This sounds like a great idea, but you lost me at Diode and Series, i'm probably being stupid, but any chance you could provide a diagram or guide to illustrate?

I'm after DBA T2 disks and Ferodo pads. For the front. Best price/place to buy? Also is it worth installing braided brake lines? Is it easy to change to braided or will the whole fluid need flushing etc Thanks in advanced

No worries mate, Welcome along and good luck on your search and project

9k will get you the Ginger Ninja, great Bang for Buck buy! Loads spent on it, including everything you mentioned. Sound system too. If I had 9k and looking for a Zed that's where I would go. http://ebay.to/1VwCaY0

Cool thanks! So what colour wire is the Fog one then that I need to splice into? Thinking just to do this on the right side, as that's where the wire is I imagine. The fog light on the car I don't have clue, it will be on the right hand side indicator connector. There should be a wire in the right loom that is different from the left loom, try using a multimeter to figure out which is which. Sent from my potato using duct tape Fair enough, if a wire is there on the right side that's not there on left I will try that, otherwise I'm just gonna run them both with the brakes, and get my mate up north to do my MOT's from now on haha

Got a mate mechanic who would pass MOT for me regardless of the Fog light, but his garage is all the way up north in my hometown!

So the car wouldn't pass MOT with these bulbs due to missing Fog?

Guide looks way over my head! I got the tools though, anyone near Reading can help me with installation? I'll pay for your time

I like it did you get those decals custom made?

Nothing wrong with buying private, you can get a good deal and a good car, all MOT history is online now anyway so you know the cars condition

Good on ya to bring her back. However it's these sort of stories that worry me and make me think I should take out a 3rd party warranty, would your rebuild have been covered under a warranty if u had one? Anyone recomend a good warranty company?

Not a fan of the look of the car, it is very vauhaully. My friend has been in one and he said it was a lots of fun, tons of power as you would expect from a 6.0l V8, sounds great too. Not sure how it handles, check out youtube for video reviews and the vauhaull forum

For those that have an aftermarket head unit with digital time correction functionality here are the settings for zed to achieve proper sound stage. This will improve your sound quality no end and will also remove harsh noise, making your music pleasant and enjoyable. Note: Everything written here is for a Right Hand Drive Zed. 1) Calculations: Step 1: Distances from your head to the various speakers: FL = 46" FR = 30" Driver RL = 38" RR = 18" Step 2: Then calculate the difference in distance of each speaker from the farthest speaker, which is FL. This will give the numbers we input into the head unit. FL = 0" FR = 16" Driver RL = 8" RR = 28" 2) Input into your head unit: On Alpine head units: -Go into Setting/Audio/Time Correction Parameter and Set it to Inches. -Then go into Setting/Audio/Time Correction and input the numbers from above for each speaker. The alpine head unit will then automatically calculate and apply the correct time delay (in milliseconds) to each speaker. Other head unit's: -Here are the actual numbers in milliseconds: FL = 0ms (no delay) FR = 1.2ms delay Driver RL = 0.6ms delay RR = 2.1ms delay N.B. You may feel like your sub-woofer lags behind the rest of the system, this is because it is in the rear and sound waves have a longer travel time. If your front speakers beat isn't in sync with your subwoofers thump then you need to add additional time delay equally to all speakers (The front four, not the sub-woofer it's self) start with 1ms then go from there. And finally change sub-woofer phase back and forth and pick the one that sounds best (complete sounding, usually the one that gives more bass.) 3) Adjust Fader This final step is very important for front sound stage, even more so for a 350z because of its rear speaker locations and facing direction. Even if you don't have time correction settings, all head unit's come with a Fader. -Turn the rear speakers on full with the fade control. Listen to the rear speakers, and then slowly turn the fade up in the front speakers just until you can't tell the rear speakers are playing anymore, then ease off a tad. You're probably close to optimum setting when the front staging is such that the rear speakers provide little more than ambiance and space to the sound. You shouldn't be able to clearly localize audio as coming from the rear. For me on my alpine head unit this is set forward on level 4 (out of 15). The End. You should now have a proper front sound stage as if the band is playing on your dash in front of you. Hope this information helps, let me know your results. N.B If you haven't achieved the above then try the following. - Play with the spatial features if your head unit has one (Front Wide) use the option that sounds best. - Although measuring is a great starting point, sometimes you need to tweak by ear for the best results, to do this: Play a song you a very familiar with (ideally rock genre) Set Fader and balance to front left then add time delay to front left speaker until this speakers beats are in sync with sub-woofers thump. Set fader and balance to front middle, add time delay to your front right speaker until you have the desired front sound stage (right should logically have more delay then the left). Closing your eyes as you increase the time delay helps. Centred vocals with instruments spaced out left to right is what you want, as if you are at a concert and the lead singer, kick and snare drum are directly in front of you with the rest of the instruments (guitars, cymbals, hi-hat) spread across the stage in their relative positions. Set Fader and balance back to centre (default position) then add time delay to the rear speakers until front sound stage from previous step is restored (rear speakers will end up having the most delay, especially rear right).

When i had my new sound system installed, i would notice the airbag warning light would come on and stay on if i put my volume really high, maybe the bass from the door speakers was causing this i dont know. After a couple resets using the key method (on youtube) the airbag light hasnt returned since, even if i crank up the volume.

I have the ESK 165L.5 in the front and the HSK coaxial in the rears (all four speaker powered of Hertz amp delivering 60w to each channel) with JL Microsub in the boot (active) and Alpine CDE-178-bt Head unit. The Speaker sound great, just make sure to point the tweeters in the right direction and set your fader towards the front to avoid harsh treble sound.

You need a itemised purchase reciept showing the Tyre, size and qty you bought. I'm not sure about anywhere as when I went to the michelin website after I had to state where I purchases them from, tyre barn was in their list, I'm not sure how extensive the list is. My advice is ask they place you are purchasing the Tyres from if they have the michelin offer on, if they know what you are talking about, your good to go.

Sweet! Good timing! Bargain

Cool, ill get Muteki then from Tarmac website.

There are 3 types of lugs: I'm fairly sure that all the 350Z Rays wheels have tapered lugs, although if in doubt ask Chris/Tarmac before buying. Thanks for the info, my ZED came with standard wheels non Rays but now I'm upgrading to the GT4 Wheels, does this play a factor, with the hub or anything? Sorry I'm very unknowledgable in this area.

So the consensus is that tapered nuts are fine on GT4 wheels? do they sell in the standard non tapered version? Dare i ask, what is the difference?

Will these be good for the GT4 wheels? it says on tarmac website: "Important Note: Muteki lug nuts are made with tapered bottoms specifically for aftermarket wheels. These are not for use on factory wheels!"
