    Agreed, however as many manufactures do. I think initially manufactures quoted in bhp till then later PS following the trend. 276bhp - 300ps - 313ps. Still better than down under where they state in kW

    276, 296, 308 why is it so hard LOL

    Unreal to think you was able to polish that back up by hand wow!! you must be chuffed. Bumper great, heat wrap effort though....... Very much worth removing the y pipe (x6 nuts/bolt) to do neat, as its only a job you ever want to do once. Also when on the move going forward in the wet means, water will collect the way you've installed the wrap ie starting front to back instead of back to front if that makes sense. You want the folds to be facing towards the rear of the car so any water just hits and runs off rather than collects. Ideally also the wraps needed to be installed damp, this allows for tighter fitting and when you start the car the burning smell goes after the first drive and doesn't come back. Correct head wrap ties are very cheap also and wont attract heat soak nearly as much as a jubilee.

    Looks straight out of a game!!! Steering with so little contact patch must be so nice and light. Question, does it drive awful round bends at speed?

    Its the return of the MidlandZ Breakfast Meet We've put together a breakfast meet and drive out to a second location 40mins away. Second location is a bit special, however I will keep this a suprise for now. Every 350z/370z club meet I've been to the folks have been brilliant, whether you've been a dozen times or it's your first - everyone gets along. Date: Saturday 19th September Time: 9:30am First Location: Toby Carvery - Stonebridge Coventry Rd MarstonGreen Coventry CV7 7HL If you don't fancy breakfast however would like to join for the drive out, leave time is 10:15am from the Toby Carvery. Entry is £3 per vehicle at the second location. ————————————— - Rules of attendance - ————————————— No adverse noise, speeding or anti-social behaviour, it's taken years to build up relationships with locations to hosts meets so let's keep this going for the club. Current social distancing reduced from 2m to 1m for pubs, cafes and restaurants. Seating will be inline with government guidelines for hospitality. 1) davey_83 - Breakfast

    For these cars its always best to ring a few specialist brokers like Adrian Flux, Chris Knott, Reis, Sky, Greenlight Brentarce etc. If a vehicle is sadly stolen or written off, the insurance company will always initially low ball offer you in pay out however if you can prove pre incident condition and examples of similar vehicles recently or currently for sale then they can take that value into consideration. I had to do this with a past claim on a vehicle and got what I wanted, bought the car back at salvage value 10% and sold it as it was for nearly as much again.

    And yet weight isn't the defining characteristics for a GT car as 4 out the 10 'sports cars' in the below link weigh about the same or more than a Z....... Also power isn't a defining characteristics, as the below link shows cars with a very board power range to which the Z would feature in the middle. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/best-cars/top-10-best-affordable-sports-cars

    I can appreciate the work and love that's gone into modifying this car for sure. It's an import and this particular example is of a lesser spec than a UK car. Isn't my cuppa but definitely a head turner, it's a great colour.

    Cheers pal, but this wasn't mine for a change - Scott from @Drive-R arranged this one, his first ever meet and was chuffed with the support.

    Few pictures from today's Drive-R Midlands club meet. Really nice to be able to get the club together during this depressing time allowing folks to remember everyone's in the same boat and to remind us of our shared hobby we love so much. Weather was glorious and a few days prior myself Charles and Jamie arrange to link up to head over to the ore meet at Corley services. From there is was a couple junctions south in convoy with a handful of Zeds to the meet.

    All clean ready for the Midlands meet tomorrow

    Cheers fella, the mic on the GoPro does the sound no justice. Was a massive gamble but it sounds unreal
