White, dark wheels... I like.

Good luck with your mods

Wheel Size: 9.5 x 18 fronts 10 x 18 rears

Offset (front & rear): ET12

Tyre Size: 245/35/18 fronts 265/35/18 rears

Lowered: -30mm on Apex springs

Spacer sized if used: 3mm on fronts to clear Brembo caliper

Arch work if necessary: None.

Rear Camber: 1.5 degrees.

 

 

 

What wheels are these? This looks perfect on 30mm springs. How do you find it for scraping over speed bumps???

I think they are these:

Check out my build thread..

Teins are a fairly sensible approach and can deal with daily issues no probs in my opinion..

Speak to Adrain at TORQEN

As he said, Adrian sells them...

Cheers Gents, the bling list has just grown some more..!

Hi Mark, couple of folk have directed me to you via my build thread.. to be tempted by some bling..

Could you pm me some prices if poss mate.. Throttle body, bonnet catch and are you able to do the Perspex slam panel..?

My only problem will be how and when to exchange items as this is a daily driver, not sure how to work around that as yet but at least I'll have some prices, cheers..

Slow progress recently but I've managed a few small bits..

- removed the 350 badge from the rear, think it looks a bit neater

- fitted a kinetix v2 intake manifold, hmm shiny

- strut spacers fitted, thanks Wasso (yes it will rub without..)

- DB discs to rear to match fronts

- full detail.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/98192-mr-smiths-nissan-350z-detail/

- UpRev

Thank you to Jez and Phil for your work today, shame it wasn't a tad drier for the drive home!

Top service again Adrian, thank you..

Awesome Ed, just awesome..

How much are PPE long headers to buy in the UK?

 

Do you want 304 Stainless or Mild Steel headers

 

Formed collector with Spike or Parallel merged collector

 

and Bare or Black or Ceramic Polished finish

 

DE/UPREV or VHR/HR

 

Let me know what you want and I will get a price sorted;

What's the difference on the collector options..?

i feel as though i need to be on a list...!

Just a long shot to see if anyone has one lying around since they upgraded..

Will be a short term annoyance resolve for me until it gets replaced..

Good work my son, she's a beauty..

Really!!!

I big thank you to Adrian for getting my parts and delivering them to the garage in time for tomorrow's works.. top man.

Look forward to the next bits to arrive..

Are there issues with the steering column..?

So long as these are made for rh drive I don't see why they'd be any more restrictive than a standard set up..?

Ah blimey now you might need to send me some long tube header options...

There may well be some de-cats up for sale soon!

If youre looking for power then the dc ones would be a waste of time and money

 

Youd be much better off with the long tube ones that Torquen do, they can do stainless as well as coated mild

 

Not really number hunting, although it is something which I will listen to..

Can't really go down the longtube route as i need to be able to swap in cats each year for the m.o.t.

 

 

We all have friends for that :lol:

local ones..?

Got abbey to do my ones with the engine in .

 

DC sport S/S and did not wrap them .

 

 

 

A quick couple question to those that have changed theirs..

 

I'm looking at the stainless DC headers. Don't really want to consider the mild steel coated versions..

 

- what have people done about heat.. wrapped in heat tape? I heard that in itself can cause issues with causing weld cracking or is that pie in the sky?

- the engine will not be out.. I'm considering getting the garage to swap without looking at the clutch yet.. is this sensible or should I wait till they're doing the clutch for access etc..?

 

Many thanks.

I assume the heat is not an issue then..?

I still have the oem filter box with upgraded panel filter so that is closed off as much as poss..
