Kezman999 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi there, So I've posted on a few feeds and have been online for a couple of months now, thought it would be a good time to start the project thread. I bought the 2005 Nissan 350Z GT4 in Ultra-Yellow in January 2014 with 68,000 miles on the clock. As soon as I test drove the car back in December I knew I would have to go back and make the purchase. The ride, the power, the noise, and the colour all were massive selling points. After a quick clean and a cheeky stubby ariel purchase, me and a fellow Jap-car enthusiast took the cars out for a few snaps. Here you can see the car as I got it, pretty much stock, the only thing I believe that has changed since production is the alloys have been painted black, they will need a refurb at some point in the future. Other plans for the future include: Private Plates (From Previous Car), Small lighting adjustments, Engine bay, cleaned and tidied up, Double din head unit, Front Splitter, Rear Diffuser, Rear Wing. Then who knows, Suspension, spacers, wheels, exhaust? Here are some shots of the car before the project starts: I look forward to getting to know you guys better, and learning more about the 350Z and sharing ideas and suggestions with everyone. Comments are more than welcome! Thanks, Keiran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evest Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think yellow is a great base colour for pimping up the engine bay - loads of potential in there - perhaps some matching hoses, re-spray the battery and power steering covers, and engine cover (yellow with black mustang stripes works for me!) etc... and polish than plenum!!!! Good luck with the project mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezman999 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for all the positive comments guys, really appreciate it. It's tough trying to do anything to it in this weather and as it is my daily too, I can't have it out of action for too long at any one point, however, a few little things, and a couple of slightly bigger things are changing soon!

Kezman999 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Again, thanks for all the comments really appreciate it. So I have had the car for about 2 months now, and have started to get a few things changed over to how I wanted them to be. First things first, I wanted to make it my car with my previous plates from my old car, as well as this I added gloss black badges instead of the chrome ones which were on there, 100 times better!! (Cheeky angle showing my mates R34 GTT too) I have also changed the stock Bose one with my Sony Touchscreen Double-Din. Looks smart and sits nicely in place: More updates to come pretty soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezman999 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Newest update: So my next update was a little bit bigger! I went for a new Front Splitter and Rear Diffuser from RT Performance. They we really helpful and managed to get the parts delivered very quickly. I then found a local body shop to paint them in a Gloss Black finish and fit the parts to the 350. The results, I'm very happy with the car looks so much more aggressive and really is starting to take shape on how I want it to look. Thoughts and opinions welcome! Splitter Diffuser And to match all the new gloss black body parts, I removed the door handles and had them sprayed gloss black too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Looks great. Really like the front splitter and the painted door handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 like it.. yellow and black cant go wrong... How does the 350 compare to that skyline? same speedish or? I saw that gtt on skylineowners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) nice colour contrast - never liked the standard door handle colour it's one of the things that attracted me to my GT4. http://www.350z-uk.c...20#entry1066649 Edited March 8, 2014 by KUGT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezman999 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks guys! Yellow and Black, can't go wrong you're right. Simple but effective I thought. Not really tested the Skyline yet, but a cheeky little trip and I was quite happily keeping up. He's got big plans for it though so I can imagine he'll be out running me soon enough!

Jimmy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Beautiful looking Zed you have there mate! You can't go wrong with the colour yellow, one of the best colours on a Zed IMO Edited March 12, 2014 by Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I love your car, always faniced a yellow 350Z or S2K. The colour really suits the car and the contrasting black looks fantastic mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezman999 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) A few cheeky updates over this weekend to keep you up-to-date. Over the last couple of months I've been in communication with Nissan about finding out what number of 176 my 350Z GT4 was, after finding out 87 was the magic number we went about trying to get a new plaque to replace the old one. Well, finally, it all got sorted out, and here it is! As well as fitting my new 87/176 GT4 Plaque I have spent this weekend fitting my new Carbon Fibre Gas Struts for the bonnet, really do look smart!
