  2. 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

    Here's a link to the pistonheads ad: http://www.pistonhea...-owned/1842855#

  3. 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.

     

    null_zpsbcd0bf8e.jpg

     

    Quick clean up:

     

    null_zpsfa3c0e4c.jpg

    null_zps2b413971.jpg

     

    Then got some M10 to An8 adaptors in black (rather than the standard blue/red)

    null_zpse7e4d711.jpg

     

    But the ID on the M10 end was very narrow

    null_zps8939e424.jpg

     

    So drilled it bigger :)

    null_zps196791e5.jpg

     

    And fitted

    null_zps648c0bb6.jpg

     

    Next up, purple fittings (But of course)

    null_zps368c3f8b.jpg

     

    And some black braided hose, wanted to be different here.

    null_zps7523d944.jpg

     

    Now to make the catch can baffled, cut out a length of aluminium.

    null_zps8cefd2ed.jpg

     

    Trimmed and test fitted

    null_zps64b88365.jpg

     

    Next the baffled bit, drilled lots of holes and cut two lines so it could be bent to create a filter effect.

    null_zps1c2d1dd0.jpg

     

    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.

    null_zps8644e181.jpg

     

    Test fit and added a support piece to stop it floating around inside the catch can.

    null_zpsee8a8b3b.jpg

    null_zps81b79fbc.jpg

     

    Next up some stainless mesh to act as secondary baffling. Opted for this rather than steel wool which can disintegrate.

    null_zpsce6af957.jpg

     

    Folded it up a bit

    null_zpscea15c69.jpg

     

    And inserted

    null_zps9cb7898c.jpg

     

    Next up I needed to create a bracket to allow the catch can to fit securely against the firewall

    null_zpsa2e560e2.jpg

     

    Test fit in situ

    null_zps3c9b9a1d.jpg

     

    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.

    null_zps838c3824.jpg

     

    Strut brace back in position

    null_zpsbeeec277.jpg

    null_zpsedb4d722.jpg

     

    Then added some extra stickers to celebrate completion of 'project oil catch can' :yahoo:

    null_zps277ac3dd.jpg

     

    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.

    null_zpsad73bf11.jpg

     

    Cut to length...

    null_zpsc8667354.jpg

     

    and fitted...much better.

    null_zps3981c324.jpg

     

    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 :teeth:

     

    That's all for now...just need something to tidy up the engine bay a little bit more... B)
