So this might be a bit to some of you as i've had a few goes at doing this before, but last night i made a new set of LED reflectors. In the past when i've made these i used quite small LED's and didnt use any holders, but i've made this set using 8mm LEDs and some slim bulb holders. Im really pleased with how they've turned out.... although no fitted pics. It'll be late Feb before i fit them probably as my zed is SORN'd until March. I've got no plans to start selling these as it just takes too long... Its about 3-4 hours work per pair.... the measuring and drilling takes most of that time, the soldering is the easy bit. Here's some pics:

Hopefully this is not a repost... i've had a search and cant find any discussion on it. I found an App on the App store yesterday called 'Action Cam' which will overlay your speed and G-Force onto a video, so if you're on a track day and have a windscreen mount, it will make for some pretty interesting videos I had a quick Youtube seatch and cant find any vids of it in use on track, but there was someone using it on the road to give you the idea.

What drop is that on the rear?? It looks very low.

Looks great. Much prefer the JDM rear.

Reversing aids? Bit late now, you should have worn a nodder. ...but how can you keep bumping into things?? Just have a look around either before you make your maneuver, or before you get in the car at what your potential obstacles are - then nothing will surprise you.

How did it look before? Both my zeds have had cubby lids like that, and i always see people talking about it on here but i dont know what the other type looks like?

Treated myself to a couple of Diecast models last night. I've always wanted one of these but they're usually so expensive. There is a shop called Model Zone in the Trafford Center and they have the 1:32 scale diecasts for between £60 and £100. However yesterday they had a big sale on and had some of the cheaper Burago models available... and i got a pair for only £20! The detail on them is superb, and i spent a long time looking at the more expensive counterparts and i honestly can see no difference.

If this happened to my car it would be like the movie Taken. I would be doing a liam neeson driving around all the crappy areas of town to find out who did it, and then i would set fire to them when i found them.

Paint them yourself. I did my winter wheels myself for about 40 quid in materials. Okay you might need a spare set of wheels while you paint them, but got to be easier than finding someone with the wheels you want, who is willing to swap. Worst case scenario is you balls it up and then get a refurb anyway, and you're only out £40. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53825-fitted-newly-sprayed-winter-wheels/page__hl__wheels

+1. There will be sessions for mixed cars during the day - this should be kept to zeds only in my opinion.

Dont knock it till you've tried it Dave... (not the angry birds ). I think its just easier to see when on a HUD and its not distracting at all. Its because you dont have to adjust your focus to see something near and then back to far again. You can just sense it in your peripheral vision. Anyway, i emailed the company in Taiwan selling the iphone projector and they want $175 for one, and im not paying that

Rare as rocking horse @*!# mate in white. You'd be best buying the cheapest colour and getting it wrapped in white instead.

I thought last years was the 10th anniversary? Either way - a great show in my opinion.

Happy Birthday pal, hope you have a good one!

When the car is imported, it will have to go through an SVA test. As part of this they change the main speedo to output in MPH, and every import i've seen has a tiny square of black electrical tape stuck over the k in kmph, so it looks like mph. You can barely see it.

Should be a straight swap but if you can find a pair for less than £800 then you're doing well.

When are you going dude? Im in Prague on my mates stag do from 18-22nd April... 5 day bender!! There are 12 of us i think. Were staying here: http://www.capitalapartmentsprague.com/

You can fit the UK spec guage pods as a straight swap and they work perfectly.

If you can provide the reflectors, then yes I can retrofit the LED's for you. PM me for more info if you're interested.

Wjen you turn them on do they flicker very slightly first, before appearing to warm up and get brighter? Is so they're HIDs. If you have them you can buy bulbs off eBay for about £9 each. You need to buy D2R bulbs, and you just need to increase the colour temperature. I think the standard bulbs are only 4300k which are very yellow. I have 10000k in my car and they are perfect white, but i might try 12000k next time for a bit more of a bluish tint.

Licking your finger? I just watched the video - that was ace! Ronnie O'Sullivan came across as a bit of a paedo.

Dont bother, mine did that and i spent ages trying everything on it but it never came back.
