Rays sold!

APS plenum looks spot on!

What about the single exit tarmac had for £350? Thought that was a really good price for a system!

Looking for a good priced carbon bonnet located somewhere down south/south east.

Or someone that will courier.

Could also chuck in my de gm bonnet, if its needed.

Ideally after a de/hr style bonnet.

Cheers

Hi Jamez87, would you consider selling the tyres separately?

 

If so, how much?

 

Cheers

Really sorry bud, it looks like someone is collecting the wheels on the weekend!

Any pictures of these fitted, just can't imagine where it goes? Google is no help!

Has this got the carbon cover?

If you have ever driven a car with sport mode, like a e46 m3 for example, then its just like that but you have more control over it.

Makes the car more responsive on throttle and you will feel like your going faster then you are, until your used to it.

Beneficial well I'm not sure, as you can just plant your foot harder i guess but it is a fun gimmick/toy. Though, setting off is a lot better!

Spacers sold.

Just some good condition rays left

nice car fella, will keep an eye on this one - good to meet you the other day (albeit briefly). Really need to get round to setting up my own build thread...

Cheers bud! Was loving the blue Z, don't be surprised if my next mod is a spoiler

Have a look at Grahams rims Glrnet. That's how you should have them looking.

I like that a lot and clearly stand out too, though I'm thinking more of a shadow chrome or hyper black.

Gemini with titanium tips for me! Perfect sound with the Berk decats!

Nice Porsche was the worst insult I have had.

Got exactly that the other day, from some kids.

Apart from one spotted that it wasn't a Porsche and they all laughed at me haha

Boil the kettle and poor that over the spoiler will help with the glue/tape too.

Good to know and nice one for putting your foot down with them!

Lip sold

Sorry should have said, yes its a de!

No longer for sale. Mods please delete/lock.

Thank you

For sale I have my OEM staggered rays. Condition I would describe as very good, with very very minimal curbing to 1 or 2 alloys. No buckles or flat spots and insides are good too with no corrosion or flaking. I'd still happily run these on my car.

They come with 4 michelin pilot super sport tyres, with loads of tread and you will stick to the road like glue! All weighted and ready to go.

Sold

4x 25mm spacers, only used since June. My honest opinion with the rays is that 25 all round works better then 20/25.

Sold

Carbon style bumper lip, to fit the inner lower part of the bumper. I know a lot of people like to paint that inner part of the bumper black, so this is a good solution. In very good condition but please remember this was on the bumper!

Sold

Located in Farnborough gu14.

Cheers

OK mate glwts ðŸ‘

Absolutely no chance of a courier? Otherwise id have that!

For code reading, you can get an obd2 Bluetooth adapter from eBay for about £5 and then download torque app if you have android.

It will read most faults on any car and give you a generic code that you just search for the answer.

I've sorted many issues with the app but at the very least it will point you in the right direction. The app can do much more too, like live data for example.

Most of all have fun with the car!

After simply Japanese I really got the itch for some different wheels. The rays are a great OEM wheel but aftermarket itch needed scratching now!

So after a bit of a google I picked up some linea corse dyna alloys from a forum member (also got to try out the boot space on the rav4).

They are 19s with a spot on offset for the z. I needed to pick up spigot rings and I also got some neo chrome nuts too.

I am undecided at the moment. Maybe its just a case of getting used to them. I think the actual wheel is great, so maybe its the colour. In direct sunlight they look great, loveley metallic flakes really pop out. So we shall see...I'm open to colour ideas!

So this is where I'm at for now. Next up I'll probably be lowering the front a tiny bit and if I keep the wheels then I think I may add some 5mm eibach spacers all round.

With all the suspension and engine mods, the car drives absolutely spot on, I also like the fact there is a little more to this car then meets the eye.

Z ownership has been great, I always thought I'd really regret selling my m3, that was a dream car for me but in all honesty other then in a straight line the z blows the m3 (e46) away in every other aspect, in my opinion. Though I did like the rev matching SMG box a lot.

Hopefully now I can put some money away for the z and future updates will be bigger!!

So, now its no longer my daily, I want some more noise!

So first up was scrap the airbox idea and get an induction kit. The obvious choice was a cheap and cheerful pop charger but I've had my eye on the mishimoto kit for a while and its not something I've seen often on a z.

Quality looks spot on and I thought the heat shield was a slightly better design then the pop charger. I managed to get a good discount on the kit, so it worked out about £6 more then the pop charger delivered.

I still wanted some more noise though and some people may think what on earth I was doing but I swapped my art pipes for some Berk decats, this deal also included the induction kit.

This worked out for both of us. The arts pipes have really complimented my mates motordyne system and maybe slightly tamed the noise a bit, which I believe he was after. For me the decats have really opened up the noise of the invidia, it's given me noise at the high end that I was really lacking before, a bit deeper on idle and a lovely over run! The v6 has really come alive now and is probably just about spot on without being too loud or a pain on longer journey's.

This was all done just before simply Japanese, again it was another great meet with plenty of z' about. A nice relaxed atmosphere and all the owners were great!

So this was big news for me and something I'd been looking forward too for a while.

The z is finally no longer a daily for me!!!!!

We sold my miss' Toyota yaris to a family member and picked up something we are calling the battle horse.

The other half walks to work every day, so she no longer really needed a car. We decided to go halves on this rav4 so that she has something if she needs it but I get to use it most of the time. Its ideal for our dogs, long journeys and if we ever need to pick large items up etc and its bloody comfy!

Now means I can keep the z cleaner and maybe tuck away some extra money for some exciting mods in the future!
