  1. Great review, thanks for the writeup I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while.
  2. Still not the best photo Judging by the size/shape of the backbox I'd still guess Miltek, it's a lot larger than most other aftermarket systems (which is why it's a bit quieter).
  3. To be able to tell for sure you need a picture from under the car really, but I agree the tailpipes look like Miltek to me.
  4. My god that is absolutely beautiful, I can't even explain how jealous I am.
  5. I have an invidia gemini on my 350z and can't reccomend it enough. Lovely tone without being abnoxiously loud (even with HFCs) and brilliant quality. Miltek is a good shout and probably around the same price point, their stuff is usually very well made although I've heard it's not much louder than OEM. Ark and Stillen are great options too, but a bit more expensive as you say. Japspeed is cheap and cheerful, you get what you pay for so it's never going to be amazing (probably won't fit properly and drone a lot). Lastly I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Cobra, some people seem to love them but I've also seen a lot of posts about issues with welds, rust, rattling, drone etc. I imagine the "cotton reels" are probably mass dampers, aftermarket systems probably just have no need for them.
  6. Just seen the thread for the meet, looks great! I really need to get myself organised and start coming along to some
  7. Just went past a convoy of assorted zeds coming off the Shell garage roundabout near Chipping Norton, I was in my 350z
  8. What's a tax disc? Nice looking bit of kit but I think you may have trouble finding a buyer seeing as these things have been redundant since 2015.
  9. Given how extreme the modifications are it might take you a while to find a buyer, but I'd say it's worth way more than £6.5k.
  10. I'd also reccomend changing the headunit, however if you really want to keep the oem one a member on here has developed a kit to add Bluetooth-
  11. Good luck with your search. Try and get a mechanic who's familiar with zeds if you can, so they know common issues to look for etc. Also try not to get too hung up on low mileage, it doesn't necessarily mean well cared for.
  12. Very interesting vid, thanks for sharing. Autofoam has been my prewash choice for years, will definitely give touch-less a try next time I run out
  13. As the guys have said, the wing is just a bolt on panel so an easy fix luckily. If you get any rust coming through the rear arches that's a more intestive/expensive fix!
  14. I think @zippypooz does tinted vinyl overlays for these, or at least he used to.
  15. I had mine done at the wheel specialist last time, they've got quite a few branches around the country. Not cheap by any means but done to a really high quality and great service.
  16. £600 for the set? Not unless they're in VERY bad condition. Mint I'd say at least £1500. Anyway yeah they're Rays Nismo LMGT4's, which I believe were a factory fit option but pretty rare. Very sought after wheels due to the great look and fact they're very light/strong (forged). They must have been refurbed at least once before because the original finish was silver with a diamond cut centre and rim like this-
  17. If you're sure that the throttle bodies are the problem then you might as well have a go at cleaning them. They're very simple to remove and you shouldn't have any issues with the ECUs as long as you disconnect them BEFORE you disturb the butterfly valves. If that doesn't help then I'd PM @ZMANALEX to see if he has any second hand oem replacements, I'm not sure you'd gain much (if anything) from a bigger throttle body especially on standard intakes/engine internals.
  18. Received mine today too. Pics look great, cheers guys
  19. Well worth travelling to a specialist imo. Sure it may take more time or effort, but it could save you a lot of headache and money in the long run by having someone trustworthy who actually knows what they're doing looking after the car. I'd avoid main dealers like the plague personally. From my experience they're incredibly overpriced liars who couldn't care less about anything other than charging you as much as possible.
  20. When I did mine I just removed that surrounding piece of trim, from what I remember it's only a few clips holding it on. Makes access way easier
  21. Should do, especially if you add a tube of molyslip whilst you're at it.
  22. Doesn't the 370z use a bi-xenon bulb for low/main beam, not halogen? To answer your question anyway... I've tried various aftermarket halogen bulbs on various vehicles over the years and yes they can offer some improvement, but not as much as they claim. Most recently I swapped the original bulbs in my motorbike (2013 Triumph Daytona 675R) to these- https://www.osram.com/ecat/NIGHT BREAKER 200-Halogen headlight lamps-Car lighting-Automotive/com/en/GPS01_3495633 They're definitely a bit whiter, brighter and shine further, but nowhere near a 200% improvement.
