Metatron Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Dear All I'm having to face the inevitable truth! Petrol prices are on the rise STILL!!! Like the pathetic 1p cut in the budget will really impact on anyones wallet, but let's not get started on that. So with that being said, I'm having to confront the fact that my beauty isn't going to get as much use and will have to be confined to weekend drives only That has led me to consider using a car cover to keep the Z clean and protected from the elements. Now I know that using a cover isn't perhaps ideal, but I don't have a garage and there's not one close by I could consider renting. I'm also aware of the possible pitfalls of using a cover i.e. condensation build up etc. However I did a search around t'internet and came across this company offering the following: http://www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk/acatal ... erCar.html I read through the info and it sounds like this would be ideal, breathable, fleece lined etc. The only possible snag is the fact that I've got the full Nismo Aero kit fitted and the standard cover they offer might not fit. I've emailed them to ask their advice and I'm awaiting their reply. What I want to ask you collective bunch of intelligent Zedites is, has anyone come across these guys before or had any experience with these type of covers and if so what's the opinion? Thanks in advance y'all, I know I'll get the right info and opinions here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 sorry for totally avoiding having any opinion on the question you've actually raised but........found this on fleabay - might save you some pennies http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-Nissan-3 ... 500wt_1156 Pretty sure Garygttdi is a member on here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metatron Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for the response Ricey and the link. I could be wrong, but I think the standard Nissan Z cover won't fit over a full Nismo kit, the spoiler is pretty big and makes it awkward, hence I've had to look elsewhere for another solution. Thanks for taking the time to post. Cheers buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have a cover zone sahara (inside version) cover. Its great and excellent value. Breathable and made to measure. they do plenty of options and perhaps would make you a custom on for the kit more info here http://www.cover-zone.com/?gclid=CJTMvf ... fAodvHj6cw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metatron Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Cheers Mike I had a look at the covers and they certainly look good, but I've gone with Hamilton. A very helpful chap there recommended that I purchase the cover to fit Skyline GT-R. He said that because it's longer and has an elasticated surround, in his experience it's fitted nicely on a Z with an aerokit. I'm waiting for it to arrive, then I'll give the Z a good wash and shine and check the fit of the cover. I'll give an appraisal on the forum in case anyone else is looking for a cover.
