Kaveney Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Thought I would do a little build thread as I have had the car from September 2014 . My last car was m Rev 3 Mr2 Turbo ( link below) that did love but have all ways wanted a 350Z . http://www.pistonhea...c.asp?t=1389674 Got the car in Billingshurst in September 2014 How it was when I got it in (August 2014) Drove it with the plan on not touching or changing anything on it at all only service it . So changed the oil, gear box oil and Diff oil (September 2014) Along with some new Iridium spark pugs (September 2014) Then the last spend new AC and AUX belts (September 2014) That was going to be all I was going to do Buttttttttt it was never going to happen One week later parts arrived . K & N Typhoon was first (September 2014) Along with a H/D plenum spacer (September 2014) Then after a few weeks my rad fan stopped working (September 2014) Old unit out New Mishimoto in Some CREE LED side lights and some molly slip for the gear box (October 2014) Next was some new wiper blades (October 2014) And a new short aerial (October 2014) Headlight adjust next (October 2014) Then for the end of the month fuel sender (October 2014) The plan was then to have some HFC and a Y pipe and then have the Uprev all done at Abbey Motorsport (November 2014) Y pipe HFC And Uprev all done Low numbers to start with but good gains in the end . This little lot was a fair few £ so for the rest of the month all that was done was a LED number plate change (November 2014) Edited April 21, 2015 by Kaveney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveney Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Got a engine torque damper delivered form the USA on Friday Fitting was ok but space was tight . All in with earth bracket connected . There is slightly more noise / vibration in the cabin but nothing that you can feel to much . Throttle response feels a little more quicker more so in the lower gears .

Kaveney Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Very nice bud, Quick question - How did you find the seafoam? Worth doing? For £ 20 for x 2 bottles on Ebay I think so . I put one n the fuel tank 3/4 in the oil ( ran for 100 miles ) and the last bit in the crank but only a little . Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
