andysmee Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 not very exciting, but new number plates went on yesterday, did away with the plinth, although the front number plate points upwards slightly more than I'd like, and built a mount for my phone immediately in front of the sat nav screen using a brodit holder and ball joint...and finally, ripped off the sat nav remote holder so I don't hit my funny bone any more! Happy New Year All! 1 Quote
350 Russ Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Its not really a mod but I spent this morning changing my cam cover to fix the oil leak, cleaning both upper and lower plenums and the throttle body. I've eaten my dinner off of dirtier plates! Cant beat a bit of preventative maintenance. She's purring like a kitten now. Heres a bit of a 50/50 Ive got a set of rear LED lights on their way to me, I was hoping they would have been here today but nothing yet. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

andysmee Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) the following parts will be left over today: Motordyne number plate surrounds, Motordyne window stickers and the Motordyne "Beat the ticket" book (anyone got a friend in the US that might want it?). Clue: I recorded some audio this morning so that I can compare ;-) EDIT: just confirmed no increase in premium :-D Edited January 3, 2014 by andysmee Quote
andysmee Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 omfg omfg it's insane...never had a smile on my face like that at 20mph first it's a bit like a horn and I'm thinking it's a bit rude but then you open a little more and it hits a second set of harmonics, and then you open full wot and it sings like a gang of bikes...then you lift off and it pops and bangs, but cruising it's...silent can't wait to drive home Quote

I was lucky as my lovely sister bought me 501 LED's for Christmas so I did it then. Quote

GMballistic Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) You can get bulb kits from this member here if you're interested Zeus; http://www.350z-uk.c...-led-bulb-kits/ ...and according to another member on here the interior festoon bulbs are 31mm (although haven't changed mine yet). EDIT: Good luck Dunks. Edited January 4, 2014 by GMballistic Quote

Apparently the teins are a different kettle of fish & require the removal of the covers & surrounding trim to make them fit. Edited January 4, 2014 by Bems Quote

Apparently the teins are a different kettle of fish & require the removal of the covers & surrounding trim to make them fit. From what I understand the Tein kit fits in the same way but they just require a small amount of plastic removed from the cover just like in the guide when it mentions re-using the original wing bolt. Like the picture below; From this thread; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/8589-tein-bonnet-dampers/ Quote
ZEUS Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I think with the teins you just have to cut a section out of the cover where the bolt sits Quote
