Olly350z Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) No Varley16, its a replacement for the OEM chin spoiler, which was a complete pain to remove Feels amazing on the coilovers, its become a real motorway cruiser. The close ratio dampening hides so many of the little bumps innthe road, almost softer then OEM. Jerricks products really are that well made. I do need adjustable droplinks at the front as theres alot of preloaded tension on it but Ill do that next month So another update, I purchased some carbon fibre kick plates and absolutely love them. Everyone loves carbon! And one of how it sits now ive lowered the back end a tad more, and gotten it aligned Edited August 3, 2017 by Olly350z Removing duplicate picture 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 So as some will have seen on facefail, I took a road trip down to see Mr Bob Ellis at the Zshed HQ today. Bit of a long drive down to Dorset but absolutely worth it in every way. Bob has fixed my sticky OEM fans to save me from over heating issues. Im now questioning whether they ever worked, and also fitted my plenum spacer! If you want work done, they're the place to go. Ive officially been Zshedded! Now to start researching where to get my remap done... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Amongst other things, the hunt for wheels is now on.. Ive decided on a set so will have to see how long it takes me to save up... Obligatory Friday wash pic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 So a few more modifcations done, fitted Martins "flyboy mirror kit". Loving having the mirrors now fold in and out with every lock / unlock! And spent today doing the flip key mod. Has been fairly straightforward with slight filling and trimming and it seems to work perfectly. Just need to get it cut Pleased to also say that wheels have been chosen and will be ordered shortly. And hopefully when I manage to get in contact with Mark, a remap at Abbey motorsport! Big things happening soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'll keep the flip key mod for a winter project Just a cheap ebay key do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 According to the advert this was a Nissan Quashqui (Spelling :/ ) fob. Little bit of trimming and filing and everythings gone in easy. Lock and unlock all work so just waiting on getting the key cut then we'll see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I purchased the Z I said Id own a set of these incredibly rare wheels! And the grand reveal... Nismo LMGT4s Picked these up from Martin on here today, pictures didnt do them justice!

Excited to fit them after remapping tomorrow, more to come 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Looking great olly how did you get on with your wheel nuts ? I know Zmanalex had the correct nuts for the LMGT4's in stock at some point. If not there is always these, fancy some myself. https://www.nengun.com/nismo/wheel-nut-set Edited September 18, 2017 by SHEZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the look of those, wish they were silver or polished though. Cant help but think the black will stick out like a sore thumb against my silver!

SHEZZA Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Not sure pal think Zmanalex is the best person to ask. You'll find that being black they won't stick out like a sore thumb at all. I find my short black OEM nismo nuts are lost in the holes so it looks like you've got 10 holes on each wheel if you know what I mean.

Jack94 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Stunning looking Z you've got there mate The LMGT4s have got to be the best looking wheels for the 350 imo, but I guess I am biased I've got them nismo nuts on mine, they were a bit pricey but look ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say about great minds think alike! I do like how far they sit recessed inside the wheels... @SHEZZA See I do like how they sit recessed inside the wheel. But that photo has made me think they definitely will be noticeable against my silver paint which Id like to avoid. @ZMANALEX could you shed some light on whether standard gt rays nuts fit or whats out there?

Olly350z Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Along with the wheels, I took a trip down to Abbey Motorsport and saw Mark for a session of UPREV remapping yesterday. Made to feel very welcome and Mark talked me through all that he was doing. She made a 15BHP and 11 torque gain which Im happy with, but moreimportantly how she drives now is just night and day different. The throttle response is immediate and so much smoother. Very pleased for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 LMGT4s are not only great looking rims, but being forged are strong too. I've had mine over 10 years ony zed which is my daily. Even battling over Manchester's finest potholes there is no buckling whatsoever. Congratulations on finding such a good condition set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
