To be honest i think the photo has caught the light badly, they definitely arent that bright in person.

She might have been ok if she kept her head against the head rest!

Correction work as well as protection? What coating did you opt for? (I'm just being nosey. ) Yeah, its had a 2 stage machine polish. It was the autoglym lifeshine but the carbon shield one.

LED sidelights at night, they are quite bright...

A place called shropshine, they are mobile and also have a unit. Based in telford i think.

Ill have to get some better pictures when the sun comes out again! It cost me £249 with a 5 year protective coating.

Out of interest which HFC?

Never mind, i just figured it out! Cheers

Its a youtube video

Cheers guys, dont suppose anyone knows why my video wont embed, it does on the post preview then disappears when i press submit?

I also changed the standard wheels for a set of rays Before After

Recently i have fitted a new slave cylinder, changed the sidelights to some much brighter LED's and had it detailed! New slave cylinder - along with this i bled the clutch and changed the fluid. Feels a lot more like a clutch should now That being said its still on the original clutch so a new clutch and flywheel are quite high on the list. Before and after side lights And pictures of the detail i had done

Hello all, wanted to start a thread to keep track of progress on my 350z, i cant promise anything out of the ordinary but hopefully it will be a fun read for some! So, here she is when i bought her on Saturday, 6th of June 2015. Its an 05 GT model and had 97700 miles on the clock when i bought it, but with only one previous owner and full service history it looked like a good one. First thing i did was take it home and give it a good clean as it had been sitting in the dealers lock up for a few months. I also had the gearbox, diff and engine oil changed. After having a good look underneath i noticed there was quite a bit of surface rust about so i took the W shaped brace off and gave it a rub down and a coat of hammerite. Its far from perfect but should slow the rust down! As you can see, a fair bit of surface rust! After a rub down and a nice thick coat of hammerite Next i gave the engine bay a clean up, this included: changing the belts, respraying the throttle body, respraying the strut brace mounts, painting the heads of all the old rusty bolts and of course a visit to Mopedmark to get my plenum blinged! I also fitted an earthing kit from horsham developments. Before After! And a few pictures of the in between. I loved the sound of the standard exhaust the moment i pulled off on a test drive before i bought it, but it wasnt quite loud enough! I decided to have the centre silencer cut out and a straight bit of stainless steel pipe welded in. It made it a lot louder and a lot more raspy! You can see here what i had done ( and no its not still for sale ) Mandatory video After having it like this for a few weeks i decided it wasnt for me as i wanted the deep V6 growl back. After doing a fair bit of research and spending hours on youtube listening to other peoples cars i decided to go for a resonated cobra system (backbox and centre pipe) with the plan of upgrading the cats and pipe at a later date In the quest for more power i booked it it at horshams for an uprev map, before doing this i fitted: new spark plugs, a new HKS panel filter, a horsham developments plenum spacer and obviously the cobra exhaust.Being a 10 year old car and having done over 100k miles at this point i expected it to have lost a few horses. I was shocked to say the least.

Had my zed professionaly detailed, thought you might like to see the results! I am very happy with how it turned out

I dont plan on buying it, just wondered whether it would be any good for such a low price

Thats ace!! Its such a good day out just hanging around on Sloane street

Is this even worth it? Surely the exedy clutch is ok? I dont know about the lightened flywheel for £100 more though...? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111735867577

Thanks Alex, all is well, just slightly spongy at the top!Cheers

Bleeding my clutch, it feels ok but there is a really soft bit at the start and then it goes stiff? How do i get rid of this? Cheers

Id definitely say you need to bleed it properly after, mine had no pressure at all. Although i did lose a fair bit of fluid.

Is that with a standard backbox and centre pipe?Nevermind, i just read it properly!

Resonated cobra system sounds ace!

I left a big piece of wood wedging it down anyway! Cheers

Try jamming the pedal down - honestly it does work Is it a must? I have someone coming to detail the car tomorrow so id rather not leave a big wedge in the way

The pedal is starting to come back, going to leave it for tonight and carry on tomorrow. Its basically soft and then goes hard towards the end... Must still be some air trapped? Thanks for the help
