grahamc Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Sadly no pics today detailer was too busy. Has fixed the headlights engine bay has come up a treat, the exterior looks very good and the not to mention the interior Highly recommend the detailer, not sure I can post links like that. Will get some photos sorted!! We are very very happy with the results. Exhaust got worse this evening so definitely need to get this sorted. Quote
grahamc Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 The nice clean headlights:- And now the crappy photos thanks to my iphone cover Quote
ilogikal1 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Plenum aside, the engine bay looks much better. Some nice beading in that first picture too. Quote

grahamc Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Dropped the car off at Abbey Motorsport last night. They have the car for at least 2 weeks to get a couple of things sorted while I go on holiday!! Quote
samsniss350z Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Not that I'm a fan of huge wheels but those 17"s look dinky in the wheel well. I hope you enjoy your holiday and no doubt your Zed upon your return. Quote

I hope you enjoy your holiday and no doubt your Zed upon your return. Will be on the list to change after winter.... but for now they will do fine Thanks!!! Quote
grahamc Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Just picked up the car from Abbey thanks Mark and Scott!! Much better with the exhaust fixed (along with all the other little things) Next, I need to get it dyno'd so I know what the starting point is.... feels a little sluggish if Im honest.

grahamc Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 370z brakes on order just waiting to collect - this weekend and pricing up some Rota 18" wheels since my current front tyres are shot and the 17" wheels wont fit over the brakes. Quote
Pete87 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Gtr-d's would look sweet mate, any further decisions on an exhaust? Quote
grahamc Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Gtr-d's would look sweet mate, any further decisions on an exhaust? exhaust is on hold.... my ypipe got welded and that fixed the issue. Going to wait and see if its worth spending money on the engine or go for something a little more silly Quote
grahamc Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 370z brakes arrived yesterday - very well packed, thank you R35LEE!!! Items were posted before payment sent as we could not meet as originally thought and with Christmas didnt want to miss the last postage. Sent at 1800 on Monday and received before 1300 the next day Next, wheels in January.... 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Very nice grahamc. Great Christmas present for the Zed. Quote
grahamc Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 After not feeling the 350z love for the first few months of ownership and posting a for sale ad, I have finally started to feel the love. The road aspect of the car is still not to my taste, but after doing an intro to drifting there is a spark.... so, will stick with the 350z for a little longer. Currently have the 370z brakes. Collecting some coilovers over the weekend and will be ordering some wheels soon. Hoping that this helps with the road characteristics a little and makes the car more fun for drifting and some track days. Quote
grahamc Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 So the 350z is booked in for the end of April with Sly for a few changes:- BC coilovers 370z brakes all round Rota wheels (from Tarmac) and hopefully an exhaust if I can find one. 1 Quote
R35LEE Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 You finally getting my 370 brakes fitted then Graham? 1 Quote
grahamc Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 You finally getting my 370 brakes fitted then Graham? looking like it got the front caliper block so all sorted on the brake front. Just the wheels left.... 1 Quote
grahamc Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 Well dropped the car off at sly... He has it for 3 weeks maybe more should be rather different once I get it back Quote
grahamc Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Seems like Sly needed a little longer, so I am collecting the tomorrow Looking forward to this!! And dropping off the GTR at the same time. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Seems like Sly needed a little longer, so I am collecting the tomorrow Looking forward to this!! And dropping off the GTR at the same time. If you can't wait until tomorrow, I'm willing to hand over my Z in exchange for your GTR tonight. 1 Quote

grahamc Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 Cars successfully swapped over. New brakes are rather good New exhaust adds a lot more noise, maybe a touch too much, but will see New suspension fair bit better New wheels, need spacers on the rear But well impressed!!! Quote
