  1. Well I work on Woking during the week so that's a bit closer to you. I finish at 4:30 If that helps. Otherwise Sundays are good.
  2. Thankyou. Yeah if I have say a weeks notice it should be fine to go fairly quickly. Will consider a part ex, probably something diesel and german.
  3. NISSAN 350z V6 2003 (£5000): (UK Gunmetal manual with Bose) Unfortunately the time has come to sell. I have not got the room for another car so this has to go. This is such a pleasure to drive, turns heads everywhere and gets great comments from everyone who see's it. One of the best colours available, makes an amazing noise and the torque feels brilliant. Perfectly usable power, the suspension is firm but comfortable and the brakes pull up nicely. The car has covered 120,000 (will increase with use) and feels as tight and responsive as ever. MOT until January 30th 2014 (no advisories), Tax till the end of November. Worthy of note is the reduced road tax compared to newer models. (nearly half the cost) Last service done by myself not to long ago. All bought from Zmanalex on the Z forum. Major service done by previous owner. All tyres are all Federal 595SS's in very good condition (rears practically brand new) The car has also had some subtle modifications, which are listed below; Custom fully smoothed genuine Nismo front bumper Custom front arches with 370z side repeater/badges Rear Ariel removed and smoothed out Rear wiper removed and smoothed out along with rear spoiler and badges. Black roof Scorpion rear exhaust section. Very subtle look to it, slight increase in noise from idle but lovely growl when opened up. Eibach 30mm lowering springs Drilled disks with yellow stuff pads Black interior roof lining and plastics to match. Black wing mirrors. Black Ray alloy wheels. The car is of genuine UK production, not an import. As a GT model, it has full leather interior, 18'' Rays forged alloys, upgraded all round Brembo disc brakes, xenon headlights, electric heated seats and Bose stereo system. Bad Points. Few small points to mention. The roof has a couple of small dents in from a hail storm. Barely noticeable unless you really look for it. I bought the car like this and did not put me off it at all. The front end has the unavoidable stone chips. Very normal for 350's Front bumper is a little worn, no big dents or cracks but a few little marks here and there. Key points: Nissan 350Z GT Gun Metal Grey Manual 6 speed Equipment: Leather interior Heated seats with electric adjustment Xeonon Head lamps Cruise control 18" forged alloys Brembo brakes ABS Air conditioning Power Steering Central Locking Power folding mirrors 350z floor mats Electric alarm 120,000 miles 4 months MOT remaining Last service : 114,000 Miles Performance: 3500cc V6 0-62mph: 5.9 sec Top speed: limited at 155mph 6 Speed manual Car is located in Hampshire.
  4. Well it does look like they got very hot. Alignment out not helping the spirited driving? or is this a sign of wayyy to much understeer?

    Wheel Nuts

    I'd avoid Ally nuts if your thinking of it. They dont tend to last very long.
  6. Nicely done. Looks like those discs needed it. Very good looking jack too, Cant imagine getting it that high any other way.
  7. Underseal would never go a miss. Get it done if you can.
  8. Your right. I was trying to imagine it but the photoshop done it for me
  9. I actually think thats quite a novel idea.
  10. Becoming very popular these BMW wheels. They do look the nuts. Are they with 20mm conversion spacers? If so they seem to make the fitment spot on.
  11. Ahh ok thanks, but surely pipework is cheap and can be fabricated easily to suit? Or is the cost difference between a RHD and LHD setup the same? Just heard that RHD are hard to get a hold of because mostly US based kits.. Pipework really isnt that cheap. Especially if your buying lots of aluminum bends etc, Then theres lots of labour welding them. Definately not for a person not familar with mechanics. Also I would never tap a return into the block like the video shows without cleaning out properly.
  12. Exactly Ekona. Usually min-max is 1 litre. So 10mm or so of that is at least half a litre. Definately dont drive it hard.
  13. Very nice. Gorgeous front end. The exhaust looks superb. Any more plans for the rear of the car?
  14. I quite like it. Almost looks like its floating
  15. Yeah just drain it via the sump plug. How much did you put in??
  16. HmmBen

    Awesome

    Ah must not look at sites like this. Jap Performance is bad enough for their range of mental wheels.
  17. Any colour fade on yours Keyser?
  18. I like. At least you wont have to spend your whole time in your car with it glaring at you if it was all orange
  19. They just might look a bit silly with such an arch gap. and quite possibly raise the car aswell. So lowering springs or coilovers should pull it off well
  20. Engine bay looks great, but regards to the dash... How about carbon surround and the centre ring orange?
  21. Looks like a good combination. Would like to see the finished product
  22. Pretty sure theres only one way to find out, and thats to fit them and see. Depends if your car is lowered but I'd say try them as it is. The offsets sound alright but it does all depend.
  23. Good effort! I had to take the spare wheel and carpet out just to fit 2 tyres in the boot. lol
  24. As above really. You didnt run anything over and it could be stuck to your propshaft/driveshafts. Small bit of rope or similar?
