Hi!

You need some braided hoses and titanium bolts

This is how the 350z DE kit will look like in standard natural titanium colour, also available in 6 finishes like the 370z kits already available. Professional photos once all the kits are here. 61 pieces in total.

If you need fitting instructions for that, I quit... :lol:

PM sent

Why PM? We don't have any secrets, the prices are the same for everybody £689 for all 4 Koni shocks. If you find them cheaper in UK let me know

Hence the advantage of the coilovers, where you're able to adjust the stiffness. Separate springs and shocks is false economy in my opinion. I had the 350z Tein Springs on my car, then went coilovers, night and day difference.

Go on, get it fitted this evening, let's see some porn photos

Welcome!

Not in our warehouse, Bilstein has only 1 in stock as far as I can see: 350z Bilstein B6 Nissan Type VR Monotube Shock Absorber

Here it is: 350z Bilstein B8 2003 Base Front Left 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber - 1 in stoc 350z Bilstein B8 2003 Base Rear 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber - 8 in stoc 350z Koni Sport (Yellow) Shock - Right Front - 7 in stock 350z Koni Sport (Yellow) Shock - Left Front - 5 in stock 350z Koni Sport (Yellow) Shock - Rear - 6 in stock

TORQEN S coilovers then! :lol: Let me see what we have in stock on the Bilstein B6, back in a sec.

More shipped today, first post updated. Nearly ran out of 350z undertrays, will order a new batch next week, but prices will go up slightly, get yours while we still have them in stock. Also ordered hardware kits for 50 more undertrays, same excellent quality, now star retainers also included in the 350z hardware kits and plastic push on clips in the 370z kits.

Helping you not to waste your money, but spend it wisely :D

Just spoke to these guys: http://www.specialistvehiclepreparations.com/blog/porsche-cayman-boxster-911-996-997-engine-rebuild-prices-uk They want £10k + VAT to fully rebuild the engine :lol:

It's more like Albanian engineering if you ask me...

On the to do list, just overwhelmed with the amount of products, queries, orders etc. I need to start hiring

The 350z DE titanium engine bolts samples are here, they look awesome! Just giving the go ahead to the factory to start producing them. Will post some photos and details soon.

Alan, just get a set of proper coilovers, you have adjustability on hand

Will I ever in my life buy another Porker? Ha! Heard some rumours that the warranty company independent assessor was there to inspect the engine today, so it's waiting game now, hope they will cover the work.

Welcome on the internet, Ian!

Some more photos, prices to follow later today I'm hoping, we're ready to take orders 15mm TORQEN R spacers 20mm TORQEN R spacers 25mm TORQEN R spacers 30mm TORQEN R spacers

:lol: True story

Spoke to the previous owner, as expected, he's a nice guy and looked after the car as per the invoices, receipts, service history etc: Here is what he said: "Hi Adrian. That is upsetting and I'm very sorry that you have been landed with such a bill. I have never seen the engine, as it's all tucked away in Porsches and I'm not a mechanic so don't have the ability to look. Is it worse than other cars of the same age? I only just put £1500 or so into it for the service etc. So you transferred the warranty over and they still won't cover any of it?" "I've always been very careful to keep the oil topped up as the guy that sold it to me said these engines use a lot of oil. He said a litre every 1000km is not unusual. Plus the flaring when you start from cold. Sounds like your guys disagree. I've always done whatever work is required and then some - when one rear shocker went I replaced both to ensure no differential in strength. When one coil pack went I replaced all of them for the same reason. It is very disappointing that the engine is like that given I've always exceeded any work required. Would the corrosion/boring lead to breakdown? If so then the warranty would cover it. Once again I'm very sorry but I genuinely did not know about these issues and wouldn't have done until pointed out, or breakdown, which is what the warranty is for." "My apologies again, I feel bad that this has happened. Persevere with the warranty people and hopefully they'll come through. It's what they're supposed to be there for at the end of the day."
