parello9 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Well i thought it was time to upgrade the milano integra dc2 to something rear wheel drive and just about as fast with some toys in it too! The s2000 and 350z were the choices and of course i got the 350z as it felt brilliant to drive over the s2k and a bit more special... And so with a drive over to Lincolnshire i picked this baby up! I think some of you may recognize it as it has 350z owners stickers on it from a few years back... it has all the upgrades but the sat nav, which i did want but couldn't really find a decent one with it in I think i will be keeping it like this for a while not sure whether to get the wheels done white or something.. It does have a crak in the front bumper but i do ideally want to get a different one so wasn't so bothered, i need some options on front bumper though as im not sure what i will like..probably a meaner look anyways! So i started by giving it a good clean... The headlights were misted up at the top too which i got out as soon as i could before and after pics also the exhaust needed a good polish so heres that too So it was finally clean and i got some better pictures with the sunshine Came out a treat!! So far i love it!.. the sound of the v6 is amazing and it drives superb... the right choice by far!!! Service is first on the list also looking for a front bumper... Thats all for now Edited July 10, 2014 by parello9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Great work mate. Was the rear washer jet hard work to remove? I have de-wipered mine, but left the nozzle in place just incase. Doubt the wire wiper will be going back on, the may aswell whip that off too. What size grommet did you use? Top tip on the headlights thanks dude - did mine this eve with some tcut and they came up a treat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top tip on the headlights thanks dude - did mine this eve with some tcut and they came up a treat!! glad it helped, the headlights do look good now dont they haha!.. yeh my jet was abit hard to pull off, but i just used some pliers and to be fair i dont think it will ever be going back on anyways as all my other cars never had a rear wiper either... i bought 1 pack from halfords i think it was 19mm 22mm and 24mm, it was a pack of 3 assorted, i did try them first before i bought them but only was £1.79 Looks like a great Zed you have picked up there, looks great thanks means alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Dang, makes me wish i'd gone for Azure Blue and not Drizzle Grey... looks really nice! might also be attempting to polish up my headlights, they're looking pretty cloudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parello9 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Back with and update: Well seeing as ive had the car around a month now, i haven't spent money on parts yet. I have just been filling her up and enjoying it! plus getting used to rear wheel drive but i do have a new part now So ive been cleaning her weekly bringing the paint work to former glory building up the wax and polish alot here's a iphone pic The door is a mirror Anyways right so update... ...This was always going to be one of the first mods i wanted to do, Front bumper! My blue one was chipped, had a few scuffs and odd cracks so instead of fixing i was on the look out for maybe a v2 or anything else that grabbed my attention, the standard bumper was always going to be a perfect fit so i opted for one of these instead with a few modifications and so here it is Bumper meet car, car meet bumper It is a jap bumper so has no washer jets which i prefer as its smoother, debadged, number plates wholes deleted, also a nismo splitter found on the tarmac sportz site and it was only fitted and sprayed up a month ago and left in the bodyshop that's why its covered in dust! I havent got any pictures while putting it on as my phone was charging but here we go So i like it but the next day i got a vinyl plate made until i sort the spray I like it a lot more than i thought i would When i do get round to sorting the colour out i think i will get a plate the same size now but move it and attach it to the mouth of the grill instead Thinking to get the whole splitter gloss black and grill or just the mouth of the splitter along with grill then the ends of splitter blue Anyways hope you like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph 7 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm sure someone will confirm this but isn't there an issue with not having functioning headlight washers if they were fitted originally when you have an mot? Best to check first before you spray it in case you need to cut holes and spray your old covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally knows everything lol With that done i took some pictures when i cleaned it a few weeks ago Well anyways its currently in the (beaniesport) garage getting the new front bumper painted I'm now deciding whether to get the whole splitter gloss black or just the mouth gloss black with the splitter blue to blend in But it will be looking nice blue anyways B) Edited August 2, 2013 by parello9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Back again Well the bumper has finally got paint!!
