  1. It's always going to be down to personal preference in the end. Lots of choices usually revolving around style (slash cut, straight cut, rolled tips, burnt colour tips etc etc) and the material type (stainless steel, titanium, carbon fibre etc etc). Aren't those welded on though on your backbox? I know the Ark & Invidia tips are removable/adjustable but didn't think the Cobra ones were that's all. If it's bolted on as you say then can you not re-tighten the bolt to stop the rattle or do you fancy changing the tips anyway?
  2. Some cars you can understand being worth the extra, holding value or even going up in value but those I just don't get it. People definitely are idiots you're right.
  3. ^^ That without a doubt. I have one I made from an old telescopic map pointer pen which I glued a small round magnet to but you could also make one using an old R/C car remote controller aerial with a small magnet super glued to that although they're cheap enough to buy obviously, ...I just like making things.
  4. Another car that falls into the " I wish I had kept it category"! i wish i bought it instead of the Z kinda back in 2012 i could get one for around 6-8k now for a clean one as above your heading towards 20k That's just ridiculous though imo. Fairly poor to average performance by todays standards & not even 4WD which would have made it even better. Why are those going for so much money nowadays do you have an idea? Just because of it being an "RS" badged car? Are they rare?

    Cars looking great Coldel and just left you a comment on Youtube as well. Great work.
  6. I guess if it does end up bugging you that much a competent garage or exhaust place could tack a couple of welds on each tailpipe to allow you to ditch the bolts. I agree with you looking at the pictures above that it isn't the best. I had an Invidia though so it was never a problem for me as that uses stainless steel clamps which are hidden from view. Enjoy the new exhaust.
  7. You might want to send this member a PM (private message) as he hasn't been active on here since the last quarter of July (26th to be precise). In case you don't know, if you hover your cursor arrow over his username you will see the "send message" icon pop up, click on it which will then let you send him a PM on here but it will also send a notification to his private email account. Might get more luck with an answer that way.
  8. Welcome aboard & good luck with looking for a Zed. It's probably in the buyers guide but have a good look for rust around the rear arches/petrol flap as it's a very common area for rust to occur and can be difficult to sort. The rest is just the same as buying any other used car. Make sure good service history, well maintained, oil topped up etc. If you can ascertain if its owner has always used super unleaded that's always for the better.
  9. all back together working mint .there was an error on the second link (how to reassemble) but i figured it out .cheers GM Great news wilo. Oh and yes that link I gave you was from a US 350Z forum so it may have been handed the opposite way. Tbh I didn't even think of that till you just mentioned it. Still glad you got it figured out.
  10. No problem Wilo and if you follow the guide in that link I added you shouldn't go wrong. Good luck.
  11. Been looking for you but hard to exactly find the sort of guide or thread you're after. Side view of a cubby lid below (unsure of year or model of Zed) From this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/61154-installing-tabletsatnav-into-normal-350z-cubby/ Actually just found this thread: http://my350z.com/forum/body-interior-exterior-and-lighting-diy/575663-diy-cubby-door-assembly-springs-pictures-included.html ^^ Think that might be what you need. Did that do it?
  12. Sorry to see your mates car like that, ...an S2000 by the looks of it. He must be gutted. Bet it was an interesting ride in the Navara round some of those turns on the ring.
  13. More info in this thread Greg. Link: http://www.350z-uk.c...ht-in-the-boot/ Counter weight/resonance damper in the boot just fyi. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Vh6JroLac&feature=youtu.be
  14. For goodness sake don't ever ring anyone whilst sounding like that as you'll end up on a sex offenders register before you know it.
  15. Bet that's awesome, ...no room for kids though with Mummy & Daddy in it. Although maybe that is the plan.
  16. my mind has gone into hyperdrive :teeth: If it was what your dirty mind is probably thinking of I would have said best & not the worst. ^^ Yep that and texting. Oh and when I say texting I mean using both hands, eyes down & driving with her elbows.
  17. That's actually not the worst thing I've seen a woman doing whilst driving at high speed, ...is that bad?!
  18. Definitely seen one or two of those videos on here before Stu, ...can't seem to find them now though so no idea where they are? *hang on* Just found one of them. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105016-used-350z-buyers-video-guide-common-issues/ RyanT did them.
  19. I did have Berks HFC's on my old 350Z albeit with an Invidia Gemini system & not a Nismo system but I never found it to be raspy imo. One thing though I'd say most likely if you're going to put HFC's on I'd imagine your EML will come on at some point whatever brand you go with. People I know have tried various means & methods but still the only sure fire way is to have the car remapped (UpRev) at some point switching off the EML/secondary O2 sensors for good.
