Hi @Sim

 

Not planning anything major on it yet... Just had it converted to run on LPG, which cost £1695, so watching the pennies for a couple of months.

 

That said, just bought a popcharger from Blocko, which will be installed soon-ish.

 

After that, probably in the new year, I’ll tint the rear lights, make a new fog light for it (can’t easily just buy one as the rear bumper slopes at such an angle), and then it’ll be wheels and tyres (might go for the steel modulars that the off-road lads use for a different look).

 

I also might have the grey body mouldings removed and sprayed gloss black to match the wheels.

 

For the moment though, just enjoying it!!!

 

Cheers!

Lol, it's funny how the list starts even when nothing is planned

I put this on the event page on FB as well.

No one should have got parking tickets, as a group there was permission for the meet and a list of registration numbers was handed in to MacDonalds.

So if anyone else does get a ticket, write back explaining this and they should cancel the ticket.

I believe Mark Griffin was the organiser.

Lol, I have one but I keep it in the boot, in the net, it annoyed the hell out of me when it was in the passenger foot well or under the seat, or moving in that general area.

Ive come across one guy whos had 4 zeds including the Mk2 Nismo hes never been on the forum. Hes been on pistonheads though. I saw him shortly after i sold mine. Made me regret selling it. Spoke to him fro 10 minutes. I had seen him a week earlier and another time before

 

So fair enough not everyone has time for forums  and i reckon quite a few z owners never attend meets

Lol, My wife and I drove out to a Z meet at a pub in really bad weather one evening to arrive and find out that everyone else had cancelled.

Thankfully the food was good otherwise I'd have moaned about it much more

That said, I too like the look of your s12. 

Thanks, I do get it, as per my previous reply, just wanted to get an ad up, I'll keep that thread running, no idea how often I'll add though

Sim, you sound like a decent chap and I hope you take this the right way - I am not on the mod group anymore but to replay back the general consensus of the team and how the forum is run.

 

The 100 post limit is not a box ticking exercise. Its there to ensure that members that actively post, contribute to and support other members of this car enthusiasts group consistently are rightly rewarded with the capability to sell their car towards a highly targeted audience. Have a look at the posts in the Zed for Sale section and see people selling are not just over the 100 post limit, they are well past it at 300 posts and above, many people in to the thousands. The limit is set at 100 to stop people misusing this opportunity but also the team will be watching for spamming which is where a member effectively puts up dozens of posts in a short period of time to get towards 100 - they will knock post counts down if they feel you are just trawling the site in a short space of time to just get your count up which is probably what you are seeing with your post count going down. 

 

Hope this helps, focus on normal posting practices, put a few considered posts up each day on recent posts instead of just spamming old ones. If you reach 100 in a couple of weeks and car is still for sale, then bingo try selling again. 

 

I get it, I am active on lots of car groups, mainly Nissan related but more on FB and Whatsapp as I only use the forum on my computer.

We won't be disappearing anyway, my wife still has her Z and I'll still have my Z transplanted S12, and we'll still be doing rallies and car meets.

I'm in no mega rush to sell, just want it to go to someone who'll look after it.

My S12 build isn't even on the SXOC website and I'm a paid member there

That will be because you are spamming I am afraid. 

So do I need to move my potted history from the welcome section to somewhere else for it to count?

I say potted because it covered over 12 years of Z ownership.

If someone sticks one of these on your car/you stick one on someones car

 

 

Ok cool makes sense  I often end up talking to car and bike owners at random any way

Zeditis for sure .....the body kit on 370 looks good

Thanks, yes, just not spent much time on the forum, although I have done a few shows and rallies over the years, just not so many with350z/370z oc.

Just to clarify Sim posts in the welcome section do not count towards your post count no. Plenty of forums have rules around posting stuff for sale...I had a look on one the other day and couldn't even look at the for sale sub forum without first making a set of posts. Each forum has its own rules - it's a simple value exchange, the forum is free to use, people sign up here who potentially could be buying a car, the value exchange is that people actively participate towards the forum with posts over a period of time. If everyone sat lurking (I believe that is the phrase!) there would be no forum. Additionally these cars are generally a reasonable investment of cash for someone...being able to look at the history and good upkeep is a great benefit too.

Ok, so the welcome hello post with loads of info and pictures doesn't count?

I couldn't work out what was happening yesterday, I was looking at relevant threads rather than straight up spamming.

I did get it to 80 but that seems to have gone down by 20 over night?

Woken up to find loads of old threads having new posts added to them by a certain person trying to up their post count 

I did pick relevant threads to to actually post on, but I gave up today as about 20 got deleted over night and loads of pictures seem to not even count.

So I've had some issues with the car and tried talking with the dealer who sold it to me. Long story short he agreed to pay for the work needed over the phone but ended up going back on his word. 

 

Garage only has an autotrader profile so only place I can leave a review (no Google etc). 

 

Worth my time going to Trading Standards or not? Hasn't been a massive sum of money but its now all about the principle of selling a dodgy expensive car and backtracking on their word. 

 

Any advice is appreciated 

What are the issues? If they aren't keeping an agreed warranty or if it's something dangerous you will definitely have a case. 

Cool looking car, are you planning anything major on it?

Hello, Nismo MKii front is my favourite front of all the Zeds

Thanks for the comments, it should be fun

Hello, hopefully the good weather will hang about for a bit longer so you can get the roof down.

Looks great, my wife had a 350z roadster, it was great fun.

I get spotted but what does flyered mean?

Yup, I was just wondering that

Soft and ordinary is acceptable That is easy enough to change! 

 

Been out in a friends Cayman, they are rather good! 

 

 

I did see that, but I am want/need LHD

Cool, good luck finding what you want

I've got one of the first ZX10Rs, had it from new, lots of handling mods and bigger brakes but have just left the engine alone, 100mph in first is bonkers.

Best cheap mod was the Hyperpro spring kit and set-up, £300 and the best expensive mod was the BST wheels, which made a big difference as well.

I was going to add this into the memory lane thread but thought I'd give it a post of it's own.

So after a couple of years messing about with the S12 I bought this monstrosity and then spent two week and two MOT attempts getting it road legal

It was quick possibly the most dangerous car I ever drove on the road but it was blisteringly fast up to 140 and felt like it had no suspension.

It surprised a few cars in it's time as I think people just thought it was a body kit
