Welcome along. Lots of long time owners and experts here to help you along your way.

Okay thanks - I'll get a set. I want to get Abbey to do a four wheel alignment check, so I'll get them fitted by them before they do that. Agree it's far easier to do it with the car in the air, rather than manhandle those wheels at ground level and jacking up each corner!

Horley, not too far away. I've owned my Z since 12th February and seen just one other since that date!

I'm just used to the usual suspects, Castrol and the like. If Abbey use it then it can't be bad stuff!

Apologies, did look but couldn't see a time.

Welcome along, hope you find a good 'un!

Martin - Is it a daytime or evening event, or both? Never been to the Ace on four wheels before so I'd like to come along, but I could be restricted to early afternoon or evening, not sure which yet!

@Payco With summer coming and, more importantly, restrictions being eased somewhat, any thoughts of a local meet being formulated yet?

Yep - Asad will be along soon!

Cheers Willsy - no plans to drop it either and I think, as you have done, 15mm all round will create a subtle but effective improvement. Do you mean you bought the Tarmac Sportz spacers branded as Japan Racing? Thanks

On the subject of plates 'n' plinths, has anyone found or fitted Jap/US style number plate plinths - the sort where the registration is displayed double layer, per an imported vehicle? I've found just one option, but it's in the official Nismo catalogue at a ridiculous price!

Abbey replenished my oil with Millers a few weeks back on its P1 service. Can't be sure of the grade without checking the invoice, but it must be good stuff.

Are you still about AliBear? Be interested to hear about what Abbey fitted and how the car is now.

Ah okay Mat, how did I miss that?! See what you mean now. What brand is fitted in your photo above and any recommendation on suppliers? I think I use H&R on my BM. I'm looking for 10 or 15mm, not sure yet. Depends what the standard set up on a 2017 Nismo will allow, which I need to investigate. The front wheels in particular sit a little snug within the arches, so just need to come out a tad. Thanks.

Okay, dim question time if I may. I've in the past added spacers to wheels that sit on hubs of the bolt, not stud variety. A 10mm spacer then requires a 10mm longer bolt, easy. Our Zs have studs, so when you add a spacer how is this compensated for?!

From Leicester to Surrey, seriously?! I live 10 miles from Abbey and consider that to be a slight pain!

Welcome along!

That thought did run through my mind but thought best not to go there!

That is just an unbelievable amount to pay. I pay £150 per year for my 2017 Nismo. Had I bought an earlier one it would have been over £500 and if mine had a list price of over £40k when new (it was just under) again, it would have been over £500. So, a 2017 model with the list price under £40k was the sweet spot. But over £1.5k? Criminal.

Yes sure, there are Sussex meets every so often in normal times. Not been here long myself so yet to attend one.

Welcome along - you're quite local (ish) to me.

Isn't road tax ridiculously high in Ireland? My 540 (2001) would be waay over £1k, according to an owner I know over there who owns the same.

Welcome along.

Are you saying that the subject of engine oil was brought up on the MOT?

Is there a smaller plinth option available? The Japanese plates are similar to US plates, so the car may have a US/Jap option.
