Not really set on budget yet, probably £8-15k depending on what makes the most sense? Would stretch for the right car though I guess. We’ve just started looking so thought I’d ask people who’ve owned them if they’re still worth it today. Just want something we can work on together.

I can cut holes for you if you like. I must warn though, I have zero experience

Decided to do some more before the track. Bought following: Motul multi ATF - 10 litres Transmission screen and gasket Nissan differential fluid - 2 litres Motul RBF 660 brake fluid - 3 litres Nissan green coolant - 10 litres K&N Long-life Air Filter EBC Yellowstuff brake pads Also.... drumroll.... NEW HEADLIGHT LENSES! I will do all these in two weeks time. In the meantime, please let me know if you think I am missing something It is just 20 minutes novice track session but whatever

I was thinking more like a meet where we can have something to eat and/or drink as well. I found two places in the middle of everyone Rainbow on the Lake The Bridge Inn Both in a very good location, reasonable drive for everyone, have food and drinks and looks like enough parking for us. I will visit both of them in advance and see if they are happy with us gathering there. I also want to see how busy they are during evenings to decide if I need to book or just turn up. Thinking Saturday evening, to make sure highest turnout, but we'll see

What's your budget?

Genuinely not sure. The carbon bonnet has threaded inserts and the three OE latches are solid enough. But at 80-90 (on a track obviously 😉) you can see the bonnet starting to deflect upwards. Not unusual for carbon. I guess its a case of have them and not need them over need them and not have them. I bought some aero catches, and also bought push button which will probably be easier and discreet 32mm Push Button Release Latch Pair – Car Builder Solutions

Hey all, Me and the wife are hitting midlife crisis and looking at picking up something a bit more fun alongside our EV6 GT. As quick as it is, it's just not the same you know? lol Currently looking at a 350Z or 370Z, but unsure which makes more sense in 2026. Are these still worth it today, or is there something else in a similar price range I should be considering? Any ownership experiences appreciated 👍

Are they needed?

Hi, Took my skirts off and noticed the dreaded rust underneath them. Can anyone give me a bit of a step by step for removing this rust. My current plan is to cut all the rust out, use hydrate-80 rust converter on any left over surface rust in the sill then weld the new panel in and use Dynax S50 as a cavity wax inside the sill. The main question I have is with this current approach the new steel i will be welding in will be bare metal inside the sill so surely this will just form rust again? I have heard of people using zinc rich weld through primers to protect the inside before welding but from what i am reading most people avoid using these as they make the welds really bad. Am I missing something?

How about Kemble air field,just a suggestion?

Hi everyone, After narrowly missing out on a local car, I’m looking for a clean, enthusiast-owned 350Z HR. I’m a serious buyer with funds ready to go for the right example. My Preferences: Spec: Must be a GT Pack Engine: Strictly HR Colour: Top priority is San Marino Blue (SMB). Would consider other colours for an exceptional car, but SMB is the dream. Mileage: Ideally under 60k miles, but I value maintenance history over a number on the clock. Condition: Looking for a well-cared-for car. I’m okay with subtle OEM+ mods (exhaust, intake, etc.), but nothing "clapped out" or heavily tracked. I’m based in North West London, but more than happy to travel across the UK for the right car. If you’re thinking of selling or know of one coming up, please drop me a DM or comment below Thanks, Gabriel

Thanks. I’m thinking of selling the car so trying to not put too much money into it but if I need to go down the new route will consider giving you a shout.

Hi, We should have plenty of Mishimoto and Koyo in stock if you need new.

When you've got a plan I'll post it on the SW Zeds facebook group, there are a few in Wiltshire/Yeovil way on there

Hello, Car passed it mot on Friday with no advisory’s but the test centre noticed that the radiator is starting to leak. I did have to top the expansion tank up the other day so must have just started. I am after a replacement radiator if anyone has one. Don’t mind it being an original as long as it is in good condition.

I'd be up for this, depending on day and time. I'm just north of Taunton.

Good idea about Facebook, I’ll give that a try and see if it brings a few more people in when I have more details I’ve done a bit of digging, and it looks like the Salisbury area might be a good middle ground for most of the people I know so far. There seem to be a few decent places around there. I’m thinking it will probably be an evening meet, just because people are working during the day, so that might suit most people better. Probably just something simple like a pub or cafe meet to start with. Still open to any ideas though, so feel free to suggest anything.

Zociety is a US brand selling parts and clothing for all zeds. I'm guessing they have expanded into Europe/UK I noticed they have arranged club stands at a lot of shows this year and posted it a month or so ago in another thread I have no connection with zociety in any way, but people are often commenting about not having club stands anywhere! I bought a ticket for JD Coombe, and probably going to buy for Japfest Classic

No need to be jealous. Its taken years to build and I used to go up to Birmingham (100 miles) for their Wales and Peak District driveouts from London. Simply because I know people would turn up no matter the weather. Then you get local joiners depending on destination. Theyve also come down to Oxford at the barn halfway that was Cool. I sold my Z 3 years ago. Otherwise I would plus im away for a month in Asia. Im sure if you used Facebook as well can get a few more people. Good Luck.

Hi all, I have to admit, I got a little bit jealous of Midlandz! With some encouragement from Keith D and ShorPaul, I thought I’d test the waters for a southern Z meet. I’ve never organised anything like this before (unless you count a birthday party for my wife), so please bear with me Based on where people seem to be located, somewhere between Southampton and Taunton might be a good starting point. That said, it really depends on how far everyone is willing to travel, so I’m open to suggestions. I’m expecting numbers to be fairly low, maybe around 10 cars at most, but who knows! If it turns out to be more, I may need to look into things like public liability insurance. For a smaller group around 5–10 cars, I imagine a simple meet-up in a café or pub car park should be fine? I’m open to any ideas or feedback, so feel free to share your thoughts!

Oh... I may be down for that as well then! For the south meet... I will see what I can do. let me create a new post for this.

I'm still trying to summon up courage to cut holes in my carbon bonnet for secondary latches.... 🤣

Took this at Refuel Cullompton on Friday night. Next Sunday theme is JDM v German if anyone in the S/SW is interested in a meet.

Castle Coombe is a club stand, hosted by Zociety

I'm near Taunton, SW. As long as it's not unreasonable drive I'm up for any south / south west meets.
