What spoiler do you have?
I had this issue with the Nismo v1 spoiler and added 3p in each spring wrapped in insulation tap - still got the weight in and on original struts. Then I gumm'ed the spring rubbers hoping they don't damage the paint work and all is good so far.
Another trick is to use sticky back foam cut in circles on the underneath where the springs land. They cushion the springs and though over time will wear, a sheet of this sticky foam will last a while to just replace when/if. Used to do this on some of my previous cars to make sure the paintwork never got damaged.

Yep easy enough to wire to side lights though no where near as clever as was joely's done and not totally legal but that's how I'm doing mine (coz I'm not as clever!). Putting a cut off switch in the cockpit as well
-
Count me in - providing I'm keeping car (which looks like I will) then I'd def be up for these!
Would be looking at possible a door cover for the dash? and how about the inserts for the door handles (i.e. the pulls)....

Would love a final shopping list produced when done - think this is going to be awesome

I've been umming and arghing for a while over a few options: Porsche Cayman S, Evo X or super charging the 350Z - however I've now added the 370z as a possibility and hoping to test drive shortly.
Ruled out all BMW options, though outside they look great, power is amazing the inside for me is soooooo boring !
I'd love to go to 996 territory but just don't think I can afford it yet
-
Get it on anyway Nick
Always good to know
-
Oh - just got your pm - been away for few days and work.
Still count me in! I'll pay now.
Jeepers - didn't know you used to be on the SW-CC scene - god they were the days!
-
Awesome
Cheeky I know but do you have a wiring schema to do the diming and alike? What did you tap into in the end for the power?
-
-
I've done the same as plummerman just not finished! Lol
Didn't know they need to dim when lights are on
-
Either of you doing the 30th March track day there?
Thinking of going and trying my 350z out on the track

Kris - I think with the revups the only option is wheel liner - I've tried the other way twice and no joy!

Hi Mick
I went last year and fell in love with the place!
We did 5 nights and I wish I'd managed to afford another 2 . Whatever you do don't fly BA they were crap! My Virgin experiences are much better (suit you!)
The Andaz in Wall Street is an amazing hotel - highly recommend.
Some highlights of trip:
Statue of Liberty
The beast boat trip
Def do the 3 sightseeing bus trip routes and the night tour is amazing
Top of the rock
Watch jersey boys
Watch the Mormons
Movie tour (photos of ghostbusters fire station! Sweet!)
The ride (hilarious fun!)
Cycle over the bridges
Horse and carriage through Central Park
Play the "big" piano in Schwarz
Visit to Tiffanys (but you will spend a fortune!)
And the churches there are amazing inside
Def recommend a metro card for the tube - so easy to get everywhere!
Avoid food in Times Square - so expensive and full of rude foreign waitresses! However amazing place to eat is the A salt and battery - it's a British chip shop which was fantastic!
Umm any other advice/help just ask! Lol did quite a bit of research before going! Hoping to go back in 2 years!
-
Damn! now you're tempting me to get rid of the Scorpion back box and go for a full system.....
Need to count pennies and see if there is someone local who will fit
-
Think I've always had names for my cars! Lol
Mines called Kenzo - my previous cars include Barbara, Oldy,Jaffa, Sarah-Louise, Megan, Shadow, Taz, Henry, Davins, Naxy and Viv - think I've missed one or two but you get the jist! Lol

Hi All
Had the 350Z for around a year and a half and decided that it doesn't have enough kick from me. I've been looking around at the forced induction options and having had a turbo car in the past, I fancy a change and going super charger.
However my 350Z is a rev-up model and looking at all the FI cars here and the power I'm starting to really think I should have saved my money bought a DE version and still have roughly the same power output if I go down the SC route? I'd also save on the road tax?
Is there actually any advantage to having a revup if super charging?
-
Desperately in need of a dry decent day to do a load of work on the 350z and treat it to a nice clean
-
Agree with RT - I personally would like a drop off solution - not aware of many garages to me that would be willing to take this in let alone I'd trust but always hear good stories about Abbey, Horsham and RT!
Any reason why GTM is being preferred? Is it a better set up than a Vortech? Only reason I'm asking is I'm waying up the costs if going FI compared to a different car and alike
-
I'm game! Sounds good to me and not heard anything bad about them
Was planning a visit to a local rr soon to check what I'm currently running before the playing starts

Octet
Car sounds great! quick question - will the art pipes still pass the MOT like the berk HFCs? Or do you need to replace temporarily like decats?
Oh by the way - is your car a rev up?
-
I was in the same dilemma about 2 years ago!
Loved the looks of the Z4M coupe but had always wanted a 350z as well.
Test drove both and personally for me the 350z was far more comfortable, drove better and the interior was far superior! I couldn't believe how bad, basic and cheap the Beemer looked inside.
I've been looking round other cars last couple of months and did test dive an M3 which was amazing to drive but again the interior for me was shocking
-
Did this sell in the end? Or still available?
-
Ill be there
-
Kyte - glad you're on and all working!
Hope to see ya at the next one!
ahhhhh this boot is driving me nuts
