  1. Always up for a forum raffle or a meet or both or something else, but whatever you do get donation page sorted for some donation coin.
  2. I chinned Chuck Norris, then learnt to speak braille.
  3. Great work so far , love '70 builds, I think they're stunning.
  4. Like this, particularly the bead on the black art of the Z badge.
  5. Make sure you've got "Remember Me" checked on the sign in page if you want to avoid it on future logins.
  6. Err, if that's what you're telling the Mrs, yeah totally could be that. Otherwise, no I don't think so. I think the forum remembers your choice and cookies it, until it detects you don't have the cookie and then prompts you again. Good of you to be shopping for surprise wife presents like that and remembering to clear your history down
  7. It asks you once, then each time aftera you have cleared your cookies/browser history. What you been looking at you mucky little boy? You'll go blind
  8. Did you sort this? I noticed mine was hanging off today and I get alternator whine at low volumes?
  9. Good write up, thanks for sharing I've only had a very short drive in one, but I was thoroughly impressed by it and understand why a two car house would have one. Especially with the breaks you can get if it's a company car. I was impressed with the good quality interior, as well as the torque
  10. I'm glad Skin looks best (at that price!)
  11. Already an interesting read, looking forward to beads and longevity. I've never done a second layer of Skin after 24 hours, as I never had two good days of weather off work since I found it. For info, AMMO charge a flat $50 shipping fee worldwide, however many produtcs you buy, so it's either extremely expensive (for one item ) or great value if you fill your boots like I did! They also chucked in a free bottle of Citrus APC and there's a 10% discount code if you check advert banners on The Smoking Tire [sic] website before you order. It'll never compete on price per fl oz basis until there's a UK distributor. Thanks very much for taking the time to do this mate, much appreciated I can't imagine doing it myself as having different products all round on the car my OCD would explode
  12. Also there's only a finite amount of top coat one can to remove; whilst I can correct it's not really advisable to continually correct all the time unless you budget for a respray at some point, so the general plan is to reduce the amount of correction I carry out without letting the finish suffer too much for it. Glazes are also a great way to achieve a dripping wet look even on perfect paint. This is a good point, not thunk about it like that.
  13. Glad you got it sorted and posted the resolution.
  14. For a chap who can correct paint, why so many glazes?
  15. If you're not getting far with the forum search, use google's mega servers by putting site:350z-uk.com into the google search box before your keywords.
  16. Fixed that I fixed your fix
  17. Black mirrors FTW. All the best looking Zeds have 'em. They look spot on
  18. It never got dry enough for long enough to add some protection, but I did get 20 minutes of dry with fading light to clean up the tips Whatever anyone tries to tease you with, never stray from the Britemax Metal Twins. Before and afters Both done
  19. This might not be a popular view, but when my clicky axles were solved I got the feeling it wasnt't the splines themselves it was the greasing in the final photo of post #1 in this guide http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/428639-clicking-noise-from-rear-axle.html When you greased, did you grease here heavily?
  20. Nice work. The blue looks superb If there was an HR in Azure, I'd have upgraded long before now.
  21. My housemates and I got rumbled when I was a student. Lesson learned, always keep your living room curatins shut and never ever answer the door. He basically gave us a stern look and told us we should sort out a licence before he comes back, so we ate him Not really. We bought one sharpish, it went on the database, he never came back. I think I would play the ignorance card on a car if I got caught (assuming you don't have one at home) and then buy one immediately, shows intent. DON'T BREAK THE LAW KIDS, FOLLOWING THE RULES IS WHAT'S REALLY COOL.
  22. They're such a great wheel, they look good and they weigh nothing. It's a shame the offset isn't a bit more agressive as stock. I'd love to buy some other Rays for her, but for that kind of money you could have a track tart
  23. There's definitely something satisfying about it. Shame you can't lay down protection in it too
  24. So with a spare weekday laying around, I got up, put on my detailing pants (2000 grit gusset to keep you smooth ) opened the curtains and... rain Meteo projected a two hour weather window between 12 and 2, so I waited and watched. Usually I'd find something else to do but I'm busy the next three days and with a light hoon last weekend there was a kilo of brake dust on the wheels and an inch of GTR exhaust grime on the front which I have been desperate to shift all week. Eventually the rain stopped and it almost looked like a clean car. But last week's brake dust was definitely under there and... ... you can see those run lines that form on the haunches of a zed when it's been out in the wet for a spin. A quick spritz with AMMO Plum Wheel Cleaner and then a once over woolie job with Envy Evolution wheel cleaner and there was a pleasant purple foamy pool on the floor and... ...an immacutale wheel underneath. These two products are nailed on brilliant. I won't be dabbling anymore on wheel cleaner, except what's in a WaxyBox. Immacualte, if you ignore the crap they did't remove from the wheel weights when they were balanced The run lines were still there after "snow foaming". I've used quotes as the foam was a mix of some envy shampoo and meguiars hyper wash nearly dead bottles I was using up, not a proper snow foam. A proper TBW later and they were history. The more I use Envy Shampoo, the more I like it. It's got great lubricity, cuts through grime, suds well, smells fine and leaves protection alone - perfect. (Fake beads used to check for run lines). All dried off and I was set to hit her with some sealant and perform a very rare waxing, but then this happened Usually there's a tower there, not just precipitation It did allow for a couple of fresh beads to form though Still beading on three week old Gyeon WetCoat, topped with AMMO Hydrate drying aid a couple of weeks ago, no QD or wax on here for months. Not got a final photo of the washed Shark as I was getting soaked and I'm hoping it might stop in bit and I can finish the job properly and lay down some more protection. For no reason at all, other than I like it, gratuitous sexy Rays Engineering shot.
  25. You've got a 60 ft long garage, get busy!! I've got to do it in nature.
