This is the last part up for sale. I know it's odd on its own but maybe of use to someone who has this part missing.

Willing to accept reasonable offers.

Sold

Curse my HR heart. I want this but for the post-facelift. £850 seems a good deal for what you have on offer.

Considering how exclusive this is and knowing that it's all genuine parts which fits together. £850 is a very good price for such a comprehensive package.

Better pictures and FS thread here:

Have a look at our old 370Z which is being owned by Octet.

Gear your self up with evidence and pop into Nissan and ask.

If all else fails, give us a ring if you want the paint work sorting.

Though stone chips on the roof is very unlikely, we've resprayed quite a few zed roofs which has rusted so I'd say its quite common.

yes

Take the originals off. Stick it on then put back together. very easy.

PM'ed Fred.

I dont believe you need to remove the boot lining. I think the bolt heads are exposed on the top side at the hinge.

Otherwise if you need to pop off the lining you dont need to undo the sides. You should be able to pull it down enough to get your hand in.

its a 2 maybe 3 man job. 2 people to hole on each sides and 1 to go round unbolting it.

The boot lid is quite heavy and its easy to let it slip and cause damage to the roof of your zed so don't do it alone.

You can access the bolts in the hinge whilst the boot lid it open.

Remove all the plastics around the boot lid and unplug the jet wash hose at the top and the main wiring loom in the corner.

Also the boot struts just un clip with a screw driver at the ball joint.

If you need to transplant anything over, it's as easy as copying and paste with a 10mm ratchet.

hinges, loom, wiper arm + motor, lock mech etc...

HTH

hahaha. Quality. Looks like you lot had a fun time. Lots of man love going on there in the pit.

What am I a miracle worker?

The process varies depending on its conditions.

Sometimes I use injection and pressure to re-inject some resin in some difficult places. Sanding down and lacquer only works on some surface damage. The danger of sanding back is that you have a high chance of damaging the actual fibres.

The pic above was an example of peeling back the layers to a clean edge using a surgical knife before applying a new clear coat.

Not many people know that we have a lot of experience with carbon and that we can restore most surface damage or at least reduce its appearance.

Even though he's soon to part with his 350z, we had this in the pipe line which just arrived.

Im sure Octet is going to put this back up for sale very soon so there will be better pictures later on.

lol. I guess something like building trade is more difficult to regulate because you work all over the place and a lot of it is cash in hand work.

Funny enough I have heard of TFOMB in the past.

nope. Im currently focusing on recovering my loss on these.

So how do you become a member, then? Do they come and check your premises, paperwork and past works, or is it just a pay-some-money-and-agree-to-the-code-of-conduct kinda thing?

 

Congrats either way btw, I'm just genuinely curious

A bit of both.

Yes you have to pay to become a member but only after a series of interviews and inspections because you have to pass a series of practice codes which they set out for you to meet.

In the past when we looked into gettjng our selves as insurance approved, we found that the there was no such standard. As long as you can work quick, produce satisfactory results and willing to bend financially in favour of the insurance companies cheaply, you will be insurance approved.

Dealership approved is much more difficult. You need to be part of an automotive board such as the VBRA even before you can approach a dealer for work.

Just a bit Peter. Sounds better too with a nice V8 under the hood.

Very nice Truck

 

But not actually that big compared to some on this side of the pond

Yeah I know. There are some double cabs with double wheel base too but id very much doubt you can use it as an every day car here in the uk.

Thanks guys. We couldnt had done it without the support of the club members.
