Let's hope nobody on here ends up needing it, but good spot.

Love all this dipping stuff ~ gives some really impressive results.

Looks very nice Sam. One thing though ~ when you get new tyres don't let the tyre fitters put wheel weights around the Rays alloy rim. Should be using stick on one's inside the alloy otherwise it will damage the wheels imo.

Think you'll need to up your bid just a tad brillomaster. Look's awesome.

No idea sorry SamN ~ It is likely though if your still running on original bushes as our cars are getting older. Maybe PM Mark from Abbey to see if he can give you some better advice/parts prices.

I believe VDC is just what they call the TCS on JDM Zed's. Basically it's the same as our traction control I believe just under a different name (initials) for Japanese markets.

Very cool although it does mean that you may now need to buy the new parts. According to there blurb it does free seized nuts/bolts so a blow torch on them may make no difference. New part's shouldn't be too expensive though I'd have thought. Good luck.

Definitely worth a try I'd say. Not sure what this magic magnetic heat thing you speak of is though.

I always use Fuchs oil as well. Have done ever since I had a Type R around 4 years ago and highly recommend the brand imo. Do you think some of these engine failures though could just be down to the age of the vehicles & poor service histories. eg: running on wrong fuel/oil ~ not following correct service schedules ~ low oil etc. ...and just coincidence there all happening at once it seems?! I think this may be the case The blown engines you've seen recently did they all come from similar age/mileage cars? No - one was a 2006 with 65k the other a 2003 with 80k You run low / no oil in any engine you WILL kill it! performance engines just go quicker. Definitely.I check my oil level very regularly. Just common sense to do this I think but unfortunately common sense doesn't seem all that common nowadays.

Did they try putting some heat in to them using a blow torch or similar do you know? Sometimes this can help free them off.

Think it's 350Phil's. http://www.350z-uk.c...60-bye-for-now/ Feel sorry for the guy as I heard he doesn't really want to sell but circumstances are forcing his hand. Would be nice if it went to another member on here, who looked after it.. +1.

I was thinking the same. Change hours for days and that would probably be my progress at home. Ok maybe not that slow but dam they worked quick at stripping that Zed.

^^ No doubt.

Very cool of you guy's. Subscribed for a happy Christmas ending to this tale.

I did think it was him but wasn't sure.

Just found this on eBay; http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cbd5c1728 UK seller here with a 350Z style sticker ~ although it's a Paul Walker memorial sticker it might be worth an email to see if they can make a sticker up for you Fluke; http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5401d8da1a Different design here on the same theme (350Z); http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c782ebe06 Hope that helps.

No it's not I do agree ~ more awkward though than anything.

No, no you're not. Yeah the guy who designed it thinks it's great.

"for Mum" sticker. Sorry ~ back to your question. I'm sure that there is someone who makes stickers on here but can't quite remember who it was. RTbiscuit?! no sorry, can't remember. If it comes to me I'll let you know. Not much help I know.

Trains are the first things cancelled when it shows and buses take years to turn up. Two great reasons for not turning up at work I think.
