shire350Z Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Well I seem to have spent a lifetime away from the forum, most regular users now will probably not even know who I am! But as we get closer and closer to wales my enthusiasm comes back for the zed in bucket loads!!! I hate to say it but my zed has been neglected over the last 6months living outside hardly washed and not polished/waxed for months & months and my engine bay.... O dear looks a real sorry sight so here comes the hard work for the next few days to try and get her to resemble something of her former glory, iv left it a little to late really to do all the bits I really need to, just had a MOT and passed with flying colours even at 9years old in for a service next week and a few new bits to put on have arrived ... some carbon bonnet dampers as mine were way past there best and some new carbon wrapping! Really needed to have my wheels refurbed to before Wales but that won't be happening now, not sure wether to have them done as they rolled out the factory or go for something a little different Dare I put some pictures up of her now..... You guys won't like what you see 1 Quote
Keyser Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 No sorry, never heard of you best put a thread up introducing yourself Come on your engine bay has legendary status and you've got 2 weeks we expect great things Quote
Wasso Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Nice to see you for your six monthly drop by. See ya then (Actually we'll see you in two weeks) But then back to six monthly disappearing acts. You make me laugh, that's not dirty, wait till you see mine later today. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome back, James, we seem to always meet at the NEC at a show... Quote
Humpy Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome back once again though you were on chat about a week ago.... I thought my eyes deceived that night Your car looks freaking amazing, body and engine bay wise. See you in Wales Quote
bronzee Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 James by most people's standards that's probably clean, but we know you. Looking forward to seeing the after clean. Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) He's bluffing, it'll be fine Yeah the usual "look at the state of this" and the tah daaa At least when I say mine is a state I can live up to my claims Edited May 8, 2013 by spursmaddave Quote
AK350Z Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Hello James, I'm sure a bit of spit-n-polish will bring that up grand! Hope you're getting plenty of bike time in while you're away from the forum. Quote
shire350Z Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 Been off that to Andrew with a prolapsed disc in my back!!!!! Must admit when the car is clean brings back a massive smile, this is just after clay barring on with the glaze, polish and wax now! My exhaust hasnt been cleaned either for around 9months yet with 10 minutes spent it just comes up looking like brand new just shows the quality of the DC sports system 1 Quote
shire350Z Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 not look like that after following you in a few days time Quote

BulletMagnet Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 +1 All a big con, never that dirty in the first place! The car was prolly clean all the time and James just drove through some filthy puddles, let it dry a couple of days and took pics to make us feel better, lol Quote
shire350Z Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 Always the same just before Wales, problems! Service went well but left bank rocker cover gasket needs replacing and rear diff bushes so hoping to get these done and a new reversing camera before Wales Quote

And Nissan don't know what the problem is with the brakes! Quote
shire350Z Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 So what's the plan now Dave? Mine was going to fail with the wheel bearing but they did it for me the next day so all was good Quote
