Add details

Obviously mods need to begin with. Car like that so..

firstly some sound upgrades as the 32 year Bose system has seen better days .. Anws pioneer headunit bought but had some issues with previously Alpine iso wires so I had to do a small surgery and tapping ( proper wires/connectors ordered ) and due to rear adapters not arrived in time .. was able to install only the fronts .. some pictures of the saga.. 

When I am back to Cyprus I will fit the rear speakers and decide if I will install an amplifier to the lot..

Further mods / future plans coming up:

Nardi steering wheel

Front tension rods , upper camber arms, alignment.

350z front brembos and custom brake lines

update with leds the instrument cluster

front headlight bulb upgrade thinking of xeon as Oem are … 🤬not very good 

some paint work to make her look a bit younger..☺️

 

Manual swab 🤞🏼

Coilovers ( meisterrs most possibly)

that’s the list at the moment will see what else will come up 😎🤗

 

Looking good Harry - thanks for sharing the pics!!

Nice parts list, I’m looking to a get a set of KW V3’s in the future, all the German car guys rave about them, great UK road compliancy and brilliant handling so best of both worlds. If you’re after manual conversions, contact Paul Clements at Banzai Breakers. He sells the most comprehensive kits and best quality. 

Thanks.. I will, btw I wish I could install them as soon as.. but unfortunately I will have to post all the bulky parts to Cyprus .. so it will take it’s time ..and I won’t be able to give you any feedback as yet.. 

I will post some pictures for the xeon lights/ interior leds etc rear speakers / amplifier and camera installation .. 

 

So back home for couple of days and … radio repositioned / wires sorted/ clock in the BIN and usb ports inserted.. LEDs so we can see in the car sorted / rear speaker upgrade sorted.. 

HID installed so we can see outside the car sorted need slightly more adjusting..

Nandi steering and boss installed 

rear trunk and front hood struts installed

tension rods / kw not installed as yet so I can’t comment on them ..

fuel gauge saw the Full sign for 15 minutes and started the downfall as excepted 😎😅

 

Now the problems are ..wheel hop and shacking when braking after 65km/hr around 40miles/hr

🤞🏼 it’s the tension rods but tbc 

Weird noise like mushing  on the driver side suspension to be sorted

More updates due to a friend backing up to his manual conversion I ended up with the parts..

manual gearbox from a TT, with short shifter

shaft 1/2 from the manual, vacuum pipe

Aftermarket light Flywheel used

 Sandwich plates, clutch pedal 

slave clutch cylinder with braided clutch line 

na master clutch cylinder. 
 

ordered the front and rear oil seals 

ordered a gasket for the front 

reverse light sensor due to being unusable(cut plug) 

got the staff from Ihtar in eBay Rev it Up with us. 
 

 

 

Also got the Stillen hicas delete from ebay

and a gktech en/vg clutch fan 

and an spec air filter from Torquen 🤞🏼 it’s not going to take 3 months to arrive as the brake adapters 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙄

Make sure to check the arms that you are bolting to the HICAS delete bar, might be a good time to replace those with it. 

Also heard quite mixed review on the GKtech fan so interested to hear how you find it! 🙂

I think it uses the oem arms ..but I will delete later on for now I am just getting what I can before I move back to Cyprus

I’ve also heard the same about the GK Tech fan. The Z gurus advise best to stick to OEM fan. 

You can spend your money more wisely:

Since I the gk fan I decided to ask before I act ..

It's a worthwhile upgrade from stock. For reference:

Cool 👌🏻 thanx

Back to Cyprus ! so front tension rods finally installed after fighting with intercooler pipes and sway bar so ..much fun but the braking shutter stopped and the car feels solid .. just need to find a way to install the plastic air deflectors for the brakes 🤪

Plan is clean it tomorrow and make them gold wheels shine again 😁
