Love the F1 style modification to Suzi. That's proper.

Did you go full kit all over? Did you change them becuase the others were worn, or just because you hoped they'd feel better? Nice vid Robboí ½í±. @ Stu; the front bushes are the ones that commonly fail but all OEM rubber bushes fail to various degrees over time. Shrinking, perishing/cracking, tearing and full blown separation are all degrees of bushing failure. Therefore depending on the degree of failure you may get minimal symptoms or knocking to outright diabolical handling! If you consider that most zeds are over 10yrs old there are a lot out there that would benefit with bushing changes. There is nothing wrong with the OEM bushes except they are to soft and allow excessive mov't which dulls handing and eventually they will fail again bring made of rubber. Secondly the compression arm design was poor which leads to premature compresion bush failure. This issues was addressed by Nissan on the HR and 370z I think. Urethane is better but as the vid shows you need to get well designed ones. I have used Superpro, whiteline and energy suspension. Superpro are up there, whiteline a close second and energy suspension third because some of their bushes are poorly designed. However if you swap those bushes for superpro or whiteline equivalent as I have done for the 2 chaps here you end up with a competent package and some significant savings. Monoball/spherical/rose jointed bushes are the ultimate because there is no bind or stiction and there supension geometry is always maintained optimally as there is no unwanted mov't. However they don't last forever as they are prone to salt corrosion and they are impractical for daily driving. I have been lucky to have been able to swap to full urethane bushes in the past and again to solid monoball bushes which are currently on the car. I have also done the full urethane swap for 2 members here. So I can attest to the fact that every single bush showed significant wear. One thing is for certain the handling is night and day and if you have other suspension mods like ARB, coilovers and adjustable arms it further enhances them. I will be offering a drive in bushing replacement and general suspension service soon and there will be various packages to suit all budgets and usage but in anycase priced very competitively. Sounds promising, no doubt you'll be miles away

It's great for the exhaust once it's polished up and it's good on paintwork too if you like the "sealant look". The size of the tin, it can even be handy around the house too. Even my jack, axle stands and tool box have a coat of FK on. And it's got a shark on the tin. A shark.

By the power of greyskull. I never saw the attraction of buying new on finance. Until now.

I used to use RimWax until ilogikal1 bullied me into switching to FK This stuff is good and you get enough to last you your whole life. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/sealants/finishkare-1000p-hi-temp-sealant/prod_589.html

Drive it. If it's all good then you have a decision to make, but I'd be pouring over every MOT and Service reciept in there and contacting the garages that did the work and confirming details, as a minimum. You could always see if a local Honda type from a forum will go down and look it over with you.

along, good to see more North West. Check out the regional action here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/75-north-west/

The report I got from the AA on the Zed was helpful but is a big negative on the warranty. They take no responsiblity for teling you the car is safe to buy on the report.

Don't do it - midnight purple 3 is my Zed dream!!!!!!!!!!

Gas struts make no difference to pop - only to staying open when it's up. The angle is just far too severe for them to help with pop. Sticky pads for the bottom of the springs work, though getting them to bond long term to the rubber is a PITA

What about a V8?

DO IT or... That's neither big or gay enough DO IT or... That is friggin' awful! There is a little spoiler that fits the boot, though, it's quite nice and I think it's pre facelift too. Goddammit. Dan would've gone for that if you two hadn't alerted him to its rubbishness!!!!

DO IT or...

That's really special, you must be made up. Keep it as is

My mate picked one of these up last year and they're really nice pieces of kit, obviously V8 anything is awesome, though he professes to like the muted exhaust . Just needs a subtle boot spoiler to eliminate that "interesting" flat boot. Great choice, enjoy. PS - good to see proper mod being done first

This is brilliant, can't wait to see more!

She's a beaut. GLWTS.

That backend should be illegal it's so sexy

If you've seen 'Cable Guy' and enjoyed it, you should go to Medieval Times one night. It's pure cheese, the secret is to really get into it and find mega discount tickets online or in stores. Don't forget to tip thine busty serving wench my Lord and doth stump up a few extra sovereigns for a front row view of the feasting and sport and try doing medieval speak but without drifting into pirate. It's not easy!

there a little thing called a timer (or even a remote) ... doh Maybe so but do you really want my ugly mug there. ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No mate, your doing just fine so far

Everything new coming out is super agressive, it'd be nice if something with some curves and grace came along. I thikning of you Jaguar E-type. I'd have one if they're handing them out though

Looks like a nice piece of kit

No spacers I get, but OEM aerial!!! If I buy you one, will you swap it?

They look like all kinds of hand holding fun
