Still available if anyone wants some. Well worth the upgrade from the standard panel filters.

Yes buddy

Only a few months old, done around 5000 miles at most. As you can see basically brand new. Boxed. £80 delivered or collect for £75. Located down south Hants/Surrey way.

cheers

Yeh sorry chaps KyleR is right... to clarify 20/25mm spacers were fitted after Lake District trip. Don't think I've got any decent pics after actually but looks better in the arches and thankfully handling didn't seem to be effected. Agree lowering a smidge would be nice... we'll see :-)

Im in the market for a HR at the moment. How has yours been? Have you had any of the oil burning issues that seem to plague them?

No I haven't mate. Only done about 5k miles but all seems ok for me touch wood. Good luck on the hunt :-)

Are you local to Brands?

Not espec. Bout 50mins away near Farnham. Kind of inbetween Brands and Thruxton. But I'm often at Brands, do much of the race photography for them etc :-)

Nice mods so far and in the fastest great colour, in fact, have you got my car?

Cheers. Haha just been through your thread, some similarities. You have gone much further though :-)

The car looks really good mate, I love the aggressive look of the steering wheel, im thinking of getting one like that, also I don't think I've seen a zed with red seats yet, suits it well red and black interior.

 

Will you be going to Silverstone japfest this year?

Cheers Rob! I'd like to go yes, will have to see if it clashes with any motorsport as often at race tracks on weekend. Think there will be a Jap event at Snetterton too, will know more in couple of weeks.

Ref tray it is in shed lol. I put up on ebay as apparently might still worth a few quid. If it don't sell you're welcome to it.

More kudos here, not had chance to post but the guys sorted out Uprev remap on my 2008 HR on a Monday morning couple weeks before Christmas. Sound chaps, could clearly see they're used to handling our cars which is reassuring. The drive home certainly woke me up haha. Have a good year chaps, cheers!

Heyup guys, not really sure where to post this, wanted to try and get a bit more involved on here. Lurked around a bit, bought a few bits and bobs but not really had time to contribute post-wise so much. I'll try and change that this year :-)

So I've owned the car 6 months now, intentions were to keep it pretty original. Here's my "Hello I'm new here" post - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/110373-n00b-alert/ - I actually really liked the 350Z when it first came out, got the 350Z Scalextric over 10 years ago lol, so it's pretty cool to now be able to own the real thing.

Well I've kind of kept to my plan, but it's certainly a car that for some reason tempts me to get involved and do stuff to it lol.

Stuff I've done:

- K&N panel filters

- Stubby aerial

- Boot divider & cargo net

- Sound proofed the boot with Dynamat type stuff

- 20/25mm wheel spacers

- Black Rays wheel nuts

- Rear wiper delete

- Brodit Proclip phone mount

- Steering wheel re-trim

- Painted steering wheel controls

- Painted rear strut brace

- Metal undertray (replaced plastic original)

- Cobra resonated exhaust, high-flow cats, y-pipe

- Uprev remap at Horsham Developments (317bhp)

- Dashcam (A119)

Along with that I've done a few other small maintenance things, full service, changed the front wheel bearing hubs, droplinks to be done along with W brace.

Had a pretty awesome trip to Lake District towards end of last year. Weather was decent and the roads around there mega. Did Honister Pass and a couple other routes around there, all pretty relaxed but good fun. Great for pics too.

Here are a few snaps taken so far.

When I first got it - found some friends lol

Stripped the boot out and dynamatted - well worth doing, especially since I got the exhaust later

Painted rear strut

Can see rear wiper removed and bunged here

Cobra fitted

Steering wheel sorted - I especially like this, love the feel of alcantara :-)

Soz for pic overload!

Must say seems like a good time to get a 350Z in particular, so much performance and fun for the money. It's a solid car too, not much better around for the money. I looked at all sorts of options, but glad I chose this. Want to try and get along to a few meet ups this year. Before I got my Zed I noticed there was a bunch of 350's at the TunerFest meeting at Brands Hatch. Not sure if anyone on here was there, but here's my gallery - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/albums/19-06-2016-tunerfest-brands-hatch-photos/ - if you guys do a track day, especially at Brands do give me a shout!

Anyway enough for now. cheers Az

Hi chaps, can anyone help please?

In need of the "W" Brace under the car that seems to support the fuel tank. Mine seems to be heavily corroded and really needs to be replaced - I'm a 2008 HR if it matters for fitment. Had a search on here and seen few threads and seems to be a common rust point. Actually quite a few bits under the car could do with a wire brushing and coating so I will sort that all out at the same time I have her up on a ramp.

What's the best way to get this sorted? Over £200 from Datsun is a bit :-O Also going to need new bolts as well I think so any idea on size/length so I have everything I'll need?

cheers :-)

Hi matey I'm interested in taking these off your hands. Where did you actually buy them from, I'm just trying to find out the value but struggling, seems to vary massively on the searches I've done. Guess these will suit the standard Rays wheels. Any pics of your Z with them fitted?

Hi chaps. Random this hope some one can help. I bought a pair of front bearing hub assemblies on eBay, from A to Z in Wakefield, only £60 each so thought worth a punt (Nissan want over £300 for OEM!!)

Basically I can't get the studs to go through the disc/wheel, it seems like the PCD is very slightly off. Unusual though as they have sold many and say never had any problems and I have a pair that are both the same!! Is there a drawing anywhere confirming what the dimensions, PCD, stud length etc should be for the hub assembly. I'm 2008 HR but seems the assembly should be same for all models.

Help lol. cheers Az

Cheers. Still looking, only really need the plastic cover, ideally in grey. For 08 HR body.

Basically my right front headlight washer cover (the square bit) blew off last night when I activated the windscreen washers... not ideal!!!

Ideally like in gunmetal grey. Anybody got one or pair lieing around please?

Delete. Misunderstanding. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Taybo, you have a PM mate.

Hey chaps, looking for a standard steering wheel like in attached photo. The actual leather part doesn't have to be in good condition, I want to get it recovered anyway as a little project.

Anyone able to help please get in touch, cheers!

I'm a bit of a geek and like sim racing, she's quite good fun I must say, blasting around Brands today

(wasn't sure which section to post in so hope this is ok lol)

Assetto Corsa for me

Yeh good advice there Veeg. As you say all about trial and error depending on light/conditions. Sometimes using a remote shutter cord and the "bulb" setting can work well. Or I like to use the 2 sec timer function so I don't cause any shake when actually pressing the shutter.

I have done similar technique shots at Brands before, for light trails and fireworks. Couple of examples below;

Some really cracking shots in here chaps, nice one, probably a good laugh as well

Hi matey, what brand are your spacers, how long have you had them? I'm by Farnham Surrey so not too far at all to collect. Any pics of your car with the spacers fitted, any issues with 25mm at the front?

Payment sent. cheers

Looking good !!
