  1. Thanks for the advice. Ideally I really wanted to have the car sold before Christmas, but I'll maybe hold off dropping it for a bit longer. Cheers, Daniel
  2. Thanks, and yes being so far north can be a curse! I'll maybe add to the advert that I'm willing to deliver the car within a radius, or meet someone in the middle.
  3. Anyone? I've still not had any offers, is it the price? I think that it is very good value at that price, but then I know what's been spent on it, maybe from the outside it seems too expensive? Any offers/advice considered. Cheers, Daniel
  4. Price dropped by a massive £1,000. I would love this to go to an enthusiast who will look after it, someone make me an offer on it
  5. Thanks guys. Also, price drop! It's very hard to value a car like this, it cost over £40,000 to build, but I'm not under any illusion that I will be able to recover even half of that. So if you're interested please make an offer. Kind regards Daniel
  6. Hi all, I have decided to sell my pride and joy, my Nissan 370Z. I have owned this car for nearly 5 years and it had one previous owner before me (a doctor who also spared no expense on the car). It has never been accident damaged or stolen and has no outstanding finance owed on it. Throughout my ownership I have spent a small fortune on this car, and it has been maintained by me to the highest standard. This has also been my daily driver, and I drive it to work nearly every day. It is a truly fantastic car, very quick and agile, yet refined and reasonably economical when cruising. I would much prefer to sell the car as is, with all the current parts, because it makes a fantastic package that I think checks all the boxes, and I would rather not remove some of the high-end parts which would cheapen it. I have listed the full spec further down, but I have gone through some of the best (and not so best) points here first: The Engine/Exhaust: The car pulls hard as it should, these engines are well known for their reliability, and I have changed the oil and oil filter every 6 months (with receipts to prove). The exhaust on the car has a switch in the cabin to change the volume. It uses the standard backbox in quiet mode, so there is very little noise at all, but when the system is open, the exhaust bypasses this and goes straight to the tailpipes, letting the V6 sing with a very exotic note, thanks to the x-flow section. This system was built by J-Fab (Paul Jamieson) who is known locally for being the best of the best, the welding is pure art (see pics). The Audio: The audio system in the car really needs to be heard to be appreciated. The Hertz components sound superb in the custom-built door adapters (behind the OEM grills), and the 1000w RMS Alpine subwoofer delivers plenty punch to match. The system is tuned using an Audison audio processor which has been tuned for the exact acoustics of this car and has time correction enabled for the best listening experience. The wide kit: The kit on the car is aggressive looking but isn't insanely wide, which means the car is very streetable, it adds only about 30mm each side. I worked hard to get the stance of the car just right, while still making it daily drivable. It will clear all but the very largest speed bumps without bottoming out, and yet has an aggressive stance. The current tyres don’t rub on the arches at all. The 'not-so-best': The car is used daily, and has been driven on long journeys to shows, and as a result, there are some stone chips on the arches, skirts and fins. The arches also have some imperfections in the paint, that appeared shortly after the car came out of the bodyshop. The underside of the skirts are scuffed from tall speedbumps, although this isn’t visible unless the car is in the air. The cap on the subwoofer has been cracked by a loose item in the boot, however I have taped it as a temporary measure and it doesn’t affect the operation of the subwoofer. I have managed to find a replacement cap from the US.

