Gotta say you do a great job looking after your Zed. Keep up the great work!!

Is anyone up for going?

Im planning to do rust proofing on mine soon too. Kinda.dreading it but also really want to do it

Your rims look good 👍

Front splitter for Nismo V1 bumper. Fancied having a splitter but never found one designed for my bumper. Once i finally happened across one i snapped it up and fitted it. I propped it up on some cardboard to see how far i wanted it sticking out etc Once i decided on that i cut off the excess Then it was a tricky part of drilling holes through the splitter and bumper for lots of nuts and bolts to clamp it in place. Took a while but its been on a year and still holding fine. I wasnt sure at first but its grown on me and now i cant see it without.

Looking good, reminisent of the work I'm doing on mine. Taps for the threads are a godsend - so often they're fine threads though so watch out. Unfortunately all the work I got done in this thread ( ) has mostly started to get rust inside again and rust stains leak out. Dynax S50 to the rescue

Bump. Open to low ball offers : )

So I wire brushed the underside of all the mating areas and treated it with rust converter. Leaving it to sit over night now before giving it a lick of paint. Before re assembly with new parts bolts and nuts. Also as for the splash shield. I'd bought a replacement part but yeah. I havnt the patience to fit it. It's not structural and it was a seige of a job to rip it out. As like most people I didn't want to remove the exhaust and the drive shaft. So I ripped the rusty thing out and If anyone wants to buy a cheap new unused splash shield you're welcome to it.

After allot of very careful work on these bolts I managed to get them all out successfully. It was a game of patience. Wire brush. A good set of hex sockets. And being really gentle with the breaker bar. One thing I learned during this job was the importance of loosen untill you feel pressure. Then re tighten. And repeat. Over and back over and back (basically forever) to clean the threads as you go. And never forcing things too hard. That and wd40 helps. Also for the big nut in the kidney bracket the impact gun. To loosen and then tighten over and back over and back. Which also made the nut hot and easier to take off. It wasn't easy though. But so relieved to have the whole thing disassembled without breaking any bolts or captive nuts.

So the car failed mot for the first time in my ownership. The kidney brackets and the "splash guard" piece that runs between them. A previous owner had already changed the w brace to the ultra racing one. But the kidney brackets weren't in great shape and I had been waiting for thos to eventually happen. When I had a look the bolts were really rusty and il be honest I was nervous. Especially as I could see that one bolt had already been broken by previous owner...

No worries. Thanks all the same

Have PMd you bud

Saves starting a whole new thread, fair few group members booked up for this. Be nice to have a few of us together also. https://opentrack.co.uk/view-dates?view-event=444

The base price of Sport and ST models are coming down and used should be sub £30,000 by January 2025 when production normalises. A lot of people are already running the car in Japan. In US some are being sold by first owners. In Japan only a handful are being given up. The cheapest ive seen are left hand drives in US. In Japan ive seen £32,000-35000 shipped. Obviously you will need another £10,000 to clear. This is roll on roll off. The risk of damage and sea salt on your car when unloading or loading. Nothing a jet wash and sealant cant fix. Lol. Container is around £5,000. Safer just drive it out of a grounded container as opposed to off a steep ramp. The clearance percentage includes the container and marine insurance costs Thats a 22 or 23 plate with hardly any miles. For anyone looking. Personally if using a merchant id get the address and go see what im buying and make sure it gets to the port. 😂 On the flipside you can import a GR86 or BRZ for around £17,000....why pay £30,000 for a UK car. Can even get an Automatic too. Not many GR Corollas though. What a shame!

Cheers mate. 20mm should be okay but really don't want to go lower than that.

These looks mega now pal, very nice

Wheel colour change and refurb. Had gloss black wheels for years and was tired of it. After visiting a few places and looking at various options i decided on this bronze. So it was goodbye to the black Hello to the bronze Very pleased with the way these turned out. Love the new colour and the service from First Aid Wheels in Finchley was excellent.

There are 2 types of Tein springs providing different drops if I recall correctly. The top mounts that I supplied will fit the KWs

Done that. Duracells.

Hi Alex, they're tein s springs, so 17mm front, 15mm rear I think. I got some low mileage top mounts off you to go with the bilstein shocks , so hoping they would fit the kw's?

KW V3 -20 -40 mm front and rear, remember top mounts are not adjustable. There are 2 types of Tein springs for the 350Z both with different heights, so to compare, you will need to know what type you have.

That ^ cheap fixes first, key fob batteries are 2032's
