  1. Showcase works for me I'm literally two seconds down the road in Winnersh opposite Haldfords Maybe give it a month or so when the weather is slightly better, Ill speak with the managers to see if we can cordon off part of the car park and maybe set up a couple of BBQ s or something. Id feel a little embarrassed bring my 350 though she needs alot of attention at the moment!!!! Ah ok, been to that halfords many times! Yeh that sounds like a good idea re.showcase, we could also ask to reserve a screen for the movie, perhaps get JapSociety involved to help organise and get more car folk there. And yeh mine needs a proper detail (long overdue) before i take her to any meets haha EDIT: I just sent JapSociety a FB message to see if it's something they'd be interested in taking the lead on. My girl is suffering from rust on all 4 arches, I'm not to concerned about the fronts as they are removal-able its just the rears that i need to get sort as soon as I have moved to Bracknell!! SO far Top Gear in Basingstoke is looking to be the best value for money unless anyone else knows of a good body shop in the area. Good call with JapSociety Haven't had to use a body shop before so couldn't say, however for the near future I am thinking about a whole car repray (get it looking like new again) and under body rust protection where needed. Do let me know how you get on with them. As for the event, no reply from JapSociety, So i emailed the Showcase group bookings enquiry about our idea this morning, I asked them to propose some dates and times to us, then I will create an official event thread, so we can get a gauge on interest & numbers, and of course if people want to let other car clubs / friends know that's great, the more the merrier.

  3. Spotted on the opposite side hard shoulder, last night around 10pm, i chuckled to myself haha.
  4. Wow very sorry to hear this happened, rather alarming too that it did so without any warning signs, was the chain ever replaced previously in the car's history? Anyway, happy to hear you managed to sell and are now looking forward to your next Zed
  5. Im in Reading too (Earley) and see lots of Zeds on the A329 and around. Don't think iv'e seen your Red one yet. I'm the Silver one with tinted windows and Michelin tire letters. I'm up for a meet whenever, Reading uni has a nice newly laid big car park, 2 hour free parking (my cheeky drifting spot). Iv'e had a zed meet idea for a while, which I won't be able to make now as im on holiday, but i'll propose it anyway...Showcase Reading (big car park) for a meet followed by screening of Fast and Furious 8 (April 12th release).
  6. Some useful info found online that should clear all the confusion (if anyone reading this was confused like I was). Iv'e made bold and added info in brackets for the 350z specific stuff: Bulb types T10-501/W5W (350z front sidelights, number plate, and boot light) and T15-194/W16W are genrally used for sidelights, but some vehicles also use this fitment for number plate and interior lights. Bulb types T20-7440/3156 (350z front & rear indicator, reverse and fog light) and T20-7443/3157 (350z Brake & Tail light, in a single bulb) are mainly used for brake, fog, indicator and reverse light functions. The difference between 7440/W21W & 7443/W215W is that 7443/W215W is a dual filament bulb that allows two functions from one bulb, such as a sidelight and brake light in one bulb or an indicator and parking light in one bulb. 7440/W21W does not have this function.

    Invidia vs Milltek

    I just recently had Berks HFC and JWT Pop charger installed in addition to the existing miltek cat back system, and i know what sound you are talking about, i also hear it when i get past the 4k revs.
  9. 279 to 287 in my DE, feels like a new car much more responsive and powerful in every gear especially second gear happy days! Thanks to Chirag for organising, Jez and his team
  10. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at Horsham My manager asked me why I need the day off tomorrow, so I just replied.....because race car 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Considering Si8pny got to 287 with his mods (which didn't include HFC) I'm surprised yours with the test pipes didn't get more then 287? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Interesting, my OEM cats will get replaced with brand new Berks soon, followed by uprev, hopefully the smell will go after as it has done on yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Nice gains on the de's! Eagerly looking forward to the 17th Feb! Did you guys get any changeable maps put on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. This video shows you how to use the cruise control buttons to switch between maps after UpRev Check out what this guy set his Map 5 to, very clever, would prevent your car ever getting stolen (unless the thief knows how to change maps)
  15. I'm booked on 17th Feb 3:30pm. I'll be there from 10am though with my packed lunch as my car is getting all the mods done before hand lol. Looking forward to meeting you guys hopefully we all make some big gains!
  16. Wouldn't mind a couple maps perhaps something like: 1) UpRev Base 2) Pops n Bangs 3) Track 3) Fuel Economy (for motorway cruising and daily commute)
  17. 27th Jan 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 17th Feb 1. Chirag1988 2. Valy 3. DarmoZ 4. 5.
  18. So how does this work exactly, switching between maps? Do we still maintain a functioning cruise control? I use cruise control often haha
  19. Spoke to Jez, he can fit my mods prior to the UpRev on the same day I'm getting Pop Charger, plenum spacer, and HFC's done prior. Not bothering with the headers and cat back was done by previous owner. Going from stock to mods and up rev in one day should be nice noticeable difference for me on the drive home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Realised I never updated this thread with pics. Here are some pics I took in Summer with the wheels on the car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I assume you are talking about OEM sub. Mine is aftermarket and much more powerful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Just run a can of Cata-clean before MOT, passes emissions every single time.
