As promised then please find attached for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure.....:D....)

 

I will start with the most relevant and then just drop the rest in in whatever order they land.

 

Opinions are welcomed as sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me :p

 

UNMISTAKEBLY A Z32 N/A 2+2 ONLY PICTURE I HAVE OF IT SORRY :S

 

Enkei racing s alloys 17" split rims (not pictured of course)

Upgraded all speakers within standard housings (so as not to ruin original interior appearance)

It does have the blue light dash mod which i kinda like :)

I believe that the clear lenses on side and front indicators are after market.....? and i also do not like the silver mesh in the front grilles, that is coming off!! :)

Currently standard but planned:

Buddy club pro spec exhaust (my old one had this on and sounded awesome!)

Decat and o2 simulator (so no annoying light on dash)

Buddy club racing condenser

Possibly bigger oil cooler (for those spirited drives!)

Possibly inlet tuning of some kind but undecided as yet......

Some new dyno sheets will be arriving soon as all is fitted :)

Edited by Blackpool-z32

Also toying with the idea of a sub being fitted.... But this may be more of a project.

 

I'd love the little Bose dash speaker :)

300 now sits on 350z rims which i think really suit it!

 

null_zpsbf903571.jpg

null_zps45b0861f.jpg

350 now sits 35mm lower and on 19" rims with a Nismo replica lip, but i have a different one as i've decided this one is too big!

Also a buddy club race exhaust, short shift kit, o2 sim and race condenser are waiting to be fitted.....

 

New adittions over the holidays!!!!

 

null_zpsffb54ef8.jpg

850 t5-R 240 hp manual! beast of a daily runner but considering selling it on........

 

null_zpsa8bd8bf9.jpg

T4 camper project bought super cheap.... next summers tinkering already booked up here!! :D

 

And the Pièce de résistance

 

null_zps0b6c57f4.jpg

bought for my mum to use and as a bit of an investment, giving it to her on Saturday as its her birthday :)

 

 

Dont poke fun at the 2cv too much! I actually like driving it :D

Well the 300 and the 350 look great bud and loving the 2cv:thumbup1

Preferred the original bumper on your Z32, but the car looks lovely and damn clean! New wheels work well.

 

Lovin' the T5R!

 

2CVs are awful, but they are an investment. Most you see for sale are worth more than Z32 TTs now, even shitty ones and their values keep going up (albeit by only a little). I remember a time when they were worthless and scrap dealers wouldn't even have them because of all the rot. Now, they command decent money for what is, in essence, a set of deck chairs bolted to a sewing machine. :)

Great collection! loving the wheels on the zeds :D how's the ride on the threefiddy now it's lowered?

 

S.

rays wheel look great on the 300zx I have a set hear all refurbed and ready to go on after car respray. I like the 2cv but I have to kick you in balls and say I don't like the 350z atall sorry

  • Author

Do you not like 350z's in general dan or just mine?

 

Go kick yourself in the balls!!! :D

 

Only kiddin mate each to their own. :)

 

Cheers all for the opinions!

 

Sarah, hold off on changing your suspension as doing just the springs has ruined the progressive feel of the 33..... I've got to sort the camber on the rear wheels before I make a final opinion..... It's made it too grippy!! :D

its the 350z in general like the wheels on but just no keen on them I know I guy with one all ways breaking told there not built very well

I had a 350z for 18mths and drove the nuts of it,never had a single issue thought it was well put together myself,i just got feed up with the power as not enough of it:-),also have a nissan murano we have had from new and its been the best car we have ever owned, engine and box are great,but suppose its how you look after them.

same the 350z didn't come from factory with twin turbo

Ha ha fair enough :)

 

I wouldn't say they're unreliable though to be honest, I've had a 2004 and this current one is a 2003 and this one I've had nearly 3 years now with zero issues. Maybe your pal got a Friday one? :)

 

It's amazing the variation of standards that roll out of manufacturers nowadays.... I think I could be the only person ever to have an unreliable golf r32! 7 months ownership of a 2.5yr old car and every month it was back at the dealers for a major fault or two.....!

 

Luck of the draw I guess. :)

 

Gray stop talking about your murano, I'm already trying to forget they exist or you'll be seeing pictures of one of those on this thread next!!!!! :D

Although the Marano is a hell of a family bus engine and box are great well specked up:-),bit heavy on petrol when cruising over 80,this thing is one hell of a ugly bus:-), should I put some pickys up?

Hey Blackpool z32, haven't been on this forum for a few years and decided to pop on and found this thread. I used to own the 300zx you have pictured years ago and had it for 5 years and to date it has been the best car I have ever owned, always wondered what happened to it and if it was still around as it was a very clean car when I had it and when I found these pics of it I was glad that it's still out there... And in superb condition!!! That was 10 years ago when I bought it Anyway just thought I would post to say car looks amazing and really like the work that has been done to it:thumbup1:

He no longer has the car unfortunately, and don't know if he's still active on the forum!

 

sure is Last Activity:9th July 2014 23:49

Hi all,

 

Firstly sorry for the absence, I'm in the last two weeks now of writing my dissertation for my MSC.

 

So after that is handed in I will have a life again!

 

Nice to see the previous owner approved of my tinkering and yes I'm afraid it is true, the car went to France. I ended up with a murano, which I loved, but then had a go in my girlfriends suzuki swift and fell in love with the thing! Therefore the list of cars now looks like this:

 

350z,

Suzuki swift sport,

Volvo 850 T5-r,

E30 318 I lux,

Citroen 2CV,

E36 318is drift tramp,

Vw T4 camper van,

Yamaha R6.

 

I think you'll agree the list now has a fair amount of variety to it....?

 

I will return and am looking forward to the illuminations run if it's happening again this year?

 

P.s. There is a classic and modified show on in Stanley park on the 7th September that I have the 350 and the 2cv in.

 

If any mods want to post me and club flyers out then I'll happily represent.......? :)

 

Cheers,

 

Wayne.

 

P.s. I will pop some piccies up when I get some free time :)

Good to here from you Wayne:),thought I seen your zed up for sale at some garage in Blackpool wasn't sure.

Get some pickys of that 350 up bud,you done any more to it?

Hopefully we will doing the Blackpool run again:) that was a great weekend for us,best meet we have ever been on.
