My Modified Blue 350Z

It depends on the spec of the 350z I was only looking for a UK GT spec so brembos, heated seats cruise control etc. I think it was only the UK enthusiast spec (I could be wrong) that came with non-heated leather seats hence the no perforations...

 

Regarding the import thing I think it was only the ST spec (again could be wrong :lol: ) which is similar to the UK GT Spec that had heated leather seats so a lot more JDM Z's had non-heated leather seats.

Spoiler looks really good mate, don't think I can remember seeing one on a 350 before. The car is is coming along nicely with the mods, I always think the JDM 350 looks bare without a rear spoiler.

Thanks mate! Yeh i agree. The rear end just sags and needs something to pull it up.

 

Really need to start cutting costs so i can get more stuff done that i want to do!

So it was MOT time a couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately the car failed. It needed a set of new front discs and pads.

 

I managed to get my hands on some nice MTEC black discs and some Brembo pads. Once fitted it passed fine!

Ok so another big update. I had this week off work, so when better to take apart my headlights and spray the internals black...

 

Took a full 2 days work, but was definitely worth it! Looks better in person than in the pics though.

Hi, Do you any close up pictures of the rear spoiler as i left my oem lip on but i notice you have taken yours off?

 

Not sure i have any close up ones really mate, but will try and take some for you.

 

Not going to lie, im not sure how you have room for the OEM lip beneath the Celica one..?

It sits slightly in front, looks good from the front and front/side but not sure about rear and full side on.

Yours is probably further back on the boot. Didi you have the holes plated and sprayed?

Ah ok fair enough. Yeh mine is further back. I managed to get away with no bodywork as mine is JDM and was spoilerless, so no holes. And then i bought the OEM spoiler and just sticky taped it on, so no holes.

So ive been looking for a pair of Nismo sideskirts for a long time, as i wanted to get them in my colour to not have to worry about spraying them as i could fit them myself anyway. And finally came across some and they were at a very good price. They make such a difference to the car and look great!

Looks sooo much better on the Rays. How did you find splitting the headlights? That black mastic tar stuff was an absolute nightmare for me.

 

Thanks. Yeh that was one of the first things i had to do!

 

The headlights were a pain to be honest, as i dont have a heat gun and so just used a hairdryer. But the results were well worth the effort! Did you spray yours black as well?

So I decided to tint the lower rear light cluster, which i think looks better than the bright white before. The rear bumper was a pain to take off, but i got there in the end.

Also while i had the rear bumper I decided to do a very rough test fit this beauty that i got hold of very cheap! It is booked in the body shop in 2 weeks time, but couldnt resist seeing what it would look like. Cannot wait to have it finished!
