  5. Hello all, Short independent review coming up, bought a set of the HR polished intakes from Tarmac about a month or two back after I read some reviews of these on the US forums and was very intrigued by them. They are well packaged from factory and when you open the box you can see that the build quality is top notch, came with everything needed for fitting and nearly 40 steps of instructions (mostly self explanatory but it helps). Installation was relatively easy although took a while to do as some parts are really snug fit almost to the point where I was worried it might not all fit in but low and behold it all does and has been obviously manufactured to really tight tolerances, I like this though as it doesn't feel like universal crap but something that was crafted for the car. One tip would be to take off your strut bar even though it doesn't call for it in the instructions, hindsight it would've made everything a lot easier and would've saved me from scratching one of the intake pipes on the strut bar tightening nut The design of the heat shields it comes with I think is quite a bit better than the JWT ones (friend has DE with JWT we installed weekend before) and we we're discussing the heat shields and the Takeda ones seem more efficient as they enclose the filter more. Also as a plus the Takeda kit comes with everything up to the throttle body where as the JWT attaches to existing intake pipe and hence many people opt for a polished intake pipe as an extra to go with their kits. The kit looks excellent installed with its shiny pipes and the black powder coated heat shields. Haven't been to dyno so hard to say what kind of power difference they've made, the car does feel a bit more responsive over 5k revs but that could just be due to the lovely noise it makes that makes you think that, they are pleasantly quiet in normal driving but when you put your foot down you get lovely noise which is very similar to JWT noise i've heard, they really do make you want to plant your foot at every opportunity so you can listen to them, really makes the HR sound happier. I've recently got Invidia Gemini True Dual system to go with the intakes and like mentioned by someone at US forums when you combine the Takeda intakes with true dual exhaust you'll think you're driving a V8 and don't think that's too far off truth. tl;dr: Excellent quality, good sound and very pleased with purchase and at this price not sure why you'd go JWT instead. Hope that helps, if you have any questions let me know Thanks .FxN
  6. No it's different but thought I'd check just in case they were for HR as it's good price. glws .FxN
  7. Looks it but need to check, for DE instead of HR? .FxN
  8. Hmm I wonder how much hurt it would be to fit this onto a HR 350z
  9. Ha I love it when a plan comes together, now come on people this is awesomesauce! .FxN
  10. Hey Tarmac was waiting for you to join the conversation Good to know about the Gracer not fitting, quite like the Vertex actually but depends how dear they are.
  11. Ooh, got pics of them and prices? Looked some on Google Image search but not sure of what the exact ones are.
  12. Hey all, Had someone bump into my car today and scuffed my front bumper so need to get it resprayed and thought I would get one of those fancy replica Nismo front lips added to the bumper at the same time as it's getting a spray anyway so why not. Where can I find a good quality lipt that fits facelift? Checked tarmac's site and he only appears to have a pre-facelift ones. Thanks .FxN
  13. Tried PMing but not going through, also very interested in hearing about the spacers you're running as the stance is excellent, also would you post if I arranged a courier? Thanks .FxN
  14. Thanks Tarmac, I visit your site at least once a day to have a look at bits and bobs and get idea on pricing for things I'll prob drop you a pm either over weekend or next week regarding Takeda intakes. Steve & Tarmac yeah if either of you could find me info on Bassani exhausts (mainly pricing) that'd be fantastic! Quite tempted by it as it seems to be a bit more of a unknown in the UK so something a bit different, having said that the Invidia Gemini titanium tips are soo tempting, like poor mans Amuse .FxN
  15. Steve yup I'm in Camberley, came to pick up the gear knob from you and met Will370z and Wasso at the same time briefly at yours, yeah was hoping to listen to some of the exhausts before making a decision, heard somewhere that the Bassani ones sound quite "exotic" now that sounds exciting, no idea what it means though Steve can you find out for me if you can get hold of Bassani's? .FxN
  16. Anyone got experience with Bassani exhausts? All the US forums seems to be mad about them and Borla...too many choices!! .FxN
  17. Thanks for the answers, Steve does he have HFCs as well or is it just the invidia system? I've been tempted by Invidia and might well give you a message about it or I'll just forget about the dual and go for Nismo instead, have you got HFCs on your Nismo setup Steve? .FxN
  18. Hello all, So been thinking of exhausty things and was wondering if anyone would be able to help out with couple of simple questions: 1. I saw a thread about CEL light coming on after fitting Berks HFCs, does this happen on the HR or is this just a DE issue and if it is problem for HRs as well where would I be able to get spacers to prevent this from happening? 2. Dual or not dual, I like the idea of a dual and according to youtube/350z-tech comments they sound awesome but worried if they get droney on motorway? Also finding it quite difficult to find what Dual exhausts are available for the HR as quite a few places don't seem to specify listing, I was under the impression the HR and DE exhausts were different though and I know companies like Invidia do separate one for HR to DE. My budget for the exhaust can be anything really up to £1500 or so excluding the HFCs so quite few of them should be within budget except for Amuse and ARC...grrr. 3. Do 370z exhausts fit on HR 350z's? tl;dr: list of HR exhausts and comments regarding noise levels? Thanks .FxN
  19. Hello all, Looking for the little tow hook blanking plate for the centre of the rear bumper preferably in black without a hole as my current one has hole for reverse camera and I'd like to get rid of it. Bit of a long shot I know Thanks .FxN
  20. Heard that Lovely thread, I do like an azure but it's never going to be as clean as a clean black one .FxN
  21. Looks pretty decent in day light actually, was a bit worried about it after intensely staring at it under the bright lights at home
  22. See you were busy whilst I was on holiday, so glad I managed to infect you as well, it's rubbish having zeditis by yourself
  23. Okay no worries thanks for letting me know mate =o) .FxN
