  1. Thank buddy! Im very, very pleased with how its come together! Well Ive reused the standard GT rays wheel nuts for now, as I was told they fot and are safe, is this true? I really like the look of those, wish they were silver or polished though. Cant help but think the black will stick out like a sore thumb against my silver!
  2. And they're on! Happy doesnt quite cover it. Little lost for words if Im honest, they really complement the car
  3. Well I better let the cat out the bag, but I picked up my new wheels today! Ever since I purchased the Z I said Id own a set of these incredibly rare wheels! And the grand reveal... Nismo LMGT4s Picked these up from Martin on here today, pictures didnt do them justice! Many thanks to Martin for bringing them down to Camberly and saving me a 4 and a half hour drive! Excited to fit them after remapping tomorrow, more to come
  4. Thanks folks, been pretty manic day to be fair! Martins pictures of the wheels didnt do them justice, Im looking forward to getting them on tomorrow after remapping One question, can I use the standard GT rays wheel nuts on these? One happy boy
  5. They will if youve owned them for over a year! If you've had your licence longer then a year youll be good to go and give them a ring
  6. Ekona is right on the money there, and what he has said is very true. Im buying wheels on Sunday, if i was to loose out on them id be well in the poop street. Brentacre I have found to be brilliant on modifcations and we've actually agreed on a agreed valuation for mine. Unfortunately I can tell you now unless you've had at least a years experience with RWD they wont even quote you. I feel that insurance could the stumbling block for you. Not impossible though...
  7. All varients of the 350z whether that be preface, revup or facelift have there known issues so buyer caution is advised, you're in the right place to find out there niggles! Personally, Id wait it out and buy the HR which is the facelift model. This comes with all the new tweaky bits that youll probably spend a good £1000 upwards when retro fitting to a preface model. As Davey says they are all interchangeable but finding the parts is the challenge. Soon negates the tax increase as LED rear lights £150-250 HID headlights £500-750+ HR Bulge bonnet £300 And thats exactly what im going thtough the motions of now. Retro fitting mine And thats not a dig at preface cars at all, I have one! I just wish it had the better headlights etc etc. Ownership wise i really do love mine, and the people ive met on here too. Its not been withoutits problems but in the grand scheme ive got them sorted, just with extra swearing I guess if I could give you two rules of thumb from what ive seen here for two years now is, 1) buy from one of the members on here or an enthusiast. History is documented, you have build threads and you get to learn alot more about the car before you buy. Its a greater reassurance that its not been thrashed on low oil! 2) Check insurance! Insurance is only going up for these from my experience, with many of the named modified brokers asking for a minimum of a years RWD experience before they'll even quote you. Elephant were good for me in my first year but then the car was standard. Not so much now! Im 25 so can say this as been a slight bug bare despite having 6 years NCB Happy hunting! And welcome!
  8. You'll have two door switches, on both side's of the door jams. There kinda small and easily replaceable so I wouldn't pay a garage to do it!
  9. Bumping an old thread, what ever happened to the manufacturers redesigning the Preface DRLs? Guessing it never happened?
  10. @zippypooz and with no arguing Great pictures bud!
  11. FlickR? Can always upload straight off your mobile if you're using the mobile version of the app
  12. Easy way to tell of what though? Had my rocker covers changed last year so I know they're not leaking anymore!
  13. I always read threads like this with a certain trepidation. Should be noted that from what ive read that DEs and HRs have different pressure readings before anyone panics. I only get about 15-20psi after a spirited drive with my DE. 80K on the clock but it does make it a tad paranoid
  14. You may get away with using the oem bolts, you may not. Ive gone pretty low and they managed to get my toe in spec on OEM bolts. Cambers out but Ill adress that in the future Saying that, it makes sense to get aftermarket toe bolts, stillen sold by @Tarmac@TarmacSportz are a good option. Provides you with spares in the event that you snap a bolt, which is likely. Get your alignment done ASAP once the coilovers have settled as it WILL be out
  15. As Martin is away at the moment, I thought id say that Ive put a deposit down on these so hopefully all being well they'll end up in my hands fairly soon
  16. I have to be honest that took me alot longer to clock then it should have done
  17. How on earth did I miss the link! Was staring me right in the face Apologies! Whats the pub like? Im really looking forward to a good meal haha
  18. Possible to have a postcode Martin for those of us who haven't been before? What time would you like us to be there from?
  19. Damn.... When Im in the market for wheels and all... Warwickshire is a mission away The temptation..
  20. Got my remap booked for the 19th of this month with Mark at Abbey motorsport and I can't wait! Be interesting to see what it makes; Standard airbox Blox 1/2 plenum spacer Japspeed sports cats Full Japspeed K1 exhaust including Y pipe Was serviced about 1500 miles ago. Hopefully we can find out whats causing my low idle as well!
  21. Both the toyosports and K2 have rolled inner tips on there tailpipes, which can cause issues with resonance and them rattling. I had my K2 tips welded as the rattling was annoying as hell. Was fine after though. Then I went full retard and got the K1, half of West Sussex can hear me now
  22. I want to say gloss black bud but I cant say for definite as I left it to my bodyshop
  23. Facelift rear lights are a must imo, you'll be shocked how they completely change the rear end look. At night is the best obviously!
  24. Wheels are a surprise for now Davey All in good time my friend Had another cleaning session today ahead of the local meet tomorrow
