  1. Good news that you got your centre caps back at least. Where did you buy your wheel nuts btw? The reason I ask is you need to be careful with buying those especially off places like eBay as cheap copies are rife. If you haven't already try some of the traders on here for your wheel nuts like Torqen, Tarmac Sportz, the Cougar Store etc. All in the professional traders area.
  2. Plenty of colour examples in this thread below wilo for you to look at. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/90092-pic-heavyphotoshopped-pics-of-rays-in-different-colours-on-a-gunmetal-zed/
  3. Welcome aboard Jake.
  4. If the car was mapped with the De-Cats on, then refitting them will not need a remap. If the car was mapped with the De-Cats and you are now running with OEM Cats then the only thing I can think of is that you will be losing some performance as the OEM Cats are nowhere near as free flowing as De-Cats which are basically just straight through pipes. I shouldn't think it isn't necessarily too bad for the OEM Cats unless the car is running rich & a lot of fuel is being passed into them in which case it won't be doing them any good. Some of the traders on here like Abbey Motorsport or Horsham Developments would be better at answering the question though than me I'm sure.

  6. If you're looking at a way of getting your 350Z to drift events with tyres etc then the cheaper and probably safer option would be to buy an old car transporter truck imo. Like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Sprinter-313-Recovery-Truck-Car-Transporter-/322149650530?hash=item4b019d9062:g:qGIAAOSwc1FXYH0F Price wise it's probably around the same as buying a decent car transporter trailer plus a large enough vehicle to tow it with. You would need a pretty heavy weight vehicle to tow a car transporter trailer, plus a 350Z with some spare drift tyres. Fyi ~ A small"ish" car transporter trailer would probably actually weigh in around 600-650kg unladen plus you'd more than likely want some accessories on it as well like a winch or even spare trailer tyre so again that would increase the weight. If that's what you're thinking of though try giving "Indespension" a ring. I used to work for them in Cardiff at one point and the guys at your local branch should be able to advise you on; towing limits, what sort of vehicle you'd need, prices for new & used trailers etc. Link: http://www.indespension.co.uk/
  7. Where do you think I've been for the last hour? Yep, washing my car. I can sleep easy tonight now knowing it's clean.
  8. Been there, ..hell I washed my old Impreza once when it was as dam near snowing! The water from the hose was more or less freezing on the car.
  9. ^^ What they said. Sorry to read that Graham but no point accepting the car back if you weren't happy with it. Fingers crossed you get it sorted to your satisfaction.
  10. Nice upgrade D12 & welcome aboard. Any pics of the new ride? Photobucket is the easiest way to post them btw: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103472-how-to-add-your-photos-to-the-forum/
  11. Looks fantastic. You just need these Silvertec T20 bulbs as below now to get rid of those nasty orange ones. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILVERTEC-BU582-SILVER-CHROME-INDICATOR-BULB-T20-CAPLESS-WEDGE-TWIN-PACK-2-BULBS-/121378502875?hash=item1c42b8f8db:g:LF4AAOSwlfxXFiti
  12. Really? That's pretty crazy that it's like that in this OTT health & safety culture we have nowadays. Yep hope all are ok.
  13. ^^ Cheers for that, ..definitely some fun stuff for me to try out later.
  14. Like the new look to your Zed Steve. Some nice drifts but dam you must go through some tyres though!
  15. As long as you can see, others can see you & you're happy with how it looks, then that's all that matters.
  16. My alloys are so curbed by the previous owner that no amount of cleaning will make them look any good. Your Rays do look great AMT, ...like new.
  17. It does look good in the daytime Dean but, ....and no offence intended, the Zeds headlights (imo) are bad enough at night at times so I wouldn't go making them worse with tinting. Does look good though against the sunset orange & I guess if you don't drive at night much then it's probably not an issue. @Hudders ~ I used the Megs headlight restore kit (including fine sanding paper) and then sealed it with Turtle Wax Ice synthetic paste polish wax.

  18. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ....and, they're dirty again!
  19. The B-pillar trim is held in place by 3 clips Mart, ...best off using a hairdryer first to heat it up a little before trying to remove as from what I've heard they are prone to snapping as you pull the trim off. Guide for you below... Link: http://my350z.com/forum/body-interior-exterior-and-lighting-diy/338322-removing-your-a-and-b-pillars.html
  20. No problem, good luck Ash.
  21. No problem.
  22. Sounds good and good luck with getting your first place with the Mrs. Did exactly that last year and it can be difficult & expensive I know.
  23. Thought you'd sold up blaqkaudio!. Still got the Zed & cracking on with the mods then?
