SHEZZA

Welcome along. Max protect. Had mine detailed there three years ago and one of there nano coatings applied. Zed gets loads of positive comments. https://max-protect.co.uk/

Welcome along. Get yourself down on this list and fill a missing space

Very nice mate looks spot on and can I see a cheeky exhaust upgrade too.

Welcome Along. Great colour, saw one at JDM show at castle coombe and it really pops in the sun. Was also about to say loose the GH boot badge but Alex beat me to it !

That space has seen plenty of doughnuts !

Bet the neighbors think your nuts. Mine do, as I can often be seen out in the dark or rain washing the zed or the daily. Both being black it’s been a nightmare this year as I’ve no where to get the cars out of the sun. Even on a cloudy day, as soon as I’ve rinsed the car off the sun always seems to come out !

Great vid as per usual mate.

@valy- spotted towards the end

Mine was definitely more than surface rust as I could break chunks of it whilst it was on the car. So much so that the holes at the bottom were gone in some places. Also the areas you can’t see when on the car like the top and behind the plastic trays was in a bad state, I was surprised how bad it was, as how it’s designed it holds moisture! A little knock I guess wouldn’t hurt though I’d say if yours has surface rust it wants coating anyway, so you could remove to do that, then check it all over.

Next up was to replace the corroded OEM W brace. I got the car jacked up and on axle stands and removed it. Then gave it the @buster test I decided to replace it with an ultra racing one, I know not OEM but a mod ! Still hidden though ! haha. Whilst I was waiting for it to be delivered and I could get at the parts you can’t usually reach with one fitted. I removed any surface rust, treated with bilt hamber hydrate 80 then gave it all a good coating of bilt hamber dynax UB. Then the day arrived and the w brace was delivered I set to and got it fitted to the zed. All in all a lot of improvements made to the zed this year, none of which are noticeable of course but I feel a lot happier knowing that there done.

After that it was time for show season. Starting off with japfest at Silverstone and jdm at castle Coombe. Then the annual club meet at the British motor museum where the zed won yet another trophy 2nd year running , this time 1st place for best srandard 350Z ! Standard I here you say ! Well it kinda of is really being all external parts fitted are factory fitted optional extras or genuine facelift OEM upgrades. until the bonnets open that is, though that was closed on the day.

It’s something I’m considering mate and may have a go at over the winter if I get the zeditus itch and Santa is kind ! though I’m a kinda if it ain’t broke don’t fix it guy ! and I would rather go the coil over route, but funds won’t allow for that ! As for the ceramic coating it’s something I would have done again and will need doing again at some point. Again funds allowing.

Cheers davey, not cheap at all , but she’s worth it. Once home I fitted the new reversing sensor system,connecting the new sensors. Rebuilt the boot, refitted the rear lights and wheel Also prior going to the body shop I’d fitted the new zero number plates I’d purchased from fourdot number plates as the previous ones was looking a little tired. More to follow !

About time for a little update ! As show season was fast approaching it was time to tackle a few jobs. First up was the issue of rust ! even my zed had developed the dreaded rear arch rash, a problem which is coming more common on the older zeds now. Though only on the drivers side on mine. Id got myself a body shop lined up and had been on the waiting list for about a year When I got the call that it was all systems go ! The body shop being only a stones throw away from my house I stripped out the boot, took the rear lights out. Then removed the drivers side rear wheel fitting the space saver and drove the short distance to the body shop, where they got the zed up on the ramp. I then left it there for Drew and his dad to do there magic, keeping me updated along the way. I supplied Drew with a rust free arch cut which I’d purchased from an old forum trader the previous year to make it easier due to its position. Also new bumber bracket was purchased to refit the rear bumper as that had corroded. Then whilst the rear bumper was off I also had drew spray and install some new reversing sensors with new wiring loom fitted ready for myself to connect up once Id got the zed home, as the old ones had stopped working sometime ago and I’d disconnected them to stop the constant beep when in reverse. When Drew had finished, his dad then very kindly made injection holes and sprayed dinitrol in both rear qauters to help to stop any further corrosion,free of charge.

These should fit the HR 350Z’s too if you want to broaden your horizons. GLWTS

Great day again. A big thank you to Ian once again for organising. Great to catch up with everyone, though I’m gutted that this seems to be the last show of the year for me. It’s a long time till May !

Welcome along from another x mr2 owner Though it was 21 years ago now when I had mine.

I’m also in for the convoy ! Just need @Andy_Muxlow now with his tunes.

That’s a shame mate was looking forward to a catch up.

You could also try @Ewen@Clark Motorsport He has these shown on his website.

Sorry Andy I won’t be able to make this one now unfortunately. I’ve removed myself from the list 1. andy James +1 - Paid Track time 12.20/13.40 2. Humpy - Paid 3. Nso93 4. ShortPaul 5. Andy_Muxlow - Paid 6. Chippychip123 +1 - Paid 7. Jay84 8. Coopen87 - Paid 9. 10. 14N 11. reeceybeaney +1

For this ^ reason I think Tein Springs are the way to go as they give you a drop of 17mm front 14 mm rear.

Not had mine yet mate.

Not a bad idea Steve, though Being it’s the big 50 I think we need to show off the zeds to all and not just us zed heads. A lap of silverstone with all the zeds would be epic ! imo
