Thanks mate. I have no idea why I am doing what I am doing to be honest, pushing all the buttons to make sure this car lasts

I can cut holes for you if you like. I must warn though, I have zero experience

Decided to do some more before the track. Bought following: Motul multi ATF - 10 litres Transmission screen and gasket Nissan differential fluid - 2 litres Motul RBF 660 brake fluid - 3 litres Nissan green coolant - 10 litres K&N Long-life Air Filter EBC Yellowstuff brake pads Also.... drumroll.... NEW HEADLIGHT LENSES! I will do all these in two weeks time. In the meantime, please let me know if you think I am missing something It is just 20 minutes novice track session but whatever

I was thinking more like a meet where we can have something to eat and/or drink as well. I found two places in the middle of everyone Rainbow on the Lake The Bridge Inn Both in a very good location, reasonable drive for everyone, have food and drinks and looks like enough parking for us. I will visit both of them in advance and see if they are happy with us gathering there. I also want to see how busy they are during evenings to decide if I need to book or just turn up. Thinking Saturday evening, to make sure highest turnout, but we'll see

Good idea about Facebook, I’ll give that a try and see if it brings a few more people in when I have more details I’ve done a bit of digging, and it looks like the Salisbury area might be a good middle ground for most of the people I know so far. There seem to be a few decent places around there. I’m thinking it will probably be an evening meet, just because people are working during the day, so that might suit most people better. Probably just something simple like a pub or cafe meet to start with. Still open to any ideas though, so feel free to suggest anything.

Hi all, I have to admit, I got a little bit jealous of Midlandz! With some encouragement from Keith D and ShorPaul, I thought I’d test the waters for a southern Z meet. I’ve never organised anything like this before (unless you count a birthday party for my wife), so please bear with me Based on where people seem to be located, somewhere between Southampton and Taunton might be a good starting point. That said, it really depends on how far everyone is willing to travel, so I’m open to suggestions. I’m expecting numbers to be fairly low, maybe around 10 cars at most, but who knows! If it turns out to be more, I may need to look into things like public liability insurance. For a smaller group around 5–10 cars, I imagine a simple meet-up in a café or pub car park should be fine? I’m open to any ideas or feedback, so feel free to share your thoughts!

Oh... I may be down for that as well then! For the south meet... I will see what I can do. let me create a new post for this.

Such a shame... Well, if anyone from the south reading this, I am ready 😅

I’ve only booked Japfest Silverstone this year. Still thinking about Combe, had a great time last year, but without a 350z-uk stand I’m not sure. What I meant was, the Midlands seems to have quite a few 350z specific meets, but I haven’t really seen much down south. I see loads of 350s around Southampton area, so I’m sure the numbers are there, just needs someone to take the lead and get something going I guess

I'm so jealous I wish we could have something like this in the south.

I got some more work done, using this topic as a notepad Recently completed Spark plugs replaced - NGK Iridium IX Oil & filter changed (again…) Turns out the Nissan dealership did NOT replace the oil filter during last year’s major service. It was already in the bin before I realised I should’ve taken photos and reported it… Front lower ball joints replaced Right knuckle replaced (OEM) (don’t ask) Boot popper springs replaced (heavy duty) Boot struts replaced I am going to add some more stuff to done and will create a to-do list Things done so far Major service at Nissan - NEVER again New tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 5) Front bumper resprayed Headlights cleaned and restored - Needs doing again, looking to replace lens instead of cleaning this time. We'll see... Dashcam installed (Viofo A229 Plus, hardwired) Antenna replaced and base refinished - Chipping a little bit, what can I say, TEMU antenna Underbody may need rust proofing, will do it this summer Head unit is working when the car gets warm. I am guessing there is some kind of condensation in it, on the lens or sth. A-pillar finisher replaced Door seal replaced Rear wiper arm cover replaced New emblems bought – still not fitted OEM Spoiler installed Spark plugs replaced - NGK Iridium IX Oil and filter changed again Front lower ball joints replaced Right knuckle (OEM) replaced Boot popper springs replaced with heavy duty Boot struts replaced To-Do (not in order) Front lip Aluminium undertray Polybush kit Headlight lens replacement New antenna, preferably OEM Underbody rustproofing Fitting new emblems Rear strut is chipping a little bit, may replace it, may wrap it, idk probably replace at some point brake pads. Before 19th april brake kit? I am not sure about this one New rims. RPF1 preferred. When I have enough money to spare, maybe in 2-3 years lol Maybe, just MAYBE coilovers? want to keep her stock, but... let's say if I get RPF1s definitely, if not maybe. I need a clean auto knob. Older version. HKS Speed limiter defencer, must be done before 19th April

Working for me, try with incognito mode maybe?

I want to keep this car until the day I die, it’s basically my life mission now. I’ve started making a list of everything I need to take care of. I’ll be buying all the parts over the next few months and fitting/replacing them at a friend’s garage. I’m planning to change the gearbox oil as well. One question though, you mentioned that you used Motul S ATF, but I couldn’t find that product. There’s a Motul Multi ATF available, do you think that would work or should I do more research?

Can you share the link if you are still around? 😁

So fluid for life is not actually fluid for life? I am really lost. I just want to keep my car in the best condition and can't decide if I need to change or not. I don't feel anything wrong with the car, but wouldn't mind paying a couple hundred if it is going to save me from a couple thousand in the future
