claim so spontaneously!
