  1. Hi mate .... I didn't actually clock you until you shot it up to the r/about and then along the fleet road .....day dreaming! -= but oh MAN that sounds nice! - I live just around the corner on Trunk Rd, Lastnight was an ache actually - managed to kerb my immaculate rays, front nearside - momentary distraction looking for a piece of gum I dropped ...... gah! idiot! J
  2. Same as, 2 years on ... still grinnin! - Welcome -
  3. Sorry for delay, can't access from the office! - The reason I have 17's for sale is because I upgraded to Rays, so I don't actually have a need for more ..... but, you could buy mine, fit them and then sell your Rays! Which is kinda the same thing right!?
  4. I have a set of 17" with tyres > http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108257-17-wheels-tyres/ ....

    Finally .....

    I've kept the old motor and will see if I can recondition for it happens again moment! - ... hope she doesnt quieten down too much! ..loving it ... Lights are standard, I got them off a forum member- my nearside had been cracked and badly repaired (prev owner) and the inside was rusting + hazing was really bad .. I played with US / Aus imports or splicing to fit UK ones and then ... boom a forum member offered me his, straight off a JDM good as new.....

    Finally .....

Then, I fired her up!!! .... HAHAHAHAHAHA .. ... Pictures when it stops raining ....

    Finally .....

    and finally, today .... it's all fitted ... Passenger window goes up and down, I'll be able to tell tonight if the lighting situation has improved (seriously couldn't be any worse) AND she sounds AMAZING! .... if a little louder than I was expecting (nothing wrong with that) Next .... Springs, Plenum, and a visit to Horsham Dev for Remap ..... ..... Now, would you please stop RAINING!! Grrrr
  8. :doh: :doh: of course!!! - I think the wife has switched the coffee to decaf!
  9. took me a while to find one, but they do exist! You can buy them brand new (ouch!) or could check out the breakers ... http://www.hills-motors.co.uk/breakers/nissan/350Z https://www.1stchoice.co.uk/ They can also be reconditoned ...
  10. Nice, can't beat a nice Red Zed!
  11. Just removed from my JDM - 3 in V good condition, 1 (front) curbed... Fiited with Goodyear tyres, all four are near enough brand new. £150.00 collected .... (Farnborough, Hants) PM if you want more pic's Cheers Justin
  12. Added 25/20mm spacers from Tarmac .. She looks great! - Next week the Cobra catback goes on together with new (newer/not damaged) headlights and finally, the replacement passenger window motor... Although that's a "Friday 13th" ... I can't wait... Question: Do I need to make any additional adjustments or are the wheels/spacers a straight swap and play!? .... She feels as planted as ever, possibly the ride a little harder ... but, she seems to slide out easier than she did (Wheels were supplied with MPSS <1500miles left) - I'm thinking I need more tread, but just in case I should be changing some settings as well .... best ask the experts! Any advice gratefully recieved..... thanks Justin (DE, Base Model, JDM)
  13. Wish I could try, Wife insists on using the garage as a Gym - massive cross trainer and exer bike .. and then goes to paid one instead!!!!! So mine lives on the drive ... for now, but I'm scheming!!
  14. Bugger .. Thirds! ..Hmm that ryhmes with something!
  15. Mine does this, it's fine when it's warm (summer not engine!) - but cooler days and she's caught me a few times - funniest though when I dropped her into one of those "hand car wash and wax" places Said to the guys, watch the boot - it will close on you ..... 10mins later, large Polish dude complaining he got thumped in the back of the head! - I felt for him, but I was pretty clear, arm movements the lot!
  16. V sorry to read this, though I didn't know him - it's clear that he touched a lot of peoples hearts. Our condolonces to his family and friends. RIP

    Finally .....

    Have you priced up lowering springs+fitting vs coilovers+fitting? Coilovers aren't that expensive and will perform much better than OEM + lowering springs. If you're thinking of doing it in future there's little point in paying the fitting twice if you know what I mean. Sound advice, thanks ..... performace wise, I can not grumble about the way she handles on OEM - as not my daily (C270CDI is) I find when I drive her, she just amazes me everytime - my thoughts were therfore, cheaper cosmetic / visual stance over improved handle, as long as lowering doesnt impair of course! - fitting isn't an issue /cost as will do it with a couple of pals (who have relevant equip!) .... however, noob I am and advice I will accept - if better to hold off for adjustable coilover / might just do that. BUT if she handles better, I'll go faster ... which means, I'll need to get the brembo brake calipers quicker (on wish required list) ... See what you're doing to me !!!!! hahahahah ..stop that!!! just occured to me that I heard/read - I will need to change out droplinks if lowering? (>adjustable) - is that regardless of spring or coilover? Cheers J
  21. not naff .. CD can skip (so i;ve read) ..zero issue if you're a radio person! I see the original stereo unmessed with much more appealing than perhaps the unit that was fitted in mine when I got it (and the wiring mess someone had left for me!) and whilst I also love listening to music, I rarely have music playing as I like to hear the car, probably because my daily is an oil burner and I always have music up in that! - but V6 3.5 is an addictive sound track
