Am I reading that right when it says the walls are made of chicken wire? Either that or the new carpet is made from chicken wire?

Shifter cable arrived quite promptly and was quickly all plugged in - what a beast it is! Such a great feel when shifting! I have been using it mostly in SQ mode but it is awesome. I have also been busy re-wiring (and tidying), moved the button box up, and completed my dash mounting. Maid from some wood, carbon wrap and an old iPhone. Fits really nicely behind the wheel and gives a much clearer view of gearing and rev lights. With the triple screens you seem to cut off most off the dash due to the viewing angle. But this is a good fit. Yep, I know the button box is mounted sideways, but it is far more accessible here than where it was before behind the shifter. Getting into the GT3 series on iRacing ATM so if anyone on here is still active and fancies some practice sessions let me know and we can work something out. Always good to have some company.

Thanks bud still grin each time I jump in it which can't be a bad thing! Hopefully get a couple of mods started over the sunmer - no money at the moment!

I did that, but I used a Mercedes M113 engine lol. Bought the entire thing, still running, for £300 delivered! Sold a lot of it n got a nice 5.0 V8 table. Be warned, it's a lotta work taking them apart while trying not to break things, and you'll spend double your budget making it haha. Had mine powder coated in a bright silver, and used conrods/pistons for feet/arms for the glass. Conrods were painted gunmetal for a bit of contrast. And glass is more expensive than you might think! I was surprised by the price of glass, in a good way. Mine was I think £40. Link below for some pictures of my Z coffee table. Had the block powder coated silver, rods gunmetal. Then pistons and top faces of block mirror polished. Still looks great a year on And it has LEDs http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93863-my-z-based-coffee-table-is-finally-complete/ Alex - might be after a couple of pistons (no rods) in the near future for my next furniture idea. How much would 2 with postage be? Cheers, Matt

Weight saving?

[quote name='SuperStu' timestamp='1452625676' post='1573330'] Payments flying, not long now to get onboard the Calendar bandwagon [/quote] Hey Stu, Buster is on holiday for a while yet, not sure if there is a deadline for this? If yes I can pay then we can square up on his return (assuming he still wants one )

Awesome build!!

If you stop doing this, and run matched tyres all round you will be fine

Great read mate, good heap of updates made there Loving this way of wiring up LEDs. I have done things in the past and used a separate wire for each one and it took forever!! Good effort. Don't let Ekona see this

Ouch!

Nice setup Linus Day of mixed emotions here. My Fanatec SQ 1.5 shifter arrived from Germany..... But it was package 1 of 2. Package 2 of 2 (delivered this coming Monday) contains the USB cable required to connect said shifter to my Racing PC. So all I seem to have over the weekend is a rather expensive paperweight But atleast I can spend some time getting it mounted to the rig etc ready for when the cable does arrive.

Who?

Thanks dude. Yeah I'm really glad I pushed the boat out as I was almost set on getting a HR. It's a lovely upgrade!! Your latest project is looking sweet dude! Always liked your 350 but your 370 is pretty special now!

Cheers Flex. I'll let you off what with all the Skyline excitement of late. Hope your enjoying it

Shameless But, on a serious note, I was reading this thread the other day. I am going to get mine looked at on the next service. With the oil issues seen on my 350 I don't want problems here too! I'm also investigating fitting an oil pressure gauge in place of the stock digital clock in the left hand pod. The sat nav tells you the time anyway

Will drop you a PM matey once I work out what prices they are going for and see if we can do a deal Rig looks cool Simon. My colleague used to be into the flight sim side of things, I think he even had that same flight 'stick' thing

Just caved and ordered the Fanatec SQ 1.5 shifter...should be here soon So my TH8A Thrustmaster will be available in the near future of anyone is thinking of moving away from the paddles? Really adds to the immersion and being able to use H gate and Sequential is great. Let me know if you could be interested. I will check the box but think this supports consoles and PC.

This was quick!! Only talking about your next car the other day!! Managed to sneak it past the wife then? This car is spotless and someone will get a great motor here Let me know if you sell the spacers

Thanks Marty, will take a look at the software Yep, AFAIK YouTube will use a 'Shazam' type thing to listen for music and stop them from playing. Happened to me a few times recently.

Nice looking Z. What software did you use to make the video?

Nice Christmas treat to yourself im looking to get spacers for mine next

Also, got my GTE rim on ebay if anyone is tempted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281896574945

Awesome!! And the Supra & AE86 I like AC but for some reason i get really weird feedback/vibration through the wheel when playing. I keep playing with the settings of the wheel but cant find a happy config just yet. But having a Z will make me put in more effort to get it right
