  1. The Cube is a design classic! Nothing in that sector has its charm. Is there a name for the style of kits which are riveted on, instead of blended in?
  2. Danger Will Robinson! Was the facelift not 2014?
  3. Love your confidence Strudul, please post up pics. I've a funny feeling that this level of craftmanship demands a fair bit of skill and not inconsiderable practice. That said, trying anything is a positive move!
  4. I bought a used one off eBay and sent it off, but if memory serves, they will send you a loaner if you pay a refundable deposit (£50?). Get in touch, they're very friendly. http://royalsteeringwheels.com I didn't swap it myself, it was done with some other jobs by my tech, but I think it was a couple of security screws and a big nut. Usual safety measures on airbags, disconnect battery, etc. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/32500-how-to-remove-the-steering-wheel/
  5. Love is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about my Jack Royal steering wheel. It's a bit thicker, plusher leather, red stitching and a flat bottom. Simply the best £200 I've ever spent and I can't think of any other mod, for that kind of money, which even comes close to improving day to day Zed driving.
  6. Love these on mine, nothing budget about the improvements, especially if you can get uprated ARBs too.
  7. Sharpie or a pencil. Either looks rubbs afterward sadly. I'm sanding a centre console now
  8. Normally I wouldn't engage in this way but you've brought up a couple of items that could do with being addressed. See below youtube, I make it 27 seconds from high res image to attached. I appreciate the suggestion but I don't need to ask an IT professional, I am one. That said, I recognise it's low but we're not printing out these images or displaying them on a jumbotron. There are also image hosting solutions available. This is done to minimise expense and keep the resource free. There isn't any profit in it at all, no one profits, money goes on paying the bills, insurance and subsidising events for members. Would it be better if we couldn't afford to subsidise events, but image hosting was internal? I'd say no.
  9. Understood, thanks for the consideration. Hope you may consider raising it in future, cos as it is, it's really almost unusable, might as well not exist (saving further storage). Ta! No problem. I think to say it's "almost unusable" is what is currently being described as an alternative fact and somewhat of an overstatement. However, if you do want to continue the discussion, I'm open to PMs
  10. Suggestions are always welcome and it's something that has been suggested and considered previously, it's not lost on us that a degree of time and effort could be saved posting images directly on the forum. However, it's not currently viable under our free to members model. While image hosting sites continue to be free and support relatively easy to use image embedding, there is no dramatic need to change this and incur greater costs. That is not to say, like all the other forum arrangements, it's not under continuous review. We all want to ensure the balance of free and functionality is maintained.
  11. I'd deffo try that if you can't seat the ball joint otherwise.
  12. Wheels look perfect! Don't do anything crazy like paint em black
  13. Mine popped off once immediately after replacement, ball joint and the little clip weren't seated quite right. Once they're on correctly it'll be fine.
  14. I always rely on https://incartec.co.uk/Nissan If you want the full on screen mirror there's a few other bits and pieces you'll need too, this should help. http://www.pioneer-car.eu/sites/minisites/eur/page/products/appradio-mode/compatibility.html I must admit, I've not been blown away by app radio and just use Bluetooth to stream from my phone.
  15. BSD goes on nicest IMO when the paint is still wet from your wash and you're doing the drying, eliminates its inherent grabiness and leaves a nice finish.
  16. Posting up what you want to do in here instead of getting an approved swap is not the solution. I suggest a bit of named paper with the tips (or as much as you can show) would suffice. We wouldn't usually expect it to have to come off first.
  17. Cool build! I've got one but the most interesting thing it's done is briefly run RISC OS, to remind me of my youth, and it's now running XBMC. I wanted it to do so much more...
  18. I didn't know that about FL
  19. Fairy liquid would strip everything off but you'll have to wear a funny hat and sit on the naughty step if people catch you using it!
  20. I'm very happy they're landing with you all. Thanks for the positive comments and PMs If anyone has any feedback (even the bad kind) or suggestions, do post up or PM. I'll try and make relevant notes now so that it can be looked at when we get around to 2018.
  21. If you want to shift old product a diluted IPA wipe down should lift anything left behind. Or a product that does the same thing. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/gyeon-q2m-prep-cat9.html You could also use a dedicated paint cleanser. http://car-chem.com/store/pre-wax-cleaner-250 http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/dodo-juice/lime-prime-lite.aspx Or you could use a decon shampoo during the wash. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?msg=&catalogId=10151&DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true&langId=-1&categoryId=165682&productId=804711&storeId=10001 TBH I'm quite lazy about this sort of thing so I'd just use my regular shampoo at much higher concentrate than usual and then clay, if needed. Then some Gyeon prep after polish to remove any residue.
  22. 54 million Ugandan dollars or £349.50
  23. Oooooh, alright my loves. How much for the light weight battery? £120 you say. Higher? Higher? Lower? I'm going with £130 Bruce.
  24. I read a few articles that after Brexit there'd be an extra £350m for the NHS I prefer foamier shampoos simply because the more suds there are, the more lube there is on the mitt/paint and they seem to suspend and move the dirt along nicely, almost like snow foam but for the wash stage.
