Thanks for noticing...! Previous owner's handiwork, GOD knows what he was trying to achieve...!

But which bit am I unscrewing? The knurled part, or the darker coloured metal cylinder INSIDE the knurled bit? The latter is waaaay in there and pliers would be impossible....

Got a bit too carried away with the hot foam brush and snapped off my stubby - I'm wondering if there's anything I can do with the remainder as it looks like there isn't enough exposed thread to screw anything into anymore - can anyone tell me if the picture below looks like I'll need a new mount? Or can I remove the remainder somehow?

I'd like a pair of smoked next time these become available - there's a start!

I'm planning to go sometime in May...are there any special dates I should look for? Spa sounds like a good plan too.....

I want to do this too...what product did you use? And what's the deal in terms of legality/ brightness, do I need LED/brighter bulbs or anything? I have a '53 with standard rear lights...

Well thanks for all the suggestions... I went with satin black in the end with carbon dipped centres...and had my badges carbon dipped while I was at it!

Exactly the pic I was looking for - I don't think that looks bad at all?

I love that bronze...I think its coming down to between that, Shadow Chrome, or matt black/red lip...!

I'm getting my Rays 18's refurbished and painted next week, and am having trouble deciding on colours. The car is going down an 'all-black' route already as I've de-badged (except black burger badges) and done the windows and door handles too. I was thinking satin or matt black, or is this TOO much? Does anyone have this combination already? How does it look? And dipping them carbon - awesome, or tacky? Show me your black zeds with interesting wheels!

I'll take the knob if you still have it? Andy

Can we see them with the Rays? And did you use any spacers?

I've got a facelift Nismo lip in silver - will need painting but PM me if interested...

All the kids on my street think it's a GTR too, and insist on shouting it when I drive by...I haven't corrected them yet

Not guilty...! I'm 42!

Well - thanks to Ewen my engine's being delivered next week and should be fitted before the weekend by a local garage - I'll post some pics if anyone's interested as the work gets carried out...!

Sounds EXACTLY like what I had - check the oil or just get it changed now!!!!

No leak...no patches on the drive...complete mystery as I don't think the DE burns oil as a rule? Regardless, Ewen has hooked me up with a new engine which will hopefully be transplanted in the next couple of weeks!!! I'll try and get pics etc. on here as the work progresses...

For reasons unknown to me, my Z has suddenly lost most of its oil and virtually dried out with no warning lights whatsoever- and the garage reckons it would be most cost effective to get a new lump in it as opposed to fixing it. Crank bearings are just the beginning of my problems... It's a 2003 model DE. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can supply me with an engine fit for purpose? The car will drive (for now) so I can get it to someone reasonably close...but it's remaining miles are limited! Glad of ANY help anyone can offer...I'm desperate!

Just been quoted £239 fully comp on my 53 plate Z...god I'm old...

This is good advice. Or an MR2 Mk2. Can't fault your taste but I would NOT drop thousands on just insuring the beast, especially NOT fully comp, cos if you crash it, she's gone...! Martin Lewis has some good car insurance guides...if you want to go this route...! http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/car-insurance/young-drivers http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/car-insurance/

Just tried but he's not accepting new messages, I'll ring 'em direct...!

AWESOME! Can I come down Saturday and get one fitted? Is the website price inc. fitting? I think you stock both systems I mentioned, ooo decisions decisions...!

I'm just an hour from them - is that really an option?

I can't see any shipping prices on your site MITZ - can you let me know what they are? Shipping to the midlands if that helps...!
