Lovely example of a 350z you have there, paint looks lovely and shiny, makes me miss mine. Any thoughts of finishing of the nismo kit and adding the side skirts?

Gave the z a good run tonight, love this pic 

Thanks guys for all the help, I presume it’s over applying the polish I reckon. Will give some quick detailer a go with a clean cloth and see if that helps 

Hey guys,

just spent the last 3hrs washing and polishing the car and noticed I have a load of smear marks over the car when the sun hits it (didn’t notice earlier as the sun wasn’t on it). Is there a reason why it’s done this? Not using any crap products, used chemical guys black light shampoo followed by chemical guys v38 polish by hand. I have to admit I used oldish microfibres which were clean but I wash with fabric softener (usually throw these in with a few other it of clothing), could this be the issue? Any help appreciated, pic below shows what I mean. @ilogikal1 I know you know your @*!# 

Welcome to the forum, looks like a really clean example you have there

I'm having my B-pillar trims carbon skinned, it will cost less than the Nismo stick on covers and should look better. I'll post up pictures once I have had them done, but I am sending them off tomorrow so won't be too long. 

Where are you getting this done? How much is it costing if you don’t mind me asking? Will be curious to see what this looks like when done, I’m considering getting this done on my 350

100% true buddy. My partner is furloughed and was not going to give up trying to get the refund. I thought it would take a while to get through to them as I had heard that a lot of people were struggling to get there money back too. Have you tried ringing them? All I can offer for advice would be to ring at some point mid morning/lunchtime and be persistent. Hope you get your money back soon.

We were suppose to be going abroad on 8th June with TUI. We had a email come through Monday that it was getting cancelled due to covid. We rang TUI Tuesday morning at 9am although couldn’t get through until about 10.30 then on hold for an hour. When we finally got through to someone they offered a refund straight away with no hesitation, they said it way take up to a week for money to come through. Wednesday we had the money back in our account.

@napp has some gram lights for sale in the parts for sale section

Sorry should of updated this. I got some from chippychip.

pm @ZMANALEX he will most likely have what you need 

Lovely looking zed you have there, looks like it’s been really looked after. Looks fantastic after a good clean, paint looks immaculate nice and shiny. Keep up the good work

Some fit an extra P clip to eliminate this issue.

We already have 2 fitted, where would you suggest we fit the extra P clip?

We have been speaking to HEL and they are saying that they were asked to redesign the lines like this by someone on the forum 11 years ago. According to HEL they used to supply with the oem union (like the goodridge ones).

Does anyone have a pic of the correct way that these should be installed?

So finally got round to using the chemical guys v line compound. Took your advise @ilogikal1 and rinsed, washed, clayed, v36 orange pad on deeper scratches, v38 on green pad rest of the car followed by valet pro beading marvellous. Have to say I’m really impressed with the v38 polish really made the painwork shine. There were still some scratches after using the v36 but made a massive difference. Few pics below.

Beautiful looking car buddy. Think painting the grill has made a massive difference. Looks stunning in red with that kit and the black additions

They are Rays Gram Lights and are in need of a refurb if for road use.

I used them as a race/track wheel and they were absolutely superb.

If I recall correctly they are a square set up and are 8.5 JJ with offsets of 30 front and rear, but I will confirm this.

Prices will also be confirmed once I get all the photos properly sorted with descriptions.

 

Ok cool, let me know 

What size width and offset and price for the gold alloys Alex?

Think I saw some on eBay earlier buddy

Thanks Alex, will probably just need the hardlines and brackets for the front. I’m planning on doing a few other bits to the car over the next few days so will let you know if I need anything else 

Yeah I think I will replace the fronts then as the rears seem ok. Was looking at getting some goodridge ones for the front but can’t see anywhere to get the hardlines and brackets from as these will need to be added. I’m going to try and get a refund from hel as this is a major safety risk

Hey guys,

Got some hel braided brake lines installed last year and noticed today after doing some suspension work that the front brake lines have been rubbing on the tyre. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this the correct way it has been routed as it clearly doesn’t work. Pics below.
