350z NoobFace London

Anyone else here yet? Parked at Plaza (yellow) car park, middle floor row N. Grabbing a bite to eat while I wait.

@350z NoobFace LondonBeen sending it around Insta. Will see if people bite. Did you get that roof wrap done then? 

Unfortunately things have been manic... The weather hasn't been much better either. The vinyl has been sitting under my stairs since mid-June. 😔

@ballistic You absolute legend! Loving the poster. Will be sharing.

Friday is easier for me but I'm happy to change to Second Saturday of the month if it's easier for everyone else. 

I'm new to meets so I'm only going by the experience of last month at Yellow Car Park but the security seemed very chill. It was only after a kid was proper revving and backfiring his car before security came and had a chat. Even then, they left without moving them on.

I also think multi-storey car park is a good idea as it's shielded from the weather so it'll be decent for all times of the year.

Whos down for another one: 10/07/21 7:30pm Yellow (Plaza) Car Park 

 

@350z noobface?

@Loadmaster?

@JinShim?

 

@GranTurismoEra, fancy making the trip down?

Literally just logged on so I could make that exact post. Yep I'm still game. Just making sure though, you mean Friday 9/07/21 as 10th is the Saturday.

EDIT: Also @GranTurismoEra, I know it's a bit of a trek but it would be cool to to come down at some point and continue our conversation that we were having before had to leave the Ace Cafe in June.

Wish I hadn't seen this, have to look after parents dog Friday otherwise I'd have been joining you...

Fingers crossed next month

Shame buddy. Yeah definitely fingers crossed for next month. I'll update here on what I find for this month. Also like Ballistic said, if it's a no-go we could even be the guys to try to resurrect it.

Im gonna try join you. Hopefully its still going on, if not we can resurrect it 

Awesome, just to confirm I am still going. Hopefully see you in a few hours mate. 

Hey Gary, great to meet you at Ace Cafe last week. Cheers for telling it to me straight and making me realise I was obsessing a bit much on my paintwork. 

As well done and professionally taken these photos are, I'm sure your guys are all aware, pictures don't do anything full justice. This car really is a sight to behold in the flesh. I'll be going to more meets this year so hope to see you again soon mate.

Does this meet still happen? 

Don't know but seeing as I'm only around half 20 minutes away I'm going to check it out anyway.

As quoted above: "Middle floor, Plaza car park (yellow) from 7:30", I'll be there this Friday (11th June) and if no one turns up by half 8 then I'll hit the food court and turn back. Hot food in my belly is worth it enough for the trip, hahaha.

Yeah definitely a great day. My first car meet. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome.

Thanks a lot for the warm welcomes everyone, can't wait to get stuck in. 

Well presented video there. 

Is the plenum spacer something that would also benefit the HR? If so is the installation the same?

Hi guys I'm Richard and I thought I'd finally Introduce myself after becoming a (not so) proud owner of a blue '04 350Z back in 2018, only to find out that it needed £2.5K to take it out of limp mode that occurred 3 months in. The mechanics recommended against the repairs as the chassis was completely rusted through and determined a potential cut and shut. Ultimately sold for parts. I was a first time car buyer and probably made every rookie mistake in the book. 

Having done my due diligence, I am now a (very) proud owner of a bone stock Carbon Silver '58 HR 350Z with nothing more than a stiff bonnet, worn out boot struts and a stiffer than usual clutch pedal. 

Already done a clutch assist spring delete and put on a new gear knob, got a new spoiler painted ready to be professionally fitted next week with a front lip that I'll fit myself. Looking at a set of new wheels and an Invidia N1 exhaust and toying with the idea of a carbon fibre bonnet with the top wrapped black and back windscreen tinted. 

Can't wait for COVID to be over so I can look forward to getting out to events and meets now that my Zed Journey can truly begin.
