  1. Nothing new to report with the 350z. Serviced at start of the summer and running well. Will be treated to tires next summer I think and it’s getting to enjoy last few sunny days before being sorned for winter. jobs for winter dye the headliner black rear indicator bulbs to silvertec few more photos from various meets this summer as always thanks for reading
  2. Was snapped leaving cars n coffee other evening 7yrs in and still love this thing
  3. Quick update here last month I changed over the pcv valve. No visible damage/clogging etc but I’m sure it was the original one so no harm changing it another cosmetic change was removing the old badly corroded wheel nuts and replacing them with Tarmac Sportz titanium ones nice n light and also tie in with the titanium exhaust lol some photos of before and afters bear in mind the old wheel nuts where less than 3yr old and not really driven in salt and winter etc
  4. aw awesome. The zeds are still a pretty rare beast here in Northern Ireland and even more so in the south. you will be a bright yellow zed in a sea of is200, twincams (ae86’s to rest of the world) and diesel vags. If you are about Belfast I’ll keep an eye out for your car lol. I’ve my zed out most days in the summer
  5. Have you been to the Donegal rally before?? bring spare tires 😂 thanks yeah super pleased with headlights. Have them also booked in to be lacquered
  6. am I right in thinking for a rev-up, its just transfer over the ballasts/seals and away you go?
  7. Yup that’s exactly what I did. Then added silvertec indicator bulbs
  8. What a job…. For a long time the headlights had been really bothering me on the zed. Typically Japanese yellowing but also I could see a clear tab inside the light that helps disperse light had also went yellow causing the entire unit to look poorly. It really aged the car in my opinion So to take the headlights out, the bumper needs to come off, which involves taking out approximately 1000 10mm bolts. Also to access around 1/2 the 10mm bolts both wheels and arch liners needed to come out too. Then headlights come out and whilst also removing approx 3mm of flesh from each knuckle Then headlights into oven for 7minutes at 100 degrees and then split. All to remove the yellowing tab. Then reverse the process inc adding silvertec bulbs etc. Polish to finish very happy with the results and freshened front end up nicely. tomorrow I’m wrapping them in a clear uv film to keep them minty clear etc
  9. its literally like thunder on cold start lol
  10. Well show season is upon us. few photos I’ve taken recently in prep and also for show applications
  11. Welp a fortnight in and im loving the recaros and Coolerworx. The shifter is ‘just’ on the side of useable fast road/track car. Any shorter/stiffer it wouldn’t work except on the track. Love how it’s looking though
  12. Big morning today The seats arrived 2 weeks ago and quickly got shipped to my house with the custom low slider rails. Anyone who has ever tried to fit a sliding rail option to a zed for an aftermarket seat always comments how difficult it is to get the seat low and sliding. Jdmdistro offered a custom low slider rail option from Japan and honeslty it was an oem bolt in style installation. Sits slightly lower than oem and slider is easy to use but seriously if you are needing an aftermarket base mount option for rails then really consider the Jdmdistro guys. the fit of the rails could not have been more perfect inc all new hardware etc also using the guide on here did the resistor mod for the seat airbags. No reset etc required so total win. had them professionally steam cleaned before installation and they came up like new few photos
  13. Updates coming thick n fast fitted my new Coolerworx shifter kit today. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES!!!! went oem+ look rather than usual exposer mechanism etc
  14. jdmdistro who imported them mate offer a bespoke custom service where you can get ultra low sliders made for different cars. they are made in Japan with the seats
  15. welp 2 months turned into 4 months lol but they are finally here!! Currently in a dpd van coming from jdmdistro to my door with custom low rails. seats are in perfect order in terms of cloth, need a decent clean, but no rips or tears, and I have a bolster kit sitting in my eBay basket if needed lol have also fitted a coolerworx shifter kit (will get photos this weekend) and what a difference that makes lol!! Proper clunk when you shift and it's very much shortened the throw. Only thing I a doing is relocation the hazard switch. I will be keeping the oem hazard switch in its usual spot, but due to clearance issues, you can't have the plug in the back. So I have got a DE hazard switch and plan to extend the loom and have that switch hidden somewhere so, I still have hazards if needed without a big hole in the dash or cutting anything up too badly
  16. welcome! ice to see another Northern Irish Zed on the forum. I'm in the middle of deciding what to do with my headlights currently too. Ive a rev up so slightly different headlights, but equally faded and they also have a little plastic piece in the unit itself that yellows too lol

  21. Aw worth a shot. I managed to pick one up through Black Friday sales on their site. can you give me any first hand insight into them? Make a nice difference etc? Thx
  22. don't suppose you ever had more of these sitting about?
