Dean_m Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So after owning my 350Z since for a few months now, I thought it was about time I started a project thread. Previous car was Fiesta ST, so pretty different to the Zed! Some pics below.. After searching for a while I found this azure blue 2004 Zed with only 40k miles, fell in love with it and bought it there and then. The day I viewed it... As soon as I got home I bought stubby aerial and satin silver "Z" badges. Not many mods happened over the next month, just lots of driving and enjoying the car. Drove to Wales with some mates one weekend, some pics below... Shortly after this I bought some Motordyne ART decats from Arran, and then bought a Cobra resonated catback from Jetpilot (thanks Sherlock for picking this up for me!!) Have also de badged the 350Z badge and de wipered the rear. Loads of plans for the zed which should be happening over the next few months!

Dean_m Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Over the last few days I managed to give the car a quick detail and add some protection for the coming months, something which I've been wanting to do for a while! Couldn't get many more decent pics as it started to rain.. But on a positive note got some beading pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_m Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Have also ordered a nismo gearknob and alcantara gear gaiter for the interior, and looking to purchase a Royal steering wheel soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Very nice. Jack does a service exchange re trim service on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_m Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Cheers! Yeah that's exactly what I was looking to do, with the whole refundable £50 deposit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_m Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Had the day off today so fitted my carbon Nismo gear knob and alcantara gear gaiter. Also fitted LEDs for the interior and boot light. First mods of many for the interior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good job. Need to change the handbrake and gator now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_m Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cheers. Yeah I bought a matching handbrake gaiter but not too sure how to fit it. Any ideas? Been searching for a guide but can't seem to find anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Awesome colour, and lovely bit of beading Cheers. Yeah I bought a matching handbrake gaiter but not too sure how to fit it. Any ideas? Been searching for a guide but can't seem to find anything I'm not sure if it's the correct way to do it, but I did it by removing the centre tunnel (is that what it's called? The big price of plastic running between the 2 seats). After you remove the centre tunnel, I placed the gaiter over the handbrake and put the centre tunnel back. Buster's explanation of how to take off the centre tunnel. Make sure you take a look at post #8 just below as well, as he points out 3/5 screws. Warning - the wire harness underneath is an absolute PITA to remove... P.S. I have the same gaiters. Don't have a gear knob finisher though.

Dean_m Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks mate! Thought it would involve removing the centre tunnel. Will give it a go soon, may order a different handbrake too to match the gearknob and do it all in one hit The finisher came in the packet with the gearknob, along with the gear shift sticker.

No problem at all! Other than the wiring harness, it's very easy Just FYI, I think I read somewhere that one person didn't even bother taking the tunnel off. He put the gaiter on from the top, and stuffed it into the centre tunnel using a flathead screwdriver. Didn't work for me though, so I did it via the Buster's method. I guess I better take another look at my Nismo knob box. Maybe it was in there and I just missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_m Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah I did try doing it that way, couldn't stuff it in neatly though and when I did the stitching wasn't lined up along the top of the handbrake so I gave up! Yeah it was in the Nismo box behind the sticker. I almost missed mine too when fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was in the Nismo box behind the sticker. I almost missed mine too when fitting it. Yeah pretty much exactly the same as me. Aha... That's probably where it is then as I left the stickers in the box for now. Hopefully I haven't lost the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
