    Not surprised by the negative response.

    I stopped selling these in 2010 as they were of extremely poor quality.

    Best to stick with tried and tested Goodridge.

    I haven't seen anything bad about the HEL lines. I was under the impression these were good? What problems did you have with them? 

    I did look at the Goodridge but price difference is what put me off as didn't see anything bad about any lines :/

    I installed a pioneer sph da-120 and is excellent would reccomned. Bluetooth for music or can run an aux or lightning adapter (iPhone) and have music played through leads. I have an iPhone and plug this in and the pioneer has apple car play so it puts your phone screen onto the radio so you can use sat nav from your phone, calls, music etc. 

    The raido itself is a bit pricy though and the install isn't the simplist but do-able. I followed the guide on here and it works perfectly even the steering wheel controls work

    Soon to be zed owner - a few questions...

    in Introductions & Welcome Messages

    Posted

    I have a HR and as good as it is, it isn't that quick in a straight line. Don't get me wrong it's a quick (ish) car but I've come across so many cars that have been modded/standard that have beaten me by a long shot. 

     

    I bought the zed thinking  it was gonna be quick and would out do most other cars but looking back I should have got something else if I wanted straight line speed. 

    Its a lovely car and a great daily driver so if your looking for something to drive around and do long distances then you can't go wrong. This is only my experience of the zed but others may have different out looks on it 

    350Z HR Brakes...

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    I put Black diamond discs and mintex pads about a month ago on my Hr and the pads have started squeaking now and again but not constant. The Black diamond discs are good but don't have the anchoring feeling which I would have liked looking back now. Apart from that they brake well and do the job well, can't really fault them, I've never felt like I needed more from the brakes but then again I only use it for fast road. 

    I got mine from demon tweets for around £300 if I remember correctly

    Centre console removal

    in Interior

    Posted

    Looking for a guide on how to remove the centre console where the heated seat switches are and cubby holes are. doesnt seem to be one on here unless I'm missing something. This is for a HR if that makes a difference as I understand the DE's have the hazard button in the centre. 

     

    Thanks

    350z HEL braided brake lines

    in Group Buys

    Posted · Edited by LukeA

    Hi ladies and gents,

     

    I have been in contact with HEL for the full set of braided brake lines for the 350z 2002-2009 OEM replacements. I was after a set and asked for a group discount for us. These are for Brembo and non brembo. 

     

    The price for these is normally £79.80 they have offered me a different discount prices for more people we can get. 

     

    10+ kits - £60

    15 + kits - £55

    20 + kits - £50

     

    Prices include U.K. postcode delivery. 

     

    EU postage  £10 extra

    International - £12 extra

     

    You can choose the colour you would like from their website, they have 18 different colours to choose from. 

    I have just realised he stated 18 different colours but can only see 12 colours to choose from on their website. 

     

    Everyone would need to pay by PayPal to HEL (not me) and would be delivered to you. I say this as I have seen group buys where you need to pay 1 person but this is NOT the case. If required they can take card over the phone. 

     

    The turn around time is usually 2-3 days but will get more information on this nearer the time. 

     

    I'm not sure on how long to run this for so if anyone has any thoughts on this then please let me know.

    So it seems as though there is a slight difference in colour coding on the rev up so I thought I'd add this to help out

     

    yellow - small plug green/black splice

    grey - small plug cut white/red wire connect to plug side

    white - small plug cut white/green connect to plug side

    orange - small plug cut white/green connect to car side

    brown - small plug cut white/red wire connect to car side

     

    all other wires are the same 

     

     

    Installed mine today on my HR and this colour coding helped so much otherwise would have been stuck. Thank you. 

     

    One question I have got is when I'm driving along if I want to fold my mirrors in for a tight space, I now have to push the button in the unfold position for the mirrors to fold in, so it's backwards now. Are the some wires I need to change around?

     

    heres a photo of how mine is connected, this is for a HR so will be different to older models.  Also a photo of the purple wire I connected to behind the speaker. If this helps anyone

    Out of interest what made you invest in Ethereum? I've been learning how to trade stocks for the past 2 months and still got a long way to go but have been looking at bitcoins recently, and the hype around them at the moment is crazy due to the story of how £100 10 years ago could make you worth £75million today. Ethereum has gone up $200+ in the last month, do you know what made it go up that quick? Hopefully it will keep rising for you :)

    I bought this from tarmac sportz about a month or 2 ago but have decided against it so it's just sat in the garage. I have only opened it and unwrapped it to take photos for this. It has a few marks looks like from wrapping or storage but will be covered up and sorted when painted by spray shop. I haven't had it sprayed. I believe he is no longer selling these

    My Rx8 Track Car - First video

    in Other Cars

    Posted

    I had an Rx8 but never tracked it. The handling was crazy good even on standard suspension, I would have loved to track it. The only thing to let it down is torque and you won't get any gains in Bhp unless you charge it. I had full exhaust inc decat and uprated ignition coils and it made all of 10bhp aha

    Im even thinking about getting one just to track it as there cheap and I'm biased towards them :) as for reliability just get it rotary compression tested and you'll know if it's good from that.
