  1. Awesome colour choice, good contrast against the car now! Loving it
  2. Still one of my favourite azure 350z's Loving the updates! Maybe something with the exterior door handles next to go with the wheels or carbon?
  3. As a must have stealth performance modification for all 350z's, the plenum spacer allows more air to travel into the inlet, especially into the front 2 cylinders , which as standard, is proven to be a point of restriction. A member trader previously set up a buy for these however has ceased to produce them for quite a long time now. With access to modern CNC machinery, 3D scanners and CAD packages, it is possible to accurately produce all necessary components which would be required to easily fit a plenum spacer to obtain gains potentially exceeding 10whp as recorded by many. The kits consists of: 5/16" or 8mm CNC waterjet cut HE30 aluminium spacer, internal nylon/plastic insulative sealing spacers, spacers for OEM strut tower, all new longer bolts required and an OEM spec plenum gasket,. All which would be required for an easy driveway/home installation. The total price for a plenum spacer kit is £145 + £10 UK postage, with addition of fees if PayPal goods and services is chosen. At this price, these are the cheapest full plenum spacer kit on the market available.
  4. First year of driving the Zed with 2years ncb was £1200, insurance is massively affected by postcode and occupation too just bare that in mind that not everyone's will be comparable!
  5. Basically try all different comparison sites (e.g. confused.com, compare the market, uswitch etc) and, as the guys were saying above, put in details as if you were 18 to predict what sort of quotes you will get when it comes to buying/insuring a car. I was 18 when I bought my z and I may have gotten lucky with insurance, but I did wait until my 2 years no claims as it obviously helped with premiums! Good luck to you
  6. At Beaulieu this weekend but with some slightly different company! Getting warmed up for it now Hope everyone is out polishing and waxing
  7. Such a big difference wheels can make to the whole car! Awesome choice Have you noticed a difference in driving since the wheel change?
  8. True that, then you'll go buy some Art Pipes
  9. With the eibach lowering springs (30mm), I found the drop a great improvement but found the standard camber arms couldn't adjust back within spec... I would advice going for coilovers as you have so much more flexibility with ride heights and also a good excuse to refresh the shocks too budget permitting of course
  10. More people seemed to be putting their name down for this event in the other post! Unsure on the rules but maybe because this is in "local meets" section it isn't getting as much attention as it could be??? Anyhow, still looking forward to the drive down and the show
  11. I always thought my resonated cobra was perfect for daily driving, whilst still producing a gorgeous note. Maybe in the roadsters you can hear the exhaust more predominantly but there's not really a lot else you can do other than reverting back to a standard oem exhaust? A Milltek system is one of the quietest just in case thats a possibility?
  12. Payco - PA04YCO - Nismo 370z - PAID Panman - P44 AAN - bagged 350z - PAID Olly350z - KD53 DGZ - Facelifted DE - PAID Louis350z - HR - PAID  reeceybeaney - RB03 BOY - 350z DE - PAID x2 Thanks to Martin for stepping in
  13. Unsure which section to post this in but hopefully will be in the right place! Ever since I bought my zed, the drivers and passenger side glass have been scratched quite deeply. As expected, polishing made little difference as the scratches are felt under the nail, so quite deep. Has anyone got had this problem and/or changed the glass at all and is it a simple enough job? Cheers!
  14. I agree with the guys above, shadow chrome is subtle and classy! Not the best pic but shadow chrome alloys on a Z3M
  15. Driving down early Sunday morning via A27 with a couple of other cars, be nice to see a few others on the way down. Also, is there a meet up point prior to entering the show at all?
  16. If you're going to attempt removing it, I would expect the paint to come with it The picture from when I took my Nismo V1 splitter off...
  17. Looking awesome! Have considered a wrap many times, but worried it won't have the depth and shine that paint has! But yours looks excellent against the bronze 370z wheels Someone is getting good at throwing their wallet at their Z
  18. Not really a build update but unsure where to put it Finished college early with a couple of mates and visited JapPerformance Parts in Crawley. They have some awesome stock, mainly for Subaru's and Evo's, but they had an awesome drift scooby in the show room with a RB26 and I'm guessing from the gearknob it was a 350z gearbox
  19. If the car is a daily, I wouldn't opt for the Yoko's as they're predominantly used for spirited/track driving and even though the dry grip is insane, they wouldn't be an all round balanced tyre for daily driving, taking into consideration wear due to the soft compound etc. I was going to go for the Michelin's but picked up the Goodyear Eagle F1s for £450 all round including fitting, so was a no brainer as money was a factor with me, or I would have probably gone Michilin. But now had them over a year and would highly recommend them People who have driven a Z on MPSS struggled to tell the difference on the road, Michilin's may wear slightly better and may be better in the wet. But I wouldn't be pushing a 300bhp RWD car in the wet anyway
  20. Small update... was getting annoyed by the peeling/flaking lacquer on the steering wheel controls plastic trim. Went ahead and removed the wheel and carbon wrapped the 2 panels Not to everyone's taste but looks a lot better than it did previously Also treated myself (and the Z) and got hold of an Autobrite snow foam lance, damn the stuff smells so good
  21. I would go for it, especially as the zeds engine bay gets so hot! Wrap is a lot cheaper than ceramic coated manifolds too which is the same sort of idea of keeping cool Could also look at it that it protects other components in the bay from contact on roasting hot manifolds
  22. Personally, especially on sports cars, I would never change one single tyre. The tyre on the opposite side will have undergone different amounts of wear and being a slightly different tyre may not be ideal for certain driving conditions. If the tyre on the opposite side was nearly new and the same tyre as the replacement then I would probably go for it, but in this case maybe attempt to sell the other tyre if it has plenty of life left in it? This is me also thinking what @Ekonawould say
  23. Yep Lister with the Jag D type engine powering it!
  24. Might be... brownie points if anyone can guess the car from the colours
  25. Have a nice bay photo with some awesome trumpets probably a very easy one
