Hello to all.Recently purchased my first Jap car in the form of a 2004 350z in azure blue with a full nismo kit, and I absolutely love it. Coming from a astra vxr then a focus st, I can honestly say this is twice the fun already. Here is is when I bought it (and fell in love)IMG_0843_zpsed1c74ac.jpgIMG_0844_zps67e11377.jpgSo got her home and straight up on to the ramps to have a look at what I had got my self into. Fitted some jap speed decats at the same time.

 

 

Gave it a decent wash and took some pics on the lawn to take advantage of a nice dayIMG_1195_zps9b00c676.jpgIMG_0876_zpscd1317fb.jpgIMG_0871_zps99ca4bbb.jpgNext was to fit my plate.IMG_1198_zpsed79a31d.jpgThen I had a day free and set about a proper clean, first a wash with the 2 bucket technique, full clay bar treatment then Canuba gold wax for a little photo shoot with one of my dads collections, next on the "have a picture with" is my race car, Mercedes CL63 AMG, Chevy Bel-Air and a couple of my dads other old american cars. 946518_10200550119888749_1115180356_n_zps0eef21ad.jpg1013759_10200550120448763_107806032_n_zpsa09d144f.jpg11484_10200550119488739_229753744_n_zps3eb9e86d.jpg

Decided to go for a custom carbon for the interior, blue azure B pillars and rear badge with a carbon through it and that should be done tomorrow.

 

In other news to say I'm excited is an understatement, just ordered a full ARK exhaust system from the states with the help or Tarmac :)

Also had my B pillars and rear badge dipped with the nissan azure blue base with a carbon overlay, not a fan of it so these will be in the for sale section soon enough.

Pretty big update as I haven't for a while.

 

I sold my lmgt4's so I have been running standard wheels for a while until I mad my decision on the wheel I wanted.

also bought a cobra exhaust and didnt really like it that much.

sssoooooo

 

I got in contact with Chris (Tarmac) on here and he was extremely helpful with my decision on exhaust. I opted for the Ark Grip true dual from the US of A.

The exhaust was at my door in 4 days which seemed silly quick. Rapidly opened it up and fell in love.

Un boxing pics

Just want to say another massive thank you to Tarmac on here, extremely well priced and a pleasure to deal with.

As for the exhaust I absolutely cannot recommend it enough, the sound is jaw dropping and it really does look something special.

Now onto the wheels that I have been making my mind up over for agessss.

I finally saw them on the gtr forums a set of Varetoens 19" by 10.5 and 9.5 in matt black.

Also got some d1 nuts in red then decided against it as they were just rubbish in my opinion and bought some tpr race dark neo chrome ones.

shall let the pics do the talking.

decided I hated the fitment of the tyres as the rears were running on 305 45 19 which was just hugggeeeee ad you can see, so I put the fronts on the backs then bought a new set of fronts to give a slight stretch. Looks much better

Another update and another Chris to thank, this form the the form of DRL's (cs2000)

I thought this would be just a subtle small update but fair play I LOVE IT, transforms the complete front end of the car tbh.

I changed from the tinted original ones i had to these and love that there is no orange in them

Again very easy transaction with Chris and would recommend to everyone.
