Payco

Welcome. Hope to see you at a show soon. Look up our thread for Go Japan at Brands Hatch in Sept. will be good to meet you and the car. Martin

Welcome. Given your location why don’t you come and join us at Simply Jap at Beaulieu next month ?.

I sent him a WhatsApp earlier Andy. I’m on his case.👀

Do the other breathing mods and you will see greater benefit . Best to do them all together but glad you are happy for now.

Oops. Best to go with Motordyne / Kintek or known one. You only really get the benefit if you do the other normal upgrades with it. If you are happy that’s the main thing. Hope it had at least a good gasket so keep an eye for leaks. Did you follow the torque procedure when refitting ? It’s important you do.

What plenum spacer do you have ?. Unusual not to be supplied with spacers because it won’t fit without them. You need your strut brace on.

Hoping to get along in the 510 at some point but classic show next weekend, the 2nd and then Simply Jap also in July so busy period .

Rare 4 door Skykine at The Players Classic at Goodwood today.

Get my plates or someone to sell it for you. Lots of companies online that will.

Commonly known on this forum for many years as a BGW- Big Gay Wing. Simply awful.

Long time ago now but thanks. Just trying to give you some options to think about.

Dave. There are a few things I need to explain to everyone about Ace. Regardless of what it may appear Ace are very organised and on the ball. Mark Wilsmore who manages the events request we supply names and registrations every year without exception. He also gives me a two week prior to the event deadline to submit them and is very clear about cars not just turning up on the day. His rules, not mine. I am more than happy for someone to step into my shoes and run this event. I act as REO to help make the forum an enjoyable place for guys and girls to go to events with their cars. Until you walk in Andy James and my shoes for a season nobody will appreciate what a commitment it is. I know we do it out of choice but it really isn’t much to ask people to let us know if they can’t make an event. I also don’t want people to think you can put your name down and then providing you notify us it’s fine to not show. I’m my mind you should at least have a valid reason to pull out.The other key point here is events plan their stand allocation and site plan based upon the number of club members attending. Therefore for example if we have 30 attending a show the event will allocate a spot for 30 cars. When only 20 show it’s a very awkward situation as a REO to explain. A situation where you just roll up on the day is not workable .There’s more to this than members appreciate.

Our own resident pro wrapper and a good friend zippypooz (Steve) on here. Done lots of work for the forum privately. Done my 370z Nismo and Zebs car recently. Send him a PM. Steve travelled with me in my Datsun to Ace Saturday. Guy wearing the red baseball cap FYI John. My zed below after Steve did some wrap for me

To give you an idea . After I changed it to hydro dipped.

Long time ago now. Hard work, sore fingers but helped the miserable winter pass at the time . Hydro dipping is a better option now and what I would recommend.

You could always spend all winter like I did polishing it to death with a polishing wheel and dremel. Mine below 8 years ago but never again..

Look In the Zeds for sale section on here and maybe speak to Andy Muxlow as he has a lovely example he is looking to sell to step back into a 370z. He’s no friend of mine 😂 but I’ve heard he’s a great guy.

That would be an admin nightmare on top of what is already a time intrusive job. There are other ways so watch this space..

Thanks George and Paul , great to see you both and thanks for making such a long trip. I’m more than disappointed in those that said they would come and once again didn’t show the courtesy to message me. I felt for everyone who showed and you and those that travelled so far to see so few cars. I certainly won’t secure a venue like Ace for 13 cars when we had 23 booked next year so this event may need to be canned. Watch this space for some possible rule changes on committing to events and then not showing. Your cars are a credit to you both. Thanks for travelling so so far. Sending all our love and best wishes to Amy and Matt.xx Martin

Good shout Col. it’s a nasty journey either way from every direction in my experience. 2.5 hours from home for me in Hayward’s Heath 😡

Did you mean to post this on someone else’s new member thread ?🤷‍♂️

You brought a show car, not a daily essentially. They were £5k to make FYI.

Have you any idea how much the previous owner paid for them to be custom made ? I doubt you will find a set of wheels that cost as much for a swap .

You brought Andy’s car (Panman) on here. Azure blue, custom made centre hub rims. Stunning car and a good friend and we’ll known member. That car was kept in top mechanical condition and always looked outstanding. Congratulations on owning a gem .
