Apologies for the delay in replying chaps, my trusty phone did a stellar job of not giving me any notifications at all haha! I've been um-ing and arr-ing of whether to go for the gloss black handles or not, I've seen it on some Zeds and I think it looks good, but I'm not certain on mine. I quite like the way the silver breaks the colours up abit, especially as the wheels are dark aswell.. Guess I could always grab a tin of plastidip and some of that glossifier and get a rough idea of what It'd look like haha! Spoiler is a good shout aswell, the Z shopping list continues to grow! Thanks Payco, been looking at 19" options for some time now and am struggling to set my mind on some.. Got abit of a soft spot for the ES1s but think I'd need to be abit lower to pull them off, so coilovers are next on the list I think! Thank you bud! It was one of those tricky situations where I wasn't too sure how it was going to come out, but luckily enough the 350s seem to be very forgiving for most mods! Thank you! It's quite funny you should say that actually, because I found as soon as I got my Zed, I thought it was lacking something on the front haha! Know completely where you're coming from though, as the fronts of our cars are quite 'flat' so the lip does look abit more pronounced. When I received the lip unpainted, we did a test fit and I had abit of a uncertainty in my gut whether I was going to like it or not once I got it back from the bodyshop, but I'm happy with the outcome.. I would have been abit screwed however if I didn't like it, as its completely bonded and blended into the front bumper hahaha Really appreciate it, thank you! It's unfortunately not for sale, but apologies for creating a dilemma for you! Hope you're still getting along with your azure Zed? I think a gloss black and blue colour theme with yours would still look great! The colour of mine is 'Twilight Grey' I believe, and the colour code is 'K51'. My roof is just wrapped gloss black, Monsterwraps in Southampton did it and did an absolutely amazing job, it's about a 2.5 - 3 hour drive from where I live but is 100% worth it. Next on my list is coilovers and wheels, but that's when I've finally made my mind up and funds allow haha!

Primarily to improve the handling to be honest, I'd only be looking to lower the height by 20-30mm which I believe almost all coilovers cover anyway, but that's really only an added bonus, my main priority is to improve the handling. I do use the car daily but it's only a short journey to work, so even if the ride was on the harsh side I'd be able to live with it. But don't get me started on road conditions and how appallingly they are repaired these days! Hahaha. I'll be sure to have a search and see what people's reviews are, can't get better feedback than someone who's having to live with them day to day!

So you don't need another private reg then as you've already got a decent private plate anyway (that's free advice btw ). £768.80 Will get you these coilovers fyi: http://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension/coilovers/1652-350z-torqen-s-coilovers-trqz33s.html A piece of plastic or some coilovers.. Hmm, I must say, I can see where you're coming from Just add your advice charges to my account, I'm sure some other bad decisions will follow soon which I'll need help with! Haha! Have been looking at those funnily enough, I know the KWs are a popular choice aswell, as are the Meister Rs. Need to sift through some posts and see what the pros and cons are of each, I'm sure for what I'm after which is just road use any of them would be fine though.

Know exactly what you mean! Coilovers are the next thing on my list to do, and for that price you're almost at a decent set if you add abit of cash on top (I still need to do abit of research into them however!). Think it's because I've had the day off work today and my mind has been in 'what can I get for the Z next' mode haha! I have a private plate on already (T19 CCW), which although it wasn't expensive, has my age when I got the plate and the Z, and also my initials at the end, so like you say is pretty much future proof. Think I need a financial advisor.. Maybe that's why I'm constantly skint.. Hmmm..

The plot thickens! This one is brilliant but rather pricey, would look great on a Z though!

Haha that's brilliant, what a lad! I'd imagine you were sitting in your car trying to keep cool, when in reality you looked like this: Edit: I'll stop posting now, don't want to clutter this pic thread with lots of text, sorry OP!

Fingers crossed it works, otherwise back to the drawing board haha!

What a truly awesome moment! That's so cool! Absolutely chuffed to bits to be honest so proud of my boys â˜ºï¸ Sent from my iPhone using hammer and chisel! I can imagine, quite rightly too. One of those moments that'll stay with you both forever! With cars being such a big part of prom these days, you must have been over the moon when he asked you to take him. Not surprised obviously, as we all know the Zeds are the coolest cars about

Just found this private plate online, I know it's abit cheesy but it's quite quirky and because my Z was an 09 plate originally, could in theory rock this plate.. What do you think?

What a truly awesome moment! That's so cool!

Thanks bud! I'm possibly thinking about changing them soon to some Varrstoen ES1s as I'm going to need a set of tyres for these. The ES1s are one of my favourite dished wheels for the 350s, but I have grown a little attached to these! haha.

