What about using a hole saw?

When I was looking all i could find on the net was one 350 but it was two tone midnight purple and silver looked terrible.

In a few years when funds allow I might be getting mine sprayed in midnight purple that you get on the r33's been quoted 2k to do it.

These covers do you get two parts or is it just one piece that you can see if the picture?

Just had a look on the nissan website as I didn't know they jad changed the 370z the new wheels are horrible the old wheels look much better I'd buy a low milage used one if i was you.

Bargain

Good project it's always good to sort out any problems before modding keep up the good work, where did you get your cargo net from I want one for £6

I think you would prob get done for it, some sort of indecent exposure plus it's not exactly appropriate for kids ect.

At least you still have the turbo engine but unlucky about the rest of it.

Welcome and nice zed.

Obviously you will get more now than in two years time for it but that's just depretiation for you, do you think you would regret selling her or possibly buy another one as you missed the fun? It's a hard choice.

Ha ha wonder how old his son is, and surely this is a joke he couldent just take the car off him unless his dad actualy owns it.

There's a checklist in the 350Z Service Manual. The link is here, it's very useful. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/2726-350z-service-manual/ I don't think it's much above and beyond what you have already done, mainly more in depth checks. Nice looking Zed - can I ask why you changed the gaskets on your rocker cover? Was it just for general maintenance? I changed the rocker gaskets because one of them was leaking so thought I would change them whilst the plenium was off.

Cheers

I keep seeing stuff about a p3 service what does it include as I have done a lot what else do I need to do diff and gearbox oil?

Looks tidy did cutting the plastic out improve the sound quality?

The first set they tried re welding and sent them back to me with gaps in the weld, so they sent me a new set i fitted them and then they broke removed them and got hold of japspeed spoke to them and they said they would call me back and never did so no i didnt get a refund for the second set i also had to replace the lambda sensor that was damaged when they fell apart at a cost of £80. They are side step skirts from a company called Knight Racer i also got my splitter from them and both were a good fit.

no traction was ok and yes he was trying, i dont know how it works as i though it would eat me and spit me out but they were evenly matched all the way throught the rev range.

both cars were evenly matched.

welcome along nice zed.

Cheers guys ive spent alot of time on her trying to make her the best she can be by using good quality parts apart from the crap speed obviously. Ive got more plans for her but its always down to funds i want a ts style carbon rear diffuser to finish the outside off and a full respray possibly in midnight purple. I havent driven her since november as i had to leave my job due to my leg its been @*!# but hopfully il have her back on the road next month.

So i spent the summer enjoying her after fitting the second set of decats but then in november last year me and my girlfriend were on our way home from the cinema and the exhaust got really loud so i pulled over and the second set of de-cats had fallen apart again after another 2000 miles. As the winter was fast approching and the tax was due to run out at the end of november i decided to take her off the road for the winter so i put her in the garage. I had to change back to the factory cats and i had done 5000 miles since the last service so i also had to service her, but whilst she was in the garage for the winter i wanted to do a few more bits to tidy her up. so i decided to underseal the arches and get a front splitter and side skirts to make the outside abit more aggresive. I started to strip her down. After taking all the arch liners and coilovers out i found some very light surface rust so i sanded it back to bare metal and undersealed it with three layers to give good protection. And then the final result after three coats. Then i cleaned all the coilovers and wheel arch liners up and refitted. Then i took all the brakes apart gave them a mental clean up sanded all the rust off the hubs and discs, greased everythin up and re fitted. when taking the front brakes apart i noticed the pads were low so i bought some Cosworth street master pads. So i bought an HKS oil filter and gave it a oil and filter change, new air filter replacement and aux belts. I recieved my splitter and side skirts from knight racer and fitted them.

So i bought my 2005 jdm fairlady z in december 2010 with 62k on it, i wanted a uk car but due to having one leg i needed an auto and found out it was an import or no 350z for me. The car had a few mods on it when i bought it but before i bought the car i had a list of mods to order straight away. She didnt have a single bit of service history with her but she sounded and drove sweet so it didnt put me off. This is when i first got her. Next was to get these new parts ordered, i ordered a japspeed y-pipe and de-cats, horsham developments plenium spacer, new hks air filter, viper performance coolant hoses, genuine oil filter and coolant, ngk platinium spark plugs and genuine rocker cover gaskets, oil and got to work fitting it all. I was really happy with all the new bits fitted and big service the car felt much nicer and more responcive. whilst doing the work i also found out i had Do-Luck braided brake lines and an Amuse titanium exhaust system. when i found out how much the exhaust system cost my mouth dropped so this was a great peice of news. About a week after id fitted all the new parts i put in an order for some Rota grid drifts in 19'' it took me quite alot of research to work out what widths to go for but i ended up with fronts in 9.5'' rears in 10.5'' both with an offset of ET20. Before i could fit my wheels i needed the rear arches rolling so i got Arch enimies round to do them for me. whilst ordering my wheels i forgot to ask for black wheel nuts so i had to buy some along with black locking nuts i also bought a stubby aerial, carbon fiber z inserts and b pillar covers. So the performance was now abit better, a nice big service done and some nice external mods done however she was still ridding high so i did abit of research and found out that hsd coilovers were really good so i ordered a set of them, i was so excited to get them fitted. I set the coilovers up abit on the safe side lol and gave her a good clean and wax. So then about a week later i set them up properly, ran them in and stiffened them up by three clicks. I then had problems with my new de-cats they had fallen apart after 2500 miles so i had to take them off and get her mot'ed which she passed fine. i then took my girlfriend away for the weekend down to cornwall in the zed which was wicked this is a few pictures. As japfest was coming up i treated the car to a dodo juice goodie pack. I also dewipered the rear as it looks alot better.

I was never a massive fan of the 350's because of not having a turbo never thought much of them, then i watched a few videos on youtube and fell in love with the sound I bought the first one I looked at and have never looked back. I also am used to turbos cars and the 350 with a few mods is a bloody quick car mines only about 300 bhp but it keeps up with a mates RB25 200sx which is 400 bhp. As for handling I found the standard suspension very bouncy but with wheels and coilovers I can't fault it its awsome handling now. As someone else said you do have to rag it to get the best out of it abit like a big type r.

I just checked mine and last year it was £260 sorry
