Quite like the mirror thing, its a bit different

Let it heal properly before doing anything. I smashed my wrist racing motocross about 8 years ago but carried on riding for the rest of the day. In fact I rode for about 6 more months before eventually I couldn't bare the pain and went to the drs. They fobbed me off for a few months saying it would have healed by now if it was broken, however eventually after a few more trips and me confirming that it had got so bad I struggled to lift folders at work, they begrudgingly xrayed it and found 4 white lines that were fractures/breaks and also confirmed ligament damage and tendonitis. I suffered for about a year and a half all told. It never was plastered though (which I was secretly gutted about)

What was the quote??? Love shawshank..

Good day getting to meet some of you. Some lovely cars and nice to see another Midnight blue Zed - and one that looked so good too!

 

Will try to get some of my pics up asap

Was out for a family day so it was nice to spot a Zed

Washed mine last weekend and haven't driven it since. Was hoping to find time to wax it but that's rather unlikely now. Hopefully it'll still look nice though....

 

Is there a category for 'slightly shiny but not quite as nice as some others'?

Black or red for me

I don't know anyone from here yet. If you see me walking around looking lost please feel free to start a convo. Dark blue zed with nismo kit

Is there a difference between getting in or parking by or outside of the gate? I assume that even those of us inside can leave before the end of the day if we need to and being inside doesn't mean we're trapped (for want of a better word)? I've never been to the Ace before

I used to live in Epping but am now about 8 miles away on the edge of Hertfordshire so still pretty local. Have you seen the meet coming up shortly at the Ace Café, there will be close to 40 of us bringing our cars along I believe.

Amy, is there any contest / competition / prize planned for this meeting? If so, TORQEN would like to sponsor.

 

Adrian

if the contest could be along the lines of which blue zed is most in need of white front reflectors, and the prize be white reflectors, that would be great!

Maximums, I've added you to the list to ensure you have a space. If for any reason you can't make it, just remove yourself.

 

I'll be there!

Cracking, another noob! We should get our heads together on the day and write out a list of questions for the others to answer!

That's constantly on the 350z groups on Facebook. With the exception of the front splitter I do quite like it

Wow, sounds expensive! If anyone from here see's a dark blue 57 plate Zed with nismo kit please come say hello. I'm hoping to be meeting a friend on the way so there may be a 500 arbarth and possibly a 911 C4 with me. Would be good to put some faces to names,

I don't, and the BMW is going to the garage on Saturday for a fortnight as well, so I'll be bringing the wife's Clio 182 in black. Would've brought the MR2, but it snapped a manifold stud the other week which I haven't had a chance to fix yet.

Bmw is in for two weeks? What's it having done?

Ekona, what car are you bringing? I'll be keeping a look out for zeds in the car park, but I'm not sure that you still have one?

I like that!

Howdy. Where in London are you, I'm just outside and there are a few others not too far away. You should pop along to the Ace Café meet in a few weeks to say hello. I've only owned my Zed for a few weeks and thought I'd go introduce myself.

Lots of pics I see show them doing this, I think it must be a reflector used to highlight the dent so it's more visible and easier to work on?

What company is he from, I need to find a decent paintless dent removal firm. Glad you got it sorted!

I won't be doing any hard work to be honest, just want to ensure it is at least is good as when it was new. There is a reasonable amount of build up on the inner disk surface and I thought about skimming but I believe that costs around £40 per disk and I can get brand new Pagids for less. If the Pagids are as good as stock brembo discs then I figured that is the best option.

 

Thanks for the message Adrian, I did take a look at that the other day but it a a bit overkill for my needs

Want to change my front pads and disc on my 07 Zed - despite it only having covered 19k miles, there is some judder from what I assume are warped discs.

 

On eurocarparts website they are quoting pads at £28 for pagid or £50 for Ferrodo

 

Discs are £65 for Pagid yet £360 for Brembo!

 

Has anyone tried Pagid? I'm sure they will be fine and I wont be tracking the car, but they seem very cheap

 

Any feedback?

 

Cheers

I'm having the same issue with my spare key. New battery and the bugger just wont work. Tried the method above, and the other one about turning the key 6 times etc etc but nowt. Last option is to take it to the dealer for reprogramming. Was quoted £57.

I have just booked into Pistonheads Sunday Service at brands in a few weeks time and think I recognise one or two names on the list. Anyone else coming along? If you want to, they have space for 500 cars (all makes) and it kicks off at 9.30am. Just go onto the Pistonheards website and get booked in.
