M35 Stagea import - and alloys question!

[gazman]

Hi Rob

 

You've just reminded me of the absolute simplest and 1st mod I did that really improves the induction note - Z-tube intake. I got mine off ebay from a genuine 350Z, it's a 5 min job and sound miles better than the stock resonated intake on the Stagea.

 

Here's one currently up so you know what I'm on about! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-2003-2006-AIR-INTAKE-PIPE-STANDARD-ORIGINAL-GENUINE/192567451496?fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item2cd5ea1f68:g:Sm0AAOSwAnhbIOEo

Hi @gazman

 

Cheers for the eBay link you sent!

 

I might end up needing the intake pipe from a 350Z as I’ve just bought a JWT popcharger from Blocko. It just arrived yesterday.

 

I’ll let you know how I get on with it. Hopefully fit it either this coming weekend or next.

 

Cheers!

Cool looking car, are you planning anything major on it?

Hi @Sim

 

Not planning anything major on it yet... Just had it converted to run on LPG, which cost £1695, so watching the pennies for a couple of months.

 

That said, just bought a popcharger from Blocko, which will be installed soon-ish.

 

After that, probably in the new year, I’ll tint the rear lights, make a new fog light for it (can’t easily just buy one as the rear bumper slopes at such an angle), and then it’ll be wheels and tyres (might go for the steel modulars that the off-road lads use for a different look).

 

I also might have the grey body mouldings removed and sprayed gloss black to match the wheels.

 

For the moment though, just enjoying it!!!

 

Cheers!

Lol, it's funny how the list starts even when nothing is planned

Glad the car has arrived safe and well Rob - looks really nice in that colour! Would have gone for blue myself if there'd been an RX in that colour available at the time.

 

You planning on doing anything to yours or keeping it stock for the time being?

 

Sway bar link headaches aside I'm still loving my car and recently fitted some new OZ alloys with staggered 245/275 tyres. Along with the uprated sway bars it's very quick in the corners now - I've definitely not pushed it anywhere near the limits.

 

Sorry for another crappy pic. I've still not had chance to take any decent shots yet!

 

 

wow man i’m pretty sure your car is on my road, love the car and the wheels are great
