  1. Wow over a yeah already. I've always thought factory tints should have been standard on the 350z, makes such a difference and goes a long way to keeping the cabin cooler during the summer with most cars supporting the black on black on black look interior.
  2. Lovely pics of the new motor. How did the recent visit to Porsche go for the refresh?
  3. Fantastic service from the main man 👍
  4. Don't worry about it, I was at JAE the one year and woke up in the Sunny trying to demist the rear window while pressing the rear fog light switch 🤣
  5. It was 10am, but I've brought it forward an hour - more time for Z fun. If you're not planning on coming a bit further up for the drive, meeting at the country park from 9am onwards is absolutely fine.
  6. Both driver and passenger had a BIG breakfast that morning 😂
  7. From the eye in the sky 85 cars I make it a FANTASTIC showing by the club.
  8. BBC1 9pm tonight 😁 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0bwtn6q
  9. Nice one Pete, get in there. Bit slow of the mark the Z34 lot, when it comes to nabbing a deal 🤣
  10. Ahhh yes, timeless upgrade right there. I remember clearly getting a set of Peugeot 306 GTi-6 wheels (£10 each) for my 309 1.3l Talbot engine Style.
  11. Been a few years since going to Japfest and it's rather overwhelming if I'm honest. You wouldn't get around half the cars on the club stand in a day, let alone the show itself. If I'm completely honest, I rather a club meet/drive out where you can actually see and chat to everyone while looking around a handful of cars properly. Obligatory show entry picture and a couple our brother took 👍
  12. Everyone remembers their first set of aftermarket wheels. Possibly another tread but mine were the TSW Catalunya 17' with Marangoni Zeta tyres - I thought I had arrived 😄
  13. I would tick that box then 🤣 To be fair I've always been fond of fitting the best tyres you can reasonably afford, especially on a performance car. Without question the biggest difference feel wise to a car like the Z33 or Z34 would be to go from mixed budget tyres to a set of UHP from Continental, Michelin or Goodyear. You should see the GTR club at Japfest, 95% fitted with MPS4's or 4S other than that the OE Bridgestone, track day semi slicks or Eagle F1 Supersports. By far the most popular tyre on our club stand was again Michelin, so there's more of us than you think.
  14. Picture of the MPS5 in the wild for all you tyre slags. Fair to say Michelin care about how their sidewalls look ☺️
  15. ello Saw this stunner yesterday, stick around 👍
  16. All cars were looking AMAZING!! tell that even from here 🤣 *Only 50% of the club stand
  17. I would leave one in the boot just in case 😄
  18. Lovely to catch up AJ and thank you kindly for arrange another amazing club attendance. I've been well and truly Japfest'd 😮‍💨
  19. Been a week or so and up she goes to do a final check over of the underseal as you can't really gauge coverage on the day of application. Few small areas needed a go over, however thus far I'm pleased to confirm that after a short drive the idea for the brake discs grooves work. You can see they are fairly well rusty as per usual after a wash and yet the grooves are still black. A longer drive needed to fully clean up the discs, but so far I'm impressed. Coming out of Autumn/Winter a check of the suspension behind the coilover socks also peaked my interest. As fresh as the day they went on, lock ring once loose can be spun by hand with easy. Highly recommend these particular socks for anyone who has coilovers, a no brainer as it's called in showbiz.

  20. Tickets and vehicle pass printed ✅ Weather once setup looking just about perfect also. Everyone have a safe journey on Sunday, slow and steady needed as it'll be barely above freezing for the time most of us will be setting off.
