  1. Check out this body kit at http://vorschlag.biz/ ....for me this whole kit looks perfect. I'm even thinking this front end with Nismo skirts and CS rear end. Boom Anyone know how to knock up an 3d model with this configuation? My other favourite right now is the TOURENN kit http://www.thezstore...ZS/CTGY/350z02b Anyone know if either of these kits can be sourced in the UK? Both very clean and mean.
  2. Cheers guys - anybody got some good tips on how best to apply Dynamat to get best results for the doors? plus and other sound deadening tips specifically for doors? I'm finding most of the muddyness is in the mid range, bass not that bad.
  3. Calling I.C.E. gurus, your wisdom is requested! I've recently upgraded to Focal 165KRs in the doors for my 2005 GT4 and Im very disappointed with the results. I had the install done by a car audio shop for a pretty penny and Im a bit gutted really. Here are the details: The Focal drivers are mounted in stock location with spacers (unknown type) Doors have been Dynamatted The Focal tweeters are mounted in the stock location behind the grill I'm running the Focals via an Alpine V12 MRP-F550 amp - 90WRMS per channel (1/2 channels) The stock rears are disconnected No Sub yet but planned for soon running from channels 3/4 bridged Headunit is Alpine INA-W910r. HPF set at 60hz currently for fronts. EQ levels set at default 0 for highs and lows. I havent had a chance yet to pull off the door cards and inspect the work. I've run Focal Access 6.5" component speakers off the same Alpine amp in a previous installation in a different car and was very happy with the results. I'm thinking that the performance issues are likely to be a result of the install, everything sounds harsh with muddy bass and midrange and screechy highs. Bearing in mind I haven't actually had the door card off and seen the install yet, can anyone offer some advice on where to focus my attention and best practice re sound deadening the doors? Im considering: removing tweeter grill from stock location relocating tweeters to A pillars Dremeling out driver speaker door panel and covering with speaker cloth foam ring sound deadening around and behind main drivers - see this http://www.soundconnectioninc.com/magento/index.php/home-page-items/5-f-a-s-t-ring-kit.html A load more Dynamat on the doors Obviously checking the crossovers on amp, HU and the Focal units themselves for any mismatches - will probably set Amp Xovers for full pass if not already. Thanks in advance for any guidance offered.
  4. Dibs on Headlights please! Do you know if they are a simple replacement on a 2005 GT4? All this HID and Xenon talk is confusing!
  5. Thanks Martinjj. Was hoping to find a UK seller to avoid all the extra shipping/export costs and hassle. I'll see how it goes! All: In your opinion guys, which UK available system most closely matches the sound/characteristics of the nismo exhaust?
  6. Hi fellow Z heads! I'm after a Nismo cat-back exhaust for my 2005 GT4. New or 2nd hand I don't mind as long as it's in good condition. Willing to pay good money or part ex with my existing standard exhaust (low mileage). PM me if you can help me out Cheers, Smitherb
