I will have a long drive to the premier travel inn so the car will be dirty when I get there. Cant do much about it really. There will be plent of +1s so no problem there. We are meeting at 7 am at the premier inn and many of the guys there are regulars so we will convoy in with them and get set up on the stand.

Hi and welcome Ben.

Well, It just gets better!!! Our friendly butcher - John Sargeant:- Has kindly offered to put us together individual breakfast packs to chuck strait on the 6ft/12ft BBQ in the morning!!!! How cool is that??!!! So in a individual sealed pack for example you could have:- Bacon x1 Sausage x1 Egg x1 Black Pudding x1 Big Mushroom x1 Fresh Tomato x1 Or even better:- Bacon x2 Sausage x2 Egg x2 Black Pudding x2 Big Mushroom x2 Fresh Tomato x2 No need to worry about buying a pack of this or a pack of that and splitting the cost blah blah blah just have one or two of these and you are sorted for breakfast! He can do the whole things as he has a deli next door you see! What a top bloke!!! The connoisseurs amongst you will be noting the absence of fried slice, baked beans and possibly hash browns - well lets hear who can help out on this one!! Anyone got a big pan they can bring for beans?! Any one got a big kettle? Can't have a Full English without a cuppa! BTW the BBQ has a solid cooking plate to do frying on! Any comments, questions or suggestions? Post up what you would like in a pack and I will get him to make them up ready for when we cruise down on Friday and Saturday. Just to get an idea of numbers I'll start a list of who wants a breakfast pack

How much to pay for alloy refurb?DIY kits any good
martinmac replied to M9O OEY's topic in 350Z General
What sort of alloys are they, refurbs are often about £40 to £50. depending on the damage. -
Time to make a few calls I think
-
No, I am at work, missing it and have google. I will still be at work and looking forward to pics from what promises to be a great day. If ChrisS s car is anything to go by you all better get polishing.

Dont forget the +1.
-
Its never an easy call and many insurance companies havent a clue about mods. When I called Chris Knott I was talking to a lady and made the stupid assumption that she would have to be walked through the mods. She lost me after about two minutes. Try a few of the companies that specialise in modded cars and see what the loading is.
-
Its pretty straightforward really. If you tell them they may and probably will load your premium. If you dont and the worst case scenario happens they may well refuse to pay up. Find a company that understands what the mods are on these cars and you will be fine. A certain well know main stream insurance company wanted to load my insurance by over 1k for my mods. I pay less than 40% of that declared.

Have a great day guys, but why wouldnt you, the forecast is great.

A newbie with some questions!
martinmac replied to shad0wca7's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Hi and welcome to the forum. I had to replace my clutch at about 30k but thats down to me. There arent any issues normally. The brake discs are pretty good and tend to last well. The engines dont really burn any more oil than you would expect. No problems there either. If you have a link to the car feel free to post it, with 5 previous owners its likely to have been on here at sometime. -

Hopefully she has a ticket. Hi Michelle and welcome. Glad to see you finally found us. -
Z club will be posting them out to you, normally about a week before the event.

Many happy returns buddy.
-
Hi Steve, you are in a great place ^^^ to get the mods done too.
-
It doesnt sound like the clicky one. Normally you can hear the clicky best when you slowly reverse.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Without further details I would say your budget is fine. There is a post in the FAQ section about FI setups. Also check out the sticky for new members in there for some buying hints. -
Z010 Mini Cruise for Meat & Booze (Billing's Best Butcher!!) Hi Peeps, For those of you who:- Like proper meat from a butcher instead of supermarket crap Don't fancy transporting and storing meat for a 3 day event Don't fancy transporting your required 7 gallons of booze in your car Always tend to forget one essential item when camping Fancy driving your pride & joy on a mini inter club cruise (6 mile round trip) Always run out of ice when you really need it We have a solution!! On Saturday at mid day we are arranging a mini cruise to Weston Favell Shopping Centre (NN3 8JZ) where there is the following:- Sargeants of Northampton Family Butchers and Delicatessen (amazing little place!) A 24 Hr Tesco Super Store (cheap booze and lots of ice!) Wilkinsons (you know you will need something from there lol!) Greggs Bakers, Banks, Chemist etc,etc,etc. Oh yes, and a very accoustic under cover car park! The owner of Sargeants - John (Yes, that's right his name is John Sargeant!), has agreed to give us a 20% Discount over the 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun) on anything we buy from the butchers (just say you are with the Z010 event). I popped in to see him today and i can honestly say he is one of the best butchers I have come across, not only because of his shop but he is a genuine nice and helpful chap. He has free range meat and poultry sourced locally, home made burgers and sausages of various types, eggs, dry cured bacon, fruit and veg etc. http://1.2.3.12/bmi/i475.photobucket.co ... 010432.jpg http://1.2.3.10/bmi/i475.photobucket.co ... 010435.jpg Anyone wishing to partake, please park up in a line down the centre of the site (I'll head this up about 11.30). If you have a shot gun seat available then please leave your passenger door open. Any one who wants to go shot gun look for open doors!! There will be filming and photos being taken so make sure it's clean!! Total trip should be no more than an hour so we will be back in time to get on the 6 ft Gas BBQ (see other thread) - http://www.300zx-club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7445 What do you all think?

great wipers +1, they are great.

I would highly recommend car and bike magic in Sunderland. They have done a lot of work on my car including repairs after a fight with a cossie and are great. They also do the work for the local Nissan dealers and their colour matching is spot on.
