Nice work on your Zed, the lip and bumper are very nice indeed.

Pulleys provisionally sold. UNSOLD and now available.

I got some of these. Seem fine. Currently respraying them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131031560200

Zmanalex recommended this to me when I replaced the same part. http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/310419032723?_lwgsi=y&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=64

Near the Y pipe;)

If it's the W brace (you'll know it when you see it) it's got other mounting bits hidden by plastic at each end which may have corroded too. Worth checking before you order anything, mine were shot but I just admit I gave one idea what it brings to the Zed party.

At the risk of getting flamed, I found the h-dev grounding kit helped with smooth running, especially coming off the gas. Also mine was feeling a bit rougher than usual (not bad, just not super smooth) turned out the earth on my scorpion had worked loose. Reconnected today, smoothness back at super on the drive home.

Mounts provisionally sold.

18 in town, 28 motorway, 43 for a mile or two in average camera 40 zone on M6.

The uprev was done before I bought it, no idea what the gains were, sorry mate - but plenty threads here will tell you typical gains if you do your breather mods first. The numbers are one thing, but it believe quite a few get more reward from the improved driveability than the numbers. I should really get down to TDI for a dyno one day.

That's good to know. I'm hoping to get Berk HFC's at some point for my 350 & would hate for it to cause problems come MOT time. It was the same with a JDM WRX that I used to own which had a high flow sports Cat ~ always sailed through emissions when warmed up properly. My Berks/Scorpion posed no problem today, just drove over, no kore spiritedly than usual. Sailed through

Some goodies from the shed for sale. Got a new idea for a special mod and trying to raise some funds... Pulleys now sold again OEM pipes from when my SAMCOs went in - £10 OEM intake pipe from when my SAMCO went in - £10 Everything is priced pre-postage costs, happy for collection (Blackpool) or shipping of your choice (at your cost). Feel free to ask anything you need to, or if you want more photos of something.

It's the speed between lightspeed and warpspeed

Sailed through MOT with no advisories, woooohoooo!!!!! Also had Ferodo DS2500s all round courtesy of ClarkZmanMotorAlexSport (a fine recommendation - thanks), fitted by the top techs at Grinspeed. Whilst she was in they also cured the irritating exhaust rattle that had developed of late, she sounds even sweeter than usual now, especially on the long motorway runs which were driving me nuts. As usual top service to be had a Grinspeed for sensible money, and got to see a vintage Integra Type R, which was a treat. Only complaint is my eyeballs nearly popped out during the pad bedding in procedure I just hope there's a few mm left on the MPSSs Bumped into another Zed too, in the second fastest colour.

SSD for the win. Even if it's only a small boot one and you put a cheap 7200rpm in for bulk storage.

+1 of cam if you have a headunit to watch it through, cost me about £30 all in and an hour or two (I'm not spanner gifted). Works a treat though and MOT friendly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Rear-View-Reverse-Camera-for-Nissan-350Z-Fairlady-/260792854518?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160

Nice one, I'm in tomorrow, fingers crossed she's all good.

Rabbit!? You haven't missed this one yet! It's not till next month. Rabbit! Why are we all saying rabbit?

+1 on the Z speed from Tarmac, fine bit of kit.

Congrats buddy, enjoy the drive home. I think I was too scared on mine to relax safe trip.

Hell yeah. I'm a Government Compliance Auditor by profession, with a history of Health & Safety, so yeah, that would be BOSS. I'll go for dark green, either tweed or seude (I'm not fussy) with light brown leather patches. YES . Proper sick that bro

Mod it with some leather elbow patches

Not into this sort of thing, but that is cool as. Needs spacers

Interesting you should say that, I've been thinking about the suspension and wheels since I've taken care of most of the other stuff on my list, but I must admit I don't get the whole "stance" deal. I can see that flush wheels look much better but what else bothers you about the stock set up? When I look back at her in the car park as I walk away, my eye is drawn to the silhouette; the bonnet, roof, tail and I always think to myself how great the Zed looks and that I'd never thought I'd have a car like it. Maybe I'm just not seeing it? Is it arch gap, tyre profile, something else? I'm not having a go (if it comes across that way, which I hope it won't) I'm curious as to what others see that is escaping me. Its all personal preference my friend but I just believe the Z's wheels are very set back into the arch when compared against other standard cars. It makes the car look a lot narrower than it is and a bit 'weedy'. Obviously there are two different spectrum's to this and I think the new phase of cool crazy camber is silly but there is some middle ground. If you like it then good on you....saves you some money I hear you on the spacers, been mulling it over myself for a while, I think I may well just look out for some aftermarket wheels that'll take care of flush finish and put the cash saved from spacers towards them. I won't be venturing into "cool camber" territory, I'm too old for that s***
