Just decent wheel fitment makes a world of difference to them. Try telling that to the owners club though .......
Haha yeah, owners clubs just dont get the stance thing usualy lol.
jason - Thanks man!
Stuck a Jimmy Up sticker on today and a Scrape sticker too, looks kinda rad
Little update - Not really much happend what with xmas and the shite snow everywhere but -
Brakes were squeeking like a fucker so replaced them with EBC Turbogroove Discs and Yellow Stuff Pads. Braking much better now
Also i have a full set of Kinetix adjustable arms etc to go on as soon as the weather improves.
Should really start work on the FC now too!

I have the kinetic arms, the front A arm design is absolute wank
For adjustability. If it's not too late order something else
Car looks mega though, you gonna drift it?
Haha it dont really look all that adjustable but nevermind, i already have it
I'm sure it'll do the job!
As for drifting it, I'd like to think so
just depends how far i get with the FC this year. You wired your TC switch to perminently off?I get around fine til I see a speedbump then have to stop and slam on the hazards until I can do a U turn haha
These cars are really deceptive they dont look THAT low from outside but scrape on everything where as my FC looks lower but dosent scrape much at all. I've all but scrubbed straight through the flexi's :S going to need to replace those soon.
You have a deposit down on Ian's SC on 350zuk dont ya? that made 400bhp didn't it?
I need to wire my switch in too, theres a guide floating about somewhere I think, Just noticed your thread, awesome stuff.
Did you buy your final drive from yahoo japan or one of the dealers?

Yeh mine is a nightmare but I can't bare to raise it up lol!
His made 420 so I'm hoping for the same can't wait. He's removing it over the next few weeks and I'll be getting it off him over Easter.
I got it all from rhdjapan.com they do a tomei 2way diff and 3.9 final drive kit. Cost bloody 1300 all in shipped from Japan though!

I wondered wether theyre worth the money or not, hows it feel with the different final drive? Alot faster?
I bought the lip from a friend, but you can get them from EP i think? Its pretty much the same lip. Theyre ok fit but the laquer cracks easy when things hit it, id go for a plastic lip if i could find a decent one.
You using the stock handbrake? mines gash to say the least!

The final drive is a nice difference, but not a massive improvement in acceleration....
Stock handbrake is toss!! I'm looking into a hydro wand, but the way the brakes are set up will be a nightmare to fit. Only way I can see to do it is by removing the ABS and redoing the lines myself.
As the lines coming off the Master cylinder (2 of), 1 goes to the front left and rear right caliper, whilst the other goes to front right and rear left. All via the ABS Block.
So instead of having a line going to the rear of the car off the Master Cylinder, with a T piece splitting to each rear caliper youve got 2 lines.
So its not just a case of cutting in a hyrdo into the rear line

Mate a dude on my350z has done a guide to fitting it without tapping into the ABS, Hydro E-brake for a 350Z - MY350Z.COM Forums
Might try that if i fit one to mine
its a daily at the mo so might not need it for a while

its a daily at the mo so might not need it for a while Right it been ages since i posted in here so here goes a little update...
The Dish was looking a little worn after the winter, so i dcided it was time for a change. After looking at all sorts i decided on BMW e65 wheels which im sure alot of you will have seen
The only problem is that the e65 runs 19x9 et24 up front which is far too weak for a Z so i had to chop up a couple of sets for just the 19x10 rears.
Anyhow i ordered up some PCD adapters and got the bad boys fitted
After a couple of LATE nights adjusting fitments and DIY rolling of bits of the arch myself and V7MAT got it fitted up nice.
Then slapped the lip back on....
Then we drove down to the fast show at pod as a maiden drive to test it out. Apart from afew spark showers on the a1's crappy surface all went well
When we got there we decided no chance we were going to park on the grass and so entered show and shine to park on the concrete
Seems people were diggin it by the feedback i got on the day and on the net!
All for now.
