Sorry folks as I anticipated i screwed up my first attempt to link photo bucket to this post. Hope this now works.. http://s842.photobucket.com/user/martinpackham/library/ Payco

Hi all. I hope the above link works, however if when the post is uploaded it doesnt i will try again as this is my debut on photobucket. The Story So Far I purchased my 2004 Gun metal coupe in April 2012 from a private ad in Pistonheads. The car had 28,000 miles on it and had been very well cared for. The only mods at that stage was a carbon wrapped bonnet, mirrors, front grill and tinted rear windows. First up was to fit my private plate : PA04YCO. My nickname is Payco.. I soon found the forum and that was that... I made contact with Wasso late summer time and in November made the 175 mile drive upto Brum to meet the Polishing Wizzard and Guru at which point we swapped my plenum and strut bar for polished (Wasso) ones. Soon after followed a Berk polished intake tube and the JWT Pop charger (from Tarmac), By now the engine bay had taken my interest. During that Winter I spent many hours with my dremel polishing as much as I could (its still not finished today). With Wassos help we managed to source a brand new ARC oil catch can (rare as rocking horse muck) and paid a small fortune for it from a private seller in Texas. Polished fluid caps (ztoyz), blue grounding kit, blue Samco hoses, bonnet dampers, new Gusco strut bar all followed to get the bay to where it is today. Wheel spacers were fitted to fill the arches in between the Winter and new year.. Next up was my schedule of work with RT in Oct this year..There is a full build thread under RT Performance.. RT did a great job as always. The job spec was : Paint the roof gloss piano black, supply and fit Chargespeed rear bumper,delete rear wiper, fit my new Tarmac Sports side diffusers (carbon wrapped by Zippypoos), fit RT Mines copy CF front lip, re-spray front bumper, carbon wrap door switch control covers. Next Phase Next up is to order some 19 inch Rota GTRs, silver,polished lip from Cougastore in the next couple of weeks and fit the extended Mitek neo chrome nuts I have waiting for them. That's it for now...Just want to also put on record what a great community this is. So many of you have either helped me directly or offered advice to get me where i am today which I am very appreciative of. Any feedback will be appreciated.. Keep driving safely. Payco

Not my choice, but each to their own. Good luck getting them. Payco

Hi all, i hope the link below works but please cut me some slack if it doesnt becaUse i am having issues uploading stuff on here. I am selling my rear wiper and motor assembly as i have had it deleted by RT Performance when my z was there recently. Its off my 2006 coupe and is in A1 condition. No bubbling on the arm/blade etc. £65 delivered. Thanks Payco

No, i was one of the people who purchased a carbon one as part of the group buy. Think i paid £350 for mine. I have seen the FRP one in the flesh and it is just as nice just doesnt have the carbon look. I guess it depends on your budget. I am delighted with mine, finishes the front of the car perfectly. If you want to see some photos then PM me your e-mail address as i am having issues loading photos on the forum.. Payco

Thanks, just curious. Still planning on purchasing some Rota GTRs from you the week after next. Payco

Have any 350z forum members ran or are running 370z rims on their 350 ?. Any photos would be appreciated. Am I correct in saying the rears would be fine but the fronts would need spacers ?. Any other issues running them ?. Payco

Try the FRP one at £200. Exactly the same just different finish. I have the carbon one fitted but have seen them both when my car was with them recently. Payco

The Mines copies at RT arent £400.00. Payco

Get the mines copy from RT, you can choose between a FRP one and Carbon. Great fit and look. Payco

Mines copy lips availabe from RT Performance. I have a carbon one which looks fantastic. Payco

Thanks Guys. I have the stock spare which came with the car so its sounds like i will be fine. Yes, my near mint Rays will be for sale in a couple of weeks, however Zippypoos has first dibs on them. If he changes his mind they will go on the forum. Thanks again Payco

Hope I am not going to make an idot of myself asking this question... I am just about to replace my RAYS with 19's. Do i need to source a 19 inch spare wheel or will i still be able to fit the stock 18 spare and get home on it safely ?. What have those that of you that have fitted 19s done ?. Thanks as always Payco

Get a Stubby from Redline or Tarmac. Payco

PM sent re the rims. PAYCO

Just had a copy fitted by RT and its transformed the look of the car. This original is a great price from Ian and whoever buys it is one lucky owner. GLWTS. PAYCO

East Grinstead High Street lunchtime today. Anyones on here ? Payco

No worries. Feel free to join in. Payco

Having issues uploading images. Try looking for Linea Dyna Corse Hyper Silver rims on google images. Great Rim. Few members have them its just they have become very hard to source. Payco

Thanks. I have been speaking to CS about putting up a Group Buy for some Linea Dyna Corse rims which are superb but we need 10 forum members for them to do a deal. I will be first on the list if anyone wants to follow. Alternative is some Rota's but i love the Linea Dyna's. Prob is you just cant get hold of them. Thanks for all the opinions Payco

Thanks all will follow your advice. Payco

In fear of mentioning the S***G word again and getting beaten up can someone draft out the ideal process for cleaning the z without a snow foam. IE Products and exquipment. Would be good to see as i am self taught. Payco

Ok, thanks. Will keep in touch as per our PM's. Payco

OK, I am ready to move on to the next phase with my car - The Rims. Plan is to replace the OEM Rays with Rota's 19x10 ET20 Rear and 19x8.5 ET15 front. Pretty sure i will need to remove and sell my spacers with this set up but confirmation would be good. Can someone tell me if the handling of the car is going to noticeably change running 19's. I like the feel of the car currently and dont want to comprimise it going to 19's. Is there any upside (apart from looks) or downside. Thanks all Payco
