Night on vodka Redbull???

What swirls?? LOL Paul @ Source is a top bloke and really eased me into all this ICE malarky. The Hertz is awesome to listen too and even though we have put rear speakers in (It's a show car) it does sound amazing. Tips on keeping the car in true show winning condition. Don't drive it!!!! No seriously, I think getting the car to a high degree of cleanliness from the beginning means it becomes far easier to clean when it gets dirty. As the dirt is just surface and superficial not old and ingrained. (Make sense??) For shows it different for me, if it's a big one like this weekend I take a support car and have all my cleaning stuff in there. It rained on my way down on Friday. No problem, I jacked the car up, removed all wheels, cleaned all wheels, cleaned all arches, cleaned under rear of car, cleaned underneath of engine and then started on the polishing etc. For a normal show I'd wash and dry with an Autoglm chamios, I find that the paint is a little soft on mine (And on many other zed's) so a waffle weave may be a bit too tough for it. If the car just gets a little dusty say in summer I'd refrain from washing it?? Maybe just do the wheels. The moer you wash and dry the moer chance you have of damaging the paint work. If it's just summer dust then maybe clean it every 2 weeks instead of everyweek?? That's what i do anyway Bu**er have I just given away my trade secrets there Just pulling ya leg mate! Do you drive them much inbetween shows? It is a good point about not cleaning it too much, and hadn't thought about the waffle weave vs. chamois. I've got both and have more recently been using the AG. I guess it's the jacking it up that is the step I don't take too often! Have you had the results from the show yet?

Did you get any pics mate?

Night blue is probably my favourite Zed colour..... Good luck with sorting one out! And I agree, Autotrader has been a waste of money anytime I've tried selling a car. Pistonheads and eBay seem to get the word out best!

Welcome to the club

It's a sports car, use it to put the smile on your face! Enjoy!

Nice result! Are you copying in the links you are following to each post??

Great result, especially for a first time effort!

Welcome to the club - just check every square inch for damage or scuffs including the wheels, and you'll be fine. Drive it to a detailer to get all the scratches and swirls out of it and protect it for you, then you're away!

All down to personal preference bud. I like the Z logos rather than the Nissan badges, but have no aversion to stickers on a car. Try what you want, they're only stickers...

A fair few have got the protective film on and swear by it. I think M13KYF has it on his....

Welcome to the club

Looks great and good to hear of good service. As long as it continues for all buyers, I'm sure they'll do well! Enjoy it!

Truly impressive Craig! (apart from those swirls on the NSR quarter panel, looks like you need a detailer ) Seriously, that is a great result from what is clearly a lot of effort, and you've built something that the whole 350Z community can be proud of. I hope you get the success you've had in the past with it in the shows. Good choice with Source sounds on the ICE too. I competed against them for a few years and they build some impressive cars both install and sound wise. Hertz equipment sounds good too. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Can you give us some idea of the routine you go through getting it to / from the shows and keeping it in true show winning condition / state?

I'm not normally into off roading but I do fancy a go in one of those!

Welcome to the club I've just been quoted £180 at KJM Reading supplying my own oil (which I'd rather do) for a P1, which is an improvement from last year!

Brings tear's to my eyes this event Fully understand that mate. Coming back to face the demons this year??

I agree. We'd be complaining if it looked like other 2 seater coupes out there so I'm happy it looks different and retains some of the lines that made previous Zeds classics.

PM replied Pete, be great to have you along. As for the track, it's fairly straightforward and you can take things very much at your own pace. Plenty of time to decide though.

Nice work bud. Good to see things keep going well for you!

Bump - this is a great event, plenty of traders and track action too. Lets get as many Zeds there as possible!

Looks like a great fit!

Memories!

Looking good that

The avatar is from JTS last year. And not him! It's a good event, get along to it if you can
