  1. Try Zmanalex, he may have a set, if not, I have a spare drivers side
  2. £6500, 19" LMGT4's, Nismo exhaust, alu kick plates, 55k miles, bargain! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-NISSAN-350Z-GT-ROADSTER-3-5L-V6-GUNMETAL-GREY-NISMO-S-S-EXHAUST-19-WHEELS-/190905019545?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c72d36c99
  3. This is the downfall of these auto ad things that try to show something on topic.
  4. I'm burning £120 of fuel a week at the moment in the Zed, travelling from Brum to London twice a week plus local commute. Luckily the company pay my expenses so I'm not fussed. Not too bad in your case because fuel is paid for. Do they pay for the depreciation of the car with mileage too and a set of tyres every year?
  5. I got some genuine 06 led rears from Zedmanalex and they plugged straight on to my pre face lift loom Maybe already fettled with? Or mine came off an HR write off so maybe HR are different which wouldn't make sense
  6. If you're going that far for lightening just fill them with helium! Or hydrogen, it's even lighter again. Wouldn't want to clip a kerb though!
  7. These for you or the girlfriend?

    Try sending a couple of the traders on here a pm. Try tarmac and CS
  9. Yea that's what I meant, you have to undo the 6 poppers on top and the 2 screws each side in the arches, then it should drop nicely to get a hand in. Anyone done it by removing less?
  10. That's actually +4 then... So +5 including me, but I may change my mind since they'll be as common as chargespeed rear bumpers soon by the looks of it
  11. 4 tanks of petrol every 3 weeks better you than me
  12. I'm only messing, pic whore away. It gives people like me something to compare their @*!# engine bays too It better fix the problem or next step is the stillen bonnet which looks like crap!
  13. Did you post more pix? I never noticed I heard you mention that before and seen the evidence on smudgens brace. It shouldn't be a problem for me as I'm aiming to get a 07+ bulge which should eliminate the problem... I hope! I can't remember if I tried to web order with them or if I couldn't work it out or if it wouldn't work with international shipping, either way, I didn't do it I'll try again when I get home and see why I never did it... I have a look on the US site from time to time waiting for one but their grabbed up very fast, except one which had been powder coated "chrome" and as a result, looked like @*!#!
  14. I think he means bulbs, like the interior etc bulbs and not whole tail lamp units. I think you are correct Ah we'll, my point still stands should you wish to convert ALL ROUND correctly
  15. Will you stop teasing me? I did think about polishing the strut and painting the feet or getting you to do it, but I think I'm gonna go with the summit brace from redline. Thanks for helping in the search mate. They are still making them and trading as Arc Brazing but I can't seem to get them or any other Arc traders to reply to me. They're all in Japan and my Japanese is a bit rusty
  16. An hours labour which of course varies depending on where you go.
  17. Basically plug and play, but you'll need to file down the guides on the plug because the facelift one is a mirror of the pre 06 one. That's only if you go for official Nissan ones, the ones you buy from the states on eBay for about £160 are 100% plug and play
  18. Stage SEVEN!!! Why oh why did I start this stage? So, my bay looked like everyone else's. Boring, dirty and even more dirty. Queue stage 7, the worst stage of all. Engine bay blinging First off I bought an orange slam panel from the forums group buy, the an orange bolt kit from Ian Hampton on here, then Octets polished plenum and throttle body when he began to break the 350 to "downgrade" to the 370 I also bought an orange Wasso plenum spacer and luckily the spacer and plenum arrived around the same time so I wasn't left off the road for too long. A few months ago I found an orange Samco hose kit on eBay second hand that I got for about half price and also bought the orange Samco intake hose from the FS section a few months before that. When I got the plenum and throttle body, they looks 100 times better than the dirty pitted one that most of us have, so I contacted Ian (Wasso) and he helped me immensely (thanks again Ian) with what to buy and how to actually polish the plenum to get it 1000 times better and almost up to the standard that he produces. I set to work on the old crappy and dirty bay and got the plenum polished up the best I could without a bench polisher and with just a drill. Because it had been previously Wasso polished it actually didnt take too much effort as the pitting was minimal compared to the old one. Also had a go at polishing the popchargers heat shield, got a half decent result, but I really needed a bench polisher to get the results I was after, but it'll do Fitted all the hoses, spacer, bolts and intake hose and it was done in a few hours after diagnosing why the engine smelt like candy floss. I'd forgot to secure one of the coolant pipes to the plenum and it was spewing everywhere I still have more things to add, such as polished fluid tanks, oil and rad caps, new shiny strut brace, carbon bonnet dampers and finally an Arc V2 oil catch can, if I can get hold of one. Possibly then adding some sexy braided hoses and trying to compete with Wasso and Shires bays, which are stunning by the way if you haven't seen them before. So, here is the finished article and probably as far as i'll go until I get the exterior the way I want it. I've already got 2 of the 4 exterior bits I want, just need to other 2 hens teeth parts when they become available
  19. I though the P2 had the air filter change too, just like the P3? Personally I'd change oil and filters and also do the plugs, coolant and brake fluid if the they haven't been done under your ownership.
  20. That's a bit of a weird one and sounds like electrical gremlins to me. Hope you get it sorted, mate, it'd be really @*!# to be stuck at the roadside again.
  21. Will this still fit with the Vortech V3 supercharger fitted? Of course, it's just an OEM piece that you already have that's been painted. I think Will asks "why bother?" Because it can't really be seen. I've put quite a bit of time into my bay recently and I've no idea what shape my cover is in.
  22. Are you having a laugh? Of course it's all relative to what a person is used to, but it'll take several hours for someone with the right tools and knows kind of what they're doing. Not something I'd take on if it wasn't completely necessary.
