  1. Why do people do it? Youll park literally at the other end of the car park and there is always one who will cone find you. I just park in children bays now. Let the hate comments flow!
  2. Underneath the arch letting water come in and pool in the corner, causing it to rust. Job for the spring will be all wheels off, scrub the arches and underseal them
  3. So little bit of an update, long over due! So the last couple of months have been a bit @*!#, to be honest. I left my current job for what I thought would be better, but it turned out to be much, much worse. I lasted a week there before for the first time ever, walking out of a job. So, just over two months of being out of work, scratching around but being determined to get it right it meant no modifcations, no shows, no meets. But this changed as of Tuesday when I landed a job at Yeomans Honda, a literal five minute walk from home so no commuting! I start next Thursday which i cant wait as it means the modifcations can flow again So whats new? Well I managed to pick up a set of neochrome extended wheel nuts from Chris @Tarmac@TarmacSportz Next up the Z had seemed to develop a case of tin worm, which had resulted in this So the bodyshop owed me a favour, so it was off down to them to have the rust sorted, and a freshen up on the doors and bonnet. Was quite surprised with how far gone it had become. They reckon that a pinprick hole had been letting in water and just rusted it out, as youll see below And the finished article Will be pickingit up tomorrow for which Im quite excited! Been a while since I've been able to take it out for a good drive. Lookig forward to what 2018 has to offer, but thats all for now
  4. In regards to track time, its something Ive never really looked into but do many shows like this, JDMcombe etc have like beginners laps? Id really like to take the Z out on one, Ive done one before in the Honda but obviously still very much a novice!

  6. Not the best photos by a long shot, but it was an awesome day and the stand was impressive. Hopefully next year will be even better
  7. Metal Gear Solid. Without shadow of doubt. Still gripes me that its a half completed game though due to Kojima walking out
  8. Wasn't that fussed by the new call of duty if Im honest. The amount of inaccuracies and mistakes put me off. I enjoyed the campaign but it was one of those "one playthrough" type games. As others have said Ill stick to BF1, finally hit level 101 last night Horizon zero dawn is just incredible though. A very refreshing game and absolutely stunning in 4K. Recently released their first DLC : The frozen wilds and the new enemies are absolutely brutal
  9. Ive recently switched to Millers CFS 5w40 after talking to Abbey, Horsham devlepopments etc and must say Im completely dumbfounded at how much nicer the car is to drive. Its quieter, and more importantly so much smoother. It does take a smidge longer to warm up, and slight drop in MPG, but these are all welcome trade offs for a car thats so much healthier to live with
  10. 1. Nso93 2. Olly350z + another + R33 skyline My buddy Darren would love to join us if thats allowed, lovely example. Please let me know
  11. Count me and two others in, was such a good show this year
  12. Not a great deal to talk about, having changed to the 5w40 Ive been doing namely alot of driving! It really has made a positive outcome, it just feels so much nicer to drive. I will say that although the Advan AD08rs are amazing in the dry, there have been some real twitchy bum moments in the wet. Get track Tyres they said! My buddy Louis sorted me out with more cleaning goodies Which Im really looking forward to a clear day to try out. As its been driven alot, I thought Id share some beading action, and to prove it does actually get dirty Did notice the other night while at the garage that my passenger side rocker cover is leaking oil down the back of the engine. Nissan have said its £24 which is cool, can anyone confirm if its a plenum off job to get to and replace the gasket? Cheers
  13. So it got serviced, washed and waxed yesterday Ive taken the step and changed to a slightly thicker oil, a 5w40 millers fully synthetic CFS as she is getting on for 83K now, and what a difference its made. Feels alot smoother to drive, can only think it wasnt getting on with the 5w30 anymore. Happy days!
  14. "Makes mental note to sit in the car the entire time to avoid any thefting of car parts" Wonder if they'll let me have my Carvery in the car?
  15. Welcome to the family! Please though, be careful with yourself, it's that rather dismal winter season and these can bite when you least expect it!
  16. @zippypooz cheers boss! Hopefully we'll be able to get them next to eachother at Martins Xmas meet
  17. Model: 2004 VQ35DE 81K Mods: K&N panel filter, Blox 1/2" spacer, Japspeed sports cats, Y pipe & K1 Exhaust on Shell Vpower Dyno: Dynapack (Abbey Motorsport) Really enjoyed myself at Abbey, Mark was welcoming as always and the difference is night and day. Input welcome
  18. Thats a real shame. Guess I'll have to look for a facelift bumper so I can have these then!
  19. So, while particularly bored on Sunday I thought Id make a list of every modifcation done so far. Was a little shocked by the end of it by just how much I'd done and spent Ive still got alot more planned but it goes a little like this Exterior Smooth N1 front bumper N1 sideskirts Chargespeed rear bumper LED Cannibus rear numberplate lights Smoothed boot 380rs spoiler 370z side indicators Carbon B pillars Rear 3 windows limo tinted Stubby ariel Facelift LED rear lights Depo rear lower lights Boltsbolts USDM conversion Factory HID Zenons 6K Nismo LMGT4S with yokohamas ADO8rs Resprayed in april 2017 WV2 paintcode Interior Ian doles boot devider Carbon door kickplates JVC double din touch screen including cabling and satnav Tan orange seats Tan orange gear gator Nismo Gearknob Metal dash vent trims Led interior lights Engine, Brakes & Suspension Meister R coilovers Stillen toe bolts Mtec drilled and grooved brakes, brembo padds HELL braided lines HELL braided clutch line Uprated clutch slave Upreved Japspeed high flow cats Japspeed Y pipe Japspeed catback K1 exhaust Blox 1/2 inch plenum spacer Lately Ive noticed that according to the oil pressure guage, I've got low pressure on idle. Its dead on 15psi. In my ownership its always had 5w30. From talking to Mark at Abbey motorsport and various other owners, Im going to switch to a slightly thicker oil. My minds made up on this, Ive read the fors and against, but I want to ask this So, with that said, should I go for a 5w40, or as Mark and others have said, 10w40?
  20. So Yesterday as some will remember from Martins grasshoper meet, we went and picked up my buddies new R33 Skyline! Which obviously meant a good excuse for me to have a cleaning session
  21. Thanks buddy! More to come yet though, the mind never stops thinking of mods What a view to come home too!
  22. Had to get the key retrimmed slightly as it wouldn't turn, but since it's worked a treat
  23. Id really like to know! You just dont see them come up for sale and I looked often! Thanks for the kind words though alot more left to do yet Thanks for the kind words bud, Im So happy with how they are! Ironically in my quest to colour code ive gota set that match the colour of the car perfectly
  24. Along with the wheels, I took a trip down to Abbey Motorsport and saw Mark for a session of UPREV remapping yesterday. Made to feel very welcome and Mark talked me through all that he was doing. She made a 15BHP and 11 torque gain which Im happy with, but moreimportantly how she drives now is just night and day different. The throttle response is immediate and so much smoother. Very pleased for sure
  25. Haha nothing wrong with a little bias! You know what they say about great minds think alike! I do like how far they sit recessed inside the wheels... @SHEZZA See I do like how they sit recessed inside the wheel. But that photo has made me think they definitely will be noticeable against my silver paint which Id like to avoid. @ZMANALEX could you shed some light on whether standard gt rays nuts fit or whats out there?
