Hi all, New to 350z ownership. Not planning on doing a whole lot as the car is really sorted already. (yeah that lasted long - future Dave) I'm a fan of OEM+, especially on a car as unique as the 350. Probably some rear spats and and a front lip spoiler might be enough to finish it off for what I like... Not sure who long that will last. Here is how it looked when I picked it up.

daveo132 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) So, I've done a bit of work already. New steering wheel from Jack of royal steering wheels. I also pulled off the slip in silencers to reveal the very banged up tips. These will be replaced on Thursday. I'm undecided what to do with the exhaust. it's straight pipes so it's very loud, sounds good but it can be ear splitting at times. i might opt for some boxes on the box just to take the edge off. Thoughts? Also wanted to show off the black diamond brakes that had been fitted. Edited September 10, 2018 by daveo132 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1CE Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 That sits nicely on those wheels . Enjoy ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Well done for finding such a clean example looks great. Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 New exhaust tips are going on the car on Thursday. I'll keep it straight piped for now. Even though the car is my daily I don't need it everyday. I get to work by train, only a 10 min walk to the station too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) So the new tips never happened. The guy just wasn't able to fit me in. He's working by himself. New plan is to fit some Torqen Polished Tips. Spent this morning sorting the headlights. Unfortunately I also caught the paint on the bumper while sanding it back. Hardly noticeable thankfully, and I think some more polish will bring it back. Before: After: Might just be able to see the paint in this one: Edited October 20, 2018 by daveo132 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Also, after getting my car I fitted my Parrot Asteroid Smart. I love this unit. Full android but, it is getting old now and my Nav software is no longer supported. I'm thinking of getting a Xtrons unit but unsure of the quality.

daveo132 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 So, got my new android unit in. So far it seeems very good. SQ is good, probably not as good as something high end but is plenty good enough for me. Will have to do a little more work with it as I also picked up a DTV module to go with it. A job for a few weeks time though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 No updates at the moment. Will be sending a few bits to aqua graphix soon but for now here's a pic of mine from the pistonheads breakfast meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Looks really good, the stance, the wheels, the ride height. Very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) So just some updates for you. The suspension is being changed on Saturday. While the car looks good, it's not at all practical (relatively speaking ) and I'm sure the coilovers are from ebay. Honesty I think if I close the boot hard enough it'll ground out! So I had a chat with my mate at demon-tweeks and a week later I had a full set of the Bilstein B12s sat in my kitchen. I used this on my BMW and never looked back. Firm and sporty but still with really good ride quality. Also, thanks to @Tarmac@TarmacSportz I now have hood dampers and rear spats to add. Hopefully some new pics over the weekend.

tony420z Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 looking good mate nice mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 So, I didn't get a chance to take many pictures yesterday so these will have to do! All new Bilstein B12 Pro kit all round. Only thing left to do is get new spring pads in the rear. All had been removed. Didn't get a chance to put the rear spats on as I had the wrong tape to help bond them. That should be done in a few weeks time with a new front lip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Had the rear arches rolled this morning. Rob (Arch Attack) is a top bloke. Highly recommended from me! Now I can put my spacers back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) New fitment with the spacers on and a pic when parked up in town today. New front lip ordered from @Tarmac@TarmacSportz Edited February 23, 2019 by daveo132 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 So more updates. DPD turned up with my new front splitter thanks to @Tarmac@TarmacSportz. That should go on the car in about 2 weeks time. Today however I decided to do something about the rear lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getjiggy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Looks way better! What did you use and how hard was it to do?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used e-tech spray tint. Masked the surrounding area off and spray on in a few layers. Probably had it all done in under an hour. That spray on ebay is only a few quid. You can also get the tint remover which will wipe away the tint but not the paint. So easy to use.

daveo132 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 New update, Fitted some @Adrian@TORQEN Exhaust tips. Were a little bigger than I thought but I got it to work. Thought they were for 2.5inch piping but they were a little too bit for the 2.5 piping on my car. Anyway nothing a little shim couldn't sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo132 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Spring pads are in, car sits better now. Not as low on the back but far more usable. Still looks good though. Also got my rear spats on. However I couldn't get the front lip on as it seemed too short. I'll need to have a chat with @Tarmac@TarmacSportz next week...

daveo132 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 So I've been talking to B&B audio concepts here in Cardiff. http://www.audioconcepts.co.uk In the next few weeks I should have a new xfire audio system with Pioneer head unit. If anyone is interested my current head unit is for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
