    30mm spacers

    I'll give them an e-mail. Might not be on the site Just spoke to driftworks and they said they can do the 30mm for me. They also said they can do any other size I want too. Thanks for that No problem. I have had no issues with mine, good quality
  2. Cheers Dan, have to agree as well, the fitment is spot on, no silly, dodgy panel gaps anywhere. Thing is, if someone is going to come from any distance to have a look or actually do the deal, I want them to know what they are looking at before committing to outlaying for fuel etc. I know for a fact that if I travelled a distance for something to find out it was fubar'd i'd be pretty narked!!
  3. I know I driove my Z with no mot and tax to the mot center and then home again once it passed and then got tax but as above, not sure if the dates cause problems. I'd be inclined to give the DVLA a buzz to make sure.
  4. Nice, looking forward to seeing pics!!!
  5. Isn't your white one a bulge though?
  6. I was just about to PM you! Don't fancy it then?

  8. I am putting this up to see if anyone would be interested in a swap deal. I currently have an N-Style Carbon Bonnet that I purchased from Jeff at EPRacing and I am looking to swap it for a "Bulge" bonnet plus £350. The swap would have to be done at my place in Crawley, West Sussex as my Z is currently SORN and I really don't want to ship them both due to size, weight and liklyhood of damage! My bonnet is in very good condition with only two marks on it. The first is at the front of the bonnet (see picture) where something has scuffed it slightly but it is only in the clear coat so will most likely polish out. I will attempt this when I get a spare half hour this week as I am confident it will clean up ok, just haven't had time to do it so far. It also has a small crack in the clear coat by one of the vents which it came with. Again, I am pretty sure this could be cut back and redone but it's not something I want to dabble with myself in case I make it worse!! It has an adjustable front latch so the height the bonnet sits at can be adjusted to the required height and is secured to the bonnet hinges by the standard two bolts each side. Your oem bolts are suitable to use with this. At the moment, I only have one of the vent covers on as my lid on my K&N was catching on the otherside but the other cover is included in the swap/sale and the cover will fit with an open filter or oem airbox. As far as I know there are only a handful of these in the country and imo it is the nicest looking carbon bonnet out there. I am looking for the swap as now my car is matt black and smoothed, I just don't feel the car flows well with the gloss carbon and vents which is why I am looking for a smooth oem bulge bonnet. I am not sure if this bonnet will fit above the new engine but I see no reason why it wouldn't, I just haven't seen it done before. I am looking for a bulge bonnet that is in medium to good condition. I am not worried about stone chips as I will be cutting it back and respraying it anyway but obviously, the less the better! However, it can't be dented or damaged. Pictures...... The bonnet Crack in clearcoat Scratch on front Nearside cover Underside

    30mm spacers

    Strange, I got some 35mm of them a while back.
  10. First thing I would do is get a multimeter on the battery and alternator. If it is only happening before the car warms up, it may be struggling for power until the alternator starts charging the battery a bit. Also check the contact points on the battery to make sure they are tight and also check the earths, battery, alternator and iirc gearbox. It's a good place to start if you have or can borrow a meter as it won't cost you anything

    30mm spacers

    Try Driftworks
  12. Smooth everything imo, I think it would improve the sideskirts no end and the front end would look better without the badge as well. Loving the carbon roof as well Not sure what to do with the front bumper though, follow your instincts
  13. Which year? i'll pencil her in for 2020 oooh, I am planning on having mine back for then as well!! But we will have all moved on by then Andy I'll go on my own then
  14. Just for the sake of comparison & search purposes, here is the Veilside V3 rear with rear overfenders.
  15. That's cheap! Not bidding but, would those look ok with a nismo 1 front bumper and spoiler? Like the fat look but not keen on the visible "nails" bits... Used the amazing Search option and found my answers.....................

    new lenso alloys

    S73's on a non Brembo Z

    new lenso alloys

    I believe they were available as a 8.5 or 9 on the front and a 10 on the back. Lenso used my Z to test fit them and they fouled badly on a front Brembo caliper but will fit a non Brembo JDM car. I did play about with spacers at the time but it was a few years ago and I cannot remember what size was needed but I do remember it made the wheel poke out the arch. Real shame as it is a great looking wheel even though it has been around a while
  18. +1, plenty of tried and tested places people can recommend but depends where you are and how far you are happy to travel
  19. Which year? i'll pencil her in for 2020 oooh, I am planning on having mine back for then as well!!