  7. Bump, cracking set of coilovers and bargain for someone!
  8. Hi mate, I'm in Aberdeen, but I can split courier costs with you if you would like them posted? Would be £15 each unless you can find something cheaper and want to arrange it. Cheers, Dan
  9. Hi, I have a set of BC Racing BR RS coilovers for sale. This is a brand new set, boxed, never opened. I have decided to go a different direction with the car so these are surplus to requirement. These cost £800+ from most places, including eBay etc. so grab a bargain. Price is nearest offer, but lets keep it sensible £650 ono Will post to UK or Europe. Cheers, Dan
  10. Hi all, I have for sale an electronic cutout exhaust kit that is brand new and never been fitted (only tested as shown in the video). This is a dual kit and comes with everything you will need to get it up and running on the car. The kit has a manual switch as in the video but also comes with a key fob remote to open and clove the valves similar to Akrapovic systems etc. The cutout can be fitted anywhere on the system there is space, nearer the front for more volume or closer to the rear for less. The great thing about these valves is that when closed the car sounds perfectly standard. I am fitting a set of these to my own car, the only reason I am selling is because I ordered the wrong size (facepalm) so grab a bargain I am absorbing the shipping and import on these. Don't be fooled by the cheap ebay listings, lots of import duty to pay on them and a 3 month wait. £160 posted within the UK. Thanks for looking Cheers, Dan
  11. Photobucket's change in terms has obviously screwed up all the pictures in this thread, which is pretty annoying, not going to be fun restoring them, don't even know if I should bother or not. I have my own hosting which I should have been using anyway and this is the reason why! Anyway I was at Cleanfest at the weekend which was a pretty good event, sadly it rained the whole day though.
  12. No everything arrived safe and sound, it was a huge package though for the whole kit and cost £600 to ship it.
  13. Hi, yes the car will pass emissions however these are now SOLD, thank you for your interest. Cheers, Dan
  14. Hi mate, I'll need to measure them when I get home as I'm not actually sure what sizer they are, 4" I would guess. Here are some pictures for reference: Cheers, Dan
  15. Any interest in these, is the price too high? Will listen to sensible offers. Cheers, Dan
  16. Really nice mods, car is looking fantastic! Spacers are a must for every car. Also keen to see a video of this exhaust in action.
  17. Hi all, I haven't been on for a while but I'm finally doing the valved exhaust mod that I've been planning for ages. I'm also changing the tail pipes to quad pipes to suit the moonbeam diffuser better. The shine bits and Zeppojeff lent me a polishing cone so I've started down a slippery slope of polished stainless perfection... the left one is before and the right is after: Can't wait to get this fitted
  18. Hi all, I have for sale my custom made short tails for the 370z. These give the best sound I've ever heard from a 370z, as long as the rest of the exhaust is standard. I dont't recommend fitting these to a car that has decats unless you live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, or want a crazy sound as the sound is absolutely brutal. The sound from just the short tails alone though is very nice, very smooth and exotic sounding, and very much louder than stock. I didn't find it too loud but be aware this isn't a subtle option. Here are a few videos of the sound: This link is to these actual pipes on my personal car: https://www.dropbox....06 20.16.05.mp4 And these are the same design pipes on the AAM car: These ones were custom made from T304 stainless steel by a professional exhaust shop, and have only been fitted for less than 5000 miles because I took them off after I got my decats due to it being too loud for where I live. Grab a bargain as these are a third of the cost of the AAM versions. These are not the cheap and nasty, template made Cybox tails, these were custom made, with top quality parts, on the car for a perfect fit. £160 posted to the UK Best bang for buck exhaust you can get for the 370z. Thanks for looking. Dan
  19. Got some really great photos taken recently by Alex Denham Photography, the car was really dirty but didn't have a chance to clean it :/ Plans for this year are to get a valved exhaust and maybe change the wheel colour. If I win some money then I'll get air as well oh and also get the new front bumper pieces from CarbonSignal, as these pieces are for the standard bumper which is why they aren't a perfect fit.
  20. Cheers, kit is about 60-70mm wider overall, roughly 30-35mm wider each side, and yeah I have just added spacers for now to fill them out.
  21. Thanks for the comments! Weather has been terrible so haven't been able to get good pics, this is all i have so far. And this one with my other halfs RB Miata This is actually the spot I took the first ever proper pic of my Z, so thought it would be cool to go back, below is a before and after, 3 years apart:
  22. So the work is finally done... the first Moonbeam Widebody 370Z with the 2015 Nismo front end. More pictures to follow after the weekend
