Yeah, aches are so phat!!! Love it. No guide other than measure, cut, wrap and screw. You can get black uPVC suffix boards which is common now so one less step. Cheers pal, not bad for a daily DE 😄

Bought used and brought it back to great condition. I can only quick detailer mine as worried il ruin the burnt tips. Rest of the stainless I can reach I use mothers metal polish.

Gutting pal, and insurance won't pay out straight away as there's a chance it'll still turn up. Check the spot as you might see caster marks as they may have had it away on skates and then a dolly trailer once round the corner.

Attempted to the PPF the front splitter in sections and failed terribly, even made a template. Previously did my carbon bumper insert however this time she wasn't having none of it. Gave up on the idea and stuck a layer of sealant on to make myself feel better.

Very sorry to hear this, as on FB thankfully not a vehicle you hardly ever hear get targeted. How did they manage to have it away, keys or trailer?

Cheers pal. Soon be back on the road no doubt. Yeah made myself, might look to redo them as been on a few years now. Will go for gloss black wrap this time. https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/111683-db-nissan-350z-gt-05/?do=findComment&comment=1677658

The other day popped on on my lunch break for a drive and took some pics. Had her 6 years and still love each and every drive. With a last Fotor Filter

Took the Sunny over the Motoring Mecca. Every time I've gone in the Z, just been asked to follow round to the car park - that evening got pointed to a spot out front 😄

All the very best with the sale, that's cheap and will sell quickly.

Way I would look at it is, would I buy a 10yr car that was supercharged? Sure would if it was looked after. Sounds like a perfect once weekly to the office and weekend motor.

The other morning I messaged Chris over at @Tarmac@TarmacSportz to see if they had any stock for their Mines style front splitter, goes they had two on the shelf - so made arrangements to pop up to collect that day. Wanted one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Old splitter and carbon bumper insert off, quick clean up ready for the new item. Fitment was great however being a fussy bugger, i spent some time contouring the splitter where it bulked. Thought I'd rather do this as I didn't want to result to applying a silicon sealant, which can leave the splitter under unnecessary tension as your asking the material to pull/push into place. Unibond double sided tape for the centre and the side line up with the factory bumper lower bolts in front of the wheels. I also ran a torx self taper at the ends near the wheel wells for good measure. Absolutely chuffed with it and may look to PPF it as its in a high traffic area.

Been a busy ol' couple of months for car shows/meets, with going to MidlandZ Evesham meet, Japanese Performance Show, Caffeine & Machine x2, British Motor Museum club meet and Yakushi show mixed with Z convoys for each 😃 Here's a mix of my photos and ones sent to me. Truly wonderful times linking up with fellow Z owners catching up and driving out. Coupled with warning lights on two occasions for a brake light switch fault and airbag connector, mixed with at show repairs for clutch fluid level and sun strip fitting @Phil T ☺️

New Nissan Z Specifications (Features/Options/Configurator)
davey_83 replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
At the moment, it's kind of like discussing the picture quality of an 8k TV when the country you live in doesn't facilitate for the broadcast lol -
I can see this going backwards and forwards which I try to avoid..... Apologies as when you mention 'I think placebo' I took it that you didn't have direct experience and to be fair you still don't for a VQ *engine in question. I have now one fitted and can notice gains as per my build thread, irrespective of hypothesis.
-
Have you ever had one fitted to a car?

The speed to which the revs build, similar to the feel of a lightweight flywheel or wheels

To upgrade to a LSD it'll be circa £30 per month extra as the vehicle will be bought on finance agreement. -
Very good mod for the DE, notice a difference throughout the rev range. Had mine fitted for last 14 months with no issues. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311890702730

JAPANESE PERFORMANCE SHOW - 29th August 2021
davey_83 replied to 14N's topic in National Events & Shows
I knew a fair few of other Z owners both inside and out, you'll always get Z's on other stands which is nice. Was a Mega show, not as massive as years gone by however it was quality not quantity.
