    Hood vents

    in 350Z Modifications

    Posted

    In my head if this will be mounted from bellow this upper part of louvers shouldn't stick to much out

     

    It could be an issue making a perfectly smooth whole to fit them in from underneath no? Wouldn't you need some form of "frame" to cover the inaccuracies of the cut?

     

    Well im still in plan development. Either way hood will need to be repainted after this so this inaccuracies could be arranged prior painting. Still looking the best way

    I'm sure a good body shop could do it fine, I wouldn't like to DIY fit underneath though.

    It would probably be about the same weight as a carbon bonnet and a lot cheaper as well.

    I'm a little devastated....

    You more than likely will find that their first offer is a cheeky low-ball one just to try their luck.

     

    I'm not really sure it's a cheeky low ball offer, I reckon most insurance companies go by glasses guide etc which always seem a little low compared to autotrader etc. Although I'm sure there are some insurance companies that take the glasses guide value and offer you half of it less whatever they want to spend in the pub at Friday lunch.

    Update from AAM:

     

    "We are still working on clearance solutions. It’s very finicky, as adjustment in either direction can cause interference with the wastegate against the block or the steering shaft against the turbine housing. We manufactured a steering knuckle spacer which helped a little, but did not completely resolve our concerns. Our engineering has a few more ideas that we can use to try and iron everything out. We will keep you posted!"

     

    Any further update?

    Redundancy question

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I've been at my current place for just over 5 years now (I'm 31 btw) and recently (around 8 months ago) I changed departments. The new role is extremely difficult because of the way the company is structured and there are several other reasons why I'm not happy there. With that in mind, I've been looking for a new job for the last little while.

    ...

     

    Sorry for the late response, I hope this isn't too late for you!

     

    There's obviously no point in asking if redundancy is the right option, it sounds like you made your decision ages ago from the above.

     

    First things first, speak to HR and your manager! Talking to your employer is usually the easiest way to get the best outcome. Make it clear that you haven't made a decision as yet but you would like as much information as possible to make that decision and find out what the redundancy package is, asking some questions about the new role first will help to show that you're not just trying to find out what they'll offer. If it's a good package then take it and run. A reasonable package seems to be 1 month for every complete year you've worked PLUS your notice period (although you're often expected to continue in the job if they pay your notice), however they do vary greatly and the minimum legal is a pitance!

     

    If the redundancy package isn't great you'll want to google the term "working under protest", it's basically when your job significantly changes you can notify your employer that you're continuing to work but that you don't agree with the changes and will likely be taking legal action along unfair dismissal lines. I'm not saying you should go down that route (the legal route is a pain), however understanding what it means is useful. For example, if they offer you a really bad redundancy package you can try and negotiate, e.g: "So my options are a) to take a role where the objectives seem impossible to achieve, B) accept a redundancy package which currently doesn't make it worth my while considering as I have a wife/family/home/350Z to support or c) work under protest while seeking external legal advice which I'm sure neither of us want to waste time/money on, is there anything that can be changed to improve a or b?". Bear in mind that they only legally have to pay you the mimimum statutory redundancy though so you want to be polite and don't want to push too far unless you've made the decision to go regardless.

    Wanted some 350z alloys to borrow

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Wondering if there is anyone in Scotland with a spare set of alloys they might be willing to let me borrow while I get mine refurbed? The car won't be getting used with them on its just so I can take mine away and stripped done for refurb.

     

    If the cars not going to be used can't you use axle stands? Otherwise Zmanalex might be able to help.
