Silverthorn

Just your usual 'static' meet. Organised by a bloke with a YouTube channel, clothing brand etc. Looks to be well organised though so should be a good day. According to the Facebook event "we'll have a bunch of stuff going on, including a BQR stall, prizes, raffles, BMX & more"

Yeah I'll be popping along no doubt. Should be a good day

EDIT: Ignore this comment - I've just found the answer to the question I posted. GLWTS

@Payco Yeah I spotted them in one of your threads you made not too long ago. Those, along with the wrap, are going to be absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see it

@Payco It'll be worth the wait though! Those Emotions are absolutely gorgeous!

@Sim the wheel specs are: Front: 19 x 9.5 et15 with a 3mm spacer & 245/35/19 tyre Rear: 19 x 11 et22 with a 15mm spacer & 275/35/19 tyre. I'm planning on going to a 25mm spacer in the rear as that should give me a similar fitment to the Royal Speed Shop 370 I posted previously. Tempted to pop the 15mm spacer in the front and get some adjustable camber arms to fine tune the front end but we'll see. All in good time

Thanks for the positive comments guys! I'm over the moon with the wheels, so much better than the chrome. I don't know what I was thinking!

Well it's fair to say I absolutely adore the new look The slight window tint, door handles and wheels all tie together perfectly IMO

@valy I had the wheels powder coated by a place local to me named 'Prestige Wheel Refurbishments'. The quality of work was second to none. I watched them remounting my tyres and I've never seen anyone take as much care with them as they did! Turned them round in 48h and only cost £300 + VAT.

Wheels are back from being powder coated - They look tonnes better than i could of originally anticipated! Just need to fiddle about with the ride height slightly, order some larger spacers for the rear and give the car a good wash! Plus fit the abundance of parts i seem to keep having arrive at my doorstep recently Pics to follow soon...

@Sim I'll take a look into it. Preferably after a front lip trather than a splitter as such as it'll go better with the TS side splitters I've got but I'm open to options. It's a bit of a pain, there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of options for the mk2 Nismo.

@nissanjuke Yellow is definitely a hard one for sure. Personally I'd lean towards either an anthracite or white. I'm not too sure if he is on the forum, but a guy i follow on Instagram called Tom Atkin has a yellow 370 with white Work T7R's... Looks awesome

@Sim Ah, I'm glad i mentioned it now. I was planning on ordering their front lip some time soon but i don't think I'll bother if their customer service is as poor as that PayPal is invaluable in situations like those.

Cheers mate! It's getting there slowly... I can't wait for it all to come together over the next few months! Same here! I can't wait! I like quite a few cars over in the states with polished wheels and they do look great in photos. I just think over here it's a little bit OTT, at least on my car anyway

Do you have any plans to stock CarbonSignal parts in the future? Quite fancy their 3 piece front lip for the 2015 Nismo 370.

Sounds good to me! Nice 'n' local

Popped the tyres on the wheels and gave them a test fit the other day - not a fan of the chrome at all in the end Looked a tad too American IMO and the car is way too subtle overall to pull them off... I'm a massive fan of them off the car but as soon as i put them on, the whole stealthy look of the car was ruined Dropped them off yesterday to be stripped and powder coated a dark graphite colour. I should have them back Friday afternoon, just after i get my windows slightly tinted and the door handled wrapped gloss black. In better news though the fitment of the wheel in the arch is almost perfect. I think I'll move from a 15mm spacer to a 20mm in the rear and then move the 15mm spacer over to the front, with the addition of some Hardrace adjustable camber arms to tuck the top of the front tyre just inside of the arch... Good times ahead!

@Sim Don't worry, I'll be sure to get a few photos on here the second the wheels go on Cheers mate! I absolutely adore the wheels now I've seen them in person. How much I'll love them when I'm trying to keep them clean every week will be another matter

@davey_83 Haha yeah they're definitely quite bright! I was almost worried they were a bit too much but after seeing them briefly on the car I'm confident they should look good, especially when the Nismo rear goes on! The wheels I've got are 19 x 9.5 et15 for the front and then 19 x 11 et22 for the rear. I'll also still be using my 15mm rear spacer for the rear so it'll essentially be 19x11 et7 Dependent on how these fit i may move the 15mm spacer to the front and purchase a 20 or 25mm spacer for the rear but we'll see For tyres I've went with 245/35/19 for the front and then 275/35/19 for the rear. These are the same tyres that Royal Speed Shop run on their Work Kiwami's with the same specs so hopefully they should fit something like this

1. Zero:One 2. Panman - Azure P44 AAN 3. Zelda 4. Silverthorn 5.

The new wheels have arrived! Test fitted them earlier and the fitment is looking spot on I didn't have any planks of wood so I couldn't lower the car fully off the jack unfortunately but it's all looking good so far. New tyres ordered a couple of days ago so they should be here in the middle of next week. Hoping to get them fitted next Friday while the car is having the handles and windows done! I cannot wait!

Lovely looking car Any plans with it for the future?

As Payco has already said, brilliant cars and generally very little will go wrong with them, as long as you keep up with the servicing! Generally I get upwards of around 30-35mpg on the motorway , but I do have a very light foot when I'm commuting Even with the hours of standstill Bristol traffic I sit in everyday I still manage to average just over 24mpg
