  1. Hi All - well I've had the car for some time now, posted a few times on the site, bought some bits & bobs (not fitted yet!) so thought it was onyl fair to get some pics up!

     

    Think this is the right section but apologies if not (didn't want to resurrect my ancient "hello" post in welcome).

     

    So here's Kenzo - my 350Z GT 2006 with factory Nismo kit

    For the fine-tuned eyes among us you'll notice a Scorpion cat-back exhaust on the rear - this was already on there prior to the purchase. Now I've got a new stereo, plenum, tonnes of carbon film to go on and a load of ideas - just need the time and weather!

     

    Hopefully it'll be going through a colour change real soon (vinyl wrap) - especially having come from a Jaffa Focus ST (320bhp!)

     

    Enjoy anyway!

    What I used to do with the Subaru (previous car) meets was to meet at a venue where we could park up, grab a quick bite to eat/coffee and talk cars. Then perhaps head off for a spin somewhere thereafter. That way those that need to make a move can split early and others with a bit more time can add some miles to their zeds :thumbs:

     

    Hi notfub

     

    That's exactly what I was thinking! Fear not - tis what I used to do with the FFOC so sounds like a plan.

     

    Thinking about it maybe I was bring a bit adventurous for the first meet for a Brecon trip or similar? Maybe we should just try the meet bit first!

     

    So how about we all meet up at say j33 services at 3ish on Sunday 2nd oct - can have a chat, see the cars get a tea/some food and go from there - there's plenty of places nearby for a bit of a photoshoot or food :)

  3. Hi All

     

    Having now had permission from Ian to organise a mini meet I thought I'd get the wheels in motion and see if we can get our heads together and organise something!

     

    I was thinking of arranging a mini meet one Sunday afternoon (end of September?) where we all meet up and then can go for a leisurely drive through the Beacons or similar? Maybe we could even stop off for a bite to eat if people were interested?

     

    I'll need to look into the route but have used some before for another car club I help with.

     

    But was just wondering what the interest would be like? I was pencilling in 25th September or 2nd Oct premlinary

  4. Hi All

     

    I fancy having a go at di-noc 'ing my door leccy bits as they look tatty as ever! If it works then I'll do a few more bits (like b-pillars, struct brace cover, etc.).

     

    However having not done it before I was wondering if anyone else had and would share some knowledge on the topic. Fear not I'll never (nor want to) go into mass market so if any of the pros want to help I'd be grateful :D

     

    Couple of queries - do I need to really stretch the di-noc over the bits? do I really need to heat gun if I've got enough vinyl?

     

    Finally with the door bits being a bit "rubbery" do I need to sand these down first or can I apply the vinyl straight to these after giving a good clean with alcohol wipes or similar?

     

    Sorry there is so many questions!

  5. Hi All

     

    Purchased some DLR side markets for my uprev model and just wondering if anyone could give me any help/guidance on wiring them up to the ignition "on".

     

    I.e. I only want them to come on when I start the car (I'm actually also going to put a switch in the circuit to knock them off when required).

     

    How or where can I access the ignition live in the engine bay (as I don't really want to have to the one off the stereo).

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Craig
