WOW

Hmm.. thanks guys, don't know whether it's a good thing of a bad thing!

At least its ready if I ever want to take it on the track.

It's located behind the front bumper in front of the radiator and has nice blue/red pipe connectors on it.

It looks very fancy to be standard equipment.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has one fitted?

I'm guessing it's an oil cooler and came with the car when I got it.

Does the old gear knob just pull off?

 

I bet you can`t wait, mines been off the road for about 4weeks now, drove it gingerly yesterday down to abbey MS but that was still very enjoyable.

 

Where abouts in the country are you?

That blue looks absolutely amazing!!

Might have to exchange the gun metal for azure..

Info for Ken(and anyone else interested):

The wheels fitted on mine are 18" 5 spokes, with kerbing and some corrosion.

Shadow chrome is achieved by preparing the alloy and spraying the wheel in gloss black, it is cured using IR(infra red) heat.

It is then sprayed with chrome paint (more chrome=more silvery look).

Finally, it is lacquered and cured.

This method is the mobile van method (most anyway).

If the wheels are sent off (done at a static unit), normally it will get completely stripped down to bare metal.

Powdered coated in gloss black.

Cured in a high temperature oven.

Chrome paint applied.

Finally lacquer coating (powder or wet depends on company).

I am not here to advertise, so will just advise you to use any reputable company who know how to apply shadow chrome.

Hope this helps.

They will make your Bollo's sweat.......

Haha.. true, didn't really think about that! I actually don't mind the cloth seats for now..

When the other car gets sold (BMW Z3), I may try and look for some GT leathers.

Thanks

I must admit, I drove the car home without Road Tax the day I got it, so spend 1.5 hours driving it on the motorway!

It puts the biggest smile on my face

I have always LOVED this car, now they're cheap, I've finally got one!

I have seen these seats:

I just thought I'd gather some opinions on them, as I have cloth seats in mine and these seem like a decent upgrade at a good price!

Oooh, it's very tempting!!

Went to the post office today, they said the cut off day is tomorrow (2 days before new month)!

Even if it is taxed early, it is not valid... so may get a fine?

Hi,

This is going to be a long weekend! Why?...

Picked up a 350z recently, but is on SORN and not worth taxing it for the rest of this month (4 days to go)!

In the meantime it's been valeted, wheels refurbed in dark shadow chrome, fitted a Sony stereo I had lying around (didn't have one at all), updated the iPod, got a richbrook 350z tax disc holder off eBay.

Can't wait to drive her...

Did you have any luck with the JDM wiring colours?
