Have you decided on a colour for these wheels yet? I saw a set at the weekend on a bmw that were diamond cut, looked quite nice.

 

im still unsure but i prefer my colour to diamond cut still

 

Was actually thinking to colour code the handles to the same shadow chrome as the wheels, think it would all tie in nicely :)

just gave this thread a follow mate, love how your Zed is turning out and I'm surprised I haven't seen you driving around Bedford...

Makes me feel really lazy as I've had mine for 2 years now and I've hardly done anything to it!

What would you say to a mini meet at the self car wash some time in the future as I've never used it and I know Roscoe would come down from Flitwick and maybe a couple of others too...

i know i never see anyone that i know from the forum lol!. and i am always driving around

Hmm i just get addicted to buying stuff for my cars haha! so i wouldn't call you lazy, it just takes that first mod then leads on to the next...

 

Yeh thats a good shout, i don't go there as much now but be good if we all went there, least we can talk while having something to do, the cars driving past will think its a 350z wash only :lol:

 

Gota make sure its sunny though B)

Okay right got an expensive update:

 

Wasnt sure wether to sell the car maybe and get a r34 gtt skyline but they still fetch around 10k and im sure the insurance is more and the main factor is i wasnt sure i could pay that for a 1998 car,

Anyways im going to keep the car and put the money in it which i have be doing and just done again!...

I normally always get to a stage with previous cars where it would take just a little bit more money to finish then i think na i'll save that and spend it on a new car but hey im 22 with a 3.5 v6 350z so ill wait till i can get a gtr! :blush:

 

 

With that out the way here's what i've been busy buying

Update time :

 

Well this all ended up alot harder than expected but here we go

 

BA531599-9AA9-495A-978A-AC5A432ADDF4_zpst4tylqzb.jpg

 

this was what the height of the car was standard

 

took a trip up to beaniesport

 

BE228F61-D8AE-4E14-B567-DABA873B8F74_zpsa360dncq.jpg

 

And so we got started

 

100D71E9-0F23-4831-98C8-5F73BE8748C4_zpsoggntjew.jpg

 

Front brake pads getting sorted

 

3AC12E65-58A7-4FC5-BECF-87B7FE136488_zpsnvu783om.jpg

 

Then while we were at that corner got to fitting the hsd's

 

CC7C2DF9-8EE4-4545-AC78-578D22656B4A_zpsamemoqpb.jpg

 

then next was a oil and gearbox change

 

16FF92A9-88AD-47E4-BDA8-EDD25C320338_zpshkrubxwm.jpg

 

with the help of this rather easy to use tool

 

0CD234FC-8112-4FDC-9585-EDFA615DF6BA_zps0pnmhvly.jpg

 

then the front down

 

7BAE7337-1AF2-439B-BF30-79DE71CE166B_zpscvzf4mkz.jpg

 

Way to low couldnt even move it :surrender:

 

E51657BB-4A24-4E31-9D1D-CDE30E34DEF3_zpsekwqunkn.jpg

 

and here is the point my mechanic found that the bottom bolt and bush were seized together :rant:

F030E131-8E4B-421C-BD8E-A1DEB449DE7F_zps0ttcysc4.jpg

Day 2

 

bolt and whiteline upgraded bushes arrived :teeth:

 

17E64AC6-F139-49D3-A88A-84ADA39D2B94_zpsofayjwg7.jpg

 

0875DEB4-8FD9-408F-8ACE-004800CEF11E_zpsy8bh8yx8.jpg

 

no way could we get the new bush in so had to take everything off

 

6686ADC8-3ECE-45D8-9255-CFFE8C991DB3_zpsbavi8tlk.jpg

 

Then by then got it pushed in after a few hours and all back together

 

D101BF23-3768-4F2D-A7D8-698FAE136B1F_zpsj2kzoglv.jpg

 

then diff oil came

 

C51A2A65-2AAB-4B5B-92BE-0931BA0DA42E_zpsjc0hxuvk.jpg

 

Then made the hole bigger in the strut so i can access the damper adjustment, i think this is rather neat

 

50B64A80-4B7B-4F3E-B215-E67FD7E1F17C_zpsuniqmjpp.jpg

 

 

So finally after 2 long days everything was done and here is how it looks with its new sticker

'hard parked'

 

 

It actually is very low!

 

my rear diffuser catches on certain things but then the coilovers are fully soft for at least a 100 miles so after that i can 'click' them up abit so its more hard and less bouncy

 

Im impressed with the coilovers though, very nice bit of kit!

 

so all in all this is what i got done

 

Oil titan race pro s

Nissan oil filter

copper crush washer

Nissan gearbox oil

Moly slip

Nissan diff oil

Nissan rear suspension bolt

Brembo front brake pads

anti squeal shims

Whitline rear suspension bushes

front passenger anti roll bar link

Nissan rear passenger hub incl bearing

raise rear TS diffuser

 

Eibach rear camber kit

HSD dualtech coilovers

 

The car is more smooth to drive now and looks epic B)

 

Really am pleased with it all

 

Hope you all like be good to meet a few people soon too! B)

 

Guna try and grab some High quality photos when i get the camera

That looks amazing, a blitz lip spoiler OR a BGW would finish that rear end off nicely ;)

 

cheers man!!

 

Yeh like my head says blitz/ducktail type

 

BUT

 

My inner child wants a BGW as the 350s pull it off so well! (i think i may get the driftworks one) :)
