  1. The speedo in kms? It went same day?? Jeez... Could you do me a favour and ask the guy if he minds terribly letting me have it (point him to my post), I've been looking for this for so long. I'll even give you 50 quid for it plus delivery I want it that bad. If not, fair dos, that's life I suppose...I thought I'd hit jackpot, so disappointed. Point him to my build thread to read what I'm up against http://www.350z-uk.c...-to-rescue-a-z/ maybe he'll feel sorry for me lol.
  2. I'm interested in your gemini and HFCs if you want to move them on and change setup.
  3. Hi guys, thanks for clicking. So, we're discussing the driver's steering column mounted gauge cluster, the main ones... some questions please... 1) Was there any change or revision to this unit with the facelift? I assume not, but just want to check. 2) These are totally a direct swap, right? Take the old one out, put the new one in, no need to even reset anything? 3) Bonus question, anyone want to take a guess as to whether the JDM gauge cluster in kms have any difference compared to the euro speedos in kms? Should be the same wouldn't you think?
  4. Please can you quote me shipping to greece for the speedo? I really need it. Thanks v much. I have a very worthy project, rescuing a horribky abused Z, the muppet previous owner got dome dog sh1t white dial backings from somewhere which look very nice in the day (apart from the little stickers to show which warning lights are which, don't ask me why), but at night you quickly realise they are virtually transparent, making the dials just a mess of red and orange light; turning on an indicator lights up the interior green, it's awesome, like being at the disco.

    I used to nick my mum's gt when she was out of town when I was a kid. Ah, great memories. Very nice motor, definitely a keeper.
  6. I'll give you your asking price for the brake lines shipped to my mate in Hull please, let me know. There's absolutely no rush to ship them at all, my brembos are also sitting in Hull anyway and will be a while before they make their way over here. I'll pay straight away and you can take your time to ship them whenever's convenient for you. EDIT: By the way, you say brake lines are for facelift, I understood they were the same (mine's an 03), can you or anyone confirm? Cheers

    I see what you mean, but Eibach doesn't have anything to prove, they're well known to be good spacers. It's like saying a Hyundai is better than a Lamborghini because the manufacturing processes are more transparent. You simply trust that Lamborghini knows how to build a fast car right, as you trust a well known and reputable suspension company like Eibach to be doing (especially something as simple as) a spacer right. I understand what you're saying though man, honestly. If you offered free delivery to Greece I'd have happily bought yours and not given it a second thought, it's great that you offer proof of the quality of yours.

    Roz (was looking for a not-worthy emoticon, but flowers is good ). In my top 10 movies of all time too, but some of the others might make you cringe, so I won't labour it.

    Accepted, but I'd say that Eibachs have proven to be of the upper tier of quality for street use (they are intended to be street, not track), but yeh, I've no doubt it happens to all of em sooner or later. No worries bro

    Are you really questioning the established well known quality of Eibach bolt on spacers? I don't need to explain that statement and you know it. And after I boosted you up earlier as well. Edit: But since you asked and I'm trying to dodge putting the kids to bed by looking like I'm busy to the wife, I googled this... http://eibach.com/m-america/en/performance-suspension/wheel-spacers https://eibach.com/de/en/products/street-performance/wheel-spacers/pro-spacer

    Yeh, these are the ones I referred to earlier. Can't help wondering if they are just cheap chinese ones anodised black to make them look more 'racy' though. I may be doing them an injustice, but at least with the Eibachs, you know exactly what you're getting. Plus I communicated with that seller (2fast2cool) and was disappointed by lack of reading comprehension and willingness to help (he wanted 50 quid for delivery, too, lol)

    Actually, it takes some searching to find those prices on the Eibachs, elsewhere they are notably more expensive, but yeh, there are also cheaper options like Adrian's now, and I also saw some cheaper Direnza ones that looked decent. Nice community you have here, been waiting to come across you in a thread, you also have my dream motor. There is no car I have ever wanted more, I hope you enjoy it, grats.

    I don't anticipate any issues with them. Everywhere that opinions are expressed say that the Eibachs are about the best there are off the shelf. I'm sure Torqen's ^ are good as well, nice prices too. Personally, as I'm in Greece, the Eibachs would still have been cheaper due to delivery costs, but Adrian has a good reputation here and stands by his stuff, from what I've observed, so looks like you're spoiled for choice for well priced quality spacers.
  14. Did any of you remove Euro/JDM speedos and still have them? I'm after a euro/JDM gauge cluster in km if anyone has one. Cheers!
  15. My suspension guy races S2000s and drifts a Z, he said he could get me BCs, but he thinks HSD Monopros are better. I trust him, every time I'm there he has several race spec S2000s in the workshop so I went with his opinion. I put them on my Z and I'm very happy with the ride comfort as well as improvement in response. Just another option.
  16. FYI Jon, these are the ones that are 'too good to be true', that I was looking at... I'm sure they're coming from the same place as the OP's so there ya have it, the answer is they aren't true! Such a shame, that price is brutal. 150 quid for the set? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131705128584
  17. These guys are only joking, don't take it out, the engine will fall out the next time you take a left turn.

    I recently bought these from this seller (link below). One of the mods on here sold a second hand set of 4x25mm the other day for 175 quid, so tbh, for only 20 quid more, you can get brand new. They always sell high second hand, as always in demand. These are the 25s, he has the 20s as well (slightly cheaper too, naturally). Free delivery makes them very attractive. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391389474831
  19. TCA = Tracking Control Arm, usually lower A-arms. May I ask if you bought those cheap chinese sets that look almost identical to oem on ebay? And if so, what problem you had? I haven't bought any, but I was thinking I would when I was a bit more flush.
  20. Tuv would require them to hold the same load as the oem hub, right? I almost bought cheap spacers from 2fast2cool on ebay, and in actual fact their apparent poor reading comprehension and total disinterest in helping me do anything besides press the buy it now button caused me to pause, during which time I had the epiphany that the bits that hold the wheels on, really shouldn't be skimped on. So I stumped up for the eibach hub centric bolt ons that everyone seems to extol. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Still don't know if I'll drift on them though. Lol. They arrived today, I'll go pick them up tomorrow.
  21. Good to know. I just don't know if I'd ever feel 100% about them though (even Eibachs or other proper make). One of those things where the risks outweigh the rewards for me I guess.
  22. Fiver ain't worth my shoe leather or the calories I would consume just getting them down to the post office. lol I get what you mean though. I'd start them at 100 squid and if they don't sell, I'll give them to a breaker for a nifty (euros), job done. So yeh, I'm gathering that they aren't exactly a hot item. lol Oh well, never mind.
