What did you do to your zed today?
Nice job Hellraiser:punk: really liking the tan interior, it goes so well with the red outer and black interior :thumbup: Best of luck tomorrow but I hardly think you'll need it with a car as fine as yours matey.

Fitting spoiler
If it's a genuine OEM one there should be 4 threads from the bottom of the spoiler that correspond to the holes in the boot lid, you have to remove the inner boot trim to screw the nuts on. If it doesn't have them, then it's a fibreglass copy, this can be bonded on with tiger seal etc. I personally am going to a body shop to fit my one. Whack up a few pics just to be sure. Hope this helps.

Brakes for big toys
Porsche Cayene / VW Toureg / Audi Q7 Brembo 17z and 18z calipers can fit the Z with the correct brackets, Jeep SRT8 Brembo's will also fit, you need to run 370Z discs front and rear. I'm building a set of SRT8 front and rear calipers at the moment (if the powdercoaters ever get them done). I also have a contact in the US who supplies the correct brackets for all these calipers:thumbup:

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel!" - Mondo's new Zed.
Yeah, but you're almost finished spending large amounts on it now:thumbup: All you have to spend soon, will be maintenance / servicing etc, everything else is done:biggrin:

Rare parts thread
^^^What he said:biggrin:^^^ The Mondo man would be a hell of a lot cheaper and would have a better than OEM quality / finish:thumbup:

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Loose Wheel!" - Mondo's new Zed.
Well FAIR PLAY to Mrs Mondo, she obviously knows (like some of us here) that you really would have regretted it. Just enjoy it for a while mate, I wasn't implying in my last post (06/08) that the car didn't have money spent on it, I was saying that the car owes little by way of monthly payments unlike modern performance cars, ie. the car doesn't have 3 years finance @ £400 per month etc. My Z is fully paid up also, I buy parts when funds allow, if I don't have the dosh, I don't buy anything. Your car is driving, you've got it to a nice standard and anything else you want to do to it is performance enhancing from here on, that can be done over time when you've some spare cash built up:thumbup: Glad to hear you're keeping it mate:clap:

Silverstreak to be broken up.
The yellow Z was just stunning Dave, any pics of it for the newer guys? Done in Ferrari Giallo Yellow and as far as I'm concerned, the nicest yellow Z of all time:thumbup:

I've a full TT standard system from the turbos back? It's off a Jap car but I'm not sure if there's any difference in the back boxes? In Ireland though, so don't know how much shipping would be They need a clean up is all.

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
Ha!!, I'd be buying another Z to fit the wheels to, if it comes to that, I'm never selling those wheels:thumbup: I can test fit the rear ones on my NA subframe to see if they clear, it would give me an idea anyway:thumbup1:
-
Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
I'm thinking the dish on my wheels might be a problem, most of the wheels fitted seem to have convex spokes, Mine are neither convex or concave, so hoping the flat face will be ok, might have to do a little tweaking with a small spacer (3-5mm), We'll see later on in the week. Fingers crossed:sweatdrop:

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
They're Jeep SRT8 Brembo's bud, the pads fit the R35 also:thumbup1: Quick pic from earlier to give you an idea of size The top is the SRT8, the middle is Evo8 and the bottom is for the rear:yes: Fitted to a Zed I'm not going for acid green though (Funkysi would have a heart attack:laugh:) I think they'll look well in red behind the Veilsides:thumbup:

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
Ha! I found that amusing too Lee, no, they won't fit z32 calipers:biggrin: the pads are bigger than a 500ml can and way bigger than regular calipers:whistling: They will fit my upgraded Brembos and the R35 GTR calipers. I can't wait to get my calipers back and start rebuilding them, hopefully ready to fit by next weekend :clap:
