    Which spoiler?

    Is there a good V2 replica? Can't search the forums for v2 specifically as it's too short a word.

    Which spoiler?

    Going to be changing the look of the zed all round but can't decide what spoiler to go for. I was looking at the Nismo V1 but everytime I look at it I never think 'wow that would look awesome', so not sure it's for me! I'm going for a Chargespeed rear end but wanted to get a second/third/fourth opinion on what spoiler you think goes best. Nismo V1 Gia Cuzzo (Polish spoiler on eBay) Nismo V2 Lester Celica Spoiler I think the Lester is my favourite but it's whether it would work with the CS rear.
  3. I dream of the day that mine's even half that Can't wait to move out of a Manchester post code!
  4. Just sent payment over for one, hopefully help solve the scraping I'm getting on my new wheels when going over speed bumps!
  5. I love the rasp above 4k but I'm tempted to buy a popcharger just to see what the combo together sound like!
  6. Rather than faff around for ages trying to remove the residue left under the 350z badges I thought I'd invest in 'Goo Gone'. Well worth the money! Took the residue off in minutes whereas my attempts with boiling water and a hairdryer failed the other weekend. This is definitely a worthy investment for removing anything sticky Goo Gone
  7. If you can get a price for pre-06 that would be great!
  8. Thanks! Got them from someone on Driftworks They're off an BMW E65, don't know of many people running them on a 350z as they require PCD adaptors. I was going for Rota GTR's but wanted something different, work really well Plastidipped
  9. Definitely interested in a group buy
  10. Got someone coming round on Thursday to have a look at the arches, £120 for all 4 so hopefully rolling them should leave enough room! I'm selling the spacers, 20mm all round, but I only have 5 nuts as I wouldn't want to sell the others due to their condition. You can get the nuts for £1 each on Driftworks though or official Eibach ones for £2.60 each Will get a thread up tonight once I've taken some photos. I'm keeping the Rays for winter wheels and any track days I do, as I don't fancy tracking the car with the stretched tyres. Might be tempted to sell but would depend on the price. Next on the list is to wrap the centre console, install steering wheel controls for the headunit finally. Then it's on to exterior styling!
  11. There's another guy on Facebook in the US that does them, $190. https://www.facebook.com/EmpireDude350zLedReflectors I think I'm gonna try myself over the next few weeks with a set of clear reflectors and an LED strip from Maplins. Can't be that hard can it?
  12. Just done it, literally took 5 minutes. I found turning the the wheel to the left helped more but either way works I guess! If you're looking for a cheap pump then head to ECP - http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Nissa ... 510&000599 It's the exact same one that Nissan sell, fits perfect
  13. Lockwood & Greenwood, only place I take my car to in/around Manchester
  14. They've stopped doing discounts for members. Just one flat rate as far as I know, that was back in December when my car was serviced and MOT'd.
  15. The spacers I have are Eibach and are 20mm all round. Let me know if you're interested as I'm going to put a for sale thread up tonight with few bits.
  16. I've just taken a set off my car, will check if they're 20/25 or 25 all round. Thanks
  17. Tyres were 245/40/18, now 235/35/19. The stretch probably doesn't help with the level of comfort!

    Coilovers

    Looking for a second hand set of coilovers. Not looking to drop the car below 30mm so HSD or Meister would be good. Thanks
  19. I do try! But even potholes aside, British roads are awful so looking for something slightly more comfortable for daily use but with some sort of drop as I don't want big gaps between wheel and arch.
  20. That's what I'm going to do next. I was going to wrap them but I might spray them just to see how they cope for a few weeks. Can always wrap afterwards.
  21. Scraping, If I go VERY slow over the speed bumps it's fine, but if I'm angled at all regardless of speed the car will scrape. Where I'm working there is a speed bump just after a corner so there's no way of going over it straight on. I'll look at Tein springs, I just don't want the car to look like it's on stilts but I do need a softer ride for day to day use. Would the Tein springs just increase ride height but still have the same stiffness going over potholes etc?
  22. My car is currently on Eibach Pro Springs (30mm drop) but I'm struggling to get over even small speed bumps with my new wheels on. I didn't think changing from 18" to 19" wheels would affect how low the car is? If anything I thought a bigger wheel diameter would increase ride height? With the new wheels the ride has also become too stiff for my liking so wondering if coilovers would be better or just another set of springs? Definitely don't want to go lower than 30mm as I think as a daily driver I need 20-25mm drop as 30mm at the minute is causing problems and I wouldn't mind a bit of a softer ride as well. Don't want to drop ~£1000 on a set of coilovers to find the the ride is still very firm and I'm still struggling with speed humps if a different set of springs would do the same job.
  23. Hats off for getting it sorted quickly, out of interest how's the hosting/server all paid for? I'd have no issue sticking a few quid towards if ever needed
  24. Looks good, will be doing mine when the weather picks up as it was easy to do my wheels, door handles and badges.
  25. Read a few people had marks where the 350z had been and wouldn't clean off! Might try it after the footy though, no patience!
