  1. I havent looked at the specs but why would you want to keep the spacers when you have the choice of offsets? Loose the spacers if you can imho I would also wait until you need new tyres and get some 19's on there, look much better than 18's or at least some wider 18's
  2. Who is going to buy that dull looking monstrosity in hearing aid beige colour in the op's post though, at least the Gt86 looks reasonable to start with.
  3. I think i will believe what i saw with mine thanks and it was far from quality or a superb fit A bit of fettling or a fair bit of fettling are two different things though Original @ £305 is a steal: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charge-Speed-0260-Bumper-Nissan/dp/B00DOPIGBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432743214&sr=8-1&keywords=350z+chargespeed
  4. Interesting that today in another thread re chargespeed bumper, you wrote "its a needs a fair bit of fettling to fit" That doesnt sound like a superb fit to me if it needed said fair bit of fettling to make it that way. Not picking holes at you but the question the op asked was in relation to quality, if it needs a fair bit of fettling, i wouldnt say the quality is that good, would you?
  5. I would take mouthwash up on his offer before you decide, i dont even notice a rattle with a light fly.
  6. Stage 1 is fine, i have a freshly installed Exedy organic and feels no different to oem, just dont go for puck clutch.
  7. I dont think there is any need for a bbk on a 350z unless your fi'd, uprated discs and pads are more than capable. A clutch and light fly is a nice addition, but you dont need to drop the engine so no point doing the headers either imho, i would only do headers if i was going to put in some cams in too.
  8. Cant really argue, but everytime I look at it, I realise what its capable of and how I feel when I drive it shes beautiful in my eyes I agree, nothing wrong with it, looks mean and you know what its like underneath But the above just its more pleasing to the eye
  9. Have a great one buddy
  10. Very nice, much sharper the the 35, which lets be fair, itsnt really a looker, nothing wrong with it, just doesnt get the blood pumping in the looks department Shame they have gone up in price so much
  11. I would go for a lightweight one from the traders on here.
  12. Feed it, think it might need cpr or a defribrillator
  13. I paid under 6k for my jdm and the only time it let me down was a flat battery after not using it for while, bar normal costs (servicing). Low mileage, plenty of service stamps. I just changed out the clutch and flywheel as it was juddering but it wasnt a necessity, it drove great just annoyed me Above 5k should buy you a good one so long as your cautious and recognise any potential problems.
  14. Forgot that bit, Poole, Dorset.
  15. Like pulling teeth today, probably taken 5 minutes to load and post!!! Whats going on team?
  16. Sorry, didnt read it right Yes I also dont go for the argument of "build cost", the Mx5 was just over £14k 25 years ago, the new one £18500.
  17. Hoping he wasnt injured to bad but also hoping is very very expensive road bike was very very expensive to repair or replace Bound to have been the bus drivers fault though when he told his mates
  18. Thanks for the comments, but there always comes a time and it now seems it. Onwards and upwards or hold fire until i know my budget once my house is built. I do have my eye on a couple of cars having said that There will be no splits on anything until the car has sold if it all, i am in no rush
  19. So a little background, i bought this a little over 2 years ago and it hasnt let me down once, apart from a dead battery, i have enjoyed every minute of it, but i think the time has come to sell. I have done as much as i wanted to do with the car without throwing vast sums of money at engine performance, which i promised i would never do after my varying Rx7's. I am not using the car enough and with an imminent house build i just cant see much use over the summer either and would prefer to have the funds to put into the house or buy something else should a bargain come up. It is a Jdm with cloth seats, no cruise control, but does have Brembos. I have the original Sva prep showing the mileage at 14180 miles in January 06. Mileage now is a little over 55k (will check as kept in a friends garage). I had a problem with a speedo kmh to mph converter so swapped to Uk clocks last year, when i took the old cluster out there was a sticker showing the mileage had been converted from kmh to mph, so mileage is accurate, no mix of kmh & mph, i also had the new speedo converted to show correct mileage. There are also a few service records stamped in the book. P1 @ 14652 miles 16.03.06 P2 @ 25058 miles 19.03.07 P1 @ 32268 miles 24.03.08 P3 @ 40578 miles 14.05.09 A service was carried out the year i got it, oil&filter, gearbox and diff oil, plugs @ around 50k miles in 2013. The oil and filter have just been changed with Fuchs Pro Race oil. The same garage also fitted a new Exedy organic clutch, pressure plate and bearing, bought brand new from a member and a Driftworks lightweight flywheel that had done about 1000 miles, also from a member. Also fitted a new crank shaft position sensor at the same time, all done at the beginning of May 2015. Mot'd till October 2015. So essentials out the way and probably a good time to flick to the build thread here to see the enhancements i have made to include: http://www.350z-uk.c...of-both-worlds/ 19 Weds Kranze Borphes, 19 x 11 & 19 x 9.5, custom painted & new Nankangs Ns11's 25 mm front spacers Rolled arches Full Hunter alignment 2013 Eibach anti roll bars Nismo S Tune shocks and Eibach springs Eibach camber control arms Full HKS True Dual Exhaust & Berks HFC's RT Performance Chargespeed rear, fitted last year along with a respray on Nismo V1 front bumper. Nismo Skirts Headlight eyebrows Mishimoto Fan shroud DBA front discs and Ferrodo DS2500 pads AEM Pop charger 380 RS Pedal Carbon engine and battery etc covers Rear lights film tint Wrinkle Finish plenum Stubby Aerial Window Tints Wiper delete Tein bonnet dampers Interior refresh, generic double din with sat nav, ipod, bluetooth etc, centre consul sprayed gloss black (hint of gold metallic a Skyline colour), dash surrounds and a pillars trimmed in alcantara wrap, under strut sub box with JBL 10" such, Infinity door speakers, 2 Alpine amps. Probably some bits i have forgotten and will add if i remember. Mechanically great and most of the bodywork is good, but, it is a 2003 car and there are a few blemishes, the roof and bonnet paint are tired but polish up ok, i was going to put on a bulge bonnet and paint roof at the same time. I am happy to sell as is but obviously i would get more to strip off varying parts return to near std, because i have to put a price, start with a base package to include: Car with Nismo suspension and eibach springs/camber control arms & std wheels, all ice gear and interior as you see it here. Happy to discuss price on any additions you want to keep. Although the photos below are a year old its probably done just over 1k since.
  20. Or a power version is just going to end up at a stupid price point as the na version was too expensive in the first place, only in my opinion of course
  21. That will be your problem imho. When I bought my car the guy had replaced the clutch and not the flywheel as he was selling and didnt want the expense. It didnt bother me too much as a few revs made it disappear, I got round to changing both clutch and fly recently and doesnt judder at all now.
  22. That article also says Nissan have green lit the Idx and only justifies the US market sales figures of the Gt86, it doesnt paint the entire picture.
  23. 1st page, 2nd post Its gone now, so presume he has taken the add down and will refresh with the new price when he returns Interesting at £9k as a project, not at £12k though Let us know if you get it Scott will be good to see it made better
  24. I know which i would prefer to be driving in either link and its not the ones "winning" If the 370 is 30hp down on the Gtr and weighing a good 200+ kgs less i am not surprised it out dragged a gtr on a rolling start.
