My car seems to have a canvas roof not vinyl - did different year z cars have different fabric for their roofs?

 

if it looks like canvas, it will be the OEM roof....it is a vinyl roof with a layer of Canvas bonded over the top....the mohair roof, is based on a butyl rubber membrane with a cloth outer and inner, they remain much more flexible over time...I'll see if i can get some shots of mine with the roof up, nearly all are with the top down!

Also looking at repairing the holes in the roof - is there a way to patch this up rather than replacing the fabric?

 

 

Welcome to the Forum, 

unfortunately, patching the roof, really wont help much, as if its the OEM vinyl, it will shrink and harden, and will continue to get worse.

when i got mine, i factored in the price of a new roof.

the best place in the London area to get it replaced is Carhood Warehouse...the mohair option is the the best as its will give a 15-20 year life and will remain flexible and in good shape.

the only down side is its £800 fitted, but i can say from personal experience its well worth doing

Sunday Morning  27th Oct 2019, passing the Borehamwood/Elstree Premier Inn

spotted a yellow 370Z GT,  large rear wing and the Black 370GT graphics along the side, didnt catch the plate number

i'll try and do this one this year!

i know that @Payco had some issues fitting the Ark to his Nismo

seem to recall, back in old top gear days, the V6 supercharged was the version to go for, but i could be wrong...

looks very similar in its styling to the 71' 2000gt-r, 

look forwrd to seeing this at Leeds Castle one day!!

There was a thread on here a few years ago, where some kids had jumped on the roof of a Zed...a PDR man managed to get it to 95% sorted.  you will definitely need to replace the a pillars though

followed your trip on FB, looks like you guys had a great time...nice write up Muxy

i'm seriously considering investing in Quickjacks.....whats your verdict...good buy?

well done...top 5 isn't too shoddy!!

The floor Before -

Then we had to move everything back in and rearrange it to look better.

Some new tool boxes

 

 

 

All tools away nicley

 

 

 

 

Some custom made tool holders (stainless steel so they should stay looking good)

@Paul K I've seen your car in the flesh and had a chat with you at Ace Cafe earlier this year. The drop on your car looks great along with your wheel's which look amazing! 

Cheers Rik,

yes i remember the chat!!

It looks OK in the pictures, but i still need to do something about the paint defects on the boot lid and the roof lid cover

looks good Martin....bet you was thouroghly miffed when you first scratched them though!!

heres my roadster on Tein S springs and 19" wheels.

no problems with them

difficult for me to say really, as i had a japspeed K2 on the car when i got it.....safe to say the invidia sounds much better than that, much louder than stock.

also i get a nice burble on the over-run

Tripple is great as a hand polish, for some of those hard to get areas where a machine cant go or wont reach

many thanks to Adrian, for getting lower ball joints to Sly ( @Sly@Kaizer Motor  )   last week
