What is envolved in fitting the Zcentre wide arch kit? they are £530 + vat with the fuel cap not as much as i expected. I wouldnt tackle this myself but if i was to get a body shop to do it just wonder how much i would be looking at and how long it would take them. Would they cut the rear metal arch out behind or does it go over the top?

Just asked for an update from Thor. going to give me a call back with more details but.. they did say my new wheels are on and they stick out the rear arches allot. Ive not seen it so not sure how bad it is, changing the wheels isnt really a option as they were very expensive and took 6 months to arrive as it is. Sticking out the arches will look silly and possibly illegal. So what are my options? I know Do-Luck make stick on arch extensions but who else make them and different options availible. i cant spent too much money on this e.g. full wide arse kit at the mo as there are far more important things to spent it on. not sure i even like them.

Do you mean like the Ash Spec one? http://ashspecz.com/ashspec/Double-Pass%20Radiator/DoublePassRadiator.htm i bought for my koyo not sure how they fit stock rads.

cant wait to hear what it sounds like, going to sound crazy!!

woops i mean reduce to a 2.5" This is a true 3" system from the turbo right through to the rear box

they dont all reduce to a 3" I have a Labree exhaust system with Specialty z down pipes. 3" downpipes, 3" mids, 3" Xpipe, 3" piping into rear boxes. Hang on i even have pics.

just realised you have removed your rear seats also, have you got any pics i can see so i can see what it looks like.

Nice pic but do you have another showing how you done the harness? targas cover the mounting point.

Yeah me too, I got a quote for one of these from Apex performance, but didnt buy out of princible when i found out who the dealer was down to a past experiance with them. Come with new shyrnco or however you spell it also wooo... can you can even specify your ratios is required.

There are a couple of options. roll cages http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanceparts/Nissan/300ZX/Suspension/Roll_Cages and the Miracle cross bar. Scroll down there are 3 options 2 for 2+2 and one for the 2 seater. http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bccatpartlist2.php?make=Nissan&carcode=Z32B&intake=FI&category=suspension If you order anything let me know as i am interested how you get on with it as on my to do list.

Depends how much you are in a hurry for them as i had the greg dupree (specialty Z) super splits and had to replace them with different ones when changing my turbos. These will be up for sale soon and will also have some decat mid pipes to go with them if needed.

i knew that :p I would suggest a smaller lighter fuel tank but seeing the fuel consumption of a Zed i wouldnt want a smaller tank

Stupid question but what is a fuel cell?

Good find but i just read that too. convertible only :(

Someone on here has painted theirs with Hammerite i read it the other day. You may laugh but actually it looks a really good job and something i am tempted to do myself.

show off... :D i dont know if i dare. what i can and cant do when i get my car back as it may void the warranty on the new engine build.

i found this lists how to remove Carbon canistor PRVR EGR AIVs etc. etc. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/197490.html But which ones are worth while and which ones would be silly to ditch?

meant to be watching from the beach over the ocean

woo... no more uni. what after uni?

Vans or Etnies.

inertia reel technology? huh?? what?? when?? :D

oh and the arial, that had to go, never weighed it though.

oh... what have i started... :D i can see it happening, someone is going to jump on the scales in the buff, no pics thanks haha. rebuilt engines prob weigh less than stock ones down to the forged parts but on the down side i have a big front mount intercooler but to be fair that isnt that heavy and the stock ones are fairly heavy, bigger rad what else have i added bigger turbos mmm... hids :rolleyes: i have removed the horn, well... kinda removed it, fell off over a speed bump.

there may be a problem there though as the strut brace is further back than the seat belt points so after it has gone over the rear strut brace would have to come back on its self. not sure on the length either as that is a much longer route.

That is a pretty nifty idea, i could take them back to the trut bar then down the back of it bolting into the boot. however the harness may not be long enough.
