No worries. If anyone else has tickets let me know please 🥺

Hello Harry sent you a PM. If Steve1 doesn't grab these then I'd be interested. I assume I could skip the track slot as I don't have insurance cover for that.

I bought mine from KYB and as always their quality is really good. I bought mine from AutoDoc and they are based in Germany and have always a sale on like euro carparts back in the day. They stock Billsteins as well. (Prices are cheaper in the app and If you would like a referral code we both get £10 off use code AC65257928). Hope mods don't mind the code😉

I wish I did. Always fancied a R32 but alas out of reach now. A few years ago was offered one for 7k 😔

Welcome. I often look back when a walk away from mine. Looks lovely

Been doing a few jobs to this in the past few days. First up was to delete the rear wiper, the wiper was not adjusted properly and went clear past the body. I bought a cheap wiper cap. A tad cleaner with the body lines. Then removed the 1kg weight in the boot lid Bought new kidney brackets and hardware and got rid of the slash shield which was an advisory on the last MOT. Brackets were solid still but I wanted to underseal where the brackets and W brace attach to the chassis. Used Rustins rust remover then treated the areas with rust converter then washed and undersealed the areas under the arch lip, tubs and mounting points Much nicer now (I used axle stands and only used scissor jacks as a back up in case you spot that)

Saw this thread but not sure what part he is referring to.

I've replaced my rear shocks and top mounts for KYB shocks. I must say no issues with bumps but the car is stiffer. I haven't driven other Zeds but I think it's just how they are. I would say swap out the springs

Unfortunately I'm working that weekend but will aim for meet where I can see all your hard work. Nice skills BTW, I wish I could tackle such work.

Coming along nicely. On course for it to be completed pre April ready for summer. Bet you can't wait

I've sourced the OEM car mats. But need the other items still. @ZMANALEX

https://youtu.be/CF2y6nxRozQ?feature=shared Apparently it was the cheapest 350z in UK, not anymore.

Sorry but I'm all new to all this tuning talk. My 2005 DE is stock apart from a K&N filter. Whats the cost? I haven't got a plenum spacer just yet is it worth tuning before hand?

Great shots. The car looks amazing, Well done. Wish I could have a car as clean as that.

I think my fluid was old and boiling point lower. The one in the kit is better quality fluid, I think that combined with braided hose makes the pedal seem more engaging. I used a flare wrench on the clutch line as you don't want to round the nut. Reuse the heat wrap as the exhaust is close by. This video helped alot.

Just done this on my drive. I bought the aftermarket set from Horsham Development https://h-dev.co.uk/product/350z-de-clutch-slave-cylinder-braided-clutch-line-and-high-temp-brakeclutch-fluid-kit/ Very simple job just make sure you prime the slave cylinder with fluid and gravity bleed it for a while prior to bleeding.

Hi guys and girls, Do hope everyone is well. I have a list of wants hopefully someone can help me with one, some or all of the following. 1. Velocity Stack for '05 airbox (anyone got a old flyboy kit knocking around or a 06/07 airbox) 2. Drivers OSF headlight washer cover and clip in KH3 black or any other colour. 3. 350z OEM car mats in decent nick, currently got half orange ones. 4. Idler pulley spacer 13298-4P10A.

Finally managed to get the rear shocks replaced, I require a soft ride as I don't gel with lowered cars in London. Swapped originals with KYB Excel G. Bought from Autodoc which runs 41% off deals. Parts for what I've changed, the fitting kit was worth it as the originals are squashed.

Vroom811 has one for sale on this forum and it's been well documented on YouTube. Well worth it for all it's had done to it.

I envy your organisation. My cleaning items are scattered in the boot of my Toyota previa I dare not show a picture.

Just keeping up with tradition of it failing for silly items😉. I was so busy trying to get it MOT'd guess I skipped a few things. Loving the torque of the VQ it's lovely. I plan to do the rear suspension very soon, but will keep stock set up with KYB Excel G the ride is firm so won't want anything harsher. KYB seem to build decent replacements and will refresh the top mounts at the same time.

Passed, a misting of oil on one rear shock and corrosion on rear cover for the fuel tank. I will rectify both shortly. Boy does the car sound good. 😁

Lots of small jobs, smoke has disappeared, the PCV system needs checking but I don't have a 23mm socket for the PCV valve to clean it or check if it's working. I've ordered a catch can to help with oil separation. Did a oil change and located it had a magnet sump plug so someone cared for it. Then turned to the radiator cap which was a generic one. Replacement was for eBay so hopefully it's not a fake one. Got another paint pen for the curbing of the wheels, paint from eBay for Nissan Gunmetal gray was a perfect match. Has helped cover the rash. Before After Booked it into a MOT station so fingers crossed.

So had a hour or two with the car. I've left the oil change and plenum clean for another day. Paint on the car is good underneath all the grime. The rear two quarters paint seems different or less solid and the tree sap and bird poo has etched itself. Otherwise the paint is coming along nicely with plain old T-Cut and drill pad. Found this old DVD player behind the passenger seat. With a TV unit behind the centre panel. I assume this round plug is the base of a gopro unit so it's been on a few track days I'm sure. The interior looks like it's in good nick, the driver's seat is a tad worn on the bolster but otherwise in decent condition. The trim looks good. I bought a Anthracite paint pen to cover some of the kurb rash, but it's come out blue so must be issue with paint or they are gunmetal or something. Last thing is I need the trim colour for the drivers side headlight jet the unit looks intact so just the cover in black is needed. If anyone has one or knows of a black car breaking, please let me know.

That dipstick is the worse.....So the oil level check on a cold engine and level surface, this is pre oil change. It's above the H, I assume it should be where the mesh etching ends. Thanks @davey_83 for the suggestion I think it might have a tad too much oil.
