I need some proper MPSS tyres Think I'm going again on that route tonight :lol:

I'm not that lucky, trust me! What a cracking weekend we had! Specially the driving on Sat night and Sunday afternoon

Still have her but that day will come soon

:yawn:

I think he kept following me this weekend, it can't be a coincidence!

It may look better, but doesn't perform as good mine! Wait, are we still talking about the gear knob?

Yeah, when using a microscope...

All complete now, ready to fit:

Door inserts removed, forgot to attach these photos, too. Will have the handle in matching red leather, and the middle part in red Alcantara. Taking them to AUTOAUDIO tomorrow morning, perhaps they can do them same day.

Here you go:

Not saying about the holes, just the way the stick itself is designed. I'll just take a photo with both, one sec!

Oh man, can I just thank the engineer who re-designed the 370z oil dipstick! So easy the read the oil level now, even Wasso would be able to do it!

It's a PITA to remove them once they stuck, had to cut the valve and replace it I then purchased these and use some grease on the thread http://cgi.ebay.co.u...ME:L:OU:GB:3160 Edit: Mine were Nismo from Tarmac, to be 100% accurate

Some more work done today on the 370z while awaiting for the Y pipe for the 350z to arrive from Mark @ Abbey, I had the HR version, stupid me Had some intermittent connection on the AUX IN port so I thought I might buy a new one from Nissan. Went to WLMG Nissan Mill Hill and they started laughing at me after checking the price: £75 !!! Went to Maplin, bought a connector and build myself a new AUX IN port The AUX IN port: The connector that goes behind it, coming from the central console: New stereo jack: Cut the connector: Solder new wires on the new connector: All working perfectly fine, time to fix: 30 minutes. Cost: £1.49 The I removed the door cards and so I can take the inserts to be re-trimmed in red leather and alcantara tomorrow, 10 minutes job, 3 x 10mm bolts and some clips Door cards back on the car while the inserts are being re-trimmed, so I can still use the car

Any fish?

Y pipe available? Need one!

Not much left now, just the calipers and discs.

Welcome! So we now have a contact in Japan, perfect! Me thinks: Hmm, some 370z Nismo goodies

Wasso, are you ever going to get some proper wheels? Cheapskate! :lol: So, has the Insignificant Crimes Police found your exhaust yet?

A little bit of development here, after nearly finishing with the "350z back to OEM", I've put the 370z in and removed the RT PERFORMANCE lettering: I've cleaned the red seats which were full of dust, grease and grime from where they were stored by the breakers: Used "two bolls of water" method :lol: some PEARS soap, a clean sponge and some Meguiars RichLeather at the end: First I've used the soap on all stains on the leather, leaving the suede part alone as it was quite clean. Then cleaned with the sponge Bob Dirt started to come off: The proceed on the rest of the seat: Looking brand new now, not one single stain! In order to condition the leather and seal it I've used some Meguiars RichLeather: Made the leather show the wet look, but no slippery silicone at all Fitted new airbag: Removed the main loom that was cut when the seats were taken out the car by the breakers: Fitted the passenger seat first: And the drivers seat after: They work perfectly, no Airbag error lights shown, all functions work fine Alezan 370z seats will be listed for sale soon, they will fit the 350z as well, I've checked

Some little progress on this, the middle black plastic bit was sprayed in dark red, the base mount and the top button were sprayed in dark gun metal grey. Also, I have filled the shift pattern on the top button, it's now completely blank and drying after it's been lacquered Although the photos don't show the colours perfectly because of the crappy iPhone photos and the neon lights in the warehouse, you can get an idea here:

Some good news here, the airbag has been sourced and fitted, the red seats are already in use Just need to re-trim the door card inserts next week, more details on by build thread.

All items sourced now, thanks for help!
