  1. I picked up one of those Yale 4MP outdoor cams to have a play with, on the basis that they work standalone but can also be added to a larger system if I approved of the quality. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0795XM93D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I quite like it, will probably buy a two camera and recorder kit, and then add my current one as a third cam. The only down side to it is that because it forces IR at night, it's useless as a camera indoors pointing outside (I can't fit it to the external wall at my flat, but that's not an issue at my house), but that's not what it's meant for. The app is a doddle to use and set up was simples, quality looks good in my trials.
  2. Totally forgot about Envy, great shout Dan, all my envy stuff is in big containers in storage, so I've not used it for ages and they slipped my mind. Everything I've used from them has been good, well priced and in decent quantities to boot.
  3. For your snow foam lance, these style ones do decent foam (with the right pressure and snow foam) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEW-NILFISK-ALTO-SNOW-FOAM-LANCE-AND-1LTR-BOTTLE-FITTED-WITH-BRASS-ADAPTOR/251608271109?epid=680840714&hash=item3a95058905:g:Z8sAAOSwAHZUP6tT This style seem pretty generic, just find one that’s definitely Nilfisk friendly and order it. They look like they all come from the same factory to me. Personally I CBA with waxing that often, so I tend to use sealants. I use Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer at the wet stage, mainly because it’s grabby on dry paint, but also because it’s a doddle to use with wet paint and it leaves a decent shine with good longevity (given the ease of application). Some people find it streaks but I’m not one of them. It pretends to be a quick detailer, but I have it on good authority it’s more sealantesque. If you want genuine wax quality finish, I haven’t found anything as good as actually waxing, for that really deep, dripping wet look. If if you want something incredible that works in the wet and requires next to no effort, check out this voodoo magic http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/gyeon-q2m-wetcoat.html For wheels, lots of people like http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/sealants/finishkare-1000p-hi-temp-sealant/prod_589.html It’s an insanely huge amount at a very reasonable price, I don’t think anyone has ever used a full tin! As for suppliers, check out Forum Trader https://waxandshine.co.uk/ but also I use Polished Bliss a lot.
  4. Good luck mate, sure it’ll be fine!
  5. @neo-ninja Please can you post a For Sale ad in - https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/51-zeds-for-sale/ - that meets the Zeds For Sale rules. Thanks
  6. In the last fortnight I've pulled 2 screws and 1 nail out of my tyres, I'm starting to think this might not be a co-incedence. (I'm not seeing anyone's wife or girlfriend before you ask!) Fortunately, two of the three tyres were down to 3mm anyway, so no great shakes, but the last one was a brand spanker, so I'm a touch irritated - hopefully it's repairable. I'd always planned to get some CCTV around the house, but this has expedited my purchase. I'm thinking 3-4 cameras, IP enabled so I can remote in, at least full HD and with a decent sized box to record plenty of footage before it loops over. Anyone bought and fitted anything they rate? I don't really want to spend more than £400. Thanks.
  7. OMG this is so close! Love the neat install and the cable runs, nice job.
  8. When you get the blank search results, you'll probably be seeing the search terms you used interspersed with + symbols, replace these with spaces and hit Search Again. Alternatively, when you get zero results, hit the "More search options" button. Then hit the "Contain any of my search term words" option and "Search Again". I've not looked into why this happens, will do when I get time, but for now these workaround will have to do. I'll try and find some time today.
  9. That sucks, he’s done a cracking job, excellent foil to Harris. Hope this doesn’t mean more Rory, he grinds my gears.
  10. It needs a fresh kill drapped across the bonnet and some gun racking.
  11. Sure it's heavy duty enough?!?

    Good news for all forums, I wouldn't go back to them in a second though, far too late and I also deleted loads of pics from their site in a fit of pique. I would have stumped up 2-3 bucks a month if they'd done this right the first time.
  13. Sorry to see you go Si, the work you've posted up always looks superb and tempting to those of us who've always fancies a custom interior. I find it fascinating reading your posts and projects. It's totally understandable that as a one man band you've got to plan your time accordingly and being really busy is the nicest problem to have! We very much hope you'll be back once you've built your leather and alcantara empire! Good luck mate. I hope you'll still find time to swing by the place every now and again.
  14. Come on gang, it takes a huuuuge amount of effort to make national events happen. All you gotta do is turn up, have fun and enjoy the evening booze up!!! Coventry was brilliant, I'm sure this will be just as epic.
  15. You sure it's called Mohs and not Show?
  16. I did try and get a "Favourite Products' (not just ilogikal approved) vibe going in here. https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/100787-proper-wash-guide-add-your-favourite-detailing-products/
  17. The nuts and bolts look tricky enough to do, but the wiring is a dark art. Great effort doing all this yourself mate. Great build.
  18. It’s been an absolute rollercoaster, thanks for the time and effort, not to mention the smells. I need never look further than Revolt. 10 minute plus dwell times with fallout removers? I’ve always been a bit worried about leaving them on that long and it drying out, no issues during the test? Would you leave it that long on paint? Also, those wheels still need a refurb...
  19. Revolt is the winner. I know, it’s what I buy!
  20. Sensible move tethering the bumper on, just in case.
  21. Try Zmanalex, he’s taken a roadster to pieces and put it back together again, at least 5 times. He’ll probably have a used module too.
  22. Big nuts. In the floor. Also disconnect your air bags and heating, yellow tab underneath IIRC. Be careful, you probably should disconnect battery first for the air bags and pump the brakes a few times. They're heavy AF, remember to get them in position to come out whilst the electric is still on!
