Darren-B's 1971 240z Project Pumpkin Major UPDATE P48
Stutopia replied to Darren-B's topic in Other Cars
This is getting even more exciting. Great work -
Infiniti Q50S Hybrid , had one for a day! Wow speedy pants!
Stutopia replied to stanski's topic in Other Cars
Nice write up. I hope Infiniti stays a bit uner the radar as I really fancy one as a daily, but they'd lose some desireability for me if they started popping up everywhere. It's the new SAAB -
Nice mod, nice guide, you'll be doing an aerial swap next I love that you've pretended this was a button switch, just to cover up wanting to apply mad cow mango sauce to the undeside of the interior plastics

Because Nissan put it in the wrong place. My ejector seat button is going there just as soon as I can get some NOS rigged up to the seat. NOS drinks holder? or NOS air bags? Either way, I'd like to see a guide
-
They're no good at all, I'll do you a favor and take 'em off you for £50 but you pay postage They look mean as, nice one
-
But that dumy button doesn't do anything, why move it into the middle?

When I switched to winters before Xmas my rears went in the bin but the fronts still had a bit of meat on them. I'm after £80 for the pair and you can either visit glorious Blackpool or get someone like Paisley Freight to ship them for circa £20 (at your expense of course). Sorry I don't have a tyre depth gauge but I a trusty pound coin has stepped up. I think these little fellas are legal limit indicators. Thanks for looking.

Great work! Zed looks superb too

Probing UK air space. (Testing our defences)
Stutopia replied to Harryjax's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I don't think it's that unusual for military planes to fly in airspace above international waters, but don't let that get in the way of the PUTIN'S COMMIE DEATH PLANES FLY JUST 12 MILES FROM YOUR FAVOURITE SEASIDE DESTINATION headlines. Don't tell anyone, but I bet the sneaky Russians even have secret underwater vehicles, snooping around all over the place, loaded up ready to kill us all the moment someone reveals there's a suspicious side to how much he likes to be filmed wrestling with men. -
Great motors. Great snaps. :thumbs:

The Rays are brillant and standing out against the black in beautiful, contrasting silver, they look the shizzle.

I can't imagine getting in one and not being charmed, even if you don't fall in love. Clarkson is a tit, 'nuff said. I watched the one where he aquaplaned it in an M135i last night and then he spat the dummy, and droned on about the Golf mk 753. Yeah, the clutch is heavy, the plastics are questionable, some bits rattle or squeak, the rear visibility sucks and the OEM aerial is off a dodgem, but apart from other Z cars, nothing else looks so sexy out of the box and delivers so much bang for so little buck (perhaps GT86). Men want one, women want one in one. I can't imagine having another car that so consistently people ask me about, particularly non-car people who don't nomally rubber neck motors (several cougars I might add). Has anyone ever been asked, "Is that a Zonda mate?" as they climb out of a Chrysler Crossfire or BMW Z4??? Have you seen that look on someone's face when they ask how much you paid for it, then they find out it cost less to buy than thier brand new Kia? When I got chatting to a couple on a track day and I did a bit of drooling over the chap's Caymen build quality and cabin materials, it was very difficuly to stiffle my boner when his fit Mrs said she much preferred the look of the 350

+1 Well, perhaps I should say that the yellow ones will fetch a larger premium. Pete Where did they shave 75kg off from?

I know what you mean G and it is not that bad in the big scheme, but I can't walk past the offside now without eyes locking in on it, shedding a tear, and ignoring all the beautiful rest of it. Also I find that once you start "living with" this and that, it's a slippery slope. My Clio went to the great scrapyard in the sky - all because the sun roof stopped working. No really. I lived with that sunroof for months, then the interior door handle snapped off - I lived with that, the gear knob rubber came off - I lived with that, then the passenger door got a screwdriver hole from a break in (they didn't even steal my CDs!!!) - I lived with that, then I smashed a steel wheel on a kerb - I lived with that, then the next thing you know the gearbox is broken and it's only worth £50 to a scrappy, dead at 11 yrs old Still if you buy French, these things will happen

How to Smurfadise a Zed......**Yellow Brembos** P29
Stutopia replied to glrnet's topic in Member Build Projects
If you happen to need to get rid of a set of these in a few weeks time, I've always fancied painting mine -
Won't the one wing in MP2 look a bit odd though? Glad it's not too expensive for you, still sucks that you're having to fork out at all though. Going MP2 one panel at a time!

How to Smurfadise a Zed......**Yellow Brembos** P29
Stutopia replied to glrnet's topic in Member Build Projects
This loooks exciting, any teaser shots? (f the calipers not you and Doogy taped up) -
Do it. Do it now! On a slightly more serious note (do it!) that'll definitely need paint then, I'm afraid. You might as well try it yourself first - you've got nothing to lose at this point. And then do the Midnight Purple 2 thing anyway. £150, booked in for three weeks time. Don't need to do the bonnet and other wing
-
Thank you! I picked it up off a fellow member, but ultimately I think it came from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-BOOT-SPOILER-/131428492465?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e99bfa4b1 Just need a good bodyshop to make it fit well.
-
Thanks mate, very nice of you to say so. Chips away are my plan B.
-
Not only does it catch a nail, the panel is actually deformed inward slightly and it very nearly accumaltes standing water!!! I'll clean it and bang some touch up in simply to keep the elements at bay, but I fear this has wing re-spray written all over it. That means doing the bonnet and other wing too, if I'm doing the bonnet I may as well get a bulge bonnet fitted. Then you've done a grand getting it put right. Alternatively, I could get that Midnight Purple 2 full respray I've always wanted. All of a sudden, £75 quid to chips away starts to seem like a good idea! Gonna drop into my bodyshop guy this afternoon and see if he has any ideas.

So, you put the lime (citrus) in the cocounut and mix 'em all up? At the risk of being taken to school, perhaps it might make BSD less grabby if you were to try with a different MF weight or pile? Rather than mixing it with other goodies? With regard to the previous LSP I used (post #282), it was probably BSD applied as a drying aid.

If you do, see if it stops for seemingly no reason after a couple of hours. Mine has done this twice now, with memory card space left and battery left. Just stopped

Don't be too hard on BJ. I'm going to go with a stronger ratio next time and see where that takes me. I think at this price it would still consititute good value at 5:1 instead of 10:1. Also, due to working the last three weekends, that wheel grime and bird lime might have been there a while putting down roots... :shameface:
