  1. I'm collecting points too but really slowly via Momentum 99. And I've been cycling to work pretty often too and missus has a company car (our weekend car) hence I'm not filling up as often. But hopefully the missus can pump at Tesco more often now. 😎
  2. 1 word - Jealous 😠Sound like you had lots of fun. I've been a very good boy this year, was wondering if Santa would give me a supercar track day Wowcher!
  3. Good buy at £500! Absolute bargain. Nice colour as well. I would buy them if I have the spare cash 😂 sure it will sell quick!
  4. Here's how I fitted mine http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?/topic/91440-Veeg33's-slow-dose-of-Zeditus...... Probably not the best guide but you'll get an idea. Also some sound advise from GM. Hope this helps. Thanks for that mate. Also is it recommended to go to 100 on torque wrench? also how do you get your pictures to show larger in posts mine always shrink when posting. Would like to get some pics up as well since I have a black z also No worries mate, happy to help. The recommended torque from Nissan is 108Nm. As for the pictures, I use Photobucket, uploaded the pics on that website, then copy the url of the pic and paste it in here. I uploaded the largest resolution pics into Photobucket, hence pics comes out fairly large. There is a 'how to' section here. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70277-how-to-add-pics-using-photobucket/

  6. These golden spacers does look really good. Thought I take some pics of it before I put lots of copper grease on it
  7. I did put lots around the centre hub which I hope it does make its way around the mating face. Thanks for the advice mate. Should be fine. Love the black on black look btw. I must admit I'm not a big fan of the OEM wheels (in silver) however when I saw this car on AutoTrader with satin black OEM wheels, I'm sold.

  9. Opssss, that's not good. Good no one is injured. Did you recommend him a zed while having a cuppa?
  10. Hello all....this will probably the slowest case of Zeditus around!! Got my zed for around 3months now, and I've only made a few mod which is stubby antenna and few LEDs swapped (all interior lights and rear number plate) . Apart from that, I've changed the brake fluid and coolant, which was done by Nissan Pentagon Huddersfield and changed gearbox oil (with Molyslip) and LSD oil, both brought from Ewen, Clark Motorsport (one of the many great trader in this forum). And also attempted to repair stone chips all around my zed, and used a DA polisher to give my zed some good TLC. Oppss....not forgetting the 'Z' wheels valve cap. Lets starts my zed's build journal: 18th Oct 2014 Since I've managed some spare time today, I've decided to remove the boot weight before I start on the wheel spaces Highly recommended these tools below.....its a life saver......or should I say, plastic panel saver.....and also not forgetting the 10mm socket to remove the weight. Successfully remove all clips/studs/fasterner (which ever way you fancy calling them) however 1 old bracket decided to snap =( I'm removing them for the first time and it does need some force to get the panel out....be brave =) Here's a link to the 'how to' section of removing the weight --> http://www.350z-uk.c...ix-boot-pop-up/ Since I'm on it, I've also gave the boot poppers a quick low cost fix (One rubber o-ring and 2 washers). I used the o-ring at the bottom to avoid damage to the paint work if I only use washers. Some people use pennies..... After the removal of weight and fixed the poppers.....its good to see it bounce open with one hand.... Then I move to the wheel spacers..... Brought 2 sets of wheel spacers from Chris at Tarmac Sportz (a great trader here for those who new to this forum) as part of group buy special and will get them on today They are 20mm and 25mm hubcentric spacers in gold........yep, it goes well with the Brembos Here's the tools I've used 1.) Torque wrench 2.) 19mm and 21mm deep socket 3.) 1/2" to 3/8" converter for the torque wrench 4.) Anti-seized grease 5.) An artist's brush to apply the grease Few pics of my zed before the spacers Picture of the front 20mm spacer next to the Brembo....they do match up well.... For the front, to stop it from rotating, I added a socket extension in between the disc and rest it on the side of the caliper (sorry guys....I think some of you will not approve this method and I'm sure there is a much better way) However, I make sure I do not put sudden load while torque up the nuts to secure the spacer. And also remember to remove it...... I added lots of anti-seized grease on the bolts and torque them up to 100Nm. I started off with the bottom one and next one in a star pattern (i'm sure you know what I mean) Before the wheel goes back on....again lots of anti-seized grease on the new bolts. Then finally torque up to 100Nm again. By the way, for the front wheels, you'll need to remove both 12mm bolt + spacer which I think they are there to secure the disc brake in place. I might be wrong (someone please correct me if I am). I'm not too worry with it being removed as the spacers + 5-off 19mm nuts will do the same job really. Opppsss......found this bad boy in the rear passenger side wheel =( Lucky I've placed the both front spacers and just only started the rear, so wheel back on and drove to a local tyre shop. Here the bad boy!!! 20mins later....all spacers are in......and went out for a test drive with windows all down and audio off. Listening really carefully if there is any noise.......All good!! Car feels more planted to the ground....steering wheel slightly heavier.......tracking all good.......love the new feel to the car with spacers on Oh yeah...went for a quick jet wash too at Morrison's (£3.00 for 5mins) Here's some picture of my lovely zed with 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers Enjoy.... And finally......look at that @sS.......absolutely loved it.....who doesn't love a good wide 350z @sS That's all from me for now and I'm now saving up for a set of Varrstoen ES2, which will be somewhere mid 2015. Apart for that, I'm also saving deposit for a house so Zeditus is currently under control (some say its under the thumb)
  11. That's because the exhaust is out of stock so they price the item extremely high so no one purchases it and revert the listing back to normal price once it's back in stock. They do this to save on expenses relisting the item I wonder if any super rich ricer would buy them at that price?
  12. Patience will pay off nicely.....
  13. Yep, I've seen the GoPro entry level camera at £99, doesn't have much functions on it. Can't argue with a GoPro Hero4 but with a premium price tag 😢
  14. £70 ish for this GoPro wannabe camera. Looks pretty good, video quality not bad, wifi function, etc for a fraction of the price of GoPro. Not sure if the site legit or not. http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-SJcam-SJ4000-WiFi-Car-DVR-Camera-Sport-DV-Novatek-Waterproof-wp-Uk-939976.html
  15. Fantastic car, such a work of art mate! Don't know why I only just spotted this? Read all of it from day 1 of your build and I was wondering if you were my colleague's mate (Michael K) who works in CTT. He told me about a Nissan 350z drift car with a V8 engine. Will check this thread often to see if I can attend any event you'll be in.
  16. Guy Martin's spitfire! One of the best I've watched so far. It's on 4oD
  17. Arrived today in a UPS box but delivered by DHL . Looking great and the colour almost similar to my brembos (original colour). Will be fitting them this weekend if everything goes to plan. Thanks again Tarmac!!
  18. Love at first sight! Deeply in love once you are in......
  19. Spotted Cyclops in office today. He's been there all this while 😆
