Finally wheels are on very pleased with them. Big thanks to Tarmac Sportz for sorting me out.

Common fault on the Z because the brushes seize up. You're correct, the motors bolt in so you can just replace them, or you can buy a whole new fan assembly which will come with new blades, motors etc. 

The mishimoto fans are supposed to do a good job but are apparently way louder than oem, so keep that in mind. 

If you're practically minded, there's a guide on here somewhere to split the motors you've got apart and refurb them yourself pretty easily.

That's what I did when I had the same problem as you and they work perfectly now 

 

Exactly that. I have done the fix by myself following the guide here and it worked a treat. Worth doing it in my opinion it's not hard at all. Good luck

Looking awesome dude. Love it in white 

Do you have a picture of your car with the eibach? 

As I said I would like it a bit lower but drivability is more important as I use the car daily

Thanks man. 

Tein springs fitted here with wheel spacers. No problems over speed bumps at all and the ride is drastically improved. 

I was debating to go with eibach as I would like it a little bit lower but the fact that I would need camber arms and the possibility of scraping over speed bumps I chose the more sensible option.

Job done. Thanks for your help guys. I'm very happy with them although I think the wheel bearing is going now lol 

I suppose it was on its way anyway just now with the spacers it's a bit more pronounced

Fitted Tein springs and spacers. Absolutely loving it 

Welcome along buddy. Zed is looking clean. Well done you done well there 

@veeg33 appreciate your help man. Really good guide and helpful with the pictures.

When I said if the stock studs are too long I didn't mean to use them to tighten the wheel and the spacers. (hope it makes sense what I'm saying lol) What I meant is that once you bolt the spacer into the hub then the stock studs are a little bit longer than the spacer itself. I've noticed that at your pictures as well. Now I'm guessing the stock wheels have holes and that doesn't matter as you and all the other guys fitted them without having to save the studs.

Hope I didn't confuse you too much trying to explain what I mean lol 

Thanks for the tip about the bolt for the fronts as well 

Hi guys. Thanks for the info and the quick reply.

I have decided now to go with this set up myself 20mm front and 25mm back. I have one last question though. Is the stock wheel studs too long for the 20mm at the front? Worth mentioning that I have the stock GT wheels. Do I need to modify anything in order to fit this set up or just bolt on and ready to go?

Cheers 

Hi buddy. I know the post is almost a year old but I'm thinking of buying the same spacers. Any feedback after a year on the car would be much appreciated

Thanks

Massive thanks @dpbayly you saved me lots of money 

Very helpful guide and I can say it's not as hard as you might think it is. Definitely worth the 1 to 2 hours of work to your car. I managed to do it all without taking the undertray off. it is possible to finish the job all from the top. The only tricky bit is to unclip the 2 bottom switches.

Again brilliant guide and thanks guys.

Hi there. As a roadster owner myself I can tell you one thing. Just go for it 

I was like you never considered a convertible before and to be honest I thought that I don't even like them lol. My missus convinced me to go for the open top feel and I can reassure you it is totally worth it. The sound of the V6 with the roof down never gets old. The coupe might be a bit better on track etc but honestly on city and everyday driving you won't even notice the difference. I'm well impressed with the handling and I don't think is lacking much in comparison.

About the auto box I don't really know as mine is a manual but I don't think is a horrible box in any way. 

Rust is the only issue you need to consider in my opinion. The money you need to spend to fix it you might as well spend it on wheels maintenance or any other mods you might fancy. What is your price range of you don't mind asking?

Hello and welcome. Your roadster looks very similar to mine. Would be good to know if there is anybody that can service the roof. No problems yet (touch wood) but you never know

Hi and welcome. Enjoy every minute with it 

In my opinion Best Motoring produce some of the best content you can find online for Japanese vehicles and not only. Shame I can't speak Japanese because not all of them have subtitles or English commentary lol 

Zed is looking awesome 

Hi all I am not sure how many of you guys are aware of this video but I thought it might be a good idea to share it for anyone that never seen it.

I found this very interesting especially for any DE owner. It's quite long too so sit back and enjoy lol 

Yeah you can never get tired of that sound lol. I own a roadster and the feeling of having the top down and hearing that sound is awesome.

I have mine for about 2 months now and every time I'm about to drive it I still feel as exited as the first day lol 

Enjoy it man and have fun with it. See you around

That's extremely helpful information and very detailed. Thank you very much @cs2000. 

At least know we known what is going on with the windows. Please let us know if you come to any new developments about this. Appreciate it man 

That should be interesting. I was a subscriber already and really liked the down to earth approach on your videos. I was happy when I've seen that you bought a 350z. 

Keep it up man. 

Welcome along. Awesome looking car dude. 

Oh ok I see. I didn't know if it was UK cars in general or just roadsters. Your car is a roadster as well though, isn't it?

To be honest it's not a big deal but it would be nice to have it. 

I would be very interested to know the results. Is it a known issue then?
