  1. I still think the Zed is epic on track . . . Swap all the drivers around and do it again and I wonder what the outcome would be...just a thought.
  2. Ive not seen those clock faces for sale before? looks a nice and clean example either way - Facelift headlamps too.
  3. Question, is this a real Nismo 350z? If it is, aside from the clocks - what are the differeneces compared to a UK 350z with a factory Nismo body kit? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201609117647870?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&radius=1500&sort=price-asc&postcode=b330xj&body-type=Coupe&advertising-location=at_cars&make=NISSAN&seller-type=trade&transmission=Manual&price-to=7500&model=350%20Z&page=2

  5. Id say its the DMF reacting to the reverse drive or just Z33 RWD drivetrain whine.
  6. That's mega!! All set now for the winter, good man.
  7. Yeah that gel tbf didnt touch the rust, I've since wire brushed it and hammerite black brush painted it prior to its MOT a couple months ago - much better for now.
  8. Tbf I think if you fitted any of these performance premium tyres you wouldn't complain, visually ie side wall design I fancy the Yokohama Advan Sport V105 and always thought the MPSS sidewalls looked phat. My N8000 look way flatter and neater.
  9. It's ok saying it's just a 7k Nissan, however pls don't get value mixed up with worth ie how special something is. My dad's latest shape 64 plate mid spec ford focus is valued more than 95% of the 350z on here, is it special in any way.......... No
  10. About an hour before the above picture i was in a Maccies waiting for the Mrs to come back from the toilet and took a picture of the interior while the car was on idle. Looking back the voltage display was showing 13.8v which i think is ok. Love Love Love the 350z clocks Anyways the alternator stop doing what it was employed to do and in doing so took out the battery also. Had the car recovered to a Kwik Fit in the town where it stay all night as by this time it was out of hours. Warranty battery and alternator later and she's feeling good again Found out why the idle was off, can you spot the error with whoever fitted the induction kit previously?..... Next up, this..............
  11. New rear double sided number plate came loose on the one side, so stronger stuff needed. #PhotoOpportunity Following day and its off to my first car meet with the forum. Meet up with my pal Duncan for some 6 cylinder loving, DAMN that M roadster shifts!!! After the show drover over to Shirley retail park for a couple of chip repairs before the winter. Following weekend me and the Mrs drove up to Llandudno for a romantic weekend away, which resulting in....................
  12. A Stubby aerial from TarmacSportz of course came next, we all know what that looks like. Used pair of 20mm TarmacSportz, but i wanted them silver to blend in behind the wheels. Surface keyed, masked up, primer then painted. Next up was a bit of adjustment for the common issue of clicking rear axle when pulling away, wanted this doing before the weekend as it was the BHP Breakfast meet over in Telford hosted @ SVM. Combined with spacer install as it just made sense while the wheels were off. 10 months later and it seems to be holding up well While up on axle stands i gave the W brace a good coating of rust converter, which looks to reverse the chemical reaction leaving stolid steel again. Saturday morning at work for a bit of new car parking like a noob yay my stubby ffitted
  13. Tbf fair cost price for the led rear lamps each would probably cost a fair wack.
  14. Looks very neat in person and kinda meant to be there if that makes sense. For the price and 30mins on your back, its a no brainer
  15. First time filling up and she's drunk nothing else since *plenty of it mind!! Steering wheel was a ting bit off centre, so that had to be addressed promptly. Took her over to Tyres R Us Birmingham who did a lovely job at a very decent price too, £35 irrc and the N/S track rod needed heat putting on - no charge. OK i now know i have a JAPSPEED exhaust system, fairly new at least. figures
  16. Cheers both, ive had to open the splitter up and its still not wide enough - goes to show just how wide the Z33's are - but does work well for that OEM+ look.
  17. First thing i changed on the car was the awful number plates, for fresh GB ones and i think it makes her look younger oh no, poor sunny pushed forward out the way. Before After ahhhh, the little things hhhhmmmm those curves With the plates showing D V A together with a booty like that, there was one name - hello Davina and if you were still wondering.....................

  18. ta damn - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/111701-alternative-front-splitter-cupra-r/ David
  19. Saw another 350z with this and having done the same previously to one of my own cars, i thought id give it another go. Cut out small 15mm triangles in the splitter along the hidden top and bottom sections, this will allow the plastic to bend later - i cut out way more than i needed too. Cut off the two centre tabs almost flush, as these aren't needed. Remove the OEM front plastic splitter if you have this, x6 10mm and clips hold this in place. Offer up your new item as close to centre as possible and screw in a single self tapper (dead centre) just to hold the splitter in place. Work from centre to the edge of the bumper using screws every 20cm or so until you reach the end, then cut off the excess *should be cicra 12cm each side. You can position the new front splitter as far in or out as you want, so the final look is completely tailored. lower the car stand back and take a picture, you're done and only took 30mins. Pictures: Before After Clearance so far 3 months later is absolute fine with these wheels/tyres and Tein lowering springs. Tools & bits needed: Trolley jack x2 axle stands 10mm socket & ratchet Flat head screwdriver Phillips screwdriver Retractable blade Seat Leon Cupra R front splitter £38+vat from main dealer 15 or so self tappers Difficult level 1/5 The above is what i did myself and would only suggest the above be treated a guide. Cheers David
  20. Can you pls update you thread title lol
