Not yet no, I was/am waiting for some photos to be sent over by somebody, but that was a week+ ago... Could you send photos of each wheel over to me? Along with a price, location etc. Thanks!

Hi Chris will sort today, have been away for a couple of days

X-Tech BU585 version fitted fine, not quite as bright as originals but not bad, looks like I've got a spare of BU582s then , there was no way these would fit at all.

Just bought some too and can't get them in at all, we ordered the BU582 version as I found a pic on here of them as fitted another member but they seem to have a slightly bigger lug on one side, having done some comparing of pictures online and checking on some websites the BU 585 version looks as tho it will fit , found people having similar issues on one of the Honda forums too, couldn't find the Silvatech in 585 so ordered some others from HIDS direct Xtech , just arrived this morning so I'll let you know how I get one once to stops raining!

Could just be luck of the draw on how well they're made I suppose,some of the ones there are Ebay links for on here say both 585 and 582 as equivalents , not really sure if there should b any difference but looks like it comparing the ones I have here, am sure someone will put me right if there isn't !

Got some Rays,about to get ready for sale, Mchelin Pilot Sports rears got some life in them fronts ok but slightly uneven wear, no real curbing but slight bubbling on the lacquer, about to photograph so if your interested I can send pics

Cheers

Hi

Did you get sorted?

Have a set in pretty good nick, no real curbing but slight bubbling on the lacquer , rear tyres not too bad fronts so so Michelin Pilot Sports, just removed from O4 model have the nuts as well, will be taking pics ready for sale shortly so can mail em if of interest/deal not done!

Cheers

I said as much, think he was just blagging it !

Thanks Kyle, that's the conclusion I'd come to, guy was apologetic and mentioned his was a Nismo car ! anyway all sorted and he's having the backbox back so all good.

Cheers to all for info too

I saw one for sale a couple of months ago in grey, very similar to Skoda meteor grey or Audi Nardo Grey , looked great with black wheels !

Thank you, thought that was the case will need part MSNI102 by the looks of it!

hindsight and all that, guy had a good seller rating and said direct bolt on replacement so I had no reason to doubt him !

Thanks for the info that was the conclusion I'd come to , my local power flow guys not bad they made me a custom system for my old VW t25 which had a Subaru Legacy 2.5 in it and it came out well.

Thanks

From what I could find online it looked as tho the cats were different and possibly the Y pipe but other than as you say the heat shield issue the looks like a back box is a back box !

Faint whiff of BS from the seller methinks!

Hi

Sorry if this should have been in technical, still finding my way around the forum!

I did do a search too but couldn't find a similar query!

Just bought a second hand Milltek back box as was advertised as direct bolt on replacement, obviously it is not as looking at it the exit /entry pipe is in the centre of the box and the standard pipe curves around from the side and so points the other way!

I've noticed this is the case with many of the aftermarket systems and so makes sense that most are sold as either cat back or Y back.

I can't having done some research online find that Milltek have sold just the back box (which would make sense as it won't fit onto standard mid pipe) but the guy I bought off insists that he had it bolted on directly to his standard system and is saying that it probably won't fit my car as it is DE and his is HR (not mentioned in the ad either) having done more research online and looking at nissan part numbers for the back box I can't see that there was ever any difference between DE and HR back boxes ?

Am I correct?

Any help much appreciated as I don't want to argue the case on this point if I'am wrong !

Advert was not correct so I can send back by opening a case etc

Thanks in advance for any help on the technical bit

Cheers

If only the rears were 265's I would have snatched these.

Milltek back box arrived , in pretty good nick too , good for the price , and the front tyres too, house looks like a workshop now !

Zedrock it's hard to tell what those alloys look like I'm sorry as the pictures are so small.

 

Have you tried using Photobucket?, ..as I've found that to be the best way of putting pictures on the forum.

Guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...s-to-the-forum/

 

Thanks for the tip Photobucket engaged !

what size tyres?

Would be better if you used photobucket as your photos are too small.

After finding the magnifying glass I see the upgrade are the black ones ... Silly me

Nice wheels though buddy and even better you don't have to run spacers

JR3s?

Yes JR3 9" offset 15 front 10" offset 25 rears.

Just got the new wheels and tyres on today and the wider rims def fill the arches out better, no spacers required and no brake clearance problems after a bit of advice from Tarmac thanks.

New wheels and tyres on fill out the arches a bit better and no spacers required !
