In case anyone was wondering what happened to my 350Z the answer is nothing I still have it it will be sold but I still have some poly bushed suspension arms and a clutch slave cylinder and hose that I never got around to fitting and I might get the wheels refurbished not sure about that yet and a few other little jobs so at present it's at work where I have more space 18" alloys good tyres all round BC Racing Coilovers with custom Air Ride setup some of the suspension is poly bushed I have them all just haven't fitted them true dual exhaust HKS copy standard cat's fitted but also have high flow set that would go with it high capacity ally sump Link G4+ plugin ECU also another engine was fitted at 68000 miles with 37000 miles on it car is now at 76000 miles so engine has about 45000 miles on it She'll be going up for sale within the month I'm in no hurry to part with her but if anyone locally is interested you can come take a look

too late I already have a new exhaust and W brace on the way from Tarmac Sports and as I will tell my wife "Honest my love it was a gift"

Hopefully not Christine like the 350z

Too late

The wife says it can't come in the house and has to sleep outside

So as I explained to my wife I just went out for a drive minding my own business and this little black number followed me home So I had to adopt it as it had nowhere else to go

Keyser has anyone told you that you're "special" really really "special" But I hope there is no cure for it cause it's awesome

So even though I intend to sell my Z this year while all of these restrictions are in place I have been doing all of the little jobs I should have done ages ago including refining and simplifying the the air ride control I had some power supply issues when the compressor was running and fitted an extra battery next to the control unit which solved this but have discovered that a couple of large capacitors work just as well it used to have a pot to adjust the ride height but i didn't like it so went over to a rocker switch also since I plan on selling I've relocated and refitted the factory amp which I removed because it was in the way of the tank I also plan to fit a led bar graph display to indicate height as I never found an appropriate location for the touchscreen display I've also rewritten the software to improve the height / pressure averaging to stop it making continuous adjustments I'll get some pictures up some time this week also I get a lot of people contacting me asking for help and information about some of my diy projects via PM instead of replying to posts usually they have no posts and no profile info in the past I have helped but it takes up my time so from here on if you're not contributing to this site then I can't spare you the time

engineered to the standard your renowned for i would say I'm on my second one of these they seem to block up/gum up easily as you say cheap but good for the money i have a dosing pump feeding coolant (water and a splash of antifreeze) to mine I either use just coolant, a mist or just lots of air depending on what I'm cutting

Just caught up with this good work love the bead roller quite envious to be honest I thought you also had a Tig welder i find it good for different thicknesses of metal

Definitely going to have to upgrade the engine that things gonna weigh a ton

So the age old problem what's it worth This is how it will be sold spec wise 18" alloys good tyres all round BC Racing Coilovers with custom Air Ride setup some of the suspension is poly bushed I have them all just haven't fitted them true dual exhaust HKS copy standard cat's fitted but also have high flow set that would go with it high capacity ally sump Link G4+ plugin ECU also another engine with 25000 miles was fitted at 68000 miles now at 76000 miles so engine has about 33000 miles on it Please note this is not an advert just trying to get an idea what I should put it up for when all this corona madness is over

good work as always Chris, did you make the last picture blurry just for me

From what I understand from your comments I am an ugly useless rhino some people are sensitive with feelings you know luckily that's not me, someone as sarcastic as myself has no right

Don't talk to me about rotator cuff injury's been struggling with mine for 9 Months all the physio was just starting to work when Covid 19 comes along

Chris I detect a small amount of sarcasm in some of your comments please note that this is my area of expertise (just ask the poor souls i work with) so please cease and desist just stick with what you are good at eating donuts and taking blurry pictures Excellent work by the way do love some of the solutions you come up with we should have done scrapheap challenge you could have done all the work and I could look good for the camera

Is it just me or is that a double entendre

I think he ate them all either that or another person

only just a yes had mine 8 years been lots of fun but it's going this year

yes I'll give you that truly awesome bit of kit selling because I don't have the time or the room to play with it so i'm selling to get a more practical car (z4 35i dct) until we move and I retire 6 yrs then I'll have the time and space for a toy again

Great work Chris I always love to see this level of fabrication sadly the only thing I've been doing is undoing all of my hard work and putting my Z back to stock (ish) prior to selling it

just some of us have higher tolerances than others some of us have a clunky agricultural mill others have a higher precision CNC machine some of us are more equal than others sorry Chris couldn't resist

Nice looking car I look forward to you getting your hands dirty

I would normally Critique your work but having lost my dad not so long ago I can empathize with you and your reasoning for the effort others would consider not worth while Nice job Chris

I'll see how the virus goes as i can't sell the Z until it's over so what else am i going to do ?
