Welcome aboard.

Think you might need more than the Dremel to get through that metal, ...double skinned if I remember correctly. Although in saying that my Dremel's pretty hardcore with the fiberglass reinforced cutting discs. You could always cut two slits a few inches apart and then maybe use a hammer & round bar to persuade the metal out of the way. Could be all the clearance you'd ever need. If you do anything like that though make sure to think it through carefully first & get some pictures too if you do it as it may help other Vortech charged Zed owners out.

I found it was all about the angle you attack it at. If I'd have known how difficult it was prior to having the charger fitted though, then I'd have cut a piece of metal off the side of the inner wing in order to make getting the dipstick in & out easier.

I have to be honest and say when I did this on my old s/c Zed I found it a flippin' nightmare. Not exactly hard to do just awkward as f**k. Chris B took some good pictures that may help you out when he did his. Post n# 284 onwards: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86592-precious-got-a-supercharger/page__st__280

The only thing I don't like about the Focus RS is that it's a fwd, ...really should have been 4wd imo. Especially with it being a turbo car which you can extract some great power levels from. In saying that though my mate used to have a standard Focus 2 Ltr and it handled like it was on rails going round the corners so fwd's not all that bad.

You're welcome and let us know how you get on. Hopefully you'll get them off without too much hassle/expense.

It can vary. Some are secured using original mountings, some need holes drilling and some are just glued or adhesive tape fixed in place. Plenty of options from the traders on here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ Or if you google it (for example): http://www.epracing.co.uk/index.php/body-kits/aero-kits/nissan/350z/711/spoilers.html Some related threads: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/61020-with-or-without-spoiler/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63754-to-nismo-spoiler-or-not-to-nismo-spoiler/ If you have a look at some of the Zeds on here in the build threads section maybe it'll give you some inspiration. The Nismo V2 spoiler is pretty popular and that'll give you the gap you like or maybe you might like a BGW as some members do. That's "Big Gay Wing" btw (not hating, that's just what they're called).

I know, it's do annoying. I don't know I kind of got into it. Much better than the auctioneer on "Storage Hunters" anyway.

Good news Kieran, ...let us know when it's gone and we'll lock the thread for you.

It does look like a Veilside spoiler but not sure really how you'd go about fixing that especially if you're missing a part. Looks like the fixings have completely ripped out of the top part so its not going to be an easy fix unless maybe you could reattach the fixings using an epoxy filler maybe?!. Personally I'd be looking at maybe replacing the whole lot. Lots of options with spoilers as well so you could really put your own spin on what you want the Zed to look like. Personally I really like the duck tail type spoilers (as below). Try some of the traders on here (all in the Professional Traders section) for your spoiler options if you do decide to get new rather than repair. Good luck.

Fair few drifters on here, ..amateur and the not so amateur like Bizz. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/72723-bizzs-ls3-62l-v8-350z-drift-car-project-it-can-drift/

Don't know if I'd want to be 17 again, maybe 20 something again but just as long as I knew everything I know now and still earned the same. As far as the cars go I guess I see what you're trying to do as I agree with you that it would be such a shame to strip your Zed down to turn it into a drift car. It's far too nice to do that imo. Trust me though when I say you will sorely miss your supercharged Zed if you sell it, ...I know I do mine.

Welcome aboard. No need for two threads though so merged. Lots of members attend JapFest with a forum stand also being there as well as traders. Pros ~ Massive event with on track action (drifting/demonstrations/public track time), traders, all sorts of Jap cars & more. Con ~ Very busy. Link: http://www.japfest.co.uk/whats-on-at-the-event

Welcome aboard.

I really like the look of that and the sound from the exhausts/engine is lovely. The only things I don't really like are the alloys (you could change them though) and those wing vents. I think the front end of that car has a great aggressive look to it imo, ...looks pretty mean, almost pi**ed off.

Definitely sad news. RIP Terry.

Vlad I know nothing about the S14's so can't comment on there worthyness etc, ...but I was in a similar situation to you last year and as you know I sold my Zed in order to increase my "free cash" available to me whilst I bought our house/moved/furnished it etc. It's a difficult decision getting rid of a car you've spent so much time, money & love on so only you can make the decision whether it's right or wrong to get rid of it but imo if you're doing it for the reasons I think you are then you need really to get a downgrade car for a year or two. Not a 400bhp+ modified car that in your own words you know little about so could go wrong so fast & end up costing you big money to repair. It doesn't have to be a 1.2 litre sh*t box downgrade car though Vlad as there are plenty of quick cars (hot hatches/saloons/coupes etc) out there which would still put a smile on your face during a spirited drive and be reliable enough not to cost you much cash whilst you moved house & saved for a better car. Just my 2 pence mate.

Sorry ragtop looks like you missed out on these. Sold - thread locked

Don't worry, ....I'm sure everyone on here will still call you Krazie.

Same, ...I have no idea why you see the Transformers badge being put on cars at all. I would say maybe it's something the cool people are doing but as I'm one of the cool guys, ...I'm guessing it's geek related.
