delz0r Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) OK, this is my second build thread. After someone crashing into my Yellow GT4, I went and bought a 2008 Twilight Grey 350Z with the awesome HR engine. Bought standard January 2014 with ~23,000/~37,000KM Miles on the clock. First stop was a good clean. I picked up some fresh number plates as the originals looked tired. Added LED bulbs all round( Interior, license plate bulbs, sidelights) HKS SuperHybrid Panel Filter 01/2014 Sony XAV601BT Head Unit + Reversing Camera Installed. 02/2014 Nismo Titanium Gear Knob 380RS Accelerator Pedal 04/2014 Massive Service and brake upgrade. - Motul 8100 Engine Oil - K&N Oil Filter - Denso Iridium Spark Plugs - Genuine Nissan Manual Gearbox fluid - Diff. fluid (Viscous) VLSD Genuine Nissan - PAS fluid Genuine Nissan - Brake fluid Motul RBF 600 - Clutch fluid Motul RBF 600 - Full coolant change - Bosch Aerotwin - Ferrodo DS2500 Pads, front and rear. - Hosetechnik SS brake and clutch lines. Full Exterior Detail - Fully decontaminated - Clay Barred - Polished using EP801 rotary with 3M pads and Menzerna Polishes - Sealed with Carlack Long Life Sealant - Waxed with Victoria Concours Wax 05/2014 Wheels refurbed - Slightly brighter than OEM with added metallic flake. 08/2014 4 Wheel alignment done. 2 x Michelin Pilot Super Sports for rear. Very impressed with these tyres: - Reduced tyre roar over the Potenza RE50As - Amazing grip even in the wet - They look great I've been keeping the protection topped up with Victoria Collectors Wax since the detail and it's still looking great. 01/2015 OK so I've had this car a year now. Still loving it and just dropped another €1809 for another years tax. - Bonnet dampers fitted - Winter protection detail in November - P1 service in December - Amber reflectors replaced with clear Edited January 2, 2015 by delz0r 3 Quote

hensh65 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Did your HR come with the GT4 wheels or did you nab them before you got rid of it? 1 Quote
delz0r Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Did your HR come with the GT4 wheels or did you nab them before you got rid of it? These wheels came as standard on Irish 350Zs 2006+. 1 Quote
Jp606 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Looking good. What are your plans for it? Definitely the fastest colour and engined Z Edited February 4, 2014 by Jp606 2 Quote
delz0r Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Looking good. What are your plans for it? Definitely the fastest colour and engined Z Definitely . I'm not planning anything major but I've plenty on the list already. Change all fluids and do the spark plugs in the next 3 months. Machine polish to remove swirls when the weather picks up. Fix rattle in the boot area, it appears to be from a broken clip on the boot hatch trim. Tint rear quarter windows and possibly tint the orange front reflectors. I have an Invidia Gemini sitting in the garage that I bought for the GT4 but never around to fitting it. Braided brake lines and Ferrodo DS2500 pads. Nismo Titanium gear knob. 380RS Accelerator Pedal. Edited February 4, 2014 by delz0r 1 Quote
magicayrton Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Very nice, I have a December 07 350Z HR too, it has 15,000 miles on it, already fitted Invidia Exhaust and Cosworth filters. Hope you keep this thread updated! Cheers. 1 Quote

Hope you keep this thread updated! Cheers. Thanks dude. This is random, I've been continuously watching your exhaust clips on youtube the last month. I have an Invidia Gemini just haven't got around to fitting it yet. Quote
delz0r Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Main post updated with Nismo Titanium gear knob and 380RS accelerator pedal. Quote
Steely Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Very nice, looks brand new! Does the 380RS Accelerator Pedal bring it to the same level as the break pedal? 1 Quote
delz0r Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Very nice, looks brand new! Does the 380RS Accelerator Pedal bring it to the same level as the break pedal? Thanks dude. No, it doesn't affect the height of the pedal. It feels more solid because it's wider and obviously its way easier to heel toe. I'd definitely recommend it, great cheap upgrade! Quote
Davectr Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 That looks very nice, love the colour. Looks very good condition 1 Quote

rabbitstew Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Wow. My old 2007 HR was the same colour and seeing yours reminds me of how awesome mine looked when washed and polished. Such an awesome colour. 1 Quote
delz0r Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah, the colour really comes to life once it has a bit of wax on it. Quote
Payco Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Is it twighlight grey or gunmetal ?. Looks like gunmetal to me. Payco Quote
