For sure!!

Thanks for the kind words! For sure, can’t wait for the lockdown to end. Get some great meet and drives organised.

@SHEZZA thank you so much for pointing that out! I shall rectify that right away. Hopefully when the lockdown is ended we can all meet up and that will motivate you to give her a clean Always a pleasure seeing it in the flesh

Progress has been slow but we are getting there! I have finished the cutting stage on the paintwork, as I've said before no point doing a full wet sand or 3 stage detail as when the body kit is fitted the car will have to be detailed again anyway. Overall a massive improvement, silver is one of the best colours at hiding defects so all lights off and Scangrip Multimatch's on for this one! Green Rupes pad and polish used with the Rupes machines. Found this combo works well on the softer paint thats on the 350z. Refinement still to go but that will be done once all the 'dirty' work is complete. Back bumper has been taken off, underneath cleaned. Its crazy how much dirt was under here. Also the bumper was sagging down where it meets the rear fender on the drivers side. I managed to find the problem as one of the plastic retainers had been snapped so wasn't holding up. So another order with Torqen for a replacement. Back bumper dismantled and cleaned. Rear lights and back indicator lights cleaned and polished. As I stripped the rear spats off they were in pretty bad shape, I thought it would be a shame to throw them away, so even though they were not going back on the car I had them professionally re done and painted. Rear carbon diffuser is also damaged but too far gone. Its been badly fitted so leaving it on the car would be better then revealing the mess it has probably made underneath. Side skirts have also come off. Again the amount of dirt that has been trapped and just sitting is unbelievable. I'm so glad that I'm able to get underneath all these parts that you wouldn't be able unless you stripped the car because I can't imagine its doing the shell any good in terms of rusting! 3D Carbon side skirts will come off and originals back on. I was able to take the side skirts off without snapping too many grommet clips I did snap a whole tab off and a couple of the grommet clips will need to be replaced...better load up the Torqen website hey! Rear wiper delete done, found a company in the states that do custom metal plugs and they colour code them as well. Still need to do the washer for anyone that is wondering. 380RS pedal installed, this wasn't a planned purchased but one came up on one of the Facebook selling pages and it was still new in packaging so thought why not! I watched a couple of install videos on YouTube and I quickly found out my pedal clip was different to the videos I watched. Left me wondering wether or not it was because their cars were American or if it was a DE/HR thing. Didn't take photos so can't show you but basically the main clip behind the pedal is apart of the same moulding as the stopper where the ones I was watching in the video the clip was separate and the stopper was apart of the metal framing that the pedal plate attached too. Boot struts replaced, nothing exciting but another job ticked off the list! Finally had to replace the battery as I made the stupid mistake of forgetting to disconnect it whilst it was sat with the tailgate on the latch all this time an expensive mistake for sure. Gave me a chance to strip surrounding plastics and clean though! New gear knob fitted, not a fan of the aftermarket ones so OEM this time around. Looks super fresh now. Protected with Gtechniq L1 Leather guard Like I said slow progress but getting there, next I've got to take all the wheels off, strip arches, treat rust. Ceramic coat the wheels. Then onto stripping the front bumper & splitter. Hope you enjoyed the update, I have been filming everything so will post the YouTube link on here when I decide how to structure the content. Next update everything should be complete and the 'Detail & Strip down' shall be finished. Car will be looking a lot different with all the after market kit off thats for sure!

I’m interested

@davey_83 I paid £19.27 plus postage. A bit steep but probably would of cost more to get a bung and get sprayed KYO. Yup the washer jet is on the list of jobs to still do. Will be ceramic coating all glass once all the dirty jobs are done. I currently use Carbon Collective Platinum Glass but also have Gtechniq G1 for a longer lasting coating. H2Go is such a good product for the price!

Hi guys I’ve recently done the rear wiper delete (followed a very helpful guide on the how-to- section!) I bought a carbon fibre cap kit made for the 350z and didn’t really like the look of it so was trying to find a more ‘clean’ approach. That’s when I found a company in America who actually makes custom metal plugs and they colour code them to your 350z. Here’s the results. Can’t help but think if we had enough interest on here that could do a bulk order? Let me know what you guys think.

Have you got photos of the back of them?

Exhaust ever sell?

Nice Nismo! You’re right the Mk2 Nismo wheels do look a lot better in person, I was shocked just how much better they look when I first saw them in the flesh.

Welcome @Aeromart ! Black Cherry Roadster, very nice! Seems like you know the drill by changing the tyres Share some photos when you have a chance

Lusso Prestige have Litchfields No.1 LM20 car for sale. 15k miles and its up for £69,950. Such a good price for how much car you get!

@coldel I think you're right! If you can afford to buy now I think its the best time too. Some of the prices I've seen are absolute steals

If you really like it then its worth going to have a look yourself, its only my opinion. I personally wouldn't buy a car thats been modified to that extent as I'm sure a lot of it is irreversible especially if the arches have been cut. Also got to think are you likely to plan to sell in the future at all, if so be prepared to have your money tied up. That car has been for sale close to a year I reckon.

This is the owners Instagram https://instagram.com/ryan_370z_ I’ve seen it in person, it’s not the best quality build. it’s been up for sale for a very long time. Would you not rather buy a close to standard one and modify it to your own taste?

A must for any wheels especially gloss black! Good job

Speak to @Adrian@TORQEN I know he sells the hardware kit for the Torqen Undertrays

Nismo kit with 370z wheels, what a spec

Great work. Finished product is spot on! Always takes big balls to carry out any DIY paintwork, so easy to get wrong

I’ve got some Nismo reps from Tarmac on mine. Just had them repaired and re painted. Haven’t re fitted them yet but mocked them up and they seem to fit ok. RT have a great rep so I can imagine theirs fit well.

Thank You!

It seems to be extremely hard to get the MPSS4s in the size 245 35 19? Anyone know why this is

Yep, black centre bit on the front bumper splits it up nicely. Wheels are a nice colour, great against the silver!

I get what you're saying, I would never choose budget tyres over high performance because I thought they looked better But what I'm saying is the Michelin's, Goodyear and Conti's are so closely matched in performance especially for street use, I would use the look of them as a deciding factor of which one I want on my car
