It should be "T304 British Stainless Steel of 2mm gauge wall". It's very common to sell low grade stainless as 304 (aka A2), cos nobody can tell the difference until they start to corrode, especially amongst ebay sellers. I'm confident my very shiny allegedly stainless exhaust, is not in fact A2 stainless. Stainless does rust, but different grades have different properties and resistance to corrosion. I expect you have been sold 409 in place of 304 (only a metallurgist can tell the difference), very common in the exhaust market. As I say, I think my exhaust is also low grade, it's not a big deal, just lose their shine quicker.

Yeh, 06 got a facelift - front bumper (very subtle), headlights (bi-xenon projectors for all models), LED taillights, a slightly better engine and a much flakier interior.

And I thought I'd stand out with a ginger 350Z!! lol.

03 04 and 05 DE are the pre-facelift ones that jon says he doesn't have. Try alex.

^ Too 'electric' for my taste.

I quite agree.

I like those stupid tiny GT mirrors, if that's what they are...if you want to move them on, shoot me a pic? Cheers!

The other thing I was going to do was wrap in Arlon Mariana Blue...

Go BMW Laguna Seca blue, I keep thinking about it, but I just can't afford a full respray right now.

And at that price you can buy 2 and string them up in raid 10 and be almost as fast as the top dollar discs. I'm reading a GB (not a typo) a second with a pair of legendary agility 3s. Soon I'll do the same with a couple of big Samsung Evos.

Don't mean to lecture, but you do get what you pay for, as a rule. So go in with your expectations low, they may need a fair amount of extra work to come out as pictured.

No need to go to America for a much better road than that (I'll prove it as well when I take the Zed to Kefalonia in the summer ). Great driving though!

I don't flash people at night, but in Greece it is sometimes necessary to flash someone if you really do want them to STOP at the stop sign they just reached, instead of pulling out in front of you (exactly opposite of what you do in the UK, flashing to let someone out can get you into a crash over here). Flash here means 'coming through!!!'. I also prefer to flash people who've fallen asleep at the wheel when the light has turned green, necessary approximately half the times you stop at a traffic light (minor exaggeration) rather than beeping which I reserve only for fools (so only about 15 times a day). More aggression here is what keeps you out of trouble, dithering people get into trouble, so you need to be quick with a flash here and there. NOBODY is courteous. I really should do a GoPro of me crossing Athens in the Zed one day, I'm sure you guys would find it entertaining. I am, absolutely, ruthless. Mwahahahaha.

Here ya go mate, might need a lot of sanding and a bit of tweaking to fit and look good, but hard to go wrong for the price. By the way, you were right it wasn't coming up under a gia cuzzo search, strange, the seller missed a chance to sell more of them by missing that tag out I reckon, cos as you can see, it is a good replica of the Gia Cuzzo item. Anyway, there it is! Good luck! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131846657179

Holy Moly, they're steep, Dan. I guess you're right they're probably worth it, since those ebay Philips quote between 3150 and 3650, so probably tending toward the higher end of that on average, lets say 3500, quite a bargain, but like you say, still far from the 4000. Quick question while I've got you guys on the line, how long do your lights take to warm up, and how strong is your instant flash? The aftermarket HID thing on my car takes about 20 seconds to warm up and the flash is weeeeeak. Just curious what to expect from nissan 35W ballasts, depo lights and good bulbs in terms of warm up and flash?

Cheers guys. Dan, is there a D2S equivalent? I'm using facelift light housings and loom.

No worries In my opinion, the Gia Cuzzo spoiler, which is similar in design, looks better...it's also available cheap and readily on ebay as a replica....just search 'gia cuzzo 350z'. In the shot below, they have kept the OEM lip spoiler, others remove it, it's an option.

In some cases I agree, but I particularly like Sargara's recommendation as they are clearly genuine philips bulbs for a price at which you can usually only find off brand bulbs (which as you say could well be 90 quid xenarcs, but you never do know), so that basically ticks all my boxes. Genuine brand, good price, recommendation from peer. Can't ask for much more!

Perfect, they look ideal and the price is right! Thanks!

Hiya folks, as title, really. I'm in the process of updating my headlights to 06+ spec as well as gutting the POS aftermarket HID system the previous monkey owner fitted. I've already bought the Depo headlights, and found a good source for ballasts on ebay, also got the plugs I need to do the loom conversion, now I just need bulbs. Having looked on ebay, I find the price range is ludicrous. You can pay from 15 quid a bulb all the way up to 90 for D2S bulbs. How does one know what is good value? Thanks for any hints, and by the way if anyone has any ballasts going cheap and/or bulbs, let me know! Cheers!

These things are going to replace jump leads soon... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12v-Powerful-Heavy-Duty-Car-Truck-Engine-Battery-Jump-Starter-Portable-Booster-/192098577012?hash=item2cb9f7aa74:g:YRIAAOSwo4pYmdNu

Any time! And also, be aware that when I bought a new upper centre console piece recently, it wasn't the same colour!! Some are black and some are a kind of gunmetal colour (if that's yours in the pic, yours is a gunmetal one like mine). I don't know if maybe this was a model year thing, as mine is a US car and I have no idea what car the black console came out of. Gear stick surround I think is the usual nomenclature, but your description is fine!

The bit that the gearstick sits in is a small piece that sits between the upper and lower centre consoles. Basically, if you consider the centre console to go from the tri-gauge scluster at the top of the dash, all the way back to the cubby that;s backed up against the cabin wall, it's three pieces. One piece from the tri-gauge cluster to the heater controls, a small piece from the heater controls to the ashtray, then the lower piece from the ashtray all the way back. You will be able to get all three separately from our illustrious breakers I expect, just making sure you know what's cookin'. EDIT: And now, my clarification is worthless thanks to your pic. No worries! PM ZMANALEX or Jon@Emperor on here, both are excellent breakers!

fixed that for you

There is, but it's not a spoiler, it's a wing...as far as I know these are the only 2 wing/spoiler products INGS makes for the 350. The one in this thread and the below. http://www.intensepower.com/incafizwilow.html
