    Was good back then. Then the fun police turned up and theyre now fining people apparently. Oh well 🤣.

     

    Wow, Not bad at all eh?

     

    I would be happy for us to resurrect this with something convenient with those interested. 

     

    I have a few zeds in my group that would attend.

  2. As above. 

     

    Fitted new belts last year without any subsequent problems, but about a month ago i noticed the AC belt missing, installed a new one and it snapped within a few days. Did the same again this weekend.

     

    I have this rubber deposit where the belt seems to be rubbing against the bracket that holds the tensioner pulley, But when inspecting the belt it does not seem to be touching at all? I inspected the tensioner pulley at is seems ok, but i will replace it if that's what causes the problem?

     

    They are installed and tensioned correctly. Any ideas what would cause this?

  3. New steering wheel! Well custom retrim anyway :teeth:

     

    Been wanting a new steering wheel for ages. After looking around decided to go with good ol trusty Royalsteeringwheels. Didnt want to lose the airbag so was the best option for me.

     

    I had mine done in:

    Premium leather top and Bottom

    Alcantara grips

    Orange stitching to go with my seats

    Contoured grips

    Flat bottom

    I love it. Looks perfect imho, just what i envisioned. It feels so premium and sporty in the hand. Very comfortable and seems to be finished to a high standard.

     

    More to come v soon

    I have recently been looking for an amuse spoiler for my Nissan 370z and I have stumbled across grams styling which sells them for a lot cheaper than other websites I have seen. Has anyone bought any bodykit parts from this company and if so are they good quality and have good fitment? and if not is there any other places to buy one in the UK.

    Ive purchased a spoiler from Grams Styling and the service was excellent.  They let me come down and fit it up to the car, gave me advise and plenty of time to think.

    The finish was OK, but not the best, so needed a little work.  However it was much cheaper than alternatives so not unexpected. It wasn't too bad, just a bit wavy so needed filling and levelling out. 

     

    Its a cosmetic part so 'quality' is gonna be down to how well the bodyshop finish and fit the spoiler. If it was a bumper or similar i would be more concerned as they can be too far out to make fit right. 

     

    With aftermarket styling parts paying more doesn't guarantee better fit/finish, ive found that some 'branded' parts have pretty average fitment considering the premium. So unfortunately it can be a bit of trial and error

     

    Hope this helps

  5. So, i have a leak on the rear of the passenger side valve cover. I know what to do, but I'm just wondering what options people who have done it go with? (vq35DE)

     

    Ebay valve covers for around £55-£60

     

    Set from somewhere like Tarmac for £250

     

    I think Zman does a set iirc?

     

    Not going oem as they are overpriced imho

     

    Any other options?

    that's neat i love these little diy jobs, any links to the parts i have aftermarket switchbacks fitted but one has packed in so may look at this option

     

    I dont sorry. I bought the clear reflectors but they dont seem to have them. The LED strip is taken from some Amazon switchbacks that were the right size
