  1. Yep! I've a used pair and a brand new pair, never fitted and have been professionally sprayed in gloss black...the gel coat was a little translucent.

    Wheel Spacers

    I've a couple of sets, what size are you after?
  3. No sorry For the 370 only Ah ok, now I don't feel so bad about missing out then;) OK, I know this is 'somewhat' late but.....yes they will fit the 350Z, easy install no issues.

    I'm using the Bosch Aero on my 370, no probs. If you've a Halfords trade card they work out about half price....
  5. I'm afraid I do, fortunately I only have to go into the office a few times a year... I've also seen a Ginger Roadster a few times. Today I'll be cycling back home though, not looking forward to the trip down the Acle straight though.
  6. Hi, got to say that the 350 still turns heads... Also, this is my first 'spotted' after all these years so big thanks to you.
  7. Thank you to the tidy looking Silver 350Z that let me turn into Hewett Rd and into the Gapton Hall Ind Est this morning

    10mm bolts

    10mm? Know wonder the Z is so heavy.... You mean M6?
  9. Bit of history for you http://zhome.com/History/FairladyName.html
  10. I'll be honest, I've only read a few of the posts and haven't even bothered with the youtube clip. Should she have been eating a bowl of cereal whilst driving? Legally? But hey, I don't know the law on this. What's the distinction between stuffing your face and texting at the wheel? My wife was a passenger in a stationary car when a young woman rear ended the car she was in. Police report cited the cause to be texting at approx 40mph. Some have said she was only traveling at 3mph ish...for all the journey? So that makes it OK? I'm currently working in Singapore where the law has very distinct boundaries and few 'grey' areas. Get caught using your phone, even at 'only 3mph', and it's 6 points from a maximum of 24 and your phone is taken off you there and then to end up in a landfill site! No ifs, no buts.
  11. I'd say that's pretty normal for the 370, especially when cold or on initial start up with the higher engine revs...it'll be labeled as 'character' if you go and see a Nissan dealership Nothing to worry about IMHO, at least you can rest assured it's going to me more reliable than a manual box And here we go.....
  12. As above, decent products with good performance. I regularly use the Tough Coat on my wheels with very good results
  13. I'm just about to pull the pin on the Meister R GT-1, having read ALL the reviews by all accounts a pretty decent bit of kit.
  14. And the bonnet of a 370Z is made from laminated Unicorn horn...it really is that much better
  15. Whilst in South Korea I watched their TG version, couldn't understand a single word but it was hilarious! They even attempted to get the 3 guys to look like and dress like Clarkson and co...that was funny enough on its own.
  16. Mmmm...gonna have to cry off. I'm working around Asia and Oz until mid August, but I'm more than willing to throw a BBQ at my place upon my return. Feel pretty safe with that as 'no one in Norfolk ever turns up for meets...' Seriously though the offer's there, I'm in Dereham so geographically speaking that's the pretty much the centre of the county, good access just off the A47
  17. Well there's some reasons why 'we' don't meet...change the venue!
  18. You really want to travel Gt Yarmouth on a BH weekend, along the Acle straight at an average speed of 12mph, to the biggest cul-de-sac in the UK?
  19. Jeeez, that's steep! Anyway, you've done good so far, lots of good advice cos that's what this forum does best so let us know when you've got the screw out
  20. For future ref; if you snap either an easy out or a tap then you'll require a Solid Carbide Screw (Tap) Drill, and a little bit of know-how...unless your real handy with Electrodischarging Machining, EDM However, as has been advised sooo mtimes already Torx-30 bit is the way to go, as long as you've 30 seconds to spare cos that's all it's gonna take!
  21. 23 years in the 'Aviation Industry' and close on 10 in a marine environment and I've never seen a damaged Ti-Alloy fastener. With an ultimate tensile strength in the region of 30,000 (cheap 'n nasty)-200,000psi (aerospace quality) I think you'll experience tool failure before the fastener gives out Tap a T30 Torx bit in nice and gentle, the T30 comes up at approx 5.4mm. With a tapered 'easy out' as per the link above you'll have to drill the screw head to to a greater depth, even then you'd be better off with a parallell easy out as opposed to the tapered version as it has a far greater surface contact area. Just go for it, you'll enjoy doing it yourself and you'll wonder what all the drama was about, make sure you purchase a new screw first
  22. For best results do the above whilst the components are hot, assuming the body is aluminium as this has a greater linear coefficient of expansion when compared to brass :thumbs:
  23. You could try a Torx Driver bit, a T30 should be good. Tap it in gently and square on, no probs
  24. I fitted the Ings splitter, the cars lowered on Ark Gt-F springs and to date I've not had any issues. I just wanted something different, I'm also considering the TS splitter. Again, something different...
