sunshine

Im in stoke just outside hanley

This was my old 350z

Hey finally replaced my 350z that met its bitter end on the M6 a few years ago

Had a look at a few 370z but wasn't really blown away..

Until I saw a nismo model and then my heart was set haha.

So after the longest three months ever it finally arrived this week.

Safe to say I'm over the moon with it

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Still haven't charged my good camera up but heres another, all clean ready for japfest!

I had it done by a friend of a friend, he's not a business as such as he doesn't advertise. He's quite reknown around here as being brilliant and gets his work mostly through garages coming to him.

I wouldn't like to say exactly how much, as he's done it me far too cheap. I gave him a bit more than what he asked me for doing it as I'm absolutely delighted with it. But if I said circa a grand it's not far off.

I'll get some more clearer photo's today and some before and afters for comparison

Picked her up from respray today

Im absolutly delighted with it, it looks better than brand new. Big thanks to kev with the beard (thats all I know him as) for doing a absolutly superb job and bringing back to life this awesome car.

Also special mention to cougar store for supplying the spacers/camber kit, i ordered them at dinner yesturday and they this morning!

Right im off to go sit in the garage and stare for a while

Big thanks to CS.

Ordered wheel spacers and a rear camber kit at 13:30 yesturday and they arrived next day, superb service.

Will deffinatly use again

Gunmetal preferbly but its getting painted anyway so not bothered aslong as its in good physical condition

Hi i need a nearside (passenger) headlamp washer cover please.

Mines A 54 pre-facelift if it makes any difference

Cheers will call towards end of the month

Hi guys just a quick query. How much would it cost roughly for a 4 way wheel alignment on a 350z? The cars currently been lowered 30mm on eibach springs and has eibach rear adjustable camber arms and larger offset toe bolts to bring the alignment back into tolerance, just needs setting up. Cheers.

Quick update on this...

I finally pulled my thumb out over the last month and put a considerable amount of effort (and money) into repairing the zed and putting it back on the road.

Passed its mot yesterday with flying colours and feels great!

Getting full wheel alignment done next week and treating it to a full detail

I remember a member of the forum was making carbon covers for the front lip but I can't remember who it was..are they still active? Wouldn't mind purchasing one

I recently saw a v8v for sale, 2005 plate, 40,000miles, manual, full dealer history ect

£27k :o

Makes you wonder what kind of mental buys a brand new Aston, but I salute those who do!

One car I hope to own one day.

Hmmmm brand new 370z or second hand vantage?

Yeah im not holding out much hope at coming across a pair thought i'd give it a punt though!

CS, is that price per side or for a pair?

Sure i looked on your site not pong ago and it said price for one kit?

Bit pricy! Hoping someone may have a used kit lying round..

Hi i'm after a a set of rear adjustable camber arms and bigger toe bolts for my z to put the geo back in spec after dropping 30mm.

Cheers

Do you have the o.e.m gear knob?

I'm still after just one front ray

No luck with zedman

Already messaged thanks

As the title. Any condition aslong as its not buckled/cracked as its going to be powder coated anyway.

Cheers

Its an illusion the one on the right is slightly higher up

As you can see i've made abit of a howler soourcing a secondhand lower control arm.

Apart from the forging number look at the difference in spotface height above the balljoint taper.

This causes not enough thread from the balljoint from the upright to go through the taper and put a split pin in.

Taking a few crude measurements im pretty sure the arms are identical apart from this.

Now my plan is to take in into work on monday and re-machine the spotface identical to the old arm.

Just wondering if anyone can confirm the balljoint tapers are the same? I can only measure across the top and bottom and they seem the same but I cant measure accuratly at home.
