Little bit of trimming and filing and everythings gone in easy. Lock and unlock all work so just waiting on getting the key cut then we'll see How did the key turn out in the end?

Olly350z Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 So Yesterday as some will remember from Martins grasshoper meet, we went and picked up my buddies new R33 Skyline! Which obviously meant a good excuse for me to have a cleaning session 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly350z Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 So, while particularly bored on Sunday I thought Id make a list of every modifcation done so far. Was a little shocked by the end of it by just how much I'd done and spent Ive still got alot more planned but it goes a little like this Exterior Smooth N1 front bumper N1 sideskirts Chargespeed rear bumper LED Cannibus rear numberplate lights Smoothed boot 380rs spoiler 370z side indicators Carbon B pillars Rear 3 windows limo tinted Stubby ariel Facelift LED rear lights Depo rear lower lights Boltsbolts USDM conversion Factory HID Zenons 6K Nismo LMGT4S with yokohamas ADO8rs Resprayed in april 2017 WV2 paintcode Interior Ian doles boot devider Carbon door kickplates JVC double din touch screen including cabling and satnav Tan orange seats Tan orange gear gator Nismo Gearknob Metal dash vent trims Led interior lights Engine, Brakes & Suspension Meister R coilovers Stillen toe bolts Mtec drilled and grooved brakes, brembo padds HELL braided lines HELL braided clutch line Uprated clutch slave Upreved Japspeed high flow cats Japspeed Y pipe Japspeed catback K1 exhaust Blox 1/2 inch plenum spacer Lately Ive noticed that according to the oil pressure guage, I've got low pressure on idle. Its dead on 15psi. In my ownership its always had 5w30. From talking to Mark at Abbey motorsport and various other owners, Im going to switch to a slightly thicker oil. My minds made up on this, Ive read the fors and against, but I want to ask this So, with that said, should I go for a 5w40, or as Mark and others have said, 10w40?

Olly350z Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 So it got serviced, washed and waxed yesterday Ive taken the step and changed to a slightly thicker oil, a 5w40 millers fully synthetic CFS as she is getting on for 83K now, and what a difference its made. Feels alot smoother to drive, can only think it wasnt getting on with the 5w30 anymore. Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly350z Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Not a great deal to talk about, having changed to the 5w40 Ive been doing namely alot of driving! It really has made a positive outcome, it just feels so much nicer to drive. I will say that although the Advan AD08rs are amazing in the dry, there have been some real twitchy bum moments in the wet. Get track Tyres they said! My buddy Louis sorted me out with more cleaning goodies Which Im really looking forward to a clear day to try out. As its been driven alot, I thought Id share some beading action, and to prove it does actually get dirty Did notice the other night while at the garage that my passenger side rocker cover is leaking oil down the back of the engine. Nissan have said its £24 which is cool, can anyone confirm if its a plenum off job to get to and replace the gasket? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 So little bit of an update, long over due! So the last couple of months have been a bit @*!#, to be honest. I left my current job for what I thought would be better, but it turned out to be much, much worse. I lasted a week there before for the first time ever, walking out of a job. So, just over two months of being out of work, scratching around but being determined to get it right it meant no modifcations, no shows, no meets. But this changed as of Tuesday when I landed a job at Yeomans Honda, a literal five minute walk from home so no commuting! I start next Thursday which i cant wait as it means the modifcations can flow again So whats new? Well I managed to pick up a set of neochrome extended wheel nuts from Chris @Tarmac@TarmacSportz Next up the Z had seemed to develop a case of tin worm, which had resulted in this So the bodyshop owed me a favour, so it was off down to them to have the rust sorted, and a freshen up on the doors and bonnet. Was quite surprised with how far gone it had become. They reckon that a pinprick hole had been letting in water and just rusted it out, as youll see below And the finished article Will be pickingit up tomorrow for which Im quite excited! Been a while since I've been able to take it out for a good drive. Lookig forward to what 2018 has to offer, but thats all for now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Wow......that arch rust from a tiny pinprick! Did they say pinprick was from the paint surface or underneath the arch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say pinprick was from the paint surface or underneath the arch? Underneath the arch letting water come in and pool in the corner, causing it to rust. Job for the spring will be all wheels off, scrub the arches and underseal them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 So little uodate to kick 2018 off! Mighty depressing looking at the old pictures and seeing how clean it was, damn you winter! So I got the new nuts fitted, thanks to Chris again It then sat for a bit, while I started the new job at Honda which Im really enjoying! Steep learning curve but its worth it. Its come out recently in the worst weather as they said I could take the car in on a Saturday and do some work. So naturally, snuck it into the Honda workshop... They were exceptionally kind and even re-gassed my aircon system for me free of charge! Ive never had aircon done before but bloody hell! What a difference! So Im still waiting on my first pay check which is burning a monumental hole in my pocketss you can imagine haha! But the plan for January goes like this 1. HR headlights 2. HR / aftermarket bonnet 3. Fix OEM locking. Im excited for a switch up in 2018! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Those nuts look......well....THE NUTS Together with those slotted discs they make the wheels look even more tasty The OEM+ look is definitely a success. Just gave my Nismo rims a clean and seal today and despite having them for 10years I never feel the need for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Looking nice pal, show them Honda folks what real torque looks like!! Previously never went cool aftermarket lung nuts, as id be worried about returning to find the car on bricks. Using the OE locking nuts with flash aftermarket nuts looks wrong to me, so ive had to be boring and stay OE all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest my Zs so low that not even low trolly jacks fit under it without the need for planks of wood, so if they manage to get my wheels off then they're welcome to them Agreed on mixing OE and aftermarket lugs, it would bug the hell out of me! 16 hours ago, HEADPHONES said: Those nuts look......well....THE NUTS Together with those slotted discs they make the wheels look even more tasty The OEM+ look is definitely a success.

I love the nismos but they probably will go in the latter end of this year, I get bored fairly quickly and fancy a change. Something dishy and lower her right down, perhaps even air...

Agree with this, not even a low jack get under mine...planks for the win lol. Loving the build, such a stunner!! Can I ask how the body shop got the DE lights looking so new? Mine are ok but could always be better and I'm personally not a fan of the HR fronts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
