Ceejay29 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Main update is swapping HSD coilovers to Tein with EDFC. Feel a significant difference in coilovers! Even tho i was happy with HSDs - im even more happy now with Teins! It never stops I am toying with the idea of replacing my coilovers. Undecided on purchasing new HSD's or used Tein Monoflex. What Tein kit have you fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceejay29 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So I bought the car around two years ago with the advert specifying Eibach Pro Street coilovers. Considering the previous owner and a few other minor things on the car I struggle to believe that he would spend over a grand on coilovers I cannot find a brand or any resemblance to Eibachs so for peace of mind want to tear it all out and do things propoerly (which I have been doing thus far).

Vlad Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oh fair enough lol Might be good idea to take them off, clean them up and post some pics on here to see if anyone can help identifying them as you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 And last Christmas present for the Zed arrived today. Not really styling or power or performance... But deffo will come handy Super power pack from MeisterR! Only ordered yesterday and got delivered before Xmas as promised, so thanks for a quick delivery It looks like good bit of kit. Nice and portable and comes with a carry/storage bag, which is quite handy! Deffo worth having it in the glovebox! Will test it tomorrow morning as battery is completely dead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Right, time for another update. New wheels (supplied by Tarmac Sportz) are 19" Varrstoen ES2s. 10" front, 11" rear, et25. Wrapped in MPSS (hey Dan! Are we best friends now? ) Roof was wrapped gloss black, carbon bonnet was sprayed same color as the car, just leaving vents still in carbon. New bumper is Nismo V2 with C/F canards (supplied by Tarmac) and lip/middle bit gloss black. Door handles were sprayed black as well Rear window spoiler/lip (supplied by Tarmac) fitted Unfortunately, as some of you know, bumper/arches/bonnet were sprayed VERY badly (details are here http://www.350z-uk.c..._hl__specialist). Here are few pics of how it is at the moment: Since I'm not happy with bodywork, I went to a trusted, top job, bloke. Matt @ Cawston Car Bodies (based in Rugby). Matt is been in the business for over 25 years and worked on my previous cars and cars of my mates - and every time you could not fault a thing. ^^ Me and Matt admiring "great" job that was done by CAR Specialist. Long story short - he is sanding everything down and starting from the scratch. Dropping car off to him in the middle of June, so car is ready for the Trax in July. What's getting done: - Bumper re-done - Bonnet re-done - Arches re-done and properly blended in with doors - Side skirts re-done - Rear spoiler resprayed as he didn't like the look of a line in the middle of it - Roof sprayed gloss black, instead of vinyl wrap - Rear window spoiler/lip re-done - Door handles re-done - 2 small dents/car park dings sorted Also car had little service again, by myself. Only 3.5k since last service, but I like to keep it all fresh and clean. Engine oil changed with new filter Supercharger oil changed Aux/Drive belt changed Currently refreshing my engine bay. Got rid of C/F slam panel and replaced it with mirror effect S/s panel from Rickdon Bonnet catch was replaced as well with a shiny one from MopedMark C/F Battery and Fluid covers are gone as well and OEM covers/lids with surrounds are currently with Ricey getting dipped Also got new Mishimoto oil catch tank (in black), polished Power steering and Coolant reservoirs - just need to fit them. Then will need to get one of them bling bling shiny plenums from MopedMark and possible get him to polish up my throttle body as well. Then it will be time to refresh suspension... new anti-roll bars, drop links, poly bushes and all that stuff. Ok, I'm off to do more overtime now Edited May 10, 2015 by Vlad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Top job Vlad. Look forward to seeing your progress and the car at Trax Edited May 10, 2015 by 14N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 oh yea, I also wrapped boot plastics in black alcantara. Looks pretty good! Couple of bits needs to be re-done as im not 100% happy and other bits needs to be done as well, but overall looks Also got a spare roof lining - which i will do as well whenever i get time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Very goo job corsackðŸ‘👠I would get rid of the alcantara as it will discolour in the sun and look gash. I'm missing my V2 bumper now😈😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Cheers dodgy man lol There are no sunlight in the boot, so all good lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Great update Vlad. Fingers crossed for you that all goes well with the paint spraying second time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I was thinking of doing alcantara on a few bits. When it fades I'd have thought it'd just go a slightly lighter shade of grey. Does it end up looking that bad? Any1 got pictures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Cheers GM Andy, I don't have any pics and never seen a faded in person, so cant tell how bad it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
