Just to update you all, the trays were all ordered and paid for on Wednesday night. They are hoping to have them all packed up and sent out on Tuesday. They were at a show this weekend and need to have a few more made as they were short. They should be with me around 7-10 days after that. Many Thanks Kevin

Hi Alex, do you have the GT Spec front brace? I had to make two spacers from drilled Alloy bar and use some longer bolts to make it fit. I will send you some pic's of mine if need be. It was pretty easy to sort out and did not involve any modifications to the tray itself. Thanks Kevin

The Hardware kit is included in the group buy price. Thanks Kevin

Between the two forums we now have the following numbers: Ian P Greg Warnes IanS16 ZMANALEX lilsheepshagga_turbo You can pay me in one of two ways.

Sales info taken from Z-Speeds website: 2003-2009 350Z ZSpeedPerformance Verison 2 PC Matte Black Engine Undershrouds! These under shrouds were developed to protect your critical engine parts under the car and also because the cheesy plastic OEM shield deteriorates over time and usually ends up on the highway behind you somewhere. Version 2 is the latest creation from Zspeed Performance! V2 featrues added vented to help hot air escape from the engine compartment and more clearance for deeper oil pans and bigger sway bars. The V2 shield is also beefed up! The rear part of the shield is made from thicker aluminum to help give your oil pan and other items more protection, The front part of the shield that bolts to the fascia is of a thinner aluminum so if you were to hit a curb/parking block too hard it willl buckle and prevent damage of the lower fiberglass core support it bolts to. Without the shield in place the air that comes in thru your facsia should be directed into you radiator and instead will just take the path of least resistance and exit under the car instead of cooling off your radiator. Just like the upper radiator air guides keep air going thru the radiator, The bottom is even more important to have in place as it is much easier for air to escape there. The under shrouds will fit all 2003-2008 350Z's, 2003-2006 G35 RWD Sedan with stock front fascias and should fit any fascia that the OEM under shroud still bolts to. The Zspeedperformance under shroud will help give the lower front fascia much more rigidity also, As you probably know, running without the shield in place at high speeds can do serious damage to the front fascia as it will droop down and can rip apart. With the integrated oil change access door all you have to do is remove 2 bolts and you have ample room to get to the oil filter and drain plug. Weight on the entire piece is 4.5lbs, The plastic OEM shield for reference weighs in at a bit over 3lbs. Very lightweight and much more protection! Optional Hardware kit will replace all the factory hardware to mount the shield with. Includes all new bolts and J-nuts that you need to install the shield.

I have been looking into getting a group buy going on some Z-Speed Aluminium undertrays on the other forum. I have 2 takers so far but need at least 3 to get it going. The Z-Speed under tray offers improved cooling, easy access to the Oil Filter, offers greater protection to the sump and really stiffens up the front end especially when using an aftermarket front bumper. I have just fitted the Z-Speed aluminium under tray to my own car and it is a great fit and really high quality part. It comes with all the OEM fixers and fasteners for a easy install. If I can order 3 or more at a time I can get them for £150 each (Including VAT & Duty) + £10 postage in the UK. Normal retail price is $199 + $80 shipping + TAX and Duty which by my calculations would be £238 landed in the UK. I would be looking to get these sent to my address. I would then re-pack and post them out. The under trays are currently in stock so shipping from the US would be around 10-14 days. Takers so far: Ian P Greg Warnes Thanks Kevin

Nice talking with you on Sunday, had a great time up in Edinburgh. Looking forward to seeing the latest incarnation when its completed should look Awesome! Thanks Kevin

Because Models love to Play with them! Thanks Kevin

The wheels sit pretty flush with the 18 x 12's on the rear and 18 x 10's on the Front! Thanks

When running this level of Power the engine should have the same reliability as standard and should last for long time and thousands of miles, but would be hard to put a figure on it. When racing the car I was running 2.4 Bar and was running around 948RWHP at over 1100 at the Flywheel. Rebuilt the engine twice, one down to reaching the limit of the Stock crank caps, which I replaced with Billet Items and once when I dropped a plug tip which caused damage to a piston and two valves. I guess this is the sort of thing that happens when pushing an engine close to its limits. Thanks Kevin

Probably spent over a 100K on it over the last 10 years. I know what you mean about building it yourself but when all the best possible bits are used in the build and the proven performance figures and Dyno charts are there to see any potential owner should have no doubts this is the real deal! Standing 1/4 Mile - 9.86 @ 145.52 MPH 0 - 1KM Topspeed - 189mph in 5th Gear. (6 Speed Manual box) Thanks Kevin

Took the Supra down to Thor on Friday to get the engine map tweaked after the recent engine rebuild. Since Im no longer interested in Drag racing the car I wanted a pretty Safe detuned map for road use and was'nt interested in ringing every last BHP out of the engine. I asked Pete to conservativly map the car for fast road use on V-Power. Here's the results. Its Forsale here: http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/cardetails/toyota/2010/supra9.html Thanks Kevin

Thanks for the kind comments guys, pleased you like it! Thanks Kevin

Here are a few pic's of my new rear end from the Modified Nationals show? Took the oportunity to have the front bumper resprayed too while the car was in the body shop. What do you lot think then? Thanks Kevin

Just seeing if anyone fancied cashing in on their Tommy Kaira shift knob before I order one from Japan. Thanks Kevin

Not heard anything back so have pulled a few favours and am now on another stand. Thanks Kevin

sorry Kev, stand is for 350z's and 370z's only Did'nt think it was going to be an issue, I will just bring the Zed! Thanks Kevin

Kind of lost Interest over the Winter months with the car just parked up in the garage, looking forward to the show season though, going to try and make as many as possible.

Can you add me to the List? Kevin Huntley Is it OK to bring my Supra? Need a long drive to run the new engine in? Thanks Kevin

I have the Power Enterprise Spoiler on Mine which is what the car on the Seibon ad has fitted. The Do-Luck spoiler is similer but with different end fins. Hope That helps.

Pleased your Making progress, Im sure you will have the car back to its orginal glory in no time!

Got the 5Zigen A-Spec on my car and love it quiet on the motorway with no drone and comes to life when you put your foot down. 5Zigen do the ZZ with stainless tips, the pro Racer with flame burnt Inconel tips and the SP which is their flag ship exhaust. Thanks Kevin
