  1. I bought them from a member on here actually. They are 'Autobahn'.
  2. Sorry I removed that Pic when I updated the original post! Here you go: Todays update: Spacers and exhaust are fitted! The spacers have made a real difference, and the exhaust sounds amazing. Very very pleased! Springs should be fitted by the end of the week, so really looking forward to that. regarding the wheels, I prefer the look of the standard wheels and i've decided that I'm going to get them refurbished and powder coated gun metal grey.
  3. Just a quick message to say thanks for the spacers I purchased off you. Quick delivery, tracking number provided and a decent price. Top man!

  4. I use a wired fm modulator with my standard stereo which I'm really pleased with. I did a fitting guide too, see here : http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/65697-wired-fm-modulator-fitting-mini-guide/

    Just looking through this old thread, spotted a few pics of my nitrous S2000!
  6. Is what you use? Looks amazing! Glad you all like the magnet! I spotted it a few weeks ago, and then saw this thread which reminded me it's still in my ebay watched list!

  8. The 200SX is sadly not mine! It's my friend's track toy.
  9. Yep the S2000 isn't designed for very tall people. But it was a smashing car!
  10. I used to have a DC2 - It was fantastic. I ended up fitting a 75bhp shot of nitrous to it! and it was awesome, ran like a dream, especially on NOS and surprised a lot of other cars. I loved it, In the end i sold it and got a Honda S2000 which was also a fantastic car...
  11. The led reverse light is 'whiter' but probably not brighter if that makes sense! The rear plate was just stuck on yes. I really can't decided on the rays or not, I love the style of the current wheels. Don't need to decide yet anyway as they are last on the list! As for the plasti-dip, it's holding up really well. I'd advise it for anyone wanting to spray the splitter. Literally takes 10 mins to do.
  12. Yeah good spot, the last pic is before I did the front indicator bulbs. The led reverse light was from eBay. I got 2, one replaced the reverse light and the other side is the fog light I think.
  13. I would advise you to do some research on KTC before you even bother going to look at it. It's only 10 mins away from me, and the garage has a very very bad reputation. Some of my friends have unfortunately experienced this. I saw that car a few weeks ago (I sometimes go look around as they have ferraris and lambos etc!), and i would strongly advise you to look elsewhere. If you google the garage you will uncover a lot of horror stories.

    'Dancing on Ice'

    Pic I took of my 350z in the pitch black this morning. Looked really good as the garage lights flickered and came on...
  16. Thanks for all the replies guys! Some really useful info here
  17. Hi, I would like one of these please :-) Can you add me to the list and PM me with the details. When will the kits be sent out to us? Thanks
  18. Nice car mate, I like the subtle approach you have taken, I am going down a similar route :-)
  19. 1 of the LEDs are broken, of your willing to solder a new one in your more than welcome to them for free. Just postage, however it will be next month Thanks mate, that's very kind of you :-). I've sent you a PM Cheers!
  20. I actually quite like the Citroen C1 style running lights? Fancy selling them to me?!
  21. Hi Guys, Thought I would start a build thread, just as a record of what I do to the car really, it's always nice to see how things progress... So, in June 2012 I found this one. Completely standard with full service history, 43K, great condition throughout, and I fell in love and bought it! The first mod I made was to remove the front number plate surround, and fit my private number plate. I also sprayed the front splitter black using 'Plastdip'. This means it can be removed in a matter of minutes if needed. I then decided to spray the front and rear badges black (with plastidip) to match the front splitter I wanted an 'aux in' cable for the stereo so I could connect my iPhone, So I purchased a wired fm modulator. The sound quality is much better than a wireless one and there is no interference as the modulator disconnects the standard radio when it detects music from the phone. Really impressed. I ran the aux wire into the ashtray cubby so it's neat and tidy when not in use I did a small install guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ing-mini-guide/ Next I upgraded some of the bulbs to LED's. I changed the front sidelights to LEDs and also the rear numberplate bulbs and an LED reverse light bulb. I also installed some silver indicator bulbs to the front to remove the 'fried egg look'! I got the car serviced in November 2012, and had noticed some slight squeaking from the suspension as well a noisy wheel bearing so decided to get everything replaced. Many thanks to ZmanAlex for supplying some of the bits i needed. So, the car was treated to: 1 x set front genuine Nissan upgraded drop links The special drop link nuts 2 x compression rod bushes 2 x compression rod ball joint cones 2 x compression rod ball joint nuts as well as a new wheel bearing, new Brembo pads all round and a major service! So here is how she currently stands: UPDATED -04/02/13 Ordered are a few new bits throughout January which are starting to arrive... First up, my new exhaust system arrived yesterday - Decided on the Japspeed K1 as I like the aggressive look of the rear back boxes I'm expecting it to be loud.. can't wait to get it fitted! 20mm Spacers have now arrived: UPDATED - 10th Feb 2013 Car has been in the garage getting all the bits fitted this week! Exhaust sounds amazing, i'm really pleased with it for the price. The spacers have made a real difference too, especially with the lowering springs. I got some Apex springs from Tarmac Sportz on here (thanks Chris!) which have been fitted too, I am really pleased with them. They have lowered the car nicely and the ride is great too, anyway some pics: UPDATE 16TH FEB: Today I installed the auto-fold mirror module from Flyboy (this auto folds the mirrors in when the car is locked, and then auto folds them back out when the ignition is turned on. Fantastic little mod! Video of it in action here: I also put the bungs back into my japspeed exhaust, but i sprayed the bungs black which i think looks a lot better. BEFORE: AFTER: Updated 25th Feb: Got myself a flip key, had the key cut with no issues and got some little nissan badges from ebay too. Really happy with the result, I used the standard buttons in the flip key, they fit perfectly. Really happy with the result Update 15th March: Just a small update, I've just put some new tyres on the rears, after reading quite a lot of reviews I decided to go for Avon ZZ5's. I'm really pleased with them, a noticeable improvement. I've also had a full geo setup (4 wheel laser alignment), the car handles so much better! Monday 6th May: I bought another set of wheels from a fellow member and had them refurbished and powder coated in 'Candy Apple red'. I'm really pleased with them, i love the look on the car! (i know this may not be to everyones taste) [ [ I also de-badged the rear and removed the black plasti-dip on the front and rear nissan badges as it had started to look a bit tatty. Next on the list: - A couple of other red touches including Black and red nissan front and rear badges, red nissan side badges and a few other small bits. - Black roof - Tints
  22. Hi guys, I am looking for some Eibach 30mm springs or maybe some coilovers. Also, some wheel spacers. Let me know if you have anything, thought it might be worth asking here before i buy new. thanks
