Some updates due to this thread! We've been working with the factory for our next generation of TORQEN Big Brake Kits and will soon launch these. For now just a sneak preview on the new caliper hollow design and the titanium center bell hats and fittings.

Thought about it but I wanted plenty of room for a boot to hide the horrible plastic gate.

Trim the stalk a bit, check my thread.

Nice to know that there’s other members in the area as they seem few and far between. Do you use any local garages for services etc? It would be good to know of someone who knows their way around a Z.

Gawd, I'm away on holiday. 🙄 I attended in July last year and it was well worth the drive up from Surrey - maybe next year then!

What a great location for a meeting.

Ah got it Thanks chaps 👍

Hi guys, I've recently brought a 2004 FairladyZ. Looks like it was imported in 2009 to the UK. Its MoT is coming up and I can't for the life of me figure out where the fog lamp is on this car, there's a switch near the fuel cap button on the right hand side but it does nothing. The car does have the upgraded 2008 LEDs on it if that helps with anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

The email subject for the message containing your QR code should be something like: "JDM Combe Action Day 2025 Club Display Admission E-Ticket - [#XXXXXX]"

The QR code is attached to your entry ticket you bought earlier in the year.

Sorry I'm being dim. The email says "you should have received on a seperate email a QR code..." I haven't had a seperate email, and I can't see any QR code on either of the attached pdfs.

Bump, someone must want this to get their tunes sorted before summer is here 😝

Looking at the club stands and where we are I'd say we've got one of the best spots we've ever had. Very excited now let's just hope the weather holds up

(Following directly on from my last post) So there was nothing for it, we decided on a full shell respray to get it perfect: While we were at it we deleted the aerial It came out looking great but we wasn't quite finished yet A couple weeks later we spent a full day cutting and polishing the new paint, and I mean a FULL day. Exhausting Finally ready to leave And the finished product The only thing that wasn't painted is the bonnet as I have plans for that. Overall I'm extremely pleased. We removed all the dents and imperfections and it's basically flawless now. And one colour. Anyone who knows me, knows I take care of the paint as best I can, now I have a clean canvas to work with. Big thanks to Sussex Studio!

The difference was i found myself sitting higher in the GT to the Nismo a bit different. But the seats were like you say electric and comfortable. Sounds like a plan. Also you could even trim it alcantara and leave the front bit of the seat base red leather if the centers going to be black alcantara Similar colour scheme to some of the new Z interiors with red and black.

It's crazy in this country how we have all normalised being ripped off with obscene levels of taxation.

I've thought about throwing in a pair of aftermarket reclining buckets, but I like the standard seat, it has no clearance problem with tilting back, head rest isn't designed for use with a helmet not a head, has elec adjustment and heater. I'm not tracking the car, and it's a while since I got in 38 jeans 🤣 Like your idea of red bolsters black alacantra centre panel retrim and matching retrimmed kneepads. Can retrim door cards at the same time. You hit the nail on the head yes I'm trying to tie it all into the wheel.

Seats red side bolsters and black alcantara. Or recaro nismo style seats red alcantara black bolsters. Then Nismo alcantara kneepads hard to find or retrim current kneepads red alcantara. Can get the alcantara and retrim the kneepads. So you get red bits but not all red everywhere. Contrasted like the steering wheel

Thats what it would cost you in Japan....Lol. but with these customs discounts and time never know what theyll be worth in 12-18 months. Production is flowing now. Many sitting for sale.

Price £10,925

It looks good to me, but as you say trying to look like a manual. But it looks good to me.
