Come on, catch up to 2015!

 

I'm working on it

B-e-a-uuuutiful.

December 2014:

A few months passed by with no changes as the show season had already passed before I had chance to attend any...a small update nonetheless courtesy of Chris at Tarmac Sportz.

20mm front spacers & 25mm rear spacers

Couple of fitted pics - makes a world of difference, just got to close that arch gap up a little though...watch this space

Great choice fella! Go on, spill the beans....what you get it for then?

When's the grand reveal?

Yeah Autosol, or Meguiars NXT, or even Carbon Collective Lustre.

Failing this, paint them black

Buy Gemini system with just titanium (no burnt) tailpipes, she'll never know

Laaavly

Congrats and welcome aboard!

Sooo…MOT Time (July 2014)…..everything all fine and dandy…oh wait, there’s a crack in my exhaust!! Luckily it wasn’t enough to fail the MOT so I could take the car home, but it was back on the blower to Mitz again.

So, time for a resonated cobra system, including the Y-pipe upgrade. The order was placed, and the goods arrived shortly after.

In the meantime, some lovely lady who lives opposite me decided to reverse straight into the front wing of my zed! Then she even managed to claim 50/50 responsibility for ‘collision’ – let’s not go there.

Fortunately, Ewan at Clark Motorsports was on hand to provide me with a brand new genuine OEM front wing as a replacement. There was damage to the front bumper as well to add insult to injury, having only had the bumper re-sprayed less than 5 months ago, I was rather annoyed to say the least!

Back to Addiction To Detail in Coventry to have the damages repaired and the new Cobra resonated cat-back system fitted (what a lovely sound by the way).

Wow. Get some pics

Love your Zed mate, a real corker!

 

E-Type's not bad either!

Cheers fella! Oh yes, the E-type is a beaut. It's my Grandads, not mine unfortunately!

Seen this at a few meets, it's honestly one of my favourites! Looking forward to the next big thing you have planned and seeing you document it (saw it mentioned in another thread but it seems to have been kept quiet here so far )

Thanks mate - appreciate your kind words. I haven't quite caught up with all the change yet, so watch this space. A few people will be aware of what's already happened and what is coming

You must have a lot of faith in your handbrake parking it there. Nice car and tastefully done.

Thanks buddy. I know right! Things we do for pictures eh!?

I then took the Zed home and grabbed a couple more shots...

This is how the zed looked when I went to pick it up…

I then left the car as it was for the winter months as I couldn't justify having any bodywork done for it to be left dirty every day, so I waited until the end of February and got the worst weather out of the way.

There was minor damage to the front bumper and one of the side skirts (fibreglass!!), so the first thing I did was take my car down to a trustworthy body shop called Addiction to Detail in Coventry.

I was proud to have the factory fitted Nismo kit so I wanted it looking perfect!

So the following work was done on the car:

-Repair and respray front bumper

-Repair and respray passenger side skirt

-Repair clear coat peel on tailgate, de-wiper and re-spray

-Respray rear bumper

-Refurb and paint Rays in custom colour (inc. 2K clearcoat)

-Plasti-dip interior door handles in satin black

-Fitted some TPI gold nuts for good measure as well

-Also fitted some black Z burgers from Asad front and rear too, as well as a black 350z badge on the tailgate

Some work in progress pictures:

Next up was my first experience with Mitz (Cougar Store) and a very pleasant one at that. I ordered the 12-grooved Black Diamond discs for the front; along with the BD pads and some white HEL braided brake lines.

Quick to respond to messages and had the goods sent out the following day.

I wonder what upgrades are planned for this car... hmmm

 

I wonder :p

You should've kept it standard

I'm only jealous (only a little bit ). Love that car and mods you already got on it and planning to put on!

Cheers buddy

Looks awesome!

What front bumper is that on the black 350? Reg starting with N12

Is it do luck?

Not sure on the name of the bumper, but it is Humpy's car....may be able to find out by dropping him a message or finding his thread!

So, in October 2013 I took ownership of my 2007 Ebisu Black Revup engine 350z with genuine Nismo factory-fitted kit.

The car was on 37k miles and came complete with the GT pack:

-Sat Nav

-Cruise Control

-Heated Black Leather Seats

-Upgraded Bose Sound System

It was a long and arduous task trying to find the zed for me, I went to look at some really, really poor examples which were made out to be ‘mint’ in the advert.

The car I ended up buying was the 8^th Zed I’d been to look at across the UK, and I managed to sort out a nice little deal with the seller. I left a deposit with him and arranged to collect the car the following weekend.

I cut this short and ended up going to pick it up during the week as if I couldn’t wait until the weekend. The owner kindly left the car on 5 miles in the tank for me (what a Gent!). Me being my picky-self went straight onto my phone to find the nearest Shell garage as I wanted to start as I meant to go on.

V-POWER!

And a few pictures when I got it home and washed it the following day, in the rain

To be continued....

Looks quality! May consider that route myself!
