Thought it was about time I stuck up a progress thread to detail the history of my Zed smile.gif

 

Bought her back in July, spec as follows:

 

2004 (54) Nisson 350z GT coupe

Gunmetal Grey

Electric, heated leather seats

Cruise Control

 

Previous owner added a few little touches:

 

Carbon dipped front bumper lip

Carbon dipped cooling plate

LED interior lights

LED sidelights

iPod connection to stereo

350z mats

 

Plans for the future:

 

Eibach springs for 30mm drop

Plenum spacer

UpRev remap

Decats

Exhaust system

Maybe some new wheels, not sure yet

Very unique PURPLE theme wink.gif

1st mod was the shift knob, such a small change but makes a great difference

And the just last week i bought a Motordyne XYZ pipe so that i can decat and still be MOT friendly. After some advice on here, I decided to take it to a garage to be installed

Sounds very quiet with 3 cats, so now that the bolts are nice and new and easy to take off, i put the standard y pipe back on for now because I missed the noise 1.gif

 

Today, I started my purple theme

Busy day today

 

Started off at Surrey Rolling Road so that I could get a good idea of what I'm starting off with power-wise

 

Quoted power from the factory is 276bhp, so not bad for an 8 year old car :thumbs:

Test fitted some eyebrows that I picked up cheap to give the front end a meaner look until I change the bumper. I like them a lot, just need to get them sprayed up and fitted

And gave her a good clean, ready for the approaching winter. Clayed, polished, 2 coats of wax and 2 coats of wheel sealant too
