grahamc Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well after a bit of a search I found a good starting point for my 350z project On Saturday I picked my 2002 model, import, 65000 miles, cloth interior, exterior looks very good.... it needs a few little things doing and should be a good little car once done! The list of things to do:- * traction control issue needs sorting * exhaust is blowing * a few minor things (horn is not working, indicator auto cancel not 100%, reversing camera is not working, only 1 key) * headlights need to be restore.... some what of a standard issue with older jap cars So where and what version fault code reader do I get? Where is best to get a spare key? Here are some pics, from the pistonheads ad and a few quick snaps from over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on using it as a track weapon then (or something) & stripping it to save weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much.... will only start in about 6-8 months time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 ^^ Very cool. I'd definitely start a build thread then once you get going graham if you can as I'm sure others will be interested to see what your doing in order to make it better & quicker on track.

SteveRS Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 That's correct, that is one of our exhausts in our eBay store Currently 2 available in stock one with rolled titanium tips and one with single walled titanium tips. Running an offer at the moment with a free CF Nismo gear knob. If you already have a gear knob we can sort something else for you and of course club members get a discounted rate compared to the eBay store price. Here's the thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77543-350z-invidia-gemini-true-dual-exhaust-free-nismo-gear-knob/ Let me know if I can help.
