dmstewart Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi all, just joined the forum. I'm going to purchase a 350z very shortly (next week to two weeks). I've been looking to buy a stock GT however I've just come accross the following which has been modified and would be interested in what people think, especially if anyone see's any issues with the kit on there: Basic Info 34000 miles, FSH, Blade Silver, GT, UK car Engine: Motordyne 5/16" copper iso-thermal plenum spacer JWT induction kit CarbonFibre radiator cooling panel Fresh coolant New Gates belts Handling: Eibach ProKit springs + rear camber arms (awesome handling, clears all speedbumps, multi-storeys, etc) 4 nearly new Bridegestone Potenza RE050A 'DZ' (Nissan uprated spec for the Z) tyres at over £200 each Full laser 4 wheel alignment done a few months ago Exterior: Nismo V1-style CF-wrapped spolier (fitted with out centre bottom part - looks much better in my opinion) Rays in good condition 5Zigen nuts with locks (gunmetal, long, open type - super light can actually feel the difference driving) Z locking valve caps OEM front valance CF trim Clear front reflectors Stubby aerial Chrome grill strips CF-style rear number plate surround Interior: Bose 7 speaker 6 disc cd system Bluetooth OEM module OEM vertical tonneau OEM cargo net in boot OEM Silver Z door sills Z Floor mats Nismo Titanium GT gearknob {not fitted} Seats & oem gearknob have been fully cleaned/conditioned with LiquidLeather several times, no tears, damage, etc. OEM horizonal torneau cover (lowers chance or thefts from boot) Would be really grateful for any feedback good or bad. Many thanks, Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's not madly modified. The spoiler is the only thing you'd notice at a glance. The other mods sound fine, nothing silly or difficult to reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It looks like a well kitted car, with the tonneau cover etc etc. The CF and chrome bits have the potential to look gash, although that's a subjective taste thing. I'm dubious about the ability to notice the driving difference from lightweight wheel nuts mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dubious about the ability to notice the driving difference from lightweight wheel nuts mind Was going to say - lightened wheel nuts are noticable on a 1500kg car? At least if you dont like the CF etc you can take it off and sell it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmstewart Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm dubious about the ability to notice the driving difference from lightweight wheel nuts mind completely agree!! The CF and chrome bits have the potential to look gash, although that's a subjective taste thing. The CF is interesting to say the least... I actually quite like it BUT the car is silver and the CF is black, which I think looks pretty poor. So I think I'll either remove it or get it resprayed/wrapped.

Stew Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's unsprung mass though. I still doubt you'd 'feel' it but you'd feel much smaller changes in unsprung mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You got a link to the car? We may already know it and be able to give you an idea of its history. EDIT: It's toby's car: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=55569 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be interesting to test standard and lightweight ones back to back, I reckon the placebo effect would kick in though - my car is so much quicker when it's clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
