  1. Start it and drive off, have the valves closed on start up.
  2. Sorry to hear about that from last year. The import matter clearly has muddied the water with regards to year of registration however soon time to enjoy the Z 👍
  3. Nice motor and what a story, however MOT history goes back to 2008 at 25400 miles. It has no current MOT sadly.
  4. Those look fantastic pal!! I bet they hold you tighter than your true love. Steering wheel, gear shifter and now seats ✅
  5. I know it's subjective, however it doesn't seem easy to get a good noise out of the new Z 🤷🏽‍♂️
  6. You've played it well then infact being self insured effectively. Definitely makes sense like with most fun cars to have a repair kitty set aside for things other than routine servicing and repair work. Amazing to think in order to get a Porsche warranty for a used vehicle, one would have to possibly spend considerably first then again for the premium on top.
  7. Thought I'd give CarChem Lockdown sealant a try. Lack of use and correct wash technique meant there's been very little maring or contamination build up requiring claying or tar remover. Washed and dried, this was then applied in cross hatch motion a couple panels at a time given the low single digit temperatures. It's currently sitting on top of my go to drying aid Turtle Wax hybrid sealant, albeit a few weeks old. These will either compliment each other or il be left with little to no protection in a months time. Very nice to use, easy on easy off however can imagine in the Summer months would dry on the surface rather quickly. Left it on the rear glass a tad longer than idea and the rainbow flashing proved a little firm to buff off.
  8. Definitely sounds like a car whereby an aftermarket warranty is needed, however I doubt they'd cover those particular items being classed as wear & tear. @GranTurismoEra want the badge (synonymous with poise & refinement) need to spend the £££ Followed a Cayman the other day and while lovely, below a GT4 I wouldn't say they're a manly looking car in my honest opinion.
  9. Looks beautiful 😍 Keep the tinkering going
  10. Fantastic rediscovery, thanks for sharing. That 350bhp N/A car looks a right treat, very nice engine build. Tasty power considering it has OE cats still fitted. A great looking car then and among the VAG clone boxes even more so today.

    Tire stickers

    Of course, thoroughly clean and degrease they sidewalls - then do it all again.
  12. From eBay, can't find the carbon ones anymore sadly https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134179173323?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=U2fRSlGHTKG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=UVSJOLRJSwe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  13. Nice work on fitting the exhaust, been years since actually stood up to fit a system - axle stand life. Any pics of the tips now you've brought them out a touch? These are fairly quiet on the 350z so would make sense they're the same on the 370z. I absolutely wouldn't look to cut out the resonators on the system, warranty void plus you'll gain volume and most likely loose tone. The below are what I would be looking to get to increase noise while maintaining tone. https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/exhausts/test-pipes/19156-370z-torqen-helmz-resonated-test-pipes-trq-vqhr-helmz.html 🍿
  14. Nice one pal, which seat brackets you looking to use?
  15. It's the little details. Least now the next time it goes in for MOT or wheel alignment, the tech will know where reverse is 😅
  16. The boot spoiler above is in WV2
  17. I've held windscreen PF and it's like a sheet of laminate.
  18. Awesome stuff, great to see. How long till it's on the road would you say?
