  1. Welcome aboard & good luck with your Zed hunt. Pictures of your old cars always welcome btw.
  2. Now that would be very cool.
  3. Moved to the correct area for you Op. Looking very good & love those alloys.
  4. No problem and good luck with the Zed hunt.
  5. The other thing I did thing it could be is that if you had an aftermarket alarm system sometimes they'll have a switch to turn off the interior sensors. That way you can leave the alarm on with a pet or something in the car & it won't set off the alarm. Just another idea.
  6. Honestly Squee I think I'd try to sell it, possibly just give it away to a Museum or similar place that might be interested in displaying it. It wouldn't be something I'd want in my house personally but some people like that sort of thing so you might get some cash for it. You could always give the cash to an animal charity then if you wanted to or simply keep it for yourself.
  7. In that case it could be anything, ...undercar neons, front strobes behind the grill, gate/garage door opener, machine guns, oils slick etc etc. Okay the last two suggestions were a bit tongue in cheek, but could be any of the rest.
  8. As Veilside z said welcome aboard and have a look here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/51-zeds-for-sale/
  9. As funny as your accidental spelling mistake was Banz I thought I better edit the title for you in this instance just to make it easier for other members to search for should they have the same query. Not sure many Zed owners would be searching for "pooping exhaust" you see.
  10. Very cool but needs more opposite lock.... Okay I admit it that picture is of me losing control whilst driving around the Nurburgring on Gran Turismo (PS4).
  11. I get doing the outside of exhaust tips & the lips but I wouldn't waste your time doing the inside imo. As Science_GT above mentioned it will get constantly battered with build up so a waste of time really. I'd recommend Autosol the same as Colin did.
  12. Locked at the request of the Op. Have fun in the Zed whilst it's still yours Has.
  13. Having a spare tyre is not a requirement of the MOT although if you do have one it must have a legal amount of tread on it. I have never known of any MOT tester who actually looked for a spare tyre, let alone checked the tread on one. Just go without either if it's what you want to do but imo it couldn't hurt to carry a small can of the tyre sealant though just in case of emergency (last resort).
  14. I've owned a few cars that only came with a can of sealant I might remove my spare and just buy a can instead. A few of the S3's I looked at didn't have spare tyres & I know my brothers old Clio 182 as well as his current Mini Cooper only have the tyre sealant cans. The downside is though that the sealant won't work if you've ripped a hole out of the sidewall of the tyre or similar and I'm pretty sure once you've used that stuff in a tyre it can't be repaired afterwards.
  15. There was a thread on here somewhere I'm sure for putting the weights of items removed from the Zeds to gauge weight saving. Can't find it though sorry. Did find this US thread though: http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/173-nissan-350z/43845-weight-reduction-thread.html Makes for an interesting read although you will have to convert lbs to kgs if you're like me & find it easier to understand. They quote the spare tyre as weighing in at 35lbs which is 15+kg so I was pretty much on the money there with my guess for how much that weighed.
  16. You might actually find this thread from djtimo the most interesting tbh: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/48146-stripped-the-rear-boot-area-out-pics/ Exactly though, ...as long as you're careful with parts/clips etc it can all go back in. I'd guess the spare wheel alone is probably 10-15kg so you should be able to make a reasonable weight saving overall.
  17. No idea but a few on here have gone and done it before. Djtimo being a good example: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84366-my-little-weekend-project/page__st__60 Some threads touching on the subject: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/72534-boot-strip/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53017-weight-reduction-any-advice/
  18. Sounds promising, ...fingers crossed he's still got some left for Hudders then.
  19. Think those lifetime warranties are only covered if he is the original purchaser of the system/exhaust back box. Lots of those "lifetime" warranties/guarantees are the same. Eg: Non transferable He did just say he got his from Mitz who is a trader on here, ...The Cougar Store. Maybe best to give him a PM or phone call to see if he can help. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/94-cougar-store/ Website: http://cougarstore.co.uk/ Failing that you could always try a custom exhaust place like "Longlife" for example as they will have plenty of different style tips that they could simply weld onto your Cobra box. Just another alternative.
  20. Can't find it but I know I weighed my old one when I removed it from my Zed and as Kyle said it was just over a Kilo. Think it was 1.2kg with the bolts.
  21. Some stainless steels are magnetic still though but if not then there is also the other option of the "Silverline pick up tool" which Lexx suggested. Source: http://www.bssa.org.uk/faq.php?id=24
