Haven't posted on here for a good while, just been busy and life getting in the way!

Here's my '04 350 GT.

Couple of things that I've done to it...

Lowered slightly on tein springs (although to be honest I still have to take speed bumps very slooowwww).

20mm spaces at rear and 15mm at front.

Mines style front lip.

Tarmac sports side steps.

Nismo rear spats.

Front bumper smoothed.

Thats it really, oh and a stubby Ariel and stainless exhaust from cat back (including y pipe).

Cheers for looking.

 

Was pretty nice by me this week so a nice drive to my home town Wallasey

Just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with the lip, Fitted perfect, just needed few self tappers on side of each arch, took less than 5 mins to fit.

It comes gloss black and looks perfect. For the price considering its already painted and so easy to fit, plus changes the front end this is a bargain!

Cheers Chris! Some pics in my build thread.

Cheers Scott! Haha, the car has actually been round it by the pervious owner but I think I want all the badges off to make it look clean

Cheers guys! Love the look of it.

@da.murf tubbyandy has a facelift one for sale in the for sale section

Cheers Davey Think i'll get the bumper resprayed, smoothed, remove the number plate holder and put a smaller plate on or put a square one on to one side to show the grill off more. Then I think black gloss roof with tinted windows, then Nismo spoiler.

 

That should do for styling mods then onto performance, Nothing too drastic just exhaust, de-cats, plenium spacer and re map.

 

Also want to get the paint touched up in a few places and wheels refurbished and then I should be happy I think!

 

Oh and want to remove the nurburgring sticker on the boot as was on when I bought it but don't like it.

Hey Guys,

 

Got my mines style lip off Chris at Tarmac, Fitted it this afternoon, fitment is spot on.

 

Went out this morning and got some better pics of the side steps (also from Tarmac) and Nismo spatz with a clean-ish car!

 

The photos of the lip are when I test fitted it this afternoon.

 

I've now fitted it properly and love it. I'll take some more pics soon.

 

Cheers,

Owen.

 

The Lip...

 

 

And a few from this morning...

 

 

I've put a few more pics in my build thread too

So got some better pics of the side steps and spatz and also test fitted my mines style lip from Chris at Tarmac.

 

I must say that the fitting of this lip is spot on, no modification needed at all!!

 

Love the look of it. Took decent pictures this morning but didn't fit the lip properly till later today so the pics of the lip it isn't secured on yet so i'll post some better pics soon!

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers guys, Cant wait to get the lip fitted!

Yeah I do have to be carful with speed bumps (sleeping policeman type) as the sides did hit floor yesterday just got to take it slow!

Glad I got the spacers on too, think it looks loads better than stock and fills the archers better

Hey Guys,

 

Posted this in my build thread too but i'm just so happy with the new side steps and spats on yesterday!

 

Sides from Andy on here (Cheers to Chris at Tarmac for sending me the fitting guide).

Spats from ebay but a UK seller and are a decent fit.

 

Both colour coded.

 

Mines lip has arrived and will go on next week. Going to keep the lip gloss black but possibly colour coded but middle section black.

 

Had tein S springs fitted few weeks ago and seem to have settled now too.

 

Cheers,

Owen.

 

 

Ok so had the side steps, thanks to Chris at Tarmac for sending me the guide, and had spats fitted too.

 

Car seems to have settled a little more springs now too.

 

Car is filthy so will try and get some decent pics took over the weekend.

 

Mines Lip has arrived too and will be going on next week

 

 

@strudul haha, I did too, when i first looked at that pic, I actually quite like them, not keen on the side ones too much tho!

So then I bought a slightly older one an 04 on a "53 plate, quite high milage but had full service history, was GT model and had black leather which I preferred. Needed a few bits doing, needed new clutch and window mechanism for passenger side and has a little crack in front bumper...

