  1. Thanks for organising Andy, first time back there in 10 years and forgot how much fun it is Nice to put faces to a few names
  2. Its coming along well. I've seen mixed views on oil cooler ports on the top / bottom (as you have them).
  3. Thought about it but I wanted plenty of room for a boot to hide the horrible plastic gate.
  4. GTR shifter with the hand made cherry blossom shift boot and the silver surround repainted in black crackle, all the cheap and nastiness gone 👌 pan widget
  5. Sorry I'm being dim. The email says "you should have received on a seperate email a QR code..." I haven't had a seperate email, and I can't see any QR code on either of the attached pdfs.
  6. It's crazy in this country how we have all normalised being ripped off with obscene levels of taxation.
  7. I've thought about throwing in a pair of aftermarket reclining buckets, but I like the standard seat, it has no clearance problem with tilting back, head rest isn't designed for use with a helmet not a head, has elec adjustment and heater. I'm not tracking the car, and it's a while since I got in 38 jeans 🤣 Like your idea of red bolsters black alacantra centre panel retrim and matching retrimmed kneepads. Can retrim door cards at the same time. You hit the nail on the head yes I'm trying to tie it all into the wheel.
  8. The standard auto shifter and the big round plasticky base is the ugliest piece of crap, I reckon the designer was wasted on saki when he drew it. It offends me. 🤣 I've been playing with an auto to manual knob adaptor, and some hand made bits from a small online shop in New Zealand. Not sure what I think. Looks like it's trying too hard to look like a manual maybe. Have ordered a GTR knob to try next. And thinking I should get my seats recovered in red leather... 🤔
  9. I haven't seen another email with a QR code, anyone else have one yet?
  10. If I'm spending £50k it wouldn't be on a '400z' its on a used GTR I'd give the bloke low £30k's for it.
  11. Getting my engines mixed up, although I'd still confirm it's overheating and then pressure test it. It might be as as simple as the cap. Although the bloke's not replied anyway.
  12. I'd say you've not got a rusted bracket you have some remains 🤣 If nothing has fallen off, nothing is rattling, the car drives straight and safe.... pull off what's left, throw it in the bin, and carry on driving.
  13. Those buggers look fit for the bin
  14. How long is a piece of string! Could be engine oil, pump.... could be rad, fans... could be rad cap... water pump, pulley / pump drive... could be many things. VQs run hot, has this suddenly started or slowly got worse? Have you recently done any mods or jobs when this started? And silly question but have you checked it is actually overheating and not faulty sender etc? You didn't say if your heater gets hot, when you filled the system and burping it. You want it on full, and if it's not getting hot you have an air problem. Thermostats you can check in a boiling saucepan and digital thermometer. Probably if it were me and based on what you've done so far (and assuming the engine has oil) I'd stick a temp probe on to confirm it's overheating and not a sender / gauge fault, and if so loosen the drive belt and give the water pump pulley a wiggle, then stick a pressure gauge inline to test water pump impeller.
