  1. The zeds well under way in the Bodyshop not many new parts just a big freshen up! Stone chips were getting to me so respraying the

     

    Front bumper

    Bonnet

    Wings

    Doors

    Roof

    Skirts

    Rear arches

     

    I'm thinking a full spray would now have been easier! Bits of the zed laying all round the Bodyshop!

     

    Little alterations include

     

    370z side repeaters

    Rear wiper arm removed and washer jet

    New badges all round

    Roof wrap coming off and going back to gloss black

  2. Cheers guys yes I think ideally this would be the badge to go for but as you've said could get a little pricey

    Also quite like this one which is the same as yours is it not gixxeruk? Would the rear one go on a 350?

  3. After speaking with different traders and looking on the web I'm struggling to find some new badges for my zed, looking to replace the badge below with the same but with a 370z style Z not a 350z one

     

    (Just to go with a little mod I'm doing :thumbs: )

     

    Does anyone stock these or has seen them for sale anyway......

     

    Thanks

  4. Yeah going to take the centre console out tonight and see what the wiring Is like to the gauge, its just a gamble I suppose I bought a new sensor expecting it to be this and it wasn't which can't be sent back :lol: so have to get that up for sale, hoping I find a auto-electrician that finds the issue quickly

  5. The gauge hasn't worked for a while now, so finally got round to buying a new sender switch which still hasn't worked, before I call a auto-electrician to go through the wiring just wondered if any of you guys have had the same experience and solved it??

  6. They look fantastic. Just curious but how do you check/adjust the tyre pressures, do you need a special tool?

     

     

    Pete

     

    This is the 'tool' in question Pete with two spare valve caps, you unscrew the valve cap with it then screw the same part of the tool where the valve cap was

  7. Well with Wales well and truly on its way and this year I'd decided was the year my zed needed some serious TLC iv had my nismos refurbed! Wanted them going back to exactly how they were when they left the rays factory only difference was the hidden valves as I couldn't source the original black ones.

     

    This is the second instalment after my suspension overhaul found here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82380-full-suspension-overhaul/

     

    Next is a near full on re-spray which is underway (look out or my next post)

     

    Finally will be my new ice install, wether this will get done before Wales I'm not sure now, (if anybody has any ICE for sale pm me)

     

    After refurb

  8. Cheers guys my bracing kit was actually Dans and it is the full 4 piece set,

     

    Tbh with the amount of work done I have noticed a big increase in the cars capability yet but I'm yet to push her as need to get the ride height Perfect still and damping,

     

    Another question when setting the coilover height up I noticed that the zed will drop 5mm on the drivers side when I'm sat in, now do I set front and rear the same height both sides or allow 5mm on both drivers side front and rear so when I'm sat in the car the car is perfectly matched when I'm driving? I know adding a passenger would screw this up but still.... Which is the proper way of setup?

  9. Well.....

     

    It's been a long time coming but decided this year is the time to spend some cash on the zed, its been a while now since I have so decided this month to get all the suspension sorted as I only ever dropped the car on springs!

     

     

    Big thanks to mits (CS) for supplying the parts and very quickly! Thanks also to the other traders that helped out ðŸ‘

     

     

    Then in april im having most of the car re-sprayed and the nismos refurbished back to looking as they did when they left the factory, then lastly some new carbon parts for the interior and a full new sound system can't cope with the Bose any longer! Not sure if this will be done before Wales but the paintwork and wheels shall be done!

     

    Suspension wise iv gone with

     

    Eibach anti roll bars

    Whiteline drop links

    Superpro compression bush

    Superpro damper to compression arm bush

    BC coilovers

    Already on the car is the summit racing strut brace kit, SPC rear camber arm/toe bolt & whiteline rear diff bush kit

     

    Be interesting to hear what settings you guys have found the arb's most effective on and what rate of damper setting you found the best, I know this is purely individual but would be good to hear!

     

     

    The original dampers and lowering weitec springs will go up for sale soon also

     

    Few pics of the work done needs hell of alot of cleaning under there (I know)

  11. I had the same problem but was easy to diagnose as the main bush into the subframe was leaking oil, contacted Nissan and they won't sell the bushes has to be the whole rear subframe which is crazy!

     

    I went for the whiteline solid bush kit the mechanic said it wasn't to bad to fit and noticed a little difference when it was first fitted with quicker response when applying some right foot

  12. Cheers guys, just be glad to get her back!

     

    Picked the grommets up from halfords (thanks for that info) so ill get them sorted when car goes into the Bodyshop.

     

    Just needing the part smashed on the picture lee top right on the strut brace, if you could pm me a price and ill PayPal you as a gift cheers, I'm sure all the others are ok but not 100% until I get the car back from auto windscreens

  13. Update glass is out but they won't get the bloody window seal until at least a week on Friday, Nissan have no stock in the country at all!!!!!! So got to come from Amsterdam still why its going to take two weeks is crazy!!
