  1. Up for sale are my brand new and unused Tegiwa Coilover Suspension Sock Covers (350mm). I purchased these when I bought my Meister R coilovers however I am no longer fitting the coilovers and these are no longer needed.

     

    I purchased these for £35 posted straight from Tegiwa. I have heard nothing but great reviews about them and how they protect your coilovers extremely well from dirt and grit.

     

    You can view the actual listing from Tegiwa here:

    These are generic covers and can be used for any vehicle not just 350z's. I would be happy to take £22 posted.

    Thanks,

  2. I have for sale a 350Z Roof Spoiler which was recently purchased from Tarmac. I have since decided against fitting it to my Z, it is still brand new and I still have the original packaging.

     

    The condition is good, although it did arrive with a few small paint imperfections (only noticeable if you're anal like me!). I've tried to picture these as best I can.

     

    £90 posted or £85 Collected from Portsmouth area.

    Tom.

  3. I've done numerous searches but still hugely confused with regards to coilovers and 350z's, I'm hoping someone can help and point me in the right direction to help me make a decision on which ones to buy!

     

    The plan/what I want to do: Coilover Suspension Set up with the intention to go extra low/stance route

    What I've been looking at: Meister R (Zeta-R) Coilovers or BC Coilovers

    My Budget: Anything up to £900 (although the cheaper, the better).

     

    So, question numero 1: After doing some research I've heard about "true" coilovers - Can anyone explain what makes the coilover "true"...?

     

    2: What are peoples common set up's or recommendations for coilovers? I've seen alot of people are on springs but I've always used the coilover route on my previous cars (mainly so I can adjust the ride height to my preference)... Apart from being a huge amount cheaper, is there any other reason why?

     

    3: In addition to coilovers, what else will I need to buy? What is essential if I'm going to stance it, and what is advisable? Camber Arms etc?

     

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

  4. Hey!

     

    I've been lurking behind the scenes reading posts and watching progress threads deciding where to start modifying my Z. Some people may have seen my detailing threads and really appreciate the great feedback from everyone so far.

     

    Yesterday I ventured up to Japfest and low and behold I was sucked in to buying a Scorpion Exhaust from the Scorpion Stand. They coincidentally had a 350z exhaust on show, so after a bit of haggling and persuading the mrs I got a brand new and unfitted exhaust for £110 cheaper than list price... £330 - I couldn't say no!

    The only problem is that the guys on the Scorpion Trade stand didnt have any exhaust clamps with them - so they are sending one out first thing Monday morning.

     

    My question is (because i'm so impatient!) Is there anywhere I can walk in and buy the exhaust clamp from? Is it worth replacing the gasket at the same time? If so, where is the best place? I need them for Tuesday ideally so don't really want to purchase online...

     

    Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!

  5. I haven't posted much on the forum yet, been lurking behind the screen reading posts and making my mind up where to start on the Z! My names Tom and I'm 21 from Hampshire - I bought it only a month ago completely standard, plans over the next couple of months include BC Coilovers, Scorpion Exhaust and some carbon goodies (splitter, diffuser and skirts).

     

    Those who have seen my newbie/welcome thread not too long ago would have already seen that I'm very into detailing! As always I forgot to get some 'before' pics, but after a good 6 hour cleaning session today it's all ready for Japfest tomorrow. This was after a snow foam, clay, Meguiars ultimate compound, polish and wax:

  6. Hi there! Thought I'd introduce myself as I picked up my 350 on Monday - my names Tom and I'm from Fareham, Portsmouth :)

     

    Used to own a MINI Cooper S with some subtle OEM+ touches so I'm almost certain the zed won't stay standard for long! Pics of the MINI (I'll really miss it!!):

    Took me a few weeks to find the right one when this one popped up a couple of hours away; a facelift 56 plate which was pretty much top of the range... I'll let the pics do the talking. The night I picked it up:

    The paintwork was awful and had so many swirls/scratches - think it had been put through a car wash it's whole life! After a snow foam, clay, polish and wax this is how it came up...

    and the first mod (albeit small): LED numberplate bulbs. Can't have a car without them!

     

    image_zps8071c258.jpg

     

    so the 'to do' mods list is huge, I won't bore you all... just watch this space ;) The private plate from the mini will soon been transferred once I have the new v5 through.

     

    Thanks for looking :)
