M6's are pretty solid except for the SMG pump on the pre facelifts. Buy a LCI 08+ model with the LED rear lights and front indicators and it'll be fine. However, you're not getting a facelift for £14k unfortunately. 

Wherever you can find it cheapest.

Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, mine doesn't have the Nismo spoiler, just the standard lip one. I don't want to make hard work of closing the boot than necessary, if you know what I mean. 

It'll be fine, it really not that hard to close it.

For me this isn't even remotely an option. Personally I think the Nismo is the best sounding exhaust on a Zed. Not being biased because I have one, I thought this before I even had a Zed. The sound from the outside and with the windows down is just what I want. Stripping the interior won't be an issue for me as I enjoy doing it and Ive got to strip it anyway to make the modifications to the boot.

I don't disagree, I have a Nismo with decats too, plus parts of the interior stripped out to fit the roll cage, but I would never dream of trying to hide that noise. How about drive in 5th instead of 6th when it starts to drone, that way it's a nicer note

Just my 2 pennies worth. I have a decatted Nismo system so not quite the same as your setup. The drone for me is not too bad I don't really tend to notice it. The issue I have is that when I have my daughter in the car she talks quite softly and I end up getting out the other end having agreed to cinema trips and toys and days out etc. and its costing me a fortune.

 

To that end I've been looking at soundproofing and what I am planning is to use something like dynamat across the entire boot floor and the transmission tunnel (although I will probably end up doing the entire floorplan whilst the carpet is out). This will stop the vibrations/rattles etc being transmitted around the shell. The next step is to add a layer of foam to absorb soundwaves. Then on top of this I am looking at some sort or rubber type sound blocker.

 

Not entirely sure if this will cut out the specific frequencies I'm after but hopefully should make a difference. I have experienced this in another car and did the above 3 phase sound deadening and it did make such a difference so Im hoping I will notice the difference in the Zed aswell.

 

Hope this helps mate.

To be honest, mate, if you're gonna go that far with sound deadening, you'd be safer just swapping out the exhaust. Sell the Nismo and buy a brand new Milltek with the money. That way it'll be much much quieter and you won't have to rip the car apart.

Currently £311 from Nissan as far as I can see. Price hasn't budged much in the last few years. Cheap as chips for such a desirable part, though.

It must have been hit, Why else would you remove a Nismo V2 front and OEM lights to fit one of the fugliest bumpers and woeful looking headlights? Also, offside rear arch liner is missing, coupled with the wonky intercooler suggests damage too.

You don't have to drill to fit the aftermarkets form Eibach or the likes, you only need to do that if you wish to extend the adjustment.

91 is aki, an American measurement, we use Ron, which is about 4 higher than aki.

Dibs if 5tu doesn’t want them, though.

@5tu did you ever get decent mats?

Yup, someone get this bought. Awesome exhaust, especially when paired with decats.

Pretty sure there’s only an S-tune, so no Z-tune acryally exists. I think I’ve heard of a Z-tune GTR, though.

IMO if you're planning on keeping the car pretty much standard except the wheels and hidden components such as the exhaust etc, then silver is the way to go. If you plan on exterior mods, then Rota matt bronze will look excellent!

A cars numberplate isn’t based on when it was built, it’s when it was registered. The latter appears to be a very late registered vehicle and the former is quite common being an 06 registered pre facelift.

The North, IMO, begins level with Wales meets England by Chester, and the South begins where Wales meets England by Bristol. Everything is between in the Midlands.

My bro has the front splitter and rear spoiler. They actually look pretty good for bolts ons, but their carbon looks rubbish, so get the black.

Have you been to your local dealer?

Is your router a dual channel, i.e.. 2.4ghz and 5ghz?

What size tyres are you running and any issues with rubbing 

Thanks 

245/35 front 275/35 rear, no issues with running, but the rear arch was very very close before rolling it.

old thread I know

so your dropped 30mm on eibachs ? what is your wheel set up.

thanks

K-Sports actually, but same drop as Eibach. Wheels are 19x9.5 front, 10.5 rears, et20 all round.

Give @Tarmac@TarmacSportz a shout

That is a thing of beauty, except the silly looking shark fin. Looks like its basically a remake of the Macca F1.
