Oh f**k no! I'm sure I'm mild compared to others too! No chance..... The G/F may see it!.... And Darren, the TB spacer has a vortex generator in it (like a rifled barrel) that is supposed to drag more air into the plenum... It also increases the volume of the plenum.. Not sure exactly if it increases the numbers in any way... But it will be tested in a controled environment very soon to see if it adds to any gains

You could consided getting the R laser etched into a spoke but keeping the wheels in the dark colour and then just getting the lip on the rotas done in green (you can get lip kits from motorbike accessory suppliers!) It would end up being something like Volk do... Have seen the takata green wheels on a few cars now, dont mind it on a few cars, but accents are the way forward.. As I have been told a few times... More can be less!!

Could be a sensor been knocked from fitting due to where the headers are round the steering rack! If you havnt got anti foulers they will help due to the new flow, then another ECU rest once fitted! As Bennet said, lights for esp come up when it his overload and is telling you something! Fitting? Cause its worth it (And your a baller!!) !!! For the tunes!!

http://www.jc-refinishing.co.uk/ Speak to John, Just tell him Mark or Dan with the 350z's sent you... He probably wont be able to give you a cost on the phone but I would say ball park £300 - £325 depending on how much work needs doing.. (am sure folding could make the deal better )the job will be excellent though am sure of that!

huh? I've been a lifelong Z owner, and I've never seen a Z badge like the TK one on any Z past or present. The scripted badge is actually a range they do for a few cars Didnt want to say anything till an expert came along!! TK only used to put the front (not a z badge) and the rear on cars that they modified... It was only demand from the US that meant they started to sell them to the public! -
fuse box's are either by the drivers right foot or in the battery compartment, there all labled up. Think its in the drivers footwell.. M

Best to take it to a decent and well respected body shop and just leave it with them to sort out! Esp as it needs drilling!

Would be very interested in seeing a Zed with propper gullwings!! Think the Zed may have a design problem to have true gullwings!! Found this whilst searching for those pics Love it!!!

Some people can be duped (yes it has been done) but people saying they are getting (and showing them) a real kit and then putting on a fake and doing a pretty good job of the fitting.... Its down to using good refered suppliers/fitters and doing your homework! -
Suspension and net are 99.9% sold, other items still up for grabs... Mark

Its been about 2 years since his website went down I know. I got my gear knob from him. Had a pm a year back asking where i got if from but sadly euiibs was no more. Seem tyo remember a posting up on the US sites about it Yeh there was... seem to remember it was about service and dealing with an issues and he didnt fair well... may be wrong adn am thinking about someone else... -
The one thing is that people will have spent ages designing the interior and cause of whats behind the dash you cant change much! I think IMO you need a main colour, an accent colour, a break up material and a contrast material... it should also link with the theme of the rest of your car... carbon (contrast material), polished aluminium (break up material), red (accent)and black (main) is the theme throughout mine, the only colours that will (probably) remain static are the main paint and the wheel centres.. (yeh yeh primer!!)... Have always loved the aston interiors and some of the german ones (audi mostly) but i think caue of the way they are structured then it is pretty hard to pull off.. am thinking like the alu legs at the bottom of the CC on a TT.. But if I could chose one interior to try and copy it would be this... Plain, simple, driver focused and with a few trick bits!! let the fiberglassing commence!

Just an idea but it may be worth people stating their locations when they are asking about pricing... I know there is the option to add your location on your profile but if you chose not to then it may be asking for "Price of x shipped to y please" you never know... You may get a discount as it could be a quick and close sale Just a thought and please move to somewhere appropriate or copy into some "selling / buying etiquette" sticky thread if required...

Bugger me, you do talk sense sometimes mate Totally do agree with you about this where something is being made to a higher quality than the original. If you take an item that is good and then make it better then thats a bonus.. if the price is better then an even bigger bonus... Its also not professing to be something its not as it dosnt have Nismo written up the side and is it sold as a nismo "replica"? If you get a knob of the same "style" and then shamfer the edge so it is more suited to RHD then thats product development... As we all know, Nismo make very few of their own parts, they take other high quality parts and then "brand" them but you still know your buying a quality part (sometimes!) If you knob is wearing and the cover is coming off, maybe you should stop holding it soo much With regards to people copying parts then the people that stay selling them will be the one that give the best service, but also buy (or get made) at the best price and have the most backing to operate at the lowest operating margins... Ricki at Equibs seems to be a prime example of this.. Am waiting now for Jay to rock a Failside Aston kit, with Fismo alloys and Fecaro seats.... Now we just know that aint gonna happen!! -

BM, i can understand why people do it, I do see some of the body kit as a bit of a faulse economy sometimes.. unfortunatly its whats gonna happen as the cars get cheaper... Unfortunatly what happens is that the limited sales of the original kit that would have been sold arnt sold by the likes of Envy and then company goes out of business leaving the ones that are selling the replicas ... thus the price of the real stuff goes up cause you have to ship it in as single items! What I dont get is why try and make a copy of something thats already made a copy and then look for a large number of people to have those made up for... Personally I would concentrate on making a copy of something thats not been copied, or take the time to come up with something new that no one has made before... surly the effort is the same ? -
Sorry mate but got to do it too you.... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=difference+between ... es+7+and+8
-
Yep! And its a damn good price too PM's replied too
-
Yep, can be used on BB... Mate, that decision is yours... if I had oddles of wedge then I would have a ultra flat LED in every room cause they look fricken cool! The other question is, do you have Sky HD, Surround Sound, Blue Ray etc etc? If so sod the ones that come with all the extra bits in as you all ready have them and get a 50" monitor! Also you need to remember the location of the TV.. As you see through the bottom 1/2 of your eye, you dont want it too high.. (thats why old tellys come on low stands!)

6.5 kickers have always been a good replacement in the Zed... I put a set of them in the rears and then but genisis comps up front, nice sound from them and a pretty good price, PM Andy Kudos on here for a price as he does that sort of stuff!
-
If your really interested PM me for info. Open to offers... All good condition, 20k miles, It has a few scratches and one or two dings from going over the dreaded speed bumps but not visable from the back.. Mark

Hes on a mac so there must be a compatibility error!

Owned a fair few LCD's and Plasmas over the last few years and I must say the new ultra thin LCD's looked amazing... Not a bad price either but its a bit of an early adoption thing, they havnt been out for long enough... Like with anything though these day, its about what you put into them ie Sky HD or Blue Ray.. For me now I wouldnt touch a "TV" I would just go for a monitor, no tuner, audio etc etc gubins inside just pure video.... much cheaper and a much better quality picture. Currently running an old 42" panasonic 1080p with a HDMI connection and I cant tell any difference between that and the pioneer kuros or the LCD running blue ray... And whats more... £200ish off ebay!! M
