  1. Well guy's , i can't say im not impressed!
  2. I don't sorry mate, I would try to meet you halfway but can't fit them all in the zed haha.
  3. Evening all, For sale is a set of 4 18" OEM touring alloys from my 350z. All wheels 4 wheels are wrapped in factory sized Goodyear Eagle F1's, all without about 4-5mm tread left worn evenly on them apart from one which has slightly less, Can get more accurate readings if required. Wheels are in need of a refurbishment if wanting them to be perfect as most have some curbing around the rim and a couple of patches of corrosion, this is reflected within the price. All wheels are straight and true, will also include OEM wheel nuts and locking nut with wheels. Looking for £120 but will accept offers as need them gone really, Located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Can supply more photo's or information if requested. Cheers guys
  4. Right then, enough has actually happened to make it worth an update to the very slow thread. The above AUX issue was all sorted out and nothing much happened for the following month or two as i was paying off things like insurance and stuff. A good mate of mine from work is a relatively big Detailer and does a lot of work for RSdirect down in Yate. So we agreed a price and i dropped the Z off to him down in Yate for the weekend whilst I went to Prescott to watch some posh people go up a hill. He did a full paint correction and then coated the car in one of the Gyeon coatings. The results: And some beading pictures from a few weeks later I was over the moon with the results and can highly recommend him. Shortly after that i began the hunt for some wheels to replace the OEM alloys, after waiting awhile for some "real wheels" to pop up used I decided to go down the route of buying some cheaper wheels but new. Was toying with the idea of Grid's or GTR's but seen a few Z's from across the pond with these XXR 527's fitted. Mate from work had some on in Evo and they have held up fine on the UK roads so took the plunge and ordered a set. Went for 18x9.75 ET20 all round. And then some nice new meat to go with them. 255/40/18 for the fronts and 275/40/18 for the rear. All fitted. That's all for now, will be on stand at Castle Combe with work for Summer action day if any of you will be there! Next on the list is coilovers, was going to wait but Driftworks have a sale on HSD's so trying to decide between the Dualtech's and the Monopro's for purely daily driving!

    Tyres

    Getting some new tyres all round for the XXR's(9.75J) I've just bought. Obviously want to keep the VDC happy and reading around is confusing me slightly especially in this heat! Wanting to run 275/40/18 on the rear so would a 255/40/18 be a good option for the front or would a 245/40/18 be better/closer to spec. Cheers guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. Might be looking into these soon , have you kept the stock spring bucket in place or swapped it out for adjustable toe arms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Was almost like a mini-meet , Black 350z and a red nismo 370z all parked next to my blue 350 in Tesco Brockworth this afternoon! Loved the JR wheels on the 350. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Makes me regret drinking and watching the boxing the night before! gutted i didn't come down
  12. It is indeed, blue and very stock at the moment haha
  13. Haha i did have my suspicions, looks proper mean ! Don't happen to work near stonehouse by any chance?
  14. Saw the black 350 which looked like it had a veilslide kit on down hucclecote road Gloucester yesterday and keep seeing a orange 350 around with a few carbon pieces Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Saw you drive through the industrial estate past my works car park , I was in the blue 350. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. So I've spent some time this evening trawling the forums for a similar case but couldn't find one so a thread it is. Basically when I shut the drivers side door it makes a sort of rattle/bang as if the window is loose, I'm assuming that the window pane is loose or something but just wondering if anyone else has had this? Just wanna ask before I start stripping trim and panels back haha. Il try get a video in the morning Thanks all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Cheers for the replies guys , I assumed they will be doing the aux also as over the phone I didn't specify that it was just AC belt if you see what I mean. And by looking at it you'd have to take the aux belt off to get the new AC one on anyway surely. We shall see as its being done all under warranty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hello all, Picked up my Zed on Tuesday after searching around and eventually came to the decision to just put a deposit down and get the 182 sold. Test drove this one first and fell in love! It's an Uk Azure blue GT on about 81k with a full service history etc. As far as modifications they will come abit later on as a I want to do a few service items first like Gearbox/diff oil and a aux belt service(more on that in abit). After that it has to be exhaust and wheels first! A few photos More and better photos to come once the ball is rolling. Now onto today , since picking the car up on Tuesday when starting in the cold I had a large but short squeal from the engine Bay Area , after some research on here it seemed as if it was just the cold but the aux belts may need doing at some point. Anyway I opened the bonnet today to do some checks and inspect the belts to find that the AC compressor belt was well and truly shredded so much that it was in two pieces and obviously not attached to the pulleys. The garage I bought it from are sorting it first thing tomorrow thank god but I am a tad annoyed haha. At least it's still driveable to at least get me to the girlfriends and then the garage in the morning. Cheers for reading Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Cheer's guys i'll give that a whirl haha.
  20. Evening! Yesterday i finally picked up my Azure 350z , been and absolute blast already but have a few questions and things to sort out. Anyway the first is there is an Aux cable installed in the Satnav compartment but i can't for the life of me figure out how to switch to that input. Anyone got any idea's? Ill try and get a photo in the day time. Cheers guys :have searched but couldn't find anything similar
  21. Cheers for all the replies guys Yeah the private one seems to be a good deal as it has a few extra's on it already (rays, touchscreen) but a bit of research shows it needs pads and rear tyre's haha. Got the test drive for that one next weekend
  22. Cheers mate , i've done enough reading already to know your the man for parts haha!
  23. Hi there guys , thought i'd sign up to the forum as with my current car forums like this have proven a brilliant resource of info. Im currently looking into purchasing a 350z, i have just been on a test drive for a Azure blue 2005 GT which using the guide found here managed to check a few things off. The dealer doesn't have the greatest reviews but the car it's self has bags of history and seemed to check out okay. The second one im off to look at is a private seller of an 04 Kuro GT which is a good 1k cheaper for the same mileage. As well as introducing myself just wondered if either of these cars are known on the forum. HN05 WMD CP04 ZDE Cheers guys
