Trev-the-Rev Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Thats a pretty comprehensive list matey You're going to have to keep us up to date with regular pics. Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Im just trying to keep up with TheMinel Quote
toffeeman Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 N15MNO, I have just fitted a K+N Typhoon kit to my Zed and it is awesome!! The sound under hard acceleration is incredible. I'm just finishing off a few other jobs on my Zed and then I'll be posting photos up so you can see it fitted. What sort of BHP gains would you expect to get from the remap? Craig. Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 They think they can get me another 30 hp.. im not so sure, il see what they achieve from the rolling road tests.. just have to wait for it Quote
bigphil Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I have a brand new HKS F-Con IS you can have for £300, you will still need the harness though. Actually have two in stock. DS2500 pads are now reduced to £175 inc delivery Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Thats cool.. il definately be in touch when im ready for this stage.. need to fit steps 1-6 first .. hopefully by next week all parts fitted & new photos any savings i make now will be really appreciated ..ive already spent £2k on extras Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Hiya.. well i kinda like them as they are... did u change yours? what do u suggest? Quote
Sarnie Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Hiya.. well i kinda like them as they are... did u change yours? what do u suggest? Yes I changed mine. IMO the 18's are swallowed by the arches once the nismo kit is added. Some nice 19's with an aggressive offset will bring the wheels out of the arches. If you look at one of your pics, the rear wheels are inside the arches. Mine looked like this: All IMO of course Quote

N15MNO-Daron Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Damn Sarnie.. cant compete with that! Maybe i can just get some wheel spacers..wont these fill out the arches a bit more?? (shud be much cheaper option..) Quote
Digsy Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Damn Sarnie.. cant compete with that! Maybe i can just get some wheel spacers..wont these fill out the arches a bit more?? (shud be much cheaper option..) Get some 19" wheels, mate. Seriously, the photos don't do them justice. Quote

toffeeman Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Bigphil, Do you have to fit uprated / longer bolts / studs due to the extra stress placed upon them because of the 20mm spacers? Craig. Quote
bigphil Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Bigphil, Do you have to fit uprated / longer bolts / studs due to the extra stress placed upon them because of the 20mm spacers? Craig. We only use the hub centric spacers which bolt on to the hub using the existng lugs and the spacer then has it's own new lugs for the wheels. These are specific bore for the 350Z so no spigots to centralise the wheel, absolute perfect fit. We have had them on a numbr of cars and have checked bearings etc with no issues or signs of advanced wear. Quote
polarbear Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 3. Grounding Kit Make me a sensible offer for my 1 year old Spill's kit just about to come off my 05/55 and it's yours. Full colour instructions included. I assume it will fit the JDM but no doubt somebody on here will tell for sure. Cost £62+P&P new. PM me if interested. Keith Quote
