Az-Z Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Heyup guys, not really sure where to post this, wanted to try and get a bit more involved on here. Lurked around a bit, bought a few bits and bobs but not really had time to contribute post-wise so much. I'll try and change that this year :-) So I've owned the car 6 months now, intentions were to keep it pretty original. Here's my "Hello I'm new here" post - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/110373-n00b-alert/ - I actually really liked the 350Z when it first came out, got the 350Z Scalextric over 10 years ago lol, so it's pretty cool to now be able to own the real thing. Well I've kind of kept to my plan, but it's certainly a car that for some reason tempts me to get involved and do stuff to it lol. Stuff I've done: - K&N panel filters - Stubby aerial - Boot divider & cargo net - Sound proofed the boot with Dynamat type stuff - 20/25mm wheel spacers - Black Rays wheel nuts - Rear wiper delete - Brodit Proclip phone mount - Steering wheel re-trim - Painted steering wheel controls - Painted rear strut brace - Metal undertray (replaced plastic original) - Cobra resonated exhaust, high-flow cats, y-pipe - Uprev remap at Horsham Developments (317bhp) - Dashcam (A119) Along with that I've done a few other small maintenance things, full service, changed the front wheel bearing hubs, droplinks to be done along with W brace. Had a pretty awesome trip to Lake District towards end of last year. Weather was decent and the roads around there mega. Did Honister Pass and a couple other routes around there, all pretty relaxed but good fun. Great for pics too. Here are a few snaps taken so far. When I first got it - found some friends lol Stripped the boot out and dynamatted - well worth doing, especially since I got the exhaust later Painted rear strut Can see rear wiper removed and bunged here Cobra fitted Steering wheel sorted - I especially like this, love the feel of alcantara :-) Soz for pic overload! Must say seems like a good time to get a 350Z in particular, so much performance and fun for the money. It's a solid car too, not much better around for the money. I looked at all sorts of options, but glad I chose this. Want to try and get along to a few meet ups this year. Before I got my Zed I noticed there was a bunch of 350's at the TunerFest meeting at Brands Hatch. Not sure if anyone on here was there, but here's my gallery - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/albums/19-06-2016-tunerfest-brands-hatch-photos/ - if you guys do a track day, especially at Brands do give me a shout! Anyway enough for now. cheers Az 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob350 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The car looks really good mate, I love the aggressive look of the steering wheel, im thinking of getting one like that, also I don't think I've seen a zed with red seats yet, suits it well red and black interior. Will you be going to Silverstone japfest this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob350 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just realised you said you swapped your plastic undertray for a metal one..... Do you happen to still have the plastic one? And possibly want rid of the damn thing out of your shead/garage/attic? Wellllll...... I know someone who would take it off your hands if you want rid that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aashenfox Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Lovely car, needs spacers (25 rear, 20 front) and just a little drop (15 to 20mm, Tein should do the trick!). Edited January 12, 2017 by Aashenfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xscotteex Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Im in the market for a HR at the moment. How has yours been? Have you had any of the oil burning issues that seem to plague them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Lovely car, needs spacers (25 rear, 20 front) and just a little drop (15 to 20mm, Tein should do the trick!).

You just skipped all the text and went straight for the pix, didn't you? Busted, my apologies. Funny, doesn't look like it has spacers on the back at least. Oh well, must be a trick of the angles, or the ride height throwing me off. Edited January 12, 2017 by Aashenfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be going to Silverstone japfest this year? Cheers Rob! I'd like to go yes, will have to see if it clashes with any motorsport as often at race tracks on weekend. Think there will be a Jap event at Snetterton too, will know more in couple of weeks. Ref tray it is in shed lol. I put up on ebay as apparently might still worth a few quid. If it don't sell you're welcome to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Az-Z Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Are you local to Brands? Not espec. Bout 50mins away near Farnham. Kind of inbetween Brands and Thruxton. But I'm often at Brands, do much of the race photography for them etc :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't mate. Only done about 5k miles but all seems ok for me touch wood. Good luck on the hunt :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Az-Z Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yeh sorry chaps KyleR is right... to clarify 20/25mm spacers were fitted after Lake District trip. Don't think I've got any decent pics after actually but looks better in the arches and thankfully handling didn't seem to be effected. Agree lowering a smidge would be nice... we'll see :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Motor looks great pal!! Loving everything thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargara Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 From looking at the pics I thought you had fitted the Depo headlights too, they deffinately look to have dark/black internals in those pictures. Could just be lighting I guess. Either way, great looking car but then I'm bias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
