It's not even half nice as the colour is in real life, pictures don't do justice to the matte vinyl colours!

MATTE RED FOR THE WIN!!!

Interesting, will have a look at the fans again today. Will let the car run for 15-30min see what happens. Thanks

Yes, not the first time stuck in traffic like that. Both fans working ok. Could have been an airlock somewhere, I've changed the hoses and coolant reservoir recently...

Strange one tonight, stuck in traffic on A406 near Neasden in London for few good minutes and as I was moving sloooooooooooowly heard some funny noise, similar to a helicopter noise really far in the sky. Lowered the window and no sign of a helicopter, put the windows up again and noise came back. All happening in less than a minute. Then I checked the dashboard and the water gauge was on red, stopped immediately just off A406 and opened the bonnet. The coolant in the reservoir was boiling really hard and as soon as I stopped the coolant was coming off the overflow, must have been at least 500ml-1litre spilled in the road. Being afraid that it could be the head-gasket from overheating I called RAC, didn't want to start the car again. An hour later, the guy came, add some water into the radiator directly and checked all hoses, all dry, no leaks. Started the engine, the engine held its pressure, radiators kicked in in few minutes, water level bellow half way on the temperature gauge, engine absolutely fine! Drove home for another 15 miles with no problem at all, oil level fine, coolant fine, no overheating. The RAC guy said it could be a malfunctioning thermostat and that I should have it checked tomorrow, adding that it was very very odd. What do you think it might have been?

Just outside my house, it was grid lock yesterday, took me 4 hours from Heathrow Terminal 3 to home in Bushey, tried Rickmansworth, tried Leavesden, Garston, etc, virtually impossible to get home for a good few hours! Anyway, extremely sad...

Happy birthday, SlimG!

I think he should be banned if he doesn't show up to this one!

There is no visible edges on the door shuts, they look like they've been sprayed to match, perfectly wrapped! Will take some photos tomorrow and post them here for you.

It's a matter of personal taste, otherwise all cars will be same colour, same bodykits, etc etc..

Not sure I understand your question, but this picture should help:

I can tell you the car DOES NOT look in flesh like what you see here, I've tried all possible options on the camera, from manual white balance, adjusting Kelvins, custom white balance, calibrating with 18% grey card, etc. It is extremely hard to reproduce that colour!

OK, Blitz spoiler sprayed and wrapped in turquoise, car is filthy but can't wash it until Monday

Must get used to everyone getting shots of my car, I'm in central London this evening, people stopping to take photos with the car :lol:

Go for the matte red, trust me!

I'll be uploading stuff here when I start doing it: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63519-building-in-car-tablet-android

After hard negotiation that took about 3 weeks I've managed to get it down to $250, from $600 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180998397975

No, photos don't do justice, believe me, in real life the car looks about 1.6 billion times better! It's a very tricky colour to capture in photos and it changes constantly, depending on the sun, clouds, day, night, different lights, etc. To me I feel like I just got another car, is not boring anymore!

Needs a proper wash sometime towards the end of next week, in the meantime need to sort out the tracking, the new Nismo dashboard, the Blitz rear spoiler, the Nexus 7 tablet and so on Thanks Neil!

And the end result is:
