So now that my phone / the forum are finally behaving, I think I can post some pictures! I treated myself and the Nismo to a new spoiler, from a MK1 Nismo just to keep it that OEM style. Why the MK2 never came with a spoiler I don't know I need to get it painted, and get the 14 holes that the OEM ducktail will leave filled, smoothed and painted as well, yikes! Does anyone know what the grey on Nismos colour code is? For reference, this is what Nismo owners will find under the ducktail! I then got the car ready for incarnation, que marathon cleaning session I'm still on the hunt for an exhaust, but as we all know life has a habit of throwing things to slow you down. Itll happen, just a shame i missed that invidia gemini that was for sale on here a few weeks back!

They can cause the paint to "sweat" amongst other issues as others have said. Years ago I had a milano red Type R that I had under cover for roughly 6 months, which caused the paint to come out all blotchy and faded in places, particularly corners of the vehicle that were facing the sun

The only reason I enjoy working a Saturday, taking this in and leaving it in the workshop so I can do a few tweaks without racking up a bill!
-
Edited, saw it was an auto 😂 I wouldnt worry personally. Would agree about cheap aftermarket gaskets though, they never last. Lot of heat goes through our exhaust systems

Our 350z-UK attendance at Brighton, InCarnation yesterday. Glorious day, and even better to catch up with faces not seen for 3 years!
-
In that case I'd go 10.5 and not really be prepared to move too much unless the deal benefited you in some way. I'd also be looking to refit a standard exhaust system and sell the motor dyne separately as that's where you'll really make your money back. Only real Nissan / 350z enthusiasts will appreciate just how special that exhaust is
-
One thing that really helps HRs achieve good money is whether the owner can answer if repair has been done, that being the gallery gaskets and clutch slave cylinder. Both are weak spots on HRs which can incur large repair bills and two areas I'd be quizzing the seller on. IMO, without these done around 8K. With these done, solid 10.5 grand is what I would put that up for

You Sir are deducted 10 Z points for being a diddly iddly doofus! This is your first offence, don't let it happen again! 😉

Are you 100% sure on that? I've owned my Nismo for two years now and have never once noticed another reservoir? And I've never had any issues with just topping up and the rear working? Genuinely intrigued
-
That very car had an extensive Facebook post about it, and PaulT on here managed to find pictures of the accident damage which looked extensive. The last couple years we've started doing bodywork repairs at my place, everything from minor bumps to insurance jobs, and one thing I can say is there will always be unexpected damage and repairs needed. This particular vehicle was also written off the by the insurance company, I wouldn't touch it with yours personally

Sitting pretty with my work colleagues F Type. Not going to lie I'm very temped to change for one of these

Invidia Gemini exhaust for a 370z?
-
Before you purchase seats, have you 100% confirmed you have the wiring in place to make the seats electric, and heated? I'd be very surprised its there as I wasn't aware of the Nismos coming with this option. The last thing you want is going to install them and there being no plugs to work...

INCARNATION Brighton Saturday 23rd April 2022

Count me in, moved a few weekends round at work so am now free. I can't edit the list, Samsungs latest Internet update means the forum freaks out everytime I try to put in another paragraph! -
I want to do this on my Nismo. Looks an OEM setup there and it's peace of mind keeping an eye on oil pressure
-
Invidia Gemini or Ark Grip V2 is the best option if you want subtle, amazing sounding exhaust systems. I also have short tails and while they fill the gap, one of those two are definitely on my purchase list for the future
-
Genuinely interested in a set for my Nismo to be honest. Can picture a nice set all refurbished in gloss black looking the dogs dangleys. Just not sure being a half inch smaller whether the ABS would pick up on it or not
-
No, they had been previously refurbished and had lost the diamond cut outer and centre. However, they were mint mint not a mark or chip to be seen 
-
For what it's worth, I sold a mint set of these back in 2019 with good tyres for £1800. A highly collectable and sort after wheel
-
FYI, we rang "Kenny" yesterday as I need a spoiler brought down to the south coast, and were told due to family reasons/commitments Kenny was no longer offering to do this.

Meister R coilovers. Ran them on my old 350z, they do everything you will want and need them to do. Only slight niggle is they might not go as low as you want and other brands.
-
Either way mate whatever suits you best, as you say I can sell the AAM's on separately at a later date so with that being said I'd still like first refusal on the ARK when and if you decide to sell. I'd rather puchase f a memberhen
