    Spoilers!

    Thanks so much mate! I have the grey/silver Z and couldn’t decide if it would look better black or grey. Looks quite nice black. Seems Iv got a thing for Tarnac Sportz stuff as the lip and skirts I was looking for also turned out to be Tarmac. What does yours look like?
  2. Thanks mate took a look through. Hundreds of great stuff on there. Tempted by some lowering springs and camber arms too. Do you recommend any in particular fora nice ride height when keeping the OG forged wheels as I’m not going bigger on them just gonna dip them I noticed the side skirts come already piano black ready to fit which is cool, do you do a front splitter/lip pre painted too? As it’s the shiny black look I’m going for
  3. That’s good to know thanks mate. Don’t suppose you got a link for them?
  4. Thanks mate. Be interested to know what lips / skirts these are
  5. Oh sweet I think this is the lip kit Iv been trying to find! Where are you guys based and what’s the rough costs for a full kit or just front and side lips fitted? thanks

    Spoilers!

    Anyone know what this one is called?
  7. Hello I was going to post a similar topic but thought I’d piggy back this one with you if that’s ok. Also have the same colour 350 as you i quite like the idea of a duck tail / rocket bunny spoiler but not sure if need to get an actual rocket bunny one or if there are any good copies. Also, I found this picture I saved to post up on heat to ask if anyone knows that this side skirt and front lip kit is as it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Might be of interest to you to. Spoiler is also quite bad ass! Wonder if this car belongs to anyone on the forum?
  8. Thanks for this info mate. I wonder what people do for MOTs then. I don’t imagine people like to have them re-done yearly
  9. Hi guys. Sorry to revive an old topic but searched high and low before posting a new one. I have a silver/grey 350z. Going to tint the windows and thinking of tinting the rear lights to make it look a bit stealthier but I have no idea how to go about it. Do window ringers do it? Is it legal etc? Thanks in advance!!
  10. Yes il defo give it a go worth a try! And thanks I did see them and wondered if they were good
  11. Guessing not as dangerous as the garage made out then? is it easy to do? Sorry I haven’t managed to get under the car yet to look

  13. Hi all I had an issue New Year’s Eve where my flexi pipe split causing back pressure issues so had a custom exhaust place weld some plates on (had the other side done too as it’s been on there same amount of time in case it cracked too) since then, when the car comes down the revs, no matter which gear, always exactly 2000rpm it makes a rattle/crunch noise from under the footwells. Garage are adamant it’s heat shields as they were loose and I noticed after testing at 200rpm you could actually sometimes feel something hit the under side of the car in the foot well so I thought they’re probably right, Iv left it since then and I believe the driver side shield has fallen off since so doesn’t sound as bad but the passenger side one sounds horrendous now at 2000rpm and isle (but nice when accelerating lol) almost sounds like they’re blowing now it’s a lot louder so I’m wondering if they’ve had it and thinking about replacing them looking for advice on either a repair option or replacement option, maybe some sport ones? I already have the optional extra nismo back box so it sounds quite nice once accelerating so maybe some sports cats might finish it off nicely Don’t really want to spend any more than 300-400 on a bit of a budget I’m afraid but open to sound advice and if worth pushing the pennies then maybe thanks in advance Martyn
  14. Hi Zman, thank you for repsonding. i will ask my mechanic to do that, though you'd hope he would have done that himself... If it is the sender or gauge that woudlnt explain why it isnt running properly and sounding terrible though would it? :/
  15. Based in South Wales Newport My Z is a standard 54 plate ANd thats cool thank you for the search tips, didnt realise you could do that
  16. Hi all Im new so please forgive me if i posted this in the wrong place, i have also searched through some old oil pressure threads but cant find anything that matches my 350z's symptoms This new years eve, i drove down the motorway for 40 mins to work absolutely fine. Finished work at 14:30 and started the car and immediatly i knew something was up as the car sounded alot louder than normal and very throaty and hollow, i drove it out the car park and it sounded like a tractor but didnt feel massively lumpy. My thoughts are its a misfire but it is still pretty smooth and i havent ever expierienced a misfire on a V engine so im not sure how prominent that would feel, if you really concentrate you can feel a judder but to anyone not familiar with a 350z, evidently (as below) you cant tell It was idling/ high revs at 1250 and oil pressure sitting at about 45 where as it ALWAYS has sat at 30 unless accelerating it would go to 90 buyt neevr any higher. So thats a worry. Checked oil levels, fine. It was overdue a service though. Each time the AA or RAC guys (i had both out) started my car the oil pressure seemed to get higher and higher until on 02/01 when i started it after 2 days to drive on to a flatbed to be taken to a garage the oil pressure was idling at 90 and it sounded even louder and throtier and still idling high. The thing that is annoying me, is the recovery mechanics and the guy that has it at his garage now all think its fine and sounds fine, but no offence to them, they dont know what it sounds like normally. It sounds nice compared to a normal car but compared to a healthy 350 it sounds like a tractor and very hollow :( The AA and RAC couldnt find anything wrong as there are no fault codes showing they cant find anything wrong with it or see any live data so i have had it recovered to a garage where it is now. The mechanic as i said above couldnt work out what is wrong with it and said he took it for a drive and the oil pressure is high but it seems fine (but its not) so i asked him to do an oil and filter change as it was overdue, which he has done and when he put it on the ramps he noticed the passenger side flexipipe was completely cracked, so i have had a plate welded in by a customs garage now in hope that could have been the culprit but the guy has just called me to say its all done but oil pressure still idling at 60 so im lost now Please if anyone could shed some light on it i would greatly appreciate it . Im heading over there on weds evening to go and drive it to see what i think of it but im not confident its going to be running any better Huge thanks in advance to anyone that replies
