That's not the first time I've read that sentiment tbh, but for me a 2 month stint under cover was worth it.

I recently did exactly the same whilst my garage was being extended. 😁

I chose a stormforce outdoor cover with the locking kit. Shame mine was for a 350z otherwise could have done a deal. Mines going up for sale now I'm done with the garage and will be replacing it with a basic indoor cover in case I need to do any dusty woodwork inside.

I really rate the stormforce but it was pricey IMO. Only thing to bear in mind - it fits snuggly so if you have aftermarket spoilers it may not fit.

Hi from Chelmsford too!

If you head over here, refurbished Brembos are very cheap, I've used them in the past. They come black: https://brakeparts.co.uk/

Are they genuine OEM parts? Says 'Budweg' but picture shows 'Brembo'.

Edit: just saw image for identification only. So I guess they're copies.

Edit again: Budweg website says they're remanufactured.

Interesting. Did you have to do a noise test? If so what did it read?

No, I think I read that they measure the driveby noise rather than doing a static test.

As Ekona says though, Miltek sounds almost like stock so I think you will have zero problems.

Have a Miltek also and drove round Silverstone the other weekend with no bother.

It's a really quiet system.

Yeah, thanks for everyone organising the event and convoys.

Also big thanks again to whoever let me use their tape for my track time session. You were on the stand opposite the club but maybe you're online here.

Hope the chap in the orange 350z got on well with his first track session leading the pack. I was in the black zed next to you in the pits.

Pretty sure that doesn't matter. 

I was interested to attend but Bluewater is about an hour from me, and I'm getting to an age where standing in a car park on a Friday night doesn't appeal. Gotta get kids to bed, eat dinner etc. 😄

I'm probably more up for a coffee morning a few times a year now.

Where do we get the visible club stand tags?

I only have the E tickets through Eventbrite..

They get sent out a few days before the event.

Sad times. Remember seeing your Z at my first mini meet and was pretty envious of the chargespeed rear bumper. The gran coupe is a good shout though, I recently got a 430i GC as the family car.

I had the same issue with that brace and my Miltek exhaust. Spacers solved it for me for the last couple years, but I also bought one of these: 

It was pretty cheap, so my plan was to cut the mounting points off and use them as spacer plates for my ultraracing brace. I'll probably try it out before I cut it though to see what it's like.

I want to be part of the Nissan 350z stand at japfest 10th April 2022. I have followed the instructions and put the code in when I bought the tickets.

is that all what I have to do??

also who sends out the passes silverstone or the club. Many thanks 

Japfest organisers will send out the passes via Eventbrite a few days before the event.

Is yours the ATB helical Quaife? 

Yep

I've found it's been getting cheaper too. For the last few years my renewal quotes have been so good that I haven't been bothered to mess around getting other quotes.

+1 for Quaife. Mines virtually silent.

Depending on what exhaust you have you may not hear any aftermarket diff anyway.

Done, added Monkey1983.

When I bought my 350z I did all fluids including differential as well as new belts.

It'll be a timing chain, not belt I believe.

Think you have to sand the dimples flat before dipping to get rid of them.

I read this yesterday, and went through the comments. Quite a lot of negative POV out there about the poor zed unfortunately.

Add me please. I had the same issue and had to add some spacers but this looks a better solution.
