Been slacking a bit with the updates but it's been full steam ahead on the car. Pretty much finished the repairs underneath, just cleaning off the old crust and painting left really. There was a thick coating of "metal" over everything, I assume it's been treated with converter in the past leaving this thick crusty nasty stuff. I literally had to chip it off with a chisel to get something to weld to. Loads of chassis repairs from the kidney brace mounts back to the subframe mounts. Many times I contemplated giving up but she's coming together now. Not the tidyest of jobs but she's solid now.

Hi All, refurbing my rear Brembo's due to a sticky piston, I've got all new genuine Brembo seals and everything looks in good condition apart from one piston I want to replace due to pitting, but I'm to struggling to find a genuine piston in this size which I measure at 40mm x 29mm height? Does anyone know where I could get one? or as there seems to be quite a few aftermarket ones, recommend a good quality one Many Thanks Ryan

Owner moved to Bali about 5-6 years ago. It's just a body shop now.

Looks nice.... except it will have a heavy battery, weight 2+ tonnes, be built from tacky plastic and monkey metal, and corner like an oil tanker

Brilliant! Thank you guys. I’ve not bought a Z specific grounding kit just a cheap HKS kit to have a go at and see if the hesitation at low revs issue sorts itself

Looking for charge speed style rear bumper. Reached out to RT and no response. Any suggestions?

Found these parts in a box again yesterday, I'd forgotten about them! Still for sale and open to offers

SOLD

£51,000 for a possible ST Leather seats (Sport Touring) or Touring...New they are £34- £37,000 in Japan. Didnt state what version it was. Youre basically paying GTR money for a standard 370Z Turbo as an Early UK buyer! 🤣. Basically without a middle man 33k gets you the cheapest could be a 25 plate base car cleared. But 37-45k gets you an ST with suede leather seats, wheels, painted calipers and 60-65k gets you a Nismo. 70k in a container with a middle man.... 😆. Maybe youd be able to get rid of the Nismo for 65k because of rarity via auction but still... Now if you think about it if that Chris dude paid 46k for near new and it was an ST plus used a company thats actually good...He wouldn't have saved much maybe 2k or so assuming the car was 36k in Japan. If you're gonna buy one. Learn your trims dont get ripped off 😆 Base, S, T, ST, Nismo and Customized on non Nismo trims.

Need the valve stem oil seals replacing on my 2004 350 GT. Can anyone recommend a reasonable priced garage in the NE area or a recommend a good technician who’s looking for spare time work. Fingers crossed🤞

There is no such thing as 400Z, it's just Z. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2022-nissan-z

A 400Z sold in UK tonight at auction for £43K + fees

Yep https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y45ed494do.amp

It was a 350 I was referring to not a 370 although I think I have seen your 370 about. Are you local?

For 4.5 hours 9 to 1:30 with stops. They have a good choice of cars. Although many "suspended" probably under maintenance. Good thing about the area can either get a bus and bullet train back to Tokyo. There are other companies that offer rentals without the tour if you wish to explore yourself. Or proceed to Nagoya (Toyota Museums and Factories) then Osaka...48 mins by train apparently.

Good question! Not really sure. To be honest. I need to sort a few small things like getting the number plates mounted properly. Getting the coilovers sitting at the right height and adjusted. I also have to replace some seized camber bolts on the rear spring buckets. To make the alignment spot on. I'd love to get the front bumper filled and smoothed. And the front left arch is showing some rust. So that's probably in the long list. I'd also love to get some reclining bucket seats Installed. The drivers seat is a bit worn and I'm not a massive fan of the seats it came with. Mine is non gt spec. So I don't have power or heated seats. So I've less to loose fitting aftermarket. I'm sure il think of more things also. The list is never done.

They're standard (looking) seats that have been retrimmed, along with the door cards, centre cubby and gear stick gaitor, to match the replaced roof. Gear knob's been changed and the standard Rays have been painted too.

Dunno if you saw this: Lot 712 - 2005 NISSAN 350Z

Brilliant work, she must drive so much better now with fresh shocks and springs all round, arb with poly bushes and rear arms. What's next?

Hi lovely day again nice to see everyone, sorry you could not make it Andy but thanks for organising.
