  1. Have no idea what 'rim offset' means when it comes to spacers... a spacer is a spacer, rims have offsets but I cant see how a spacer can have an offset! Usual spacer sizes for 350z rays is 20mm front and 25mm rear. 25mm front and 30mm rear is a more aggressive look but can be done on stock suspension or a slight drop... If your lowered you will need to roll the arches... 30mm rear spacers + 30mm drop http://www.350z-uk.c...tted-with-pics/ 30mm rear spacers http://www.350z-uk.c...-the-rear-pics/ Couldn't find any examples for the fronts, hope that helps though
  2. Quick google and I found this on the US forum (post no.6) 114db with ART test pipes at 1m distance at WOT http://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/533556-decibel-level-of-motordyne-tdx-v2.html
  3. I don't know what the Motordyne with decats dB reading would be but I think the Ark Grip and Motordyne exhausts (no decats) are around the same dB (I could be wrong though) and Tarmac Sports states that the Ark Grip exhaust is around 88dB at 3000 revs... https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/nissan-350z-2003-08-3-5l-ark-grip-true-dual-exhaust-system-burnt-tip.html
  4. TBH £1500 is pretty reasonable! When I insured my 350z at 22 it cost me £1500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. As promised some better iphone photos after a nice clean
  6. When I was finishing the purchase I actually had the 18's and 19's in the basket... It was a tough choice but there seemed there was a lot more info about the 18's regarding tyres sizes and offsets...
  7. 25/11/2016 Rear G35 spats + Refurbed calipers w/ Stoptech SS braided lines + New wheels/tyres fitted So Ive had the spats for 3 months now, the wrappers couldnt wrap them with no paint (when I had the car wrapped), so had to wait for them to get painted by a friend, then had to wait to get them wrapped, but they are now all fitted Please ignore the dirty car, it was clean before I took it to my Dads workshop! Next was to (visually) refurb the calipers and then reinstall with Stoptech braided lines First thing was to remove the calipers + hoses from the car ready to be cleaned/keyed with various things ranging from brake cleaner + detailing brush, wire wool, various grades of sandpaper and finally a once over with scotch pad to key the surface ready for paint. Then important/vulnerable parts were masked such as the pistons/rubber boots, caliper mating faces, bleed nipples etc. and hung in front of a heater to warm the calipers ready for paint The calipers were then painted with a mixture concocted by my painter friend from high temp white with various automotive whites/off whites to give a slightly closer finish to the pearl wrap than the standard white would be, then finished with high temp black vinyl brembo stickers and a coat of lacquer. For those wondering what sizes the brembo decals are- Front: 80mm and Rear: 40mm The calipers were then reinstalled with stop tech brake lines thanks to Chris @ Tarmac Next was my favourite part to fit my new wheels/tyres to the car Decided to go for Falken 542 after seeing alot of positive reviews, sizes are Front: 255/40/18 Rear: 275/40/18 I was looking at 35 profiles but again after countless wheel/tyre threads and tyre calculations I decided to go for the 40's. Front Look how dirty she is Rear Looks like i may need to get some negative camber/camber arms for the rear Tomorrow she will be getting a full detail/wax ready to be tucked up for the winter! I will get some better pictures of the car/wheels tomorrow!
  8. 18/10/2016 New Wheels After getting the wrap, the wheels stuck out like a sore thumb so an order from Driftworks and these arrive As you can probably tell they are obviously Work wheels... After emailing Chris from Tarmac back and fourth about offsets for the Rota Torques and the JR11 having problems of not clearing some peoples brembos... I decided to put a bit more cash towards a set of WORK Emotion CR Kiwami in Matt Black. Sizes are Fronts: 18x9.5 ET20 and Rears: 18x10.5 ET15. Will get some better pictures when they are on the car. Although I didn't buy the wheels from Tarmac I have to give a big thank you to Chris for all the help regarding wheel options and offsets!
  9. You read my mind! Im going for a black/white engine bay theme
  10. 27/08/2016 Wrap and Tints Complete Car is finally back from being wrapped and here are the results! Gloss black badges, indicators and plates still need to be put back on.
  11. Always loved the PPW Z's. Got the car for a great price as well! Clicking rear axle is a simple fix to be honest, you can either re-grease the splines for a temporary fix OR apply some loctite to the splines for a more semi-permanent fix! Good luck with the mods!
  12. 15.08.2016 Vinyl Wrap/Tints and G35 rear spats Haven't updated this for a long time! Mostly because nothing has really happened... I purchased some G35 rear spats/guards from torqen, after removing the ribs from the inside (http://www.350z-uk.c...s/#entry1381851) I did a test fit and they look awesome! But the car has finally gone to have a full colour change wrap inc. door shuts, tints and stone chips repaired on the bonnet/lower grill area! Car should hopefully be done this week! The work is being done by Khazcustoms (Brentwood) as they are close to where I work so I can pop down during lunch and check on the progress! As for the colour, I have always loved the PPW Z's but they dont appear for sale very often! So the colour I chose was Avery Dennison Gloss Pearlescent White! This was a quick test to see how the wrap covers some of the larger stone chips, and from certain angles they stuck out like a sore thumb, so I decided to have them fixed before the wrap was applied! I cant wait to see the final result! However new wheels (and tyres) are now top of the list to properly compliment the car as the OEM wheels are not going to cut it! And I may also need lowering depending on the arch gap!
  13. +1 for the ark grip brilliant piece of kit and with a bumper tuck it looks quality! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. What colour are you after? Black or tan? As I have a tan one for sale just haven't listed it yet... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. I've used it after washing as a drying agent/water spot remover, also use it as it should a quick detailer and has done an excellent job! Smells lovely as well! I've only used megs so can't compare to others... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
