HEADPHONES Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Car is looking sweet in those pics. Glowing like a firey coal With more fine sunset examples on our roads I'm sure more people will feel the love for this paint variant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Plenum Spacer finally added to the mod list Managed to get hold of a second hand spacer, cheaply, from a forum member and machined up all the other bits on the lathe! Cheapest plenum spacer kit Like to say I feel a difference, but probably my imagination! Just the ART pipes to fit now and then uprev time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 More work to the zed! Received her back from the body shop after having a new front wing fitted, rear arch rust sorted and door handles sprayed in gloss black Also managed to negotiate a full machine polish for free as the sprayer informed me my machine polishing wasn't up to standard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Check up on the car today over work on the ramp ART pipes there looking pretty and bumped into the old man on the way back! So took a drive over Ashdown Forest for some pics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Small update... was getting annoyed by the peeling/flaking lacquer on the steering wheel controls plastic trim. Went ahead and removed the wheel and carbon wrapped the 2 panels Not to everyone's taste but looks a lot better than it did previously Also treated myself (and the Z) and got hold of an Autobrite snow foam lance, damn the stuff smells so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Snow lance FTW!! When the neighbours are looking, Snow it up and go out to it with a Bic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not really a build update but unsure where to put it Finished college early with a couple of mates and visited JapPerformance Parts in Crawley. They have some awesome stock, mainly for Subaru's and Evo's, but they had an awesome drift scooby in the show room with a RB26 and I'm guessing from the gearknob it was a 350z gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Couple of purchases this month, being on the cautious side I guess Managed to pick up an exedy stage 1 clutch kit and an XTD single mass flywheel. Some monkey managed to shear a bolt off in the flywheel so I'll have to get that out, but that's no problem and was worth it for what I ended up paying If I need it... Then it's there in the 350z parts corner that's apparently "cluttering" up my dad's garage. Nearly 80k miles now so she's getting up there, but worth it for the smiles nearly 2 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Cheers, chap I have he same in mine. Something the previous owner hand done, but mated it to the stock dmf. I do like exedy stuff, had a XTD stage 1 clutch and lightweight flywheel in my old GTi. The clutch was pants, but flywheel was good. Clutch feel was harsh, but tbf it gripped like a mofo and could beat on all day long. Went to a oe spec clutch, feel was again lovely and light however after a pulls on the highway I would start to smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would always go for a well branded clutch, definitely a job you'll only want to do once! Heard good things about XTD flywheels... At the end of the day it is only a solid piece of steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Productive day today! Machined the sheared bolt out of the flywheel and re tapped it Also cleaned up the cloudy headlights again as it seems to be a 6 monthly thing now Also managed to find out what the humming noise was, coming from the rear of the car that I've been putting off looking at for over a year... Wheel bearing absolutely shot on passenger side, so got one of them on order for next weekends excitement https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2idzodrpxwfjkp/Snapchat-603733395.mp4?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) So with the sales of plenum spacers going nice and smoothly, I should start to see a little pot of "Zed Spending Money" appear! I finally got round to binning the Bose and fitted the popular Pioneer SPH-DA120... Changed the interior massively and wish I did it ages ago! Potentially on the list: *Fit Stage 1 Exedy Clutch Kit and SMF (is there point if the original is still going?) *Uprev at Abbey Motorsport (possibly going with a few other cars for an arranged discount) *Possibly some new wheels... If I can find a decent set I like which aren't £2000 However I'm still a fan of the standard Rays even though many change them as their first mod! Already gathering bits for a BIG P3 service next spring... How sad I know Oh yeah 21st Birthday been and gone and the Zed has a new plate! So close to being perfect Edited December 2, 2018 by reeceybeaney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 After my minor incident with broken ART pipes... I've decided it's time to fit all the parts I've been hoarding This year brings all of the goodies taking up room in the garage: Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit 7KG SMF Stoptech Slave Cylinder Z Speed Clutch Pivot Ball HEL Braided Lines w/ Millers Racing Brake Fluid Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 w/ filter NGK Iridium Spark Plugs Uprev - likely at Abbey Motorsport Hopefully the zed will be better tham ever this year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozzy Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The more I see your car the more I fall in love with mine, the carbon/black just makes the orange look so much better. Where did you get your carbon bits from? I was going to get a ducktail spoiler but the carbon nismo is swaying me over. Also looking at carbon wing mirrors but unsure were to go to make sure the fitment is spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