 

 

So as soon as I got it It had a full service including belts and spark plugs and new clutch and flywheel fitted along with new passenger window mechanism, which strangely enough didn't have the window reset button on it as think it was out of the skyline version, anyway didn't realise till the door card was off and old motor out, luckily it worked right away and fits snug so can't complain!

 

I've decided to leave it the colour it is as I do love it!

 

First thing I did was lower it on Tein S springs and fit spacers, 20mm front 25mm back. Only got one pic so far and not a very good one...

 

 

Sits well I think!

 

Next I ordered some tarmac side steps from Andy on here and also got some nismo rear spats.

 

The sides and spats have now been colour coded and are being fitted on Tuesday along with a mines style lip from Chris at Tarmac sports.

 

I'm going to leave the lip in black but going to to get the bumper re spayed, crack fixed, number plate holder gone, and Nissan badge recess filled in then might get a square number plate and have it mounted on side of number to show off the grill a little more.

 

Then after thats done I plan to have the roof wrapped gloss black and rear windows tinted too.

 

Then onto performance mods.

 

I'll post some pictures up once the body shop have fitted the bits this week!

 

Cheers,

Owen.

Hey guys!

 

Some of you may remember me from a few years back...

 

Had a 2005 Gt in Gun metal that was mint...but always wanted another white car after having a white civic coupe years ago so me and my house mate wrapped it white and black, doing piece by piece over a couple of months...

 

Bought like this...

 

 

Than after a bit of this...

 

 

 

It ended up like this...

 

 

 

 

Then circumstances changed and had to do a lot of traveling so sold the 350z of an audi a4 avant diesel, which was the most uncoftable car i've ever driven, so after missing the zed too much I decided to buy another... Please see next post

 

Cheers,

 

Owen.

Can I have this please? I'll PM you now thanks!

Can I have dibs on side steps please! I'll PM you now. Cheers.

Cheers for the comments guys! I used this place to get the wrap... http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/vehiclewrappingvws1.asp which is the airelease stuff. Was going to get of off eBay but then didn't trust it and know these guys actually wrap cars and there stuff looks great. Ordered around 11 meters I think

Hi Guys, not been on here for a whilst as been crazy busy with work...

 

I'm going to do a build thread but for now I've just done a gloss white wrap on my car.

 

Was originally a lovely gun metal grey but always wanted another white car since owning a cool little civic coupe back in the day.

 

The wrap was bought by myself and me and my housemate fitted it (well he did, used to tint windows so said he'd give it a go).

 

Everything came off the car (bumpers, lights, skirts, etc etc) for a clean finish. And did it after work or weekends, taking around 6 weeks!

 

I'm well happy with it, It's not perfect by any means but you can't really tell if up really, really close.

 

Roof is gloss black, front lip is 4d carbon, as is the spoiler and badges.

 

Wheels and door handles next in black. Then lowering and spacers, side skirts and lip/ bumper.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Owen.

 

 

 

Here's one of mine this morning, needs a good clean still.

 

Put on a carbon wrap on front bumper lower section too.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Owen.

Cheers GMballistic! Yeah I agree, deffo best colur

Was a nice day again today (surprisingly) so got the car washed and took it for a spin...

 

 

Cheers,

 

O.

Cheers GMballistic, 1st one on the list has a nismo kit on it haha. Cheers for that loads of inspiration right there, nice one!

 

O.

Haha, yeah the modding started!!

 

Not going wild though but...deffo getting nismo side skirts, rear spats. Probably nismo v1 rear spoiler.

 

I'm still undecided on a nismo front lip or if i just carbon or gloss black wrap the front section and fit a black zunsport grill (i'll be getting the grill anyway) and poss gloss black roof.

 

Lowering too and spaces.

 

Oh and maybe black burger badges too

 

I've looked through the forum for GM zeds with a nismo v1 kit and also with a black zunsport grill / black coated lip but can't really find any...

 

If anyone could help a noob out with some pics that would be great

 

Cheers,

 

O.
