  1. These are the exact lights i'm wanting, if it wasn't for the fact im saving towards wheels id be all over them, im literally shocked they haven't been sold yet though, if they're still around in a few weeks ill take them though
  2. Will you be selling the old skirts etc? Interested to see the car in red though! Dunno how people have the balls to do a wrap themself, kudos for giving it a bash though!
  3. tbh, i get the problem just from some cobra decats, but i think its just one of those things you have to expect, top end noise is lovely, but its the 2-3k that isnt perfect.
  4. haha, very much your driving, impressive lines
  5. Looks ridiculously smooth! Always good to see an Evo made to look like it's stood still!
  6. With how OCD you are with cleaning these are the perfect fit too, no nuts to maintain! Looks fantastic on the new shoes though.
  7. Thanks, in my head i was imagining the cats further back, but makes sense now. Will wait for the DM and get it all ordered, cheers
  8. Yeah, im aware of these, but im talking about gaskets before the cat, how many gaskets are required to replace the exhaust system before the cats, basically? Manifold/headers back to the cat?
  9. Thats one part yup, my main confusion is ive seen various diagrams which state different things. I'm fitting decats, but have a small blow before it (somewhere), so wanna replace the gaskets, and i just wanna eliminate any problems down the line, will i need 6 in total? 2 of the ovals, and then 4 of the 5 sided shaped gaskets? May sound a noob question, but in my head it makes sense
  10. Am needing Manifold to Cat as ive got a blow, and am changing to decats at the same time?
  11. They're a real nice wheel with the good concave style tbh, had them a few years ago. Not too heavy either
  12. Ive been toying with the idea of these after recommendations from others, how tough is the wiring to someone a bit idiotic with wiring?
  13. I think the main problem with most coilovers for 350s are how low the rear's go, lots of the BC/7Twenty go low enough to be 'decent', but lots wish they had another few inches in them (is the reason i went BC Extreme Low over the 7Twenty/BC's)
  14. everytime i see it pop up as the latest post as unread, i keep checking to see if its a 350z one thats been put up for sale, then get dissapointed when i realise its the same post full of people shocked it hasnt already been sold
  15. As a huge Spurs fan, its good to see Trippier performing as well as he is on the National stage after being so consistent over the last few years for Spurs. Walker still looks like a liability, Alli is off the pace, and from the start id have liked to see him play behind Kane with Dier/Loftus Cheek in the middle with Kane up on his own. I think the way we've played has been good for the UK tbh, its nice to see a bit of belief in the fans, but after Belgium today, i cant see anything other than a Belgium vs Croatia Final
  16. Last week or so have been pretty much waiting for the BC Extreme Low's (spring rate 14/12kg) to arrive (went and collected them yesterday infact) and are currently piled up with a rear window louvre that literally has turned into a bag of @*!#.. When i got it, id heard all the horror stories of them splitting, dropping, and generally being a bag of @*!# in terms of fitment, but the style ill eventually wanna go for, it works for the styling.. This was after id strengthened the top two, and 4th down with some metal bars and fibreglassed them down to atleast try and get a bit of rigidity... First time playing with fibreglass, and cant say ill be rushing to do it again soon.. Got bored and wanted to see how the general fitment was after removing the rear wiper (proper bung should be going in today). If im honest, im not sure i like how it sits, so the temptation to bin it off and not bother wasting any more time strengthening, filling and arsing about with it is pretty high right now (id rather just get the zakustec metal ones and put up with the shipping cost, because the way this sits right now its right up against the window, so even if i had it looking perfect off the car, i think on the car it'll push the rear of the louvres up in the middle and pretty much remove any vision (this are from knightracer originally i believe). As you can see in the photo above, the lower louvres are pushed out of line because of the rear window, and i think its just from it being a terrible fit, because they all line up fine off the car. So currently, im slowly stockpiling parts, i just need to get some bucket removal toe arms and ill get the coilovers on to remove a box from my bedroom floor.. Anyone got recommendations on the best toe arms that remove the bucket? There seems to be a lot of confusion between toe and traction arms with different sites stating different things.
  17. Gravity is on the cards for me, im pretty excited to see this tbh, so dont go selling too soon Lets hope it stays in the community and doesn't get shipped abroad!
  18. I picked up a window rear louvre, which im in the process of strengthening up because of drooping (of the non sexual varient), have been taking headlights apart to paint inners, coilovers should be here in less than a week, then its just waiting on wheel funds from selling the old car so i can start putting bits on, which is when the real 'transformation' takes place.
  19. Ride height is literally perfect... 18's or 19s? Ill need to come up and see this soon i think! edit* just saw on the other post 19s. Look good fitted though!
  20. Ok, So from total stock, ive had the car for a month or so now, getting used to little bits, and getting back into the Nissan way of life... The plan is to not go too OTT (many of us say this, but i guess it never goes to plan), but generally it'll be low and loud with plenty of presence.. Started life as a pretty clean high miled DE (if/when it goes bang, it just means ill be putting something better in, or a low miledage replacement), but generally, its solid (suspension is a bit knocky, but BC Extreme Low's are on order and due in the next few days) To start with, its mainly been getting it running nicely, replaced the front discs/pads and changed the caliper pins, have a small exhaust blow, so thats getting looked at shortly (refusing to pay the Nissan prices for gaskets however), and a lot of cleaning to get the paint back up to how it should be (Im massively OCD when it comes to polishing/waxing, especially with a black car) but the swirls are slowly dissapearing. Went for some Satin Z badges over the Gloss option because of future plans with wheels and styling, then did the same with the door handles.. Which for me makes a huge difference, and adds a little bit of contrast over just having everything blend in to eachother. Then cleaned up the front getting rid of the plate, and chancing my luck at how long it takes to be pulled over (thankfully, it doesn't seem to be too bad down here for negative police attention with cars that are driving at a half normal speed) I think i talk for the entire world when we say how much it enhances the front end look.. Its just a shame theres no way of running black plates, im looking into motor's that fold the plate into the bumper recess though, so thats a potential future mod. I did order a stubby aerial, but on discovery of unscrewing my current aerial, it seems i ordered the wrong style (even though it stated it was for 350z). Soon on the horizon? BC Extreme Low Coilovers on order.. Have a spare set of headlights i'm planning to play about with that i picked up for pennies, to see how just @*!# they are at night if i paint the inners (i rarely drive in the dark, because i work nights) Toe/Camber arms Meister/SSR's in Satin Black (awaiting to sell the old SLK to fund them, so fingers crossed, in a month or so we'll see a bit of progress, fitment, and not much arch gap! I'd like to think this will become a bit more exciting with future posts!