Bit of an old article, but theres a how-to guide showing how to block and allow websites through your Antivirus. http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-block-internet-address-sep-manager-firewall-rule

Have you tried using Chrome aswell? That's all I use on my phone and on my computer and haven't had any issues. It is really weird that it would come up with the Web page can't be displayed, is it happening on any other sites aswell? Almost sounds like your Internet is dropping out momentarily, but if it's consistently happening on the same topics it can't be, very weird! EDIT: Looking on the Symantec website, that error you posted is your Antivirus trying to protect your device as it thinks theres some harmful content on the website. I'd presume you can allow specific websites through or tell it that the current website is a false flag, may be worth looking into your Web Shield settings! https://www.symantec.com/security_response/attacksignatures/detail.jsp?asid=26707

Thank you bud, appreciate it! Got 25mm on the backs, and 20mm on the fronts, here's some before and afters to show the difference, makes the car look so much better and the wheels sit where they should have done from the factory! Before spacers rear: After spacers rear: Before front and rear spacers: After front and rear spacers (and a quick clean haha):

I am abit of a sucker for the grey Zeds! I do love black Zeds too though, but after previously having a black car and how awkward it was to wash in the summer with the paint being the temperature of the sun, and showing any swirls regardless of how careful you wash it, decided to go for the grey route haha! Black cars do look stunning when clean though! Thank you! It really does transform the car, especially the lip. Would be interesting to see what the lip and sides would look like in body colour.. I was looking at the chargespeed rear actually, probably my favourite rear for the 350, possibly in the near future! haha

Hi Jon, If you click the 'Follow this topic' button at the top of the screen on the right hand side, you can chose to get a notification each time someone replies on a topic you've posted on, hope this helps abit! Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

It does make you wonder! I've read online that it's possible to compound and polish vinyl wrap with a DA just like paintwork albeit you have to be abit more careful in some circumstances. But maybe it does have something to do with rainwater being on the vinyl wrap and then evaporating when the sun comes out, who knows! Haha!

No problem at all, if the mark does decide to reappear I'm more than happy to send you some of the S20 I have to see if it helps, like I say I've got so much of it I'll never use the whole container haha! It's funny you should say that the mark dissappeared, as just recently my brothers car had some dirty water marks on his roof and the sun decided to come out and they weren't wanting to come out with a normal wash. The next morning he had dew all over the roof as it was a reasonably chilly night, and once it got to mid-day the sun came out and evaporated the dew, the marks had gone completely - so what you said about the rain lifting it could well be true! We were stumped when we came to it the next day, very weird.. Either that or you unknowingly made a hybrid solution of snow foam and triple concentrated shampoo which dissolves marks on the spot but is still safe for vinyl haha! If so, bottle it up and get it on the shelves asap!

I personally don't really have too much of an issue with how long these things take, as long as it's done correctly and to a high standard.. I don't think the OP does either (correct me if I'm wrong OP haha!) I think in this situation it was more of a case of it taking longer than quoted, and wasn't communicated correctly (if at all) which is why he's abit disappointed with the service provided.

My brother and I have both got our roofs wrapped in vinyl. He had some pretty nasty marks where some bird had decided to deposit its insides over his car, and because he was at work he was unable to clean it off until he got home, by which time it'd etched itself into the vinyl, similar to the photo you posted. We used some Meguiars Ultimate Compound by hand and majority of the marks came out, but using Scholl S20 Black removed the marks completely and removed any swirl marks from the wrap too, definitely worth giving it a go! You can get it from CleanYourCar here: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/car-polish-compounds/scholl-s20-black-1-step-compound/prod_1548.html But that's in a 1KG bottle which I have, and can honestly say I'll probably be 6ft under before I get to the bottom of it! You may be able to get smaller amounts from elsewhere! Good luck!

Thought I'd throw my twopence into this topic, them wheels on that black 350 are indeed GT4 wheels, same as what I've got on mine. Theres usually a few sets popping up here and there, and aren't awfully expensive either, hopefully some will come up soon for you! Good luck with your search.

+1 for wedging a tool in the rotor haha, worked a treat when torquing mine up!

Got the motordyne tdx2 on mine, I have the ART pipes aswell but you would still get a sweet sound with zero drone without them. Definitely worth trying to hear some systems in the flesh as nearly all cameras struggle to pick up on the true sound! Good luck with your search and be sure to share what you end up getting!

The place that fitted my TDX2 and ART pipes took around 4 hours to fit it. One of those tricky situations to say how long it 'should' have taken, as everyone has had such different experiences with how the old system came off. Definitely worth a phone call to discuss what you were originally quoted for and ended up paying though, they may be able to compromise and meet you in the middle. Hope you get it sorted!
