Very nice. Good job.

Some lucky pedestrians there.

No problem and hopefully they'll be able to fix it for you so you can finally enjoy your Zed when your ready.

Ok it's a lot harder using street view to find them but a lot easier when you come across a Nissan dealership. 8180 E Skelly Dr, Tulsa, USA. There is a 370Z in shot and a 350Z in the car park I'm pretty sure. Link: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.122153,-95.883776,3a,75y,180h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sm7hiZz2E-vcAtEiM1qXZlQ!2e0

As jkyb said should be fixable. Google found me these place's in or near Fareham; http://autowheels.rtrk.co.uk/?scid=60536&kw=6599362:173946&pub_cr_id=32421234113 http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/locations/fareham-hants/ No idea if they're any good but can't hurt to ask them for a quote etc.

^^ Cheers Tricky.

Definitely agree with you. When I was younger I often carried a knife as well ~ usually my Swiss Army knife but occasionally a small lock knife. It was used always as a tool and came in very handy especially when we used to make dens as young children. Unfortunately I have been in a few fights as a young guy growing up and never once did I resort to getting my knife out of my pocket even when I was once on the losing end of a scuffle. The mind set of some people these days is definitely messed up with some lacking any form of empathy at all for what they are doing to another person. Anyway enough of that. All getting a bit serious. Here's a few pics of some knives I've made. The knife below was made from a kit from Brusletto of Norway. Very easy to make (epoxy handle & ferrule/blade together) and tbh the hardest bit was hand stitching the leather scabbard. Also polished the metal work to make it a bit nicer than it was as standard. This is one of my favourite knives that I have made ~ it was again another kit this time from the "Rough Rider" custom shop. The kit was very poor and a lot of hand finishing was needed to get everything to fit together & work. I hand polished all the pins, wood, blade, spine and locks. I also slightly modified the blade for a more clipped back style point and mirror polished it. Hope you like.

Haha already on YouTube...so just a bit of advertising left to do lol if it works - 10% is yours lmao That would be ace.

Ahh no probs. Good luck with the search. If you want a new one though then Tarmac Sportz could sort you out with a Berks one for around £125. Link: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/Berk_Technology_350Z_03-06_Intake_Suction_Tube/BT1403_.aspx

No idea sorry Vlad but put that video on Youtube as the fastest 350Z doing 100-140mph and you'll get a million hits. Then just get some advertising on the video and watch the money roll in.

I would say birds eye view is harder in some respects to spot a Zed but then street view is more time consuming.

Jjt has a lovely one for sale here; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88016-for-sale-takeda-air-intake-for-350z-de-03-06-wheatshield/

Why?? Take a look in your kitchen draw and I'm sure you have similar if not longer bladed knives! It's the idiots who misuse these things that you want to be anxious of but then they could just as easily harm you with their car, a shovel, a punch, a table or whatever else comes to hand. Not having a go at you twobears just saying there is nothing to worry about imo.

That's good ~ Definitely for the best to take your time cleaning it first as you mentioned you wouldn't want to put scratches/swirl marks on the paint. Make sure you get a good fitting one though and also make sure that it's designed for outdoor use as some are just meant for inside garages etc from what I've seen. Think the genuine Nissan ones also came with a padlock to make sure the cover can't be stolen.

Very nice Tricky Ricky. Love the drop point style one at the bottom. Not sure if it was you that I was talking to about this on here before? ..but I've made a few homemade knives myself. Made one or two from those kits you can buy but also some using knife blade blanks, some from old broken knives and some from scratch. Mainly fixed blades but also a lock back which is one of my favourites.

Maybe he had a late Friday night?

I know I got lucky with my Zed spot Damiiian as I did a birds eye view first then went onto street view afterwards when I thought I spotted a likely car. Honestly can't believe I spotted one so quick though. Might play this game again later.

Personally I would never use one but lot's of people do especially when they don't use the car very often. Your car though will need to be super clean imo before you attempt to put any sort of cover on. Washed/dried and waxed I would imagine to be best although I'd have thought just washed & dried would be ok. I know zmanalex used to sell the genuine Nissan made outdoor car covers for around £150 so maybe worth asking him if he still sells them. You can get them from Nissan main dealers but then it's probably more like £250-£300. Of course there is always eBay which will probably sell none genuine versions for £29.99.

Omfg!! Literally thought bugger it I'll have a look on google maps street view for a 350Z. Found one in less than a minute. Went to the USA and thought California might be a likely place to start. 2854-2870 E Palisade Dr, Fresno, CA 93720 USA.

^^ My guess would be it's a 19 row oil cooler. GLWTS Simon.

Great pictures and interesting write up ~ going to sound awesome when finished but not as good as that V8 will I'll bet.

I used to have a single din JVC KD-AVX11 DVD/CD player in my old Impreza. For a small screen the DVD quality was excellent and of course the music sounded great as JVC are great quality imo.

^^ Good idea I think.

^^ Like that "fat tyres" thread Buster ~ 900 odd pages long though.

Happy Birthday Commander and others. Have a good day.
