couldn't get any great photos of the bumper today so i have some not so good ones to put up

pic when i picked the car up

and one from a few days after

Excuse the light eyebrows. they fit really badly so have been removed

Bumper all fitted so will get some photos tomorrow...

Bought some fake suede the other day and had my first go at trimming the A pillars.

This is the finished product, went better than i expected.

all fitted now so will take some pics of that too

It does look sick on the 370z! I just need to find a good body shop in the East Midlands to get it sprayed up...

Nice parts

 

Luv the front bumper thats what i always planned to get.. Who supplied that?

The company I got it from is RT-Performance, no cracks in the fibreglass and only 2-3 bits of primer to get smoothed down

been a while since i updated the build thread so here we go. HSD coilovers and rear camber arms ordered from driftworks.

coils are all fitted but yet to fit the camber arms.

Also ordered new bushings for the front end. i got these fitted by a garage for 200 quid and that included new bolts on the exhaust (headers to decats)

mixed reviews on these bushing but i went for it and there great! go great with the coils too, front end control is mint. only cost 100 quid posted from the states too...

another shot of the coils getting ftted

so on tuesday got a parcel from tarmac sportz with some little bits

Thought it was about time i joined the stubby Aerial crew. ive put down the colour on eyebrows just waiting a few days before lacquer...

Friday brought along a big parcel

Amuse AMS front bumper, standard bumper had a big scuff on it from last owner so its the perfect excuse to get an after market one!

Took at trip to Halfords on saturday and walked away with a Pioneer double din head unit SPH-DA110 for 100 quid. i felt like i had stole it!

Had a go at trail fitting it and it fits fairly well. this kind of thing isn't my strong point. if anyone knows of a facia that fits this head unit please let me know or even a shop that has one.

Just got to wait for the harness to arrive and fingers crossed it goes smoothly. not even 100% i bought the right one... ( sorry about the iphone photos)

A lot of stuff to do on the 350z in the next few weeks so i better get on it... including building an iphone dock in the ashtray

Just noticed this on the old exhaust, i'm guessing this dosent come like this as standard?

Also nailed getting the golf clubs in!

Had another package from the state, New decats. Got to my door in 2 days!

The sound difference is amazing from the new pipes, makes such a difference. Also Got the private plates on and mounted it lower down. shame about the holes...

wtf? how did it get like that lol!?

These decats came with 2 brackets that attach to where the OEM cats did... the square is where the whole weld came out. not a clue what caused it to do it though...

Had some blowing from the front end on the new system and by the time i got home it sounded like a hot rod! had a look underneath and found this on the left decat! New ones have been order fron the states and will be here in two day

Sounds better than I thought it would, the rasp is beautiful. Just wish the video could do it justice...

 

I'm guessing it wasn't cheap importing and all?

 

Cost £328.71 in total! And was at my door in 4 days!

 

Damn that's not bad at all! Did you get customs charges in that?

I thought it was a good price! all the charges where included aswell. the only thing i got charged extra for was debit card transaction and that was only 9 quid... i will deffo be importing again, some things work out so much cheap from the states

I need this! Is it from plush automotive?

Sounds better than I thought it would, the rasp is beautiful. Just wish the video could do it justice...

clip of the new system. Car had been running around 5 mins before video. The sound that is picked up by my iphone isnt great!

embedding the video wont work for some reason

Here you got toner, sorry for the delay. here it is from the rear (not great quality).

Just done a 210 mile trip in the zed today from Derby to Newton abbot. Longest one yet and it only used half a tank! i was expecting to have to refill... Slight headache from the exhaust but she ran perfect the whole way!

Yea I'll love till hear a sound clip. Was think about doing a single exit but I didn't know what it would look like would you take a picture face on of the back of the car please 😃🍻

Yeah i will take one latter today and put it up

Fitted the back box and straight through pipe at the weekend, didn't get round to fitting the Y-pipe and decats as im waiting for gaskets. Also pined the centre of the bumper up to see what it would look like with the new exhaust. i think im gonna keep it like that but just fix it there better...

Y-pipe and decats fitting tomorrow if gaskets arrive...

Yeah, and I've taken that out... Should be fitting it next week so I might put a sound clip up, if I can work out how...

Little update, had some parcels come in the post this week!

first came the de-cats, thanks Faraz for selling them.

Then today the Japspeed Y-pipe came from Scully, cheers

Also today my single exit Megan racing back box and centre pipe arrived, ordered from a company called CZP in America.

Hate or love welcome

I've sent a PM

Anyone know of a good one i could use? just need a straight through pipe from Y-pipe to single exit back box... got quoted 300 from a company in Brum, seams abit much!

Where are you located? is postage included in the £75?

Cheers guys! Cant complain at the out come considering it came out of a can.

I think single exits look the best. im gonna have to do it.

Not keen on the Z badge on the rear strut then? Good job though

Nah not really, big fan of the smoothed look!

Little update, not got alot of cash at the min as buying the Zed skinted me for this month. Cant help my self doing bits to the car though...

Had a go at spraying the rear strut bar, i also smoothed it to get rid of the Zed logo and the 6 holes. All done with a **** can (Y)

Roll on pay day!
