  1. Excellent mate! I'm excited for you!! Really good power figure too man!!
  2. Cheers mate, and yes as above same as oem Cheers Adrian, got to have a good few hour journey in it each way this weekend and loved it!
  3. Cheers, and yeah I was wanting to spray the 350 into a pearl white anyway so this has worked out very well I wasn't sure about the colour coded handles at first either, went with it anyway and pleased I did! The usual option, which I was initially going to do of painting them black, I think just makes them stick out too much And that means I must have your Nismo seats from your very car Thanks man! Keep an eye out I do have lots planned, just need to replenish my poor wallet a bit first though haha
  4. Thanks man! 100% we will! Cant wait to see yours!
  5. Thanks mate, it really was! It wasn't just the wait, it was the completion date kept getting moved back, so every week I'm saying yeah one more week and ill have it, and then another and then another, but so happy to have it now and RT did a great job! And i've never used spacers myself but a lot seem to vouch for there performance so im going to give it a go cheers mate, yes it is
  6. So old news to some now but unfortunately the 350 has gone! Still on the forum and sold to my good friend so I still get to see it at least! (though I do miss it when I see it, which is pretty much every weekend) Also had a nice little surprise within a week of selling.. my copy of Banzai magazine came through with a little feature in the readers ride section, I had sent the photos in while before and never heard anything back so was a nice surprise to see as I was flicking through Anyway new thread can be found here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104265-scotts-project-370z/
  7. The following weekend the rain held out so took the opportunity to get my Rotas on. Bought myself some Muteki SR48 nuts for the occasion. New nuts and caliper decals Everything in its place And a complete fitted picture to finish off for now Very happy with the fitment on the front, though I think the rears could really benefit from some spacers. Just quickly using the eye ruler I'm thinking 20mm but ill get out there soon with a proper ruler and go from there Thanks for looking
  8. And finally collection day arrived! December the 5th Jak and I hopped onto the train aiming to get to RT for 5pm. There are a few bits that still needed sorting still such as the flashing airbag light, find the rear fog and windscreen washer cap. And also the engine bay and interior need a good clean. But I had waited so long and I had it in my head I was getting it that day so I thought ill take it and clean it myself and they can just send me the parts when eventually found. Was so happy to finally see the car in person and man do I love the paint. I expected to really like it, but I love it. Exactly what I wanted out of the colour. Was at RT a few hours chatting with Adrian (good finally meeting you mate) and going through everything with the Z. We was also introduced to the GTR.... my god it was something else! That thing is unreal! Fuel ready for the journey home!
  9. Vents cut Nearly there! Coilovers on And back together :D
  10. Thankfully I got some progress pictures from RT to keep me going: In Primer
  11. So about time I got a build thread up for this I think. As some of you are probably aware by now, the 350z has gone, I sold it to Steve a few weeks back so at least it's not gone far Last decent pics I got of it before it went: Sad to let it go, so then promptly bought it's replacement from Adrian back at the end of august. It's a 2009 370Z GT Ultimate Edition with the 7AT gearbox. Paddle Shift was defiantly part of my criteria when it came to getting a 370 for me so I am happy to tick that off the list It's a low mileage CAT D with just over 24K on the clock. Originally taken in by RT-performance after the incident a few years ago. A full write up can be found on their website of the damage, and repair work carried out on it. # It comes with a few nice mods already in place, such as the retrimmed steering wheel, R35 GTR gear knob and braided lines with DS200 pads. Thankfully a perk of the purchase meant I was able to start my ownership with a full respray. Its going 'Visual Pearl'. A nissan peal white, which is a bit whiter than normal 370z's. How it looked when I made the purchase Being as it was in the bodyshop I took advantage of this and made my first purchase. An amuse style bodykit from RT. Haven't got any out of the box pictures but consists of -Front bumper -Rear bumper -Side skirts Thankfully it's already dewipered, but I requested for the roof and wing mirrors to be painted gloss black and that we keep it debadged. The wing unfortunately requires a little more work when it comes to sourcing it, with it having to come from either Japan of America. Though I finally have it sorted, they just need to make it so a few months yet Threw into the deal at the time of purchase was a set of new TORQEN S coilovers. So to help keep the car in alignment after I bought some Eibach rear camber arms. The car was in the bodyshop for just over 3 months, so getting impatient I started loading up the house with some parts Firstly I got my headlight internals painted black, with white bezals. Had to get a picture with them next to my facelift 350Z lights I never got round to fitting.. Also bought some Recaro Cross Sporster CS seats. Leather with suede centres So I sent off my headlights back off to RT along with some jap sized plates I had made up ready for the new bumpers. Next up was the exhaust. Plan was always to take the GTR systemt that I had on the 350 and get it on the 370. But Steve really wanted it and somehow convinced me it would be better for him to buy me a new one. So we left it on the 350 and he drove me up to Peterborough to pick up the replacement. Once we got it back I set about making a start in preparation for taking it up to Grant @ GCF. In all its glory with just the midpipe cut and tips removed (getting quite a collection now!) progress It was filthy looking better And even had a little go with taking some flames to it to play around with the burnt look. Iv since cleaned it up and I was to clean it up more, but will defiantly be doing this again at the end Bodyshop pics to follow!
