Looks great, I like that look a lot

 

Thanks =]

 

Should be more to come after xmas

What size tyres do you have on the 370 Rays? OEM 370 size?

 

Im assuming they are standard as they are Bridgestone Potenza's

 

Front: 255 / 40 / 19

Rear: 275 / 35 / 19

 

Again thanks for the advice on spacers, they sit perfectly with 20mm on the front

Pm'd

Pictures on page 1 don't work mate

 

Cheers, I'll sort it tomorrow. Probably because I moved my photos around on photobucket lol.

Them wheels look alot better then I expected. Awesome choice! Lightweight too.

 

Thanks,

 

There is so much i want to do but so hard sticking to a budget

Few more snaps, Cars dirty and its raining but im very please with the look and the direction the car is going in

 

 

 

 

 

Bad photo's i know but im no photographer

Fair point, forgot the black edition came with red brembos. I was thinking with the red lights and against gunmetal, red calipers would look good

 

What else you got planned then

 

Iv thought about calliper colours and the only 2 i think i would go for would be yellow or red and im too lazy to keep cleaning yellow so eventually i will spray them red It's my daily driver though so cant have it off the road while i send them away etc

 

Other stuff will just be the usual, Plenum spacer,Exhaust, Remap etc. Think i may go for HSD DT Coilovers when i get the money though. Was going to go for springs but the adjustment advantages of coilovers are starting to sway me. Always wanted Bride seats aswell so may splash out on them in the future too when funds allow it

 

 

They look great

 

Green is always a good colour goes with black as well - not that I have thing for green - well maybe a little

Cheers, I do have a can of Lime green E-tech heat proof paint laying around somewhere from on of my old builds. I'll try and find you a pick as you love greeh so much

 

Nice mate they suit it well

 

Red calipers could really set them off

Red would look good but I Dont want to straight up copy the Black Edition, kinda want to go in my own direction I think.

 

 

 

 

Will get some more photos on when I'm on my laptop, still using phone.

 

Thanks for all the comments =]

Pretty busy atm and photos on iPhone, will get better ones on later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope they work =]

Wow that's one serious motor you've got there Keyser!

 

@LRF4N - I think a few people have, not seen many photos though. If iv got the spacing right and once its lowered im hoping it will look spot on.

 

Couldn't wait till Wednesday to get her on the ramps so im going in Saturday when the garage is closed to get some work done I seriously need to get a house with a drive/garage...

JT350GT4 has a second hand JWT Pop Charger going cheap. Drop him a Pm.

 

Jake

No pics with wheels on yet im affraid. Should be going on Wednesday next when iv got it on the ramps. Saves me rolling around on the floor in this weather

 

I'll get photo's up as soon as its done. Can't wait to see what it looks like

Jake, many thanks for your order, your brake pads will be leaving tomorrow...

 

Looking forward to seeing the build progress...

 

Thanks for the update, Iv bookmarked you site so may be back for some for stuff when money permits. Think it will be Springs, Exhaust or Engine dress next. Just cant decide :lol:

Good to see another build thread, progress is being made

 

 

Don't diss the brides they are awesome!

 

By that I'm assuming you have some, don't suppose you have a photo/link tho progress thread with a pic?

 

Iv always wanted buckets just never got round to fitting any

I'll start with an introduction. Im Jake, based in South East Kent, just turned 21 and this is my first Jap car

 

So, I picked up the Zed about a month ago. Took it straight to my local dealer for a service and health check, with the book all stamped up and the problems they found/imagined sorted by myself I'm ready to start modifying.

 

Progress isn't going to be too fast as missus is making me save for a deposit on a house...So depending on funds, living situation and how much overtime I can pick up all future mods should be completed.

 

The car is a standard 54 plate GT in black with 43k on the clock with what I think is a retrofitted SatNav and pretty poor attempt at fitting an aux lead.

 

First day:

 

 

 

 

As it stands: (28/09/13)

 

 

 

 

 

370z Black Edition Alloys:

 

 

 

 

Iv just ordered some Ebc yellow stuff brake pads and got some ramp time over my uncles garage next week, so the wheels and spacers will be going on the same time as I do the pads. I will also be doing the Altenator and A/C belts while im over there.

 

 

 

So Far:

Fit wheels and spacers - Done

Fit belts - Done

Weld up exhaust - Done

Fit Ebc pads - Done

Change spark plugs - Done

Change oil+filters - Done

Machine buff entire car

HSD DT Coilovers

Eibach camber arms

Cobra Non-Res exhasut

 

Future Mods:

 

Plenum spacer

HFC's/Decat

Remap

Coloured wheel nuts(Ordered)

 

Window tints

 

Touch screen double din

Bucket seats

 

If you have any comments or questions let me know as I'm new the the Jap scene and still finding me feet

 

Thanks

 

Jake

 

 

Edit: I'll get some more photos up as soon as iv fitted the alloys =]

If it's a roadster the price seems to go up drastically as well

 

Coupe is insurance group 37 & Roadster is insurance group 46.

 

I couldn't get insured on a roadster because Admiral only insure drivers under 21 upto insurance group 37 =]

Im getting a Road angel Gem off the other half next week, I'll let you know if its any good

'54' plate, 20yo, 3yrs NCB, 3 points - CU30 defective tyre £1100 with admiral. Girlfriend and dad as named drivers.

If nobody will swap 20mm for 25mm are you willing to sell your 20mm ones to me =]

 

If not no worries, i will just buy new

 

Thanks

 

Jake

"I'm in Deal"

 

Where I originally come from - whereabouts do you live there ?

 

Seriously?

 

I live Station road in Walmer, closer to the A258 (Dover road).

 

What about you? Im hoping to get out of here soon but keep spending all my deposit money on cars and motorbikes :lol:

Think your inbox is full

 

 

Im assuming the pop charger has gone but its worth a try anyway?? =D

 

Thanks

It is a Nissan made, but retro fitted sat-nav.(Usually fitted on PDI by the selling dealer). Welcome to the forum enjoy your new toy . (As you are in Kent you can pop down to my workshop for a free check on your clutch and a coffee, if you like )

 

I may take you up on that, I have a feeling my local dealer in Canterbury is trying to take me for every penny haha. Where are you based?

 

Thanks

Jake

Bet the bandit is loud nice zed.

Yes its ridiculously loud, didn't realise how loud till I let a mate have a go on it, sounds lime an aeroplane. No wonder my neighbors hate me :L

 

 

ashford
