  1. Just been looking on Autotrader to see how that price compares NIgel. Two examples below for similar money but with slightly lower miles; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201410308619136/sort/pricedesc/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/make/nissan/usedcars/maximum-mileage/up_to_35000_miles/postcode/cf158rl/radius/1501/model/370z/maximum-age/up_to_4_years_old/page/3?logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201410288555902/sort/pricedesc/postcode/cf158rl/radius/1501/make/nissan/maximum-age/up_to_4_years_old/page/4/usedcars/model/370z/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/maximum-mileage/up_to_35000_miles?logcode=p You can ask what you want for it and tbh I can't see why someone wouldn't pay that for it but it may be a slow sale when there are other examples out there for less money ~ some with less miles, ...granted not much but still. Mods won't make much difference imo to the average Joe public especially as most probably don't even know what HFC's are or an UpRev. Good luck with the sale and in short I'd definitely try to sell it for the £18.5K if you're in no hurry. Would love the 370Z black edition.
  2. Really? That would be awesome if you could have a look for me thanks. Have asked Alex but I haven't heard back from him yet which is fair enough as I think he's pretty busy. Let me know please Graham if you do have one you're willing to sell me. Thanks. Happy to let you have it for nowt if I can find it Gareth Even better. I'll pay you some postage or something though if you like. Let me know if you have any luck finding it. Thanks.
  3. GLWTS Graham, ...shame but if need's must and at least you've still got that other awesome Nissan to play with.
  4. Cheers Dan ~ that means a lot just like when Graham commented as I know you've also been on here along time & seen plenty of Zeds. Plus I've read a lot of your car reviews and you seem to have good taste.

  6. Cheers Harry. Definitely getting it where I want it to be. Always wanted more performance from it as I think the looks of the 350 are great so that's why I focused my efforts more towards the performance than the cosmetics straight from the start.
  7. Look's pretty good. Can't help but wonder how it all pans out with Paul Walkers character considering his untimely death. Guessing that he probably dies in the film too? I'll be watching this when it's out but most likely I'll wait for it on DVD.
  8. Thanks ZEUS and yeah the fun's over with, ....for now. I still have a list of things that I want to buy/do to my Zed but I think they'll have to wait awhile. That's a shame, I was enjoying this. Well I still need to get the Nissan badge for the engine cover and I did also order something the other week from eBay that you might find amusing. Pic's next week when it arrives.
  9. Oh you're right Vik, ..it is cool, very cool.

  11. Gonna be amazing Adrian ~ can't wait to see how this turns out for you. Also thanks for that one piece pipe again, ..finally got it fitted to my Zed along with the Sc kit. All done now & very happy with it.
  12. Although the noise is fantastic. Now go find some tunnels to drive through Dashurik.
  13. Yeah it's very cool and loads of us Zed owners have dipped interior parts Vik. As Kyle mentioned it has been talked about on here loads.
  14. Black Zunsport mesh grille (with towing eye hole) Carbon Fibre engine cover (modified to fit Supercharger setup) Hope you like the pics Chris.
  15. So it was my Birthday the previous Friday and my old man came up trumps in the form of getting me a lovely black Zunsport grille for my Zed. Ok I did hint at wanting one and may have left a printed copy of the page showing the exact item I wanted from Tarmac Sportz, ..but if you don't ask you don't get or you end up getting something of no use that you don't want. Not the best picture but here it is; ^^ The other good thing for me about having the Zunsport grille now is that it also protects/hides my oil cooler & intercooler which can only be a good thing. Bit more stealthy and hopefully less chance of a stone or something puncturing either. I also purchased another item from, ...yes you guessed it Tarmac Sportz. A carbon fibre engine cover. Bought this as my old standard one had got a bit cracked by Jez whilst modding it to fit around the pulleys/belts etc. No big deal though as I had already lost my Nissan badge & the "V6 3.5" logo was looking a little tatty so I was already thinking about changing it at some point. Now for those of you thinking of getting one of these it is a great looking piece of carbon fibre goodness but imo definitely needs a bit of fettling before fitting. I modified the fitting holes using my Dremel & a grinding stone so that I could reuse the standard OEM rubber spacing bungs & metal collars. This also provided me with the correct spacing between the cover & top of the engine block. I also had to modify mine to fit around the pulleys/belts of the supercharger set up which I did again by using my Dremel: Firstly I drilled a series of 2.5mm holes in a curved shape where I wanted it to meet up with the straight lines I had marked for cutting. Then I used the Dremel with a fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel along the lines I had marked up to the holes I had drilled. I then removed the piece I had cut out and tidied it all up with a grinding stone. Also with the engine cover removed I also took the time to add a non return valve between my oil catch can & plenum in order to further stop boost pressure from pressurizing the crankcase. It does have one as standard on the crankcase but I really wanted to protect it further as Bennett & Sam Mcgoo had. Engine cover came out pretty good even if I do say so myself. Just need a nice Nissan badge now to finish it off. *cough, cough, Zmanalex* Thanks for reading.
  16. Your video skills are definitely improving Andy.

    Tool Set

    Yep you can get a lot off with the trade card. I bought a 7 draw tool chest the other week that should have been £150 odd but with my trade card it was only £70. Plus one for the Halfords professional range by the way. Very good quality tools for the price.
  18. Thought you'd left us. Great news Trig ~ build thread might be an idea. Still lurking lol. I tried the engine into a spare shell I have as it's got no front on it well just the chassis legs. And it fits so that's one worrie off my mind but I will need to change the inlet/plenum as I don't like the rear entry and it could foul the bulk head as is. May have a go at making a new inlet. Maybe even twin inlets like the 370. If you do make sure to get some pictures of the work in progress if you can. Should be really interesting to see.
  19. MAF housing now sold. Standard air intake pipe still available.
  20. Thanks Andy. Few more bits yet to release but then it will slow down a bit in here until I can afford some more goodies like bigger brakes, ..or maybe a Brian Crower stroker kit for the engine. Would need serious cash for the latter though.
