HEADPHONES

Got a birthday coming up so I'll put that on a wish list

Congratulations on your incoming chariot. I'm an owner of a much older 05 zed so not so knowledgeable on your questions. I'm sure others will be along with more help. Welcome to the OC anyway Loads of good info here. Sometimes I find it easier to use Google to search info on the OC rather than using the dedicated search function. Eg type 350z-uk.com gallery gaskets It'll throw up lots of threads.... https://www.google.com/search?q=350z-uk+gallery+gaskets&oq=350z-uk+gallery+gaskets&aqs=chrome..69i57.13603j0j7&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

You guys will have to give me an insight with regards to the good the bad and the ugly of car shampoo. I've only ever used Turtlewax and Autoglym shampoo decades ago before switching to Simoniz wash n wax when I discovered Costco about 10-15 years ago. Maybe the £6 for 5 litres is just to hard for me to resist

@msitpro Looks as delicious as an original glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut

Welcome to the OC Looking mean in black

Amazing how well kept this is.

Maybe not. But. I've heard that if you drink it you'll be on the toilet with your rear trumpeting away with the glorious sound of a VQ engine though

This is one of the most flattering pics I've seen of that blue.......hats off to you and your Zed

@Whitevanman and @Humpy You guys have found some top backdrops to show off your Zs. Makes all the difference. You lot will have to make do with my garden hedge..... AGAIN Washed and rinsed down with Turtlewax Dry and Shine

To be honest the lips haven't done badly considering they've seen daily use for 14 years! When I got them everyone said I should change them for winter wheels every year as the lips wouldn't last. No regrets from me for 14 years daily enjoyment out of them.

The centers are still A1 so before I go the refurb route I've ordered some paint stripper. Going to spray a little on a brush and test it on a small section of the lip. The clearcaot looks incredibly thin so hopefully not too difficult for the stripper to aid removal. When whiteworm hit the diamond cut faces of my Kia's alloys, the lacquer came off in sheets bas thick as a screen protector! Will post up pics of my progress. Nothing to lose if I can't maintain the finish with regular cleaning and polishing by hand.

Gorgeous photos of what looked like a glorious day out

My rims have diamond cut lips and centres. On one of the rims, as the years have passed, the rim has lost it's mirror finish and started looking cloudy. I imported these new in 2007 and have used them daily. No removal to fit winter wheels just enjoy them all year round. Since day 1 they have been cleaned weekly with just shampoo and no harsh chemicals. For the first few years they were treated to Chemical Guys Wheel Gaurd monthly. Then around 2012 I started doing a yearly decon and Gtechniq C5 coating. Today I gave the cloudy area a scrape with my fingernail and very fine dusty flecks come away revealing a perfectly untarnished machined finish below. The cloudy layer is still steadfast in certain areas so scraping with my nail to do the whole lip in one sitting is highly unlikely. Do you think this could be layer upon layer of old C5 or just the 14yr old lacquer giving up the ghost. Strange thing is the other 3 rims look fine.

Thanks ever so much. Been doing alot of reminiscing recently. Was a great day with glorious sunshine and the first time I watched a drifting event. That green looked so gorgeous in the sun that day (as did all the zeds), definitely stood out and was an attention grabber. Recognise a few other member cars. Mike's lovely Azure with those deep lipped rims. Clarkie34. Shire350z wearing lovely LMGT4s but to name a few

https://www.350z-uk.com/search/?&q=Jdm allstars 2010 Manchester&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy I can open the first thread with 2 posts bit not the ones with over 100 posts which o was hoping had some pics. Cheers

Anyone still around for the old days got any pics of our 350z stand from this event? Tried search but it's saying I don't have permission to view the threads of this event.

I watched this on my projector last night. It's the closest I've been to spending a day Traveling to Enjoying ....and leaving An amazing car event. Very well filmed I thought and the audio mix through the surround sound was very immersive also After a year of lockdown it definitely cheered me up a bit

00.08MPG Never fails to bring a to my face

Had to spend over £15 for free p&p so just ordered 2 X Dry and Shine and 1 bottle of Sealant Hydrophobic Wax

Wow.......... that's probably the lowest price I've seen the Sealant Hydrophobic Wax sell for INCLUDING DELIVERY too This shows how slick the paint is with the Sealant Hydrophobic Wax......

I went a bit crazy around 20yrs ago. I had a 1.3 Nissan Sunny with 3/4 of the boot taken up with a bixed 15" sub. Just 2 amps. One running some components up front, no rear speakers. One bridged running the sub. Played it WAY too loud and got tinnitus!!!! I was so devastated I put the sub up for FREE COLLECTION. Thankfully, 6 months of no sub and the tinnitus went Didn't learn......put a 12" sub in my next car. Guess what, couldn't resist and started going too loud again. That's why Ive stuck with the OEM 350Z puny Bose

That is some awesome work there. With the abuse my puny Bose 10incher has taken over 16 years I'm surprised it's not died yet. If it does I'd gladly pay for something like that from a pro. Looks so neat and no compromise on boot space.

The cars look and sound soooo good under the midnight city neon glow. Especially the FDs

Welcome to the OC Happy hunting.
