vroom811 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 This week it's a complete service overhaul. I change the engine oil, gearbox oil, differential fluid, coolant, spark plugs and clean the MAF & throttle body. Full video on YouTube as usual. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyduke Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Been watching the series. Really enjoying it. Thanks for taking the time Bit annoyed that the seat change gives less headroom. I would want more as I'm 6'4 Thinking of doing the full service now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should clarify on the seat. I configured it so the rear is one notch (there are 3) higher than the front. So I sit at an angle which I prefer. That was what I meant by "higher". Probably not the best description. Anyway overall you sit lower in the car as the seat is thinner than stock and mounts lower. You can also move the seat further back more to give more leg room, again as it's thinner. I'm 6 foot and can't fully depress the pedals with the seat all the way back. If you are at TRAX on Sunday you can have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the mounts that are described as "low mounts" or just standards? Was considering a change of seat for a better position but am unsure if it would sit me low enough in the end really. Would love to try it and thanks for the offer. But, won't be heading to Trac. It's a fair way off for me as with most shows down here in deepest darkest devon. Good luck with everything and looking forward to more in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously P1's and a P2 carried out. Will need another pair of axle stands to have the car level for gearbox and diff oil change. For oil changes I trolley jack the driver's side, axle stand the passenger and then lower jack, to get the last bit of old oil out. Never had a petrol car before whereby the oil goes dark so quick.

To be fair I don't see how they could be lower though without cutting into the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Decided to modify my 350Z boot. Much bigger now and things don't fly at your head on heavy breaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Gear knob was looking a bit tatty, so cleaned it, sanded it then re-painted it. Doesn't look too bad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 My latest video is a collection of repairs and mods I've done the the Z. 1. I modify the boot to make it bigger and safer 2. Repair a leaky door seal 3. Repaint the scratched door handle with plastidip 4. Hack the Bose stereo 5. Give the interior a good clean 6. Fit brighter headlights 7. Do the "penny trick" on the boot lid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Back with another great addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Got the Whiteline suspension kit ordered. It includes stiffer front and rear anti-roll bars, new drop links, poly bushings and lowering springs. @davey_83 is on the ball and has already posted my video of me installing the anti-roll bars (spolier - watch out for sheared bolts...) and the testing how much of an improvement it is on track. I'll do the same for the springs when time allows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Nice modification with ease of adjustability too. I'd say the whiteline lowering springs probably have the perfect drop for the 350z. Tein isn't enough and eibach seems too much. Look forward to the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro LLama Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 great video underside looks in quite good nic. nice testing also :). can i ask what phone holder you use to keep your phone in the lid space?

omegacloud Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I am quite surprised how unimpressed you seem with the anti-roll bars. Most people say the #2 mod after coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next up its the lowering springs then I'm testing to see if ceramic coating the car is any good. A few mods on my list but not sue which will be next such as brake ducts, plenum spacer, rust repair and poly bushes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll show their potential after other mods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Fair to say uprated ARB on the 350z, make the car feel better but don't actually make the car noticeably faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Wanted to try out ceramic coating my Z. Was pleasantly surprised. Here's a video detailing how I did it and my results after 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroom811 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 My next mod was fitting sports lowering springs from Whiteline. Drop the car by about 25mm and am pleased to report does improve the handling quite a bit. A lot of bodyroll in the corners has been reduced and it feel like the car has more grip. As usual a guide on to how to fit the springs and my thoughts on how they perform is below. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
