The third brake light no longer fit in the Seibon boot, so I removed the bracket, crimped on the connectors with longer cables, used goo gone to remove the residue and used tint spray to make it fit the carbon boot a tad more

In the short time I owned the car before buying this next mod the hatches paint had a ton of defects and a badly covered spoiler holes and rear wiper hole. Luckily, this came up used on ebay. Called around local companies to swap the glass over. A genuine Seibon Carbon boot was not something I expected this soon into the build but I'm happy to have it - it's significantly lighter than the stock unit and a tad cooler looking

Time for mods! First up is still my favourite mod to this day as it modernises the interior, has apple carplay, retains steering controls and above all else - is massive This is the AuTech 13.6" Tesla style screen. It was completely plug and play however if you do this yourself I'd recommend extending the earth strap for easier install.

The next issue is a random/multiple misfire. So the z received a new set of plugs and coils . See the difference between the two 😮. I realised a good point of the Stillen plenum, lots of access to the coil packs and plugs without having to remove it

So the first issue (of many lol) with this was that the water charge cooler was killing the battery as it wasn't turning off once the vehicle was off, after testing with the multimeter I realised two things: the relay was bridged meaning that the cooler pump was receiving a constant 12V and the ignition line wasn't connected properly and was an intermittent signal. The fix was replacing the relay with a new Bosch unit and repairing the poor soldering job on the signal wire (with heatshrink for weather proofing)

The most obvious issue with the car on first inspection was the condition of the paintwork, very swirly, tons of scratches and looked incredibly dull all over. (not to mention clear coat burn on the rear quarter) So Ballistic350 and I gave it a two step correction and now it is much brighter and less of an eyesore

This is the spec list that was posted on Market place when I bought the car: Engine: Stillen supercharger kit Stillen 9lb pulley Frozenboost charge cooler Mishimoto rad Spec-R dump valve MXP Catback exhaust Art Decat pipes Twin 15 row APC oil coolers Greddy large capacity baffled sump Vibra-Technics race engine mounts Uprev tuned by TDI North & Abbey motorsport - claimed 530hp (butt dyno says its closer to mid 400s lol) Transmission: Spec super twin SS trim clutch & flywheel Vibra-Technics race gearbox mount Z store heavy duty slave cylinder Braided clutch line Handling: BC Racing type ER - 3 way adjustable coilovers Eibach front & rear anti roll bars SPC Front upper control arms SPC rear camber arms SPC rear toe bolts Automek geometry Kenneth Brown Motor Engineering corner weighting Brakes: ART 382mm 8 piston Forged floating (front) ART 357mm 6 piston Forged floating (rear) ART Stainless braided lines Gulf competitions RF-1000 fluid Stillen cold air brake ducting kit Body: Nismo V2 front and rear bumpers Seibon vented carbon bonnet (painted red ) Tarmac Sports Side steps Ram air vents on front Bumper for brake ducting Ram air vent for airfilters Interior: Recaro heated leather seats from a lotus evora Nismo Shift knob

Many of you saw the unfortunate fate of my 350, but I'm back, with someone else's project as I attempt to both fix it and make it my own. Enjoy .

I have the 200 piece advanced set, just don’t have anything long enough unfortunately

Hi, recently purchased a supercharged 370z and am doing some maintenance bits, realised I can’t remove the intake plenum with my current set of tools does anyone in the north ldn / herts region have a 12mm long enough to reach the bolts underneath the plenum? pictures attached

It is with a heavy heart that I'm posting this - on the way home from the rust repair - I aquaplaned into a bank and rolled the car. I've spent 4 years building this car and I can't believe it's gone now. I keep being reminded how lucky I am to have walked away from this alive but it's hard to feel lucky when I've lost something this important to me. I'm constantly reminded it's just a car but to me it was so much more. Suffice to say this is the end of this build thread. RIP Purp (I'd ask that anyone reading this remain respectful and keep any hurtful comments to yourself).

To finish up the wrap I needed to address the rust on the drivers rear arch First cutting out the plagued section Cleaning up the metal Welding in new sheet Filler to refine the shape and smooth it Prime Paint Clear Not bad for a DIY job

Really sorry to see this mate - GLWTS I'm sending a PM for some bits possibly

Does anyone know where I can pick up a set of clear lens' for 350z taillights - there are some places in the US but they don't ship across the pond. I plan to build a set of fully clear lights (not a big fan of the red strip inside the anzo and JDM lights) Any help is appreciated

It looked great initially but it did become dull and yellowed again within a year - looking back on it - it would've been easier to sand it back and then spray some 2K clear coat on it - I ended up subbing them out anyway for the sleeker look of the DEPOs and to get rid of the orange reflector stripe - hoping to do something a bit more custom in the future

So I've started the tedious process of wrapping the car - totally in love with the colour even if it is a bit loud. Even while installing it I still think paint is king - but for a cheap colour change that doesn't look half bad it well worth it

Not a big fan of diffusers for my car - I like showing off all the shiny suspension components aha I do like spats, may have to do something with that

If I could find one for sale yes, would do the same as you and have the "bumper tuck" - not too sure how I feel about vents though

Couldn't agree more - currently would love to have something with a JDM square plate, a lot of options but cant decide

There are a few things in the plans going forward but that brings us to everything done up until the day this thread was first made Here's a teaser for the future...

An ISR burnt tip exhaust was a much needed change over my quiet milltek (much to the dismay of my neighbours) This one is a bit of a love hate relationship as it sounds amazing when WOT but I do find it to make more noise than I'd want while cruising at 70 - hoping I get used to this one

Managed to get my hands on some DEPO smoked headlights to make the car look more modern - aside from the fogging issues, I've got to say I'm in love

The rear end has looked really empty considering all of the other mods - so I treated myself to a V2 Nismo Style rear wing with a Carbon blade. I won't be naming where I got this from as the fitment of the part and the service I received from the company that sold it to me were far below expectation (plus it arrived 10 months after ordering despite being quoted an 8 week lead time) With some heat (and stronger screws) my spoiler found its way onto the car

Bring back underglow!
