That looks great!!! First year of ownership I needed a chip repair to the Z and had this done by an insurance outfit, didn't look anywhere near as good as your DIY effort - great call.

National Z Event - British Motor Museum 2023

No ticket needed for the club event, unless you want a nose round the museum itself. Across platforms numbers looking great, collectively 260+ cars down as going/interested with Yakushi trade stand in attendance. -
Recently similar happen to @Phil T with his HR, ended up taking it elsewhere nothing done to the car and it passed - put it down to calibration of the first places testing equipment perhaps. Your test results show as the engine/exhaust we're getting hotter the figures were getting better/cleaner. You'd benefit from a 15mins Italian tune up and test it as soon as you got back to the test station.

Spring Bump ☺️ -
Listen to her GO, that front end!!! What a track, she looks right at home and very well done. That's what I found blissful about the 350z on track, less shifts, tones of low end torque - more WOT ✅

Annual service time, P2 due however as I have a reusable multilayer foam panel filter, a quick shake n vac was all that's needed. Wipers rotated and tyre pressures checked. Having replaced the valve covers recently, I was shocked to see the amount of oil which remains in the heads regardless of whether the sump plug was in or out. Effectively there's always a handover of 12 month old oil that'll contaminate the new and continue for another stint. I had the idea to carry out a flushing oil change and as I was going from Castrol Edge back to Millers Trident, I wanted a minimal handover. New oil put in and ran for 20mins before draining. Oil filter removed and drained also. Nismo vs HKS Hybrid Flushing oil on the left, 12 month old oil on the right. To think that flushing oil I'd have asked to look after my engine for the next 12 months 😳 Fresh oil poured in for the second time, ran for a couple minutes and I've never seen the dip stick so clean. If you've never done it, for the price of a tub of oil do it - she's worth it

Deep stuff pal, sorry to hear that.

I'm not up on the different ways to buy a car so forgive me. £2000 Cayman S, can't be bad ay

Fair play matey, I'd be crying

Sorry to hear that, does seem a rather large and unexpected bill. Always a gamble I guess with not taking out an extended warranty with a premium brand sports car. Might be able to source a good condition used pair.
