  1. I remember seeing that plate in some marketing material and 350z review articles. You have a celebrity Zed!
  2. Bang on the money there mate, that's exactly what my thoughts were!
  3. You won't have any problems with a Scorpion mate. Not that much louder than standard. I have one fitted with an Ichiba Y-pipe.
  4. You should have revved the engine in the video to see how or if it affects the noise
  5. Definitely not normal. It's too loud/noticeable to be normal. Almost sounds like a Heatshield on it's last legs rattling away almost ready to fall off. I doubt it's that though.

  10. I fitted a pair of SGS NISMO variant a couple of months ago. Working perfectly so far
  11. Nice bike matey. I'm into road bikes myself
  12. Thank you all for your invaluable information/advice (especially the guides you provided GMballistic)! I finally got round to doing them. Removing the old struts off the bootlid was an absolute pain! It took a lot of force to finally remove them, I was scared the inner bootlid skin would come off with it! I made the common mistake a lot of owners have previously made, I fitted the bracket upside down! I didn't notice the second guide you sent GM, until I had completed the job. So the bracket issue was completely overlooked. After everything was complete, I put all my tools away and thought I could go in and relax. Upon the final walkaround, I noticed the top of the bootlid was not sitting flush with the roof and A pillars. I began to panic thinking I may have over extended the bootlid hinges when holding the bootlid up when the struts weren't attached causing this misalignment. I opened and closed the bootlid on a number of occasions trying to work out what the issue was until I noticed on the comparison photos between the new and old struts fitted to my Zed what I had done - what a wally I am! When the bracket was the wrong way round the bootlid flies open when the button is pressed, almost like the struts had too much power. I'm assuming this was due to the pressure caused by the misalignment due to the incorrectly fitted brackets. Once the brackets were flipped over, the bootlid now sits perfectly and all seems to be working perfectly. Could this mistake have caused any damage to the bootlid hinges/lock mechanism/bootlid/struts? I'm surprised how the bootlid still shuts even though the whole bootlid is misaligned at the top. Are the hinges and related mechanics designed to be flexible or something? I'm scared the pressure may have caused damage to the hinges. Once again thank you for all of your help and input guys
  13. Are you talking about the part where all the mud flicks from the rear wheels onto the lower section of the rear bumper? Mine has the NISMO spats fitted so would you think that would act as protection from the the debris collecting in that area?
  14. Hi all, I have purchased a pair of uprated SGS bootlid gas struts designed for the NISMO spoiler. I have no idea how to fit them so I thought I'd post a topic on here and get some valuable help and also hope this thread will help others with the same question in the future. Could anybody please point me in the right direction to obtain a step by step guide specifically for the 350z or be able to explain how to do it? I've read before how the struts were fitted the wrong way around causing dents in the bootlid and I want to ensure I avoid this issue. Your help is very much appreciated Hassan
  15. Really nice meeting you and seeing the ride in person last night mate. It was a pleasure Keep up the great work!
  16. I've had Whiteline Adjustable Droplinks for around 8 months now and I've had no issues with them whatsoever.
  17. I've got one of these knocking about if you want to borrow it: http://www.coldsteel.com/Product/92BSS/BROOKLYN_CRUSHER.aspx
  18. My ex colleague who works at a bodyshop did it for me last week during his lunch break for free. My Wiper arms look brand new again
  19. I've got a genuine factory fitted NISMO N1 kit. Basically the easiest way to verify if its a genuine kit is to remove the engine Undertray and behind the number plate area there'll be a sticker that's fibreglassed into the bumper. The sticker will consist of a NISMO logo with the red 'o' and a hand written long number which consists of various letters and numbers. Also the genuine front bumper will have the headlight washer jets and the required mechanism and also a toeing eye with a black rubber grommet
