  1. As the weather tomorrow looks shocking we may have to move the meet to the underground Sainsbury's car park just down the road. Last time we went there it was empty downstairs and full of moped riding corsa driving bad men upstairs so make sure you come downstairs! Unless you like that sort of thing!?!?!

     

    Stick this code in google maps for exact location of entrance --> 9C4X26PQ+96

     

    Or the old fashioned way:

    775 Witan Gate, Milton Keynes, MK9 2FW

  3. The Milton Keynes meets seem to be getting larger and larger now, last time we had 12 350s and 3 370s (including a couple of Nismo's). Seem to picking a few up from the facebook group as well which is nice.

    Let's meet where we usually do, and then move the cars for a new photo once we've all turned up.

    New parking location, TBC closer to event.

  4. Well...... update time.

     

    I requested OEM glass rather than replacement pilkinton glass. Seemed like a simple request?

     

    They wanted to check with the insurer that they would pay the difference. (I assumed they'd pay a bit towards it and i'd foot the rest, therefore, if it was £50 more for proper Nissan glass i'd be happy to pay it)

     

    Nearly two weeks later, 2 complaints via my insurer and 8 phone calls later I have a quote.

     

    £850+ for Nissan glass ON TOP of what the insurer would pay (approx £200).....oh yeah and don't forget the £75 excess :lol:

     

    Pilkington glass it is then......

     

    Edit: And the crack is now about 12 inches long, that frost the other night didn't help! Going to look pretty at Japfest :thumbdown:

  5. sends chills down my spine... i'd rather drive my Z without a windscreen than let those n00bs back near it.

    Purely out of interest, what was the outcome of yours? The thread went a little quiet.. :lol:

     

    Regardless, i'll be using autoglass and i will be doing a video documenting the condition of my car in all the areas people have mentioned above before they commence work.

  6. Thanks guys, finally got through to DirectLine who instantly directed me to AutoGlass.

     

    I inquired about using actual Nissan glass but have been informed i would have to pay the difference and i would have to wait a minimum of 3 weeks whilst they locate or even manufacture. I also asked about the exterior rubber trim, they told me they would only refit existing and would not replace it.

     

    For my own sanity i will remove the A & B pillars before the technician arrives so thanks for the heads up, found a relatively decent write up on the american forum so will give that a go.

     

    They have the glass in stock and a fitter ready for Saturday, i cant wait 3 plus weeks or paying out extra so looks like this is as good as it gets. :thumbdown:

  7. I'm guessing that it's a little easier to get hold of GT-R glass as they're still making them or at least not as old for the older models. Hope I can get some genuine Nissan glass and surrounds otherwise I'll just have to settle for whatever they can get hold of. Luckily(?!) my windscreen was already scratched on the opposite side from the previous owner not replacing windscreen wipers regularly enough so will get rid of that!!

  8. 50mph'ish stone impact cracked my windscreen this afternoon. Will ring the insurance company tomorrow and see what the deal is but has anyone had any issues getting it replaced due to the age of the cars??

  9. We had a good turnout last night so good time to get the next meet organised. This has become a regular thing over the last year and half and keen to keep it going. Get a few new faces every now and again so would be good to keep growing, think the largest turn out so far was 13 zed's. Last night we equalled that so let's see if we can outgrow it this time.

     

    Car park by the MK Dons stadium.

    Unit A8

    MK1 Shopping Park

    Stadium Way, Milton Keynes, MK1 1ST

     

    New parking location, (green circled areas) let's try to get some different style of photos but also stop the zeds being spread so far out. Let's park either side of the centre walkway. People usually empty out from the shops from 7 onwards so its always getting quieter and any cars are normally gone by 8ish.
