  1. I love the way the wheels stick out the arches a bit, especially the rear. Looks ace mate Can I ask what sizes/offset you went for to achieve the look? I'm running 19"x 9.5" ET20 fronts and 19"x10.5" ET20 rears with 20mm rear spacers so now the tears are effectively 19"x10.5" ET0
  2. I think 9.5" all round will look abit weak the rears will be well inside the arch unless you run spacers aswell.
  3. So this year there have been a few more updates so thought I'd put some pictures up as I like to keep my build thread up to date for people to see what I'm doing with it. So I managed to get hold of a mishimoto oil cooler kit cheap so I purchased that, a thermostatic sandwich plate, magnetic sump plug and an HKS oil filter and fitted it all. It took me a few more hours to fit than I thought it would but it's a great kit with everything you need to fit it. So I've always liked to have a nice engine bay but it's not been a priority in this car so I decided to do a few more little bits. I ordered from Tarmac Sports there engine bolt set in blue to match my hoses, there carbon bonnet dampers and some carbon side emblems which all fitted amazing so thanks Tarmac I'm really happy with the bits. Before And after I also clay bared the car which bought it up amazing as I had alot of marks on the bonnet and roof which have completely gone now. I also changed my rear tyres and went up to 265's and played around with the suspension settings which has really made a big difference in the cars stability. Next plans are to get new anti roll bars and drop links and try and do a track day in August. Il try and get some better pictures up in the next few weeks with how she sits now but untill then il leave this one here.
  4. Have a look at my build thread I've got 19"x9" ET 20 fronts and 19"x10.5" ET 20 rears with 20mm rear spacers. The build thread is the dark knight http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69978-the-dark-knights-build-thread/page__hl__%2Bdark+%2Bknight
  5. Just a thought for other members, are you not offering the ts style diffuser with the vortex generators on group buy?
  6. 13 row cooler will probably be about Half a liter Matt, my 19 row cooler adds about 0.7 of a litre.
  7. little update I've had the new tyres fitted and I still have the issue, I'm hoping it will go once the tyres have had 100 miles to bed in. Fingers crossed anyway.
  8. I have had the monopros on mine for the last three and a half years and absolutely love them. When I bought them this was the only set HSD made so I didn't have the choice saying that tho you do usually get what you pay for. The only thing that worries me with the cheaper HSD's is that the materials used might not be as good and I dout the corrosion protection is as good on the cheaper ones and that's something I would not want to skimp on.
  9. Welcome to the forum buddy I love the auto boxes.
  10. Received my bits yesterday thanks very much Chris, great products and great service.
  11. My mum hit a badger in her scirocco the other day felt so sorry for her only had the car a year and it's the second accident in it that's not her fault. Hope you get the car sorted buddy.
  12. Il be getting my new tyres fitted tomorrow so il update this once I've driven it.
  13. I never stated anywhere I had a 225/25/18 tyre lol
  14. There the 18" touring wheels but I had to put the fronts on the rear in order for it to pass its MOT so they only have 225 tyres on. I never had this problem with the 245 rear touring wheels on. I think it just the tyres are too small for the rear of the car I will be putting the rotas back on the rear in a few days with 265 tyres on and see if I still have the same issue. It has only happend since swapping the wheels tho so I'm sure it is to do with this rather than a sensor.
  15. Mine has never done this before but I currently have my gay touring wheels on rocking a huge 225 tyre and the problems started then never had this issue with the 10.5" rotas tho. It almost feels like the ABS is kicking in to keep you straight but it's just dangerious. Nearly dragged me off the road on Saturday.
  16. Will be interesting to see the replys on this as mine has been doing something similar lately, I'm pretty sure it's to do with my skinny rear tyres tho waiting to fit my new ones, does your slip light keep coming on aswell?
  17. Hey I've seen the washer set on your website but do you still stock the strut braces aswell?
  18. I'm not saying I know best as that's why I am asking for advice, but I have been running the same size tyre for three and a half years with no issues I'm just worried if I go to a 265 the tread will stick out of the arch and it won't be legal.
  19. I need new rear tyres on the zed and need to order them tonight so there fitted ready for japfest. Il be going for 255/35/19 on a 10.5" rim does anyone know if these tyres stretch ok as I am currently running falken FK452's and need to know if they will fit ok. Also any reviews would be great, I have looked through tyre threads on hear but don't have time to spend hours trawling through. Thanks in advance guys.
  20. I'm looking for some berk or invidia test pipes, I'm not intrested in japspeed parts as they fall apart. If anyone has a set they are willing to sell please let me know.
  21. I'm not too sure mate mines an import so I don't have cruise control. Think yours uses the same kit as mine tho as they only stock one for the zed.
  22. The hkb hub also comes with something to keep the airbag light off was a good kit, I changed my steering wheel because it looks a lot better and feels a lot nice to drive with, plus it saves about 5Kg
