  1. Soho motorsports single turbo kit?..... I'd quite happily be a guinea pig to see if it fits...

     

    Having looked into this kit again, I think somebody that does piping work like this should not be allowed to touch cars :lol: :lol: Are you sure?!

    Yeah, think the piping looks ok it's either like this or go across the top and run in front of the engine.... Like the momentum performance kit which used to be in production.

  2. So there hasn't been any updates for a while, progress has been slow but the car is now in the bodyshop. I stripped all the bumpers, handles and badges off etc and began to flat stuff done in preparation for fresh paint. Worst part by far was stripping the mirrors completely down as I have decided to do the base plates gloss black.

     

    Overview of the work being done,

     

    Full respray in standard colour wv2,

    Gloss black door handles, mirror baseplates and b pillar trims,

    Smoothed off plate holes and nissan badge on front bumper,

    Jdm rear bumper painted my colour and fitted,

    Corrosion free bonnet painted and fitted,

    Smoked side repeaters and insides of the front headlights done gloss black.

     

    I will also be fitting all my carbon goodies with the help of my mates bodyshop once all the painting is done and car back together.

     

    Here are some pictures of the process/progress :)

    Here are some pictures of the front bumper smoothing, using an old damaged bumper I made plugs for the holes which were then plastic welded in place, likewise I have begun the same for the nissan badge.

  3. Scott, I also had the same problem when I fitted them in my Corsa. I'm 6ft 2 and the height of them didnt give me much room for my knees below the steering wheel. As you say they look wicked in a zed, kind of glad I let mine go though, myself il probably go for a set of brides. What seats are you thinking of now?

  4. They do look mint in a zed. Mine were the same but had grey alcantara centres would have looked great in my silver stone grey zed. But messed around with mine enough to fit my Corsa let alone the 350z. Keep it up! May encourage me to buy another pair lol

  5. The Corsa ones are probably the worst ones to get to fit in other cars. I believe the mini and focus ones you may be able to get the 350z rails for a fit to them. I sold my old Corsa vxr seats last week from my Corsa c which were destined for the zed as just deemed it too much of a pain to get them to fit. Is a shame as there very nice seats

  6. Nice to see that you are beginning to organise/get started with the build! can't wait to see it all done nice to see a fair few SC Zeds on here now. Plan to start collecting bits next year once my visual mods are done.... We can compare builds!

     

    Keep the updates coming!

     

    P.s bumper is all flatted down and got hold of a corrosion free bonnet which is half prepped on the way to mint paintwork :)
