Dave-350

1 x Orange 350z parked up in Sainsburys, Fareham (Only noticed it as I was leaving)

1 x Silver 350Z that I kindly let pull in to Daedelus, Fleetlands today around 6pm

Bonjour. Je ne parle pas français mais bienvenue. Puis-je voir des photos de votre voiture?

Hey Colin! Welcome to the forum. Im in Portsmouth so not far from you if you're ever down this way!

 

Hello and Welcome and theres us saying we aint seen many then they all pop up

I still don't see them on the streets though! Apart from this Orange one at the end of my road, and that thing never moves either

I think Ebized was asking if it was possible to actually make a wrap out of the pic with the bonnet open and put it onto the car so it would look like the car was driving around with no bonnet.

 

I've seen perspex bonnets but not seen a wrap done yet

 

Spot on Chris

I see! I beg your pardon Chris!

I think that would look pretty tacky! But someone might be able to pull it off! A polycarobante or acrylic bonnet would work too

Seeing that pic Chris of your car - to those in the know out there, would I be right in thinking that if you photographed the engine bay that could be transferred to a wrap that, suitably enlarged, could then be added onto the bonnet?

Are you serious? Lol.

Its really simple.

You get a camera on a tripod and take a snap of the car with the bonnet open and with the bonnet closed.

You then take them images in to photoshop and create 2 layers with both images, putting the open engine bay pic on the bottom layer.

You then create an area on the top layer bonnet, probably feathering the selected area and deleting it, exposing the lower image, IE the engine bay.

**** easy, Ive done things like this back in the day when Photoshop V1 was out lol

To give you an idea, look at my example attached.

Hey Colin! Welcome to the forum. Im in Portsmouth so not far from you if you're ever down this way!

 

I have 20mm spacers all round but at a offset of +15 so the wheels are in line with the arch.

 

I went for the longer studs method as it is cheaper to be honest, and then 4 hubcentric spacers. Changing the studs over took some time but got there in the end, and it was well worth it.

 

Also steering does become a bit more sharp I think, and the wheels can wander when turning, but I think this is more due to having wide tyres on them (265 front and 285 rear)

 

What are those rims? They are stunning. I can't really find any deep dish for the 350

Then you're not looking hard enough. Hundreds of dishy wheels out there!!

Well I have bit the bullet and next week going to 19s from 18's as im definatley not going for the go but going for the show!

 

What you getting?

 

Well im trying to be all ninja about it Though had to tell a couple of people I.e Bob for his top notch expertise They will be arriving later part of next week and all I can say is they are super sexy

 

Looking forward to the pics then Steve

Well? We are waiting...

Your gas struts are probably fine, it seems to be a very common problem that the boot doesn't stay up lol

Too late to get one?

Welcome!!Good luck with your search.You wont regret buying a zed

What he said!

Welcome!

Haha no idea wtf this is in aid of, but found it funny anyway

Why do Russians always have cameras in their cars?

Who's up for a cruise today? looks amazing Greg!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

I'm looking for a 350, my budgets around £7000, not too sure about the colour, I'm leaning towards black but I know how difficult they are to keep looking clean! Lol and I'd like a fairly unmolested car, although I don't mind having to do some bits and pieces to it. The plan is to keep it fairly clean and standard, I'm not sure how long that will last though....

Keeping it standard wont last 5 minutes! Black is a good choice as they aren't all that common in black!

Welcome and good luck!

Guys i live in Priddy's Hard so just over the bridge! My car is rarely out of the garage these days.

 

There is also a silver and blue 350z within 500m of my house, so Gosport is on the up....

 

Where's the blue one parked? My neighbour has just moved up to Scotland and he had a blue 350z!

 

I've only seen 1 or 2 in gosport! It's good to know there are more!

 

I have quite a few mates in priddys but none with Zeds! The usual s13s etc

 

I have seen the blue one on Grove road on many occasions, dont see many s13's driving about

My mates only just got his s13, he's off heritage way.

Anyone know if there's any meets coming up?

You got a build thread Greg?

pop charger or k and n all make nominal difference to performance. sbout thr same as going for a poo before going for a driver.

Finally, someone who tells it how it is.

Even if the Popcharger gave a true 10BHP difference, you wouldn't even notice it!!!

Second one is in knowle village in Wickham.

Black, with V6 Reg. Very nice!

Anyone else spotted these?

Haha, made me laugh!

Haha, I remember seeing videos on the net of trick or treaters being scared by people, and the end result was a KO.

LOL, its just a natural reaction for some people like your sister I guess...
