  3. Give your zed something a little bit special this Xmas and treat her with a Rare JDM harness cover (Black). It's as new, mint condition!! Yours for only £100 delivered in the UK (Recorded). Thanks for looking
  4. Unfortunately it needs to be economical as well, sorry, but thanks for the offer.
  5. Here we have the very reluctant sale of my UK GT spec 350z which comes fully loaded with factory optional Birdview Sat Nav, Rear Parking Sensors, lightweight Rays alloys, Brembo brakes, Bose sound system, heated leather seats, climate control, A/C, electric adjustable seats, cruise control, traction control, steering controls, trip computer, 6-spd manual, headlight washers, adjustable steering rack, thatcham Cat 1 alarm system, HPI clear. Taxed until Feb 2014 and MOT'd until July 2014 - Sailed through it's last MOT. Looking for £7750.£7500 I have owned the car for almost 2 years and have loved every minute, it has never let me down and is a pleasure to drive. I am a Japanese car enthusiast on the 350z forum and have always owned Japanese cars. The engine purrs and pulls like a train and always turns heads through town. I am selling as I am looking to move house and need something with a few more seats. The car has had full Nissan service history and has just had a major P3 service completed on it last week replacing engine oil & filter, gearbox oil, diff oil and radiator fluid flush with Nissan genuine fluids and molyslip in the gearbox. It's also got new wipers, Denso Iridium spark plugs, brake & clutch fluid flush 6 months ago and new Gates drive belts last year. Interior and exterior condition is excellent, the usual stonechips on the front bumper. I've always maintained the car using snowfoam followed by auto glym polish and wax. As expected from a car of it's age there is the usual slight bubbling on the alloys and a few kerb marks but the wheels run true and strong. Underneath the car is in great condition, no leaks or rust in the sills etc. Tyres are in excellent condition, about 5-6mm on the rear with Vredestien Ultrac Sensatas (Much better than the Bridgestones) and Khumo Ecsta Sports on the front with around 3-4mm. As you can see from the pictures the car isn't exactly standard, I have made some subtle upgrades including: • Nismo style front diffuser • Nismo style rear spats • ING's style sideskirts • Front and Rear black 'Z' Badges • 40-60% Tinted windows • Stubby aerial • Carbon fiber Z badges • Engine Torque Damper • HKS Panel Filter • Horsham Plenum Spacer 1/2" • EVO-R Intake • Superpro ARB Polyurethane bushes front and rear • Eibach lowering springs • Eibach wheel spacers 15mm front, 20mm rear • Eibach rear toe arms • Eibach rear camber bolts • EBC high carbon blade discs (Front and Rear) • EBC yellowstuff pads • HEL braided brake lines • HEL braided clutch line • Motul RBF 600 brake fluid • Scorpion stainless steel cat back exhaust system • JVC AVX 740 Double Din Headunit w/DVD player & Bluetooth phone system • Reversing rear camera Other features/upgrades: • Orange Heated leather seats • Electric folding mirrors • HID headlights & LED sidelights/number plate lights • Painted black door handles and interior trim • CAT 1 alarm • Electric Adjustable Seats • Full Nissan 350z mat set including boot tray and rear glass visor • BOSE 6 speaker factory sound system Here's a link to the pistonheads ad: http://www.pistonhea...-owned/1842855#
  6. Hey, yep I'm probably going to have to pull out of this one I'm afraid. Realised I got tax for the zed this month, new tyres on the mazda and I need to refurb my rays. HFC's can wait. Not Si if Tarmac has any others lined up already, I'll send him a PM
  7. I fitted mine ok, very diddly, but it's on...will see if I can get a photo later. I fitted it using the stiller guide. Only difference is the bolt to the engine where I had to use a shoter one than supplied.
  8. 1: Missniki - DE 2: SuperStu - DE 3: Longsh07 - DE 4: kbeast35 -DE 5: ironhide - DE (might get a y-pipe too )
  9. So as these are full coilovers how do these fit on the rear? I thought that the rear strut mounts aren't strong enough to support the springs?
  10. Too right, should at least have the courtesy to provide a date.
  11. Is there any difference between the OEM Nissan ones and the eBay ones?
  12. Any update on when we can expect to receive these?
  13. Nice, good bit of kit them. I was tempted by the Stillen one in the sale section...but going to let my flexis' rot a little bit more
  14. Bit of an update from the past week. Wanted to install an oil catch can, but didn't want some generic eBay thing and ideally something baffled without spending £200 for a Mishimoto one!! Managed to pick this up off the eBay which was ideal as it has a sight, good positioning for the inlet/outlet and a cap to check the contents. Quick clean up: Then got some M10 to An8 adaptors in black (rather than the standard blue/red) But the ID on the M10 end was very narrow So drilled it bigger And fitted Next up, purple fittings (But of course) And some black braided hose, wanted to be different here. Now to make the catch can baffled, cut out a length of aluminium. Trimmed and test fitted Next the baffled bit, drilled lots of holes and cut two lines so it could be bent to create a filter effect. Bent the baffle into place so air can pass down one side and then up the other through the baffle. also drilled holes in the divider to allow air through should the oil level creep up higher than the main baffle. Test fit and added a support piece to stop it floating around inside the catch can. Next up some stainless mesh to act as secondary baffling. Opted for this rather than steel wool which can disintegrate. Folded it up a bit And inserted Next up I needed to create a bracket to allow the catch can to fit securely against the firewall Test fit in situ Plummed up and cut lengths of black braided hose, also added a cheeky purple finisher to the vaccum hose from the top of the manifold to the ABS system. Strut brace back in position Then added some extra stickers to celebrate completion of 'project oil catch can' Next up is to change the radiator overflow hose to black and add a purple finisher Also to replace the oil level sight pipe on the catch can, so got some clear pipe. Cut to length... and fitted...much better. So far after a week of blasting about I know it's working as there is a tiny amount of oil at the bottom of the can and the outlet/top of the baffle is squeaky clean That's all for now...just need something to tidy up the engine bay a little bit more...
  15. I just looked online at pics of the Stillen kit and the Horsham kit (Which has a guide) and made sure I contacted the common points. So long as you don't put a positive to a negative you can't go wrong.
