Gathering up some new parts for the SWB. My new 25mm wheel spacers arrived today thanks to Matt at Driftworks :thumbup:

 

 

 

New targa top rubbers from ebay £40 for the two and they are £50 each from Nissan or Zcenter.

 

 

New targa roof locator this was on my lwb for a few months but removed it for the swb when the black lwb was sold

 

 

New SWB door rubbers which where got from a member here several months ago

 

Some nice subtle refurb parts! The little bits like that are what make a big difference when I look at cars, good going! :)

With the spacers, are you intending on doing any geometry setting? Camber or anything like that?? Or are you on standard suspension? :)

Thats true mate and the door and targa rubbers are still fairly good and will only leak if I turn the hose on them but I want to get the zed resprayed this Winter so rubbers will go on after that plus if you get a chance to get these parts at a good price snap them up.

They are going on a standered suspension mate and replacing the 25mm spacers I already have fitted but they are not hubcentric and at 60 to 65 mph I was getting a slight shake in the steering which annoyed me so hopefully this will cure it.

Ah I see :)

 

I only ask as I'm considering doing some suspension changes on mine, and you always seem to do a proper job on yours so was going to steal some knowledge ;)

 

I don't want to change my wheels you see, but they're only 17" so I'm thinking some trick suspension and a bit of camber adjustment might just make them sit nicely, they're already flush with the arches so I'll not be going down the spacer route :)

 

So f I appeared nosey then that's why :D

I didn't think the targa roof bar was interchangeable from swb to lwb, thought the targa glass was a different curvature, if it does then I'm gonna look out to replace my one now from an estate version.

So did I but when I put my new lwb targa bar up against the swb one they are the same size. Its the same for the targa door rubber they fit lwb and swb.Not shure about the door rubber as it was sold to me as a replacment for a swb. I will put pic's up when I remove the targa bar to show they are the same.

You're spending a fair bit on this car Gary, considering you're selling it to me shortly?

Never done spending mate but its worth it. Put the spacers on this morning so going for a test run soon. Wish me luck:biggrin:

Looking good Gary - and as Blackpool-Z32 says, it's the little things like that which can really make a difference!!
