Coilovers and wheel alignment *if you have decent tyres fitted already

I'm going to get some more for the fronts, now I know they work. Rear lamps take just a few minutes to remove and refit, being held by x3 easy access 10mm bolts.

Just fitted these for a plug & play application, so much better than the old style bulbs. https://streamable.com/ptq5d https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223597758402

Why ask an owners club for advice, if you plan to do your own thing anyway? The tyre review you linked was tested on a 15' tyre, which wont have been tested on a vehicle anything like a 350z. -

The OP had 3 years on thoe mixed budget tyres without much cause for concern. Just time to replace due to wear and condition. Michelin, Yokohama, Continental, Goodyear all very good tyres and ideally best to replace all four in your situation. When I bought my car it came with Michelin PS3 up front and Nexen N8000 on the rear. Did 4 track sessions, x2 wet & x2 dry and never had an issue. Just drove accordingly both on road and track. -
I have the same exhaust and think it's very good for the price. Some can fit with no issues and others require adjusting, this is due to the lack of quality control before leaving the factory I guess. I've had to bend my middle hanger, which takes a few minutes to do with a couple of big spanners interlocked. Mines been on the car for over 4yrs without any issues. This is a clip of mine as a drive by *I'm at the back of the field initially, @3:03 it sounds mega!!

Least you've found the issue fella!! And hopefully no damage done.

RX-7 owner now looking for a 350Z

Ello n welkom Definitely get out in a 350z to get a feel for one or two or three, for the £££ it's a pretty hard car to beat for the looks/noise/performance/reliability/rare ratio -

Evening @ Caffeine & Machine - Friday 20th Sept

14 cars all together at C&M for our meet, mostly Zeds so nor bad at all. Thank you to those that came and -
I know what you mean, public places and all that. I took couple sneaky ones before filling up then after paying came out and thought 'thats a picture' the side on one. Bent down to take the picture and the automatic doors opened up. As it was an empty shop I knew without looking behind it was the cashier. Who then said 'nice car pal, I have an 88 bluebird' that he's just restored. Then showed me a picture on his phone and it did look class. I mentioned to him Caffeine and Machine as he hadn't heard about it, took a few more pictures and went on my way.

Numbers look good on FB, but you never can tell for sure. Hopefully a few locals go, so I can drop into the mid pack to follow and not lead for once -
reverse and side lights aren't repeaters

Details for the next MBM are below, kind of end of season gathering that for once will actually include breakfast. This is a new spot for the club and very nice digs, which could material as a regular start to club meets going forward. Plan is to all meet up at Oakes Farm Shop and Restaurant for 9:30am, as this is the time for our table booking. According to their web site, I think they're going to open a tad earlier for us, as normally they open at 10am. Been here before and the food is amazing *breakfast menu below, as fresh as you like for obvious reasons. After breakfast ive mapped out a nice route to head up to Melbicks to meet up and have a chat about our lovely Datsuns. Date: Sunday 13th October Time: 9:30am Location: Oakes Farm Shop Balsall Street Balsall Common Coventry CV7 7AQ 1) davey_83 @valy can order his posh breakfast, while the rest of us enjoy our full English Cheers all

x2 buckets and grid guard is what I use. You don't need to touch the mitt against the grit guard. It's there to keep the dirt at the bottom of the rinse bucket and your hand can help release the dirt from the mitt. What I do is dunk, the fold the mitt like and sandwich and agitate then dunk again. Sort of like how you hand wash a piece of clothing if focusing on a stain. Also for a pre wash or to use out of a pump sprayer, use it autofoam at 10.1
