No mention of the Nismo's big brake kit over the lower models, for shame. Very poor decision to have gone with the Dunlop rubbers, needed to be the Conti SC7, would have transformed the car as the tester wasn't best pleased with them.

Well done fella, all sorted ๐ values all reset to factory spec

It's just means moving the throttle butterfly. Pedal dance for idle speed reset will sort you right out *carried out on warm engine

I would just say having had stock, tein and Apex lowering springs the move to well sorted coilovers if you enjoy hustling the car would transform the drive feel over tired OE dampers. I've always had the mindset, round a track if Jason Plato could lap quicker than me in my car the power isn't holding me back from going quicker.

Car show looks sweet and Z33 flying the flag proudly for you still ๐ big plans coming up next then

Having not long refurb'd my 18' RAYS and with them fitted for the Anglesey trip, they naturally got proper grimy. Following the successful install to my Varrstoรซns, I had the bright idea to again PPF the lips. Never seen anyone do it before. Measured, cut and installed - barely even tell it was there unless really looking for it. By far the best protection for the part of the wheels that gets most brake dust abuse. PPF used Suntek Ultra

Mine had a loose negative battery lead as the Kwik Fit battery terminal wasn't quite big enough

Nice one ๐ -
Phenomenal day out ๐

I was going to say it looks like the filter was defective and leaking from the seam sadly. I've used K&N oil filters in the past without issue, just one of those things I guess unfortunately. Well done on the hoses, powder coating, upper plenum and valve covers, all looks grand.

Do it yourself, materials cost me circa ยฃ60

Anglesey with the club was a blast, personally my favourite drive out and conditions were great considering it was the end of March. Used the wipers for about 4 minutes on the way back across the boarder so can't grumble at that. Fuelled up ready for the day Home for a wash, decon and wax ready for Japfest Silverstone the following weekend Annual oil and filter change. Ally underlay with service hatch, but still take it off to have a nose round and wipe down underneath

Few bits to catch up on, 18' RAYS wheel refurb, Spring clean including arches, suspension raised 15mm all round and annual service. Previously painted before my ownership most likely to help with the sale, showing lacquer peel, corrosion coming through and a couple of paint runs. Nothing terrible but every time you'd wash the car however 240, 320 600 prep work - 2hrs each wheel Masked off and tac ragged over X3 coats of primer later 1st dust coat of silver My makeshift spray booth x3 coats of primer, base & 2k lacquer later with 24hrs between each stage Searched a decent amount of time for the right silver as most silvers are metallic, which I didn't want and think looks crap on wheels if you want an OE look. Products used x2 cans each, wheel barrels not done. 3 years in and the coilover still look fantastic under the socks, slacken the lower lock ring with the c spanner and it'll spin up the body by hand. Arches cleaned and dressed, 20mm wheel spacers refitted The raised ride height, damping and 45 profile tyres were a dream on the run out to Anglesey a couple week ago.

Do fancy this ๐

Brilliant day, long but brilliant! @andy james top work for arranging the club stand and being in the heart of the show was a nice treat. I was gutted to the issue unfold as you were parked next to me, hopefully safe and repaired without too much bother. On the interest matter forum v Facebook groups, we have both however it's a missed opportunity not to push meets and club stand interest on our 350z-UK Facebook group or on Car Calendar for example. I personally don't think the size of the club stand was bad in all honesty, it's the 2 or 3 club stands a year that makes folks look elsewhere for their car fix. No regional southern or northern meets, no meals out, no rolling roads days, no drive outs and thus folks will aligned with other car clubs that do make the effort to provide this. As soon as members of our Facebook group see the below while looking for shows club stands and meets they're off elsewhere.
