forget decats youll need a port and polish on the head and a set on long headers to sound close they spent more money on how it sounded than they did setting it up to drive properly lived with a bloke who worked on the engine development and they tried about a 100 different exhaust combos ie headers(exhaust manifold) hfc , mid pipes and back box getting it to sound great was easy getting it to pass the euro tests and still sound good thats where the money went

i seen this the other day while browsing around looks good but only prototype atm and usdm so would need to see if it would work over here but it definitely looks the business

always a good plan to do a recky of the route just before we all go out to see any police traps or other hazards out there tree/debris that sort of thing also good to have an idea of route before leading a convoy. be my first time out this way so ill have no idea were we are

but used to go out on bikes alot and these were always done before we went off as a group

i would be up for this aswell

try going past on a motorbike

there an answer to that

i searched 350z alcantara dash in images as im sure id seen a few of the cluster tops done before in it so thought it would give you an idea.

wouldn't like the idea of having cardboard on my dash even if covered its a potential fire hazard but you could coat it in cheap pva clue thatll give it some strength like the old mask molds you make as a kid cover the balloon in paper dipped in it then pop the balloon same principal here just over the cardboard.

dont think theres anyway not to be sanding anything down as ull need a good serface for the leather/material to go over

got me looking into doing this now though

quick google i know this is for the 370 but shudnt be too hard to mod the top of a 350 cluster

it was being in a car with a women driving at high speeds id be sick too

if i was doing it id make a mock up in cardboard cover it in clingfilm and start layering fiberglass patches and resin build a few layers up and let it set remove the cardboard and use body filler and hardner over it and smooth off with sand paper quick primer then cover in what ever you want

looks nice there. those wheels go for a pretty pennie if you want to change them can pick some refurbed rays up for 500 and flog these and make around 1k for other mods

this looks like its going to be fun 3 years in the making.

reckon itll be running at japfest?

The hood is a right PITA with the groves and curves I did my own but it's not great and needs redoing tbh some people find it easier than others but there is definitely a skill to wrapping and they are worth paying for someone to do. 300 isn't a bad price when your looking at 2-3 hours labour for 2 people and the materials

this builds coming on very nicely. your doing well with your little experience of modding you've now done more than a lot of the people on here.

well done on just giving things ago.

also i see your like to add all this late at night when most are sleeping haha i just added a load on my build too

look forward to seeing what else you get up to next

next up try and get into my mates garage this week to wrap the rear wings then onto the doors and the roof sills

pay days shopping list is a nrg short boss so i can get my wheel on

some steering fluid as messing with the car lock to lock has seemed to burnt some off and got lights on dash now (there just on min levels once warm hovers over min line but esp and skid lights come on front brakes come on then let off and all then drives like normal. read up that it just the sensor reading it low)

may also look out for some nismo side skirts

now im off to bed before i think of something else to wrap or buy

right enought wrapping for now

onto some bits for the inside finally getting rid of that tan/orange/dogpoo/vinderloo colour

bits of the O/H for mas

so naturally she didnt think/know that i needed a boss and new knobs to fit these so i got busy on the old ebay and order my self a cheap china boss and a knock off sparco quick release and a proper set of sparco knobs and pedal set

right the china boss was just plain rubbish wouldn't of fitted unless you removed all of the steering assembly including the indicator sticks and unit they attach to but at 15 wasn't to fussed but ended up with a full refund and didn't have to return item as it wasn't fit for its advertised car

as for the knock off sparco snap off looks the business 2 solid bits of aluminum and a good mechanism and solid lock so that was a steel at only £15

the sparco knob and pedal set took a little longer due to a paypal issue so only got these today

so fitted these with the gaiters i got at xmas

now next up the rear bumper now this was a right PITA i tried doing it all on my own and its awful but im going to put it up here to show that im no pro and lots of mistakes are happening. not happy with it by any mean and will be redoing it when help is available but for now its on the car like it is .

after a few hours taking it off and cleaning it to within an inch of its life (it was filthy and lots of double sided tape for number plate) i began

so anyway was really annoyed at it but was too late and i needed the car the next morning

so on it went as it looks good from a distance but up close loads of error and even a very bad slice of L/H side as i some how ended with to much material

so please be gentle as i know its a bad job but it is my first wrapping and it is also coloured carbon fibre texured material which if you ask anyone is a right PITA to work with

now the side skirts

getting pretty good at removing these now been on and off about 10 times so when i get my new ones itll be a dodle

time for a shower to get it nice and clean

then it turn into this
