Now I know a lot of you remove your 'burgers' to replace with a 'Z' badge. What I want to know, is are there any companies out there who still produce the original 'DAT' badges. Or does anyone have them?? The earlier the better (before the Japs added their 'loser' word to the brand and re-named it 'Datsun'), if these are available? I'd really like to do this mod as I think it would be very individual and pay a little homage to the brand. Help me if you can Badger.

Not bad at all, those wheels are nice. You could have cleaned your arches and calipers up though whilst your wheels were off.

Ey up, do you have a picture of the paint match please? I'm only dubious as once I've done it there's no turning back without extra work involved! Also I don't have a paypal so do you have a bank account that we can transfer cash into? Cheers, Badger.

Don't know how to do that, not sure if i have that program! It's to late now as my pics are already on the forum etc so I'll take my chances. Plus if I find anyone with my plates they'll regret it i should think. The tinkers!

He He I think I started this!!! So I should get first dibs and maybe some commission from all the business coming your way Only joking. Quite importantly : Have you tested this mix out on your own calipers then? I'd be interested to see a pic of the paint next to a caliper if you can. All being well I'd like to be on the list of pain pot wanters as I need it.

Why can't it be MINE

Cheers Stew! Lets hope no one steals my number plate!

Cheers guys. Lowering would look good but only create problems on those bumpy mud roads/speed bumps/goodie wrappers etc

Check out my new post on spacers to a grey 350, and you'll see the grey reflectors fitted.

Now, then, I've fitted some spacers to my Z and she looks sweet! If you haven't done this yet and want to see before/during and after, then check out my photobucket. The pics aren't in order but you'll get the idea. I bought these from the Cougar Store with no probs at all so get your hands in your pockets! 25mm Rear/20mm Fronts. I also minted my wheels and calipers with a healthy dose of 'wonder wheels' and cleaned my inner arches whilst I was at it! Anal I know, but it was a sunny day, and it looks proper mint now. Shiny and new Any way, check it out if you're interested. Badger. http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt4/givememorepower/

just mincing with photobucket. when i'm done i'm gonna post the info on my spacers on my Z. very impressed.

nice on, i'm on it now.

Having the TC 'on' is surely for anyone who enjoys being called a big girls blouse.,(unless you have your 90 year old nana in the passenger seat). Route to heaven.........bug puff. You're RWD now. Check your tyre pressure and wear patterns firstly I'd reckon.

Now then. I'm trying to load pics from my pc showing spacers I fitted, the files are approx 1.4 each but the forum crashes when I try?? Any ideas?? Cheers, Badger.

Found these. I'll let you know if it's any good. Black alloy, hmmmm? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alloy-Beesting-Ae ... 240%3A1318

Yeah an exact match sounds very enticing. I only need a couple of splodges though, and imagine he'd need to mix up a fair bit of paint to get the colour. It might be worth your while making a post regarding this so you could sell to many members in small quantities?? I reckon you'd do pretty well. I would be grateful, if can you get a price/volume for me please including p+p. Cheers, Badger.

why thankyou.

Spent the day today with my car in my driveway. I went crazy with wonder wheels on the inside and teh outside and the everywhere of my alloys. They look better than they ever have done. Also cleaned my arches out and minted my Brembo's, they are now golder than gold!! Shined my tyres to a deep black finish. Sex. To finish my day of car pampering, I have treated my Z to a pair of rear 25mm and front 20mm Eibach Spacers that I bought from Cougar Store CS. I ordered these yesterday, and they arrived today! Can't complain about that service at all. CS very recommended by me. My car looks sexier than sex, really is just pure porn!! Very fat and the best styling mod i reckon by far. It should look like this from the factory. I'm in love

Took my wheels off today and went crazy with wonder wheels inside and out, and now they look fantastic. Cleaned out my arches, suspension etc, all nice and tidy. Makes me happy. I also attacked with violence my brembo's, and they look golder than gold now!! Problem is, after getting all of the crud off, I have discovered a couple of chips on the front ones, were bare metal is visible, nothing to cry about, but I want it done now before they flake. Probably caught by the previous mechs who've serviced my car I assume?? Not bad enough at all to warrant a re-spray. So anyone got any spare touch up paint, a paint no., or any ideas where to get some from please??? (I need three dots the size of a large pin head)

I'm impressed. So it can be done then!

How tall is it? It does look a little tighter than the honda one?

Yeah I meant the plenum, not the spacer underneath it!!! Have you personal experience of using the wire wool drill bits then? I'm a little worried about making it swirly like spaghetti !

When they fetch their recovery truck to tow you, they block off the entrance to the flats behind the barrier. This restricts cars coming in and out of the private car park. So.......I might stick a sign up saying that blocking/restricting the entrance if punishable/enforceable by means of clamping! That way next time the parasites turn up with their truck, I'll dash out and clamp them !!!!!!!!!!!

I think I might print a full scale photo of your engine and stick it over my engine!

Shall do. Ta.
