Indeed as I said I put a comma in  there. SOME BUGGER STOLE IT. I know it. Thats the story and sticking to it.

On this forum how do you report the mallicious theft of a comma ? 

Attack ! The best form of defence.

That would explain the bonnet then, but bumper to wings looks off as well? 

Nope the match there is fine, even the tailgate matches AND ITS PAINT ! As I discovered while removing PO's dreadful swirley graphics. As said dirty and not good pics

Didn’t mean literal

polishing, more like it needs a good tidy up 👍 I’m guessing the wrap matches better in person than the pics?

I fully admit car does not photograph well at all, the blackness screws with the cameras auto exposure. Had to adjust exposure in post quite a bit.   I KNOW !  HAND HELD LIGHT METER ON INCIDENT, MANUAL EXPOSURE ON CAMERA. Car does not look quite so bad in reality. (Gets a lot of looks / light flashes). being a bit dirty did no favours in pics either. The mismatch on bonnet ? This is wrapped fake carbon fiber.. I certanly would not have done this on what is actually an aluminium one.

Cant recommend one specifically but you need to look for one that supports JOBD (Japanese OBD) rather than OBD2 as its a different protocol on the JDM cars...

Funny I got a £15 OBDII reader off ebay.   Works fine on my Fairlady

Not a problem. She is a bit grubby today in pics. washed two days ago minging agan.

Its matt black wrap. polishing will do nothing. BTW Not your eyes it does go down a bit. Inflated since pics.

As promised pics of me newly aquired Datsun 350 ZED 05 Track package WARNING pictures not suitable for persons under 18 or of a nervous disposition. Contains intimate pictures of festering mudguards. And the remains of PO's HORRID carbon Fablon graphics on rear quarters. Thing is, I do not really hate them on there, I can live with a while THEY ARE COMING OFF THO. They are nowhere near as awfull as he had done on guards, doors and tailgate those are gone.  AND Carbon fibre wrap on an aluminum bonnet REALLY ?

Was over in Comber today Da Murphs home town. Arseing about wasting petrol as its so cheap. A wee fella on the footpath gave me the Bat signal to light her up. Dropped to second and did. Question has to be asked. Who was the (63 year old) child here ?

The dipstick on a 350Z was designed by a dipstick .... fact, blatantly stolen from Husky

The 350 ZED dipstick is first page in the book LEARN TO SWEAR IN JAPANESE. Who the feck decided to bury the tiny hole way down in there ?  Not to mention a stupid wobbley hard to read dipstick. Never heard of a guide tube ? Soooooo easy to have done that

Ahh Just wait ! You too will end up saying. What the hell happend there ?  Mark my words.

OH right ! Bit slow on uptake. 😊 Old !

Do not doubt OE will fit far better. Truck technician but NO STRANGER TO EXTENSIVE CAR BODYWORK. I need guards too but after market will have to do.

Need both guards myself OE is out of the question as SKINT on disability. My Datsun 350 ZED is new to me I plan on fitting new guards over the winter. Servicable for time being and not dreadfully ugly. I hunted the bay of evil found a pair at £69 each. Unfortunatly seller could not get his courier to deliver to Northern Ireland. SO ON THE HUNT AGAIN found another seller with only one side. Hunted the net euro car parts had only the other side. So bought that delivered to Belfast depot. The other I am waiting on from the evilbay seller, The Ebay one just under £100 delivered the other on came in at just over £100. About £202_ £203 the pair.That I can live with. Will buy a tin of Galvafroid for the insides. I decided to buy now rather than in winter in case these take a price hike. Known to happen.

Another Gt6 nut ? I have a wrecked back the last lot of years. Getting in and out of a GT6 these days NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. Crawl in. Roll out onto street. The Datsun 350 ZED,  I can get in relatively okay, getting out not just quite as pretty but I can do it.  At 6 ft 5 and 63 YO not a help specialy on a GT6 with cage and race Kirkey seats..
