Hi. Welcome from Chepstow/Forrest of Dean.

ooh thanks, i was tempted with with new pulleys, but mainly cause mine where rusty! lol ive already done the redundant idler pulley removal. I'm away with work this week, but i'll get a picture of the exhaust this weekend. nik

Dont think it really matters with the handbrake ones. For the main pads i use genuine Brembo ones, they fit perfectly and seem to perform well.

Really nice to see the progress. Im just starting mine! Quick question, does the door still work on tbe dash to cover the android head unit? Im considering something similar. Thanks Nik

Thanks, yeah im avoiding cat changes! If i can get the basics done pre tune, ill probably leave it there in terms of engine mods. Should have mentioned, full service done. First thing i always do. Years of racing bikes has me dropping oil and plugs probably a bit more often than needed!

From all the searching ive done the general concensus is that even with those mods the tune would be "worth it" and noticeable, but also happy to hear comments on if you think its a good idea. 👍

Hi So been foing some work to the z, snd its passed its MOT (yey). Im thinking about going for the UpRev tuning, probably through Horsham Developments. Now its an old car (2004 DE) so not looking to overstress it or to try and get some crazy hp, but faster throttle response etc would be nice. Just a general tune really. Engine mods so far are: Cat back exhaust (no idea what make) 5/16 plenum spacer Velocity stack on oem airbox (basically a diy version of the later air box) Panel filter Are there any other "basic" mods youd recommend/worth doing before the UpRev tune? Let me know Thanks Nik

That looks way more likely!

Dont know how accurate this is: https://www.carlogbook.co.uk/nissan/350z/#:~:text=These stats won't show,UK vehicles are NISSAN 350Z. But wow!

Hi all. Took a punt on a set if these as they were only £23 in plain black. JINGLINGKJ Hood Struts for 350Z Fairlady Z Z33 2003-2008 Front Bonnet Gas Dampers Lift Supports Modify No Drilling TWO YEARS WARRANTY https://amzn.eu/d/8LgJtzd Gotta say, well impressed. Fitted in minutes, reasonable quality, and bonkers cheap. Plain black looks OEM too. Anyone thinking of putting bonnet struts on, i definitely recommend so much easier when checking things, filling fluids etc. Nik

Yey!! MOT passed. Onto the bodywork...

Thanks, I'm based in the Forrest of Dean. I'll have a look at meets definitely. I used to love going to them back in the day. I used to be a member and moderator sor SOX about 20 years ago! Even did japfest with my old CRX!

Thanks Everyone!

Thinking of refurbing the wheels in a satin black, black door handles and badges. And trying to decide if revup tune is worth it. Just ordered a throttle controller (i know they dont 'do' anything but i want it for the eco mode only) Nik

Hi Its fairly standard, well was until about 3 weeks ago. Failed MOT on a rusty brake pipe, but when i went to change it i wasnt happy with lots of stuff so now has: Full set of Tein shocks front and rear with lowering springs. Ultra racing front lower brace Ultra racing rear W brace Braded brake lines New sway bars front and rear with poly bushes. 5/16 plenum spacer Velocity stack in airbox and panel filter 20mm/25mm wheel spacers Grams front lip (not fitted yet) Want to keep it looking standard ish. Needs some TLC on the body work, thats the next job after the MOT.

Thanks everyone! And Coz@Torqen, dont know if its you ive been chatting with but if so thanks for all your help and quick dispatch!

Hi All just wanted to say hello Owned my 350 for about 5 years now, last 2 years its been off the road and I'm just getting it all sorted again. (hopefully it will pass its MOT on Thursday!) Got tons of tips from the forum so thought id say thanks. used to be a member of a few car clubs years ago so I know how valuable they are. Looking forward to hopefully getting to meet some of you. thanks Nik

Hi all. I'm in Oxfordshire at the moment but also spend time in Liverpool. New headunit went in a treat thanks to the how too's on here. How on earth does something as pants as the Bose weigh so much!!! Lol. Speakers will be next to go. Just got a garmin nuvi 55 which fits perfectly in the cubby hole too. It's all very exciting. Lol

Hi, Just picked up me 04 Orange 350z. LOVE it so far (apart from the ridiculous bose set-up, but that's coming out tonight!) Looking forward to chatting. thanks Nik

hi all, anyone know if these are still available? thanks nik
