Is the twin turbo part of the lettering slightly larger than the nissan fairlady Z part on the left? I imagined that nissan wouldve made both sides the same size? I think that is right Paul even the" Nissan " "Fairlady" is different sizes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja93 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Mine got splattered in the usual Brighton and Hove seagull sh*t so I gave her a good wash yesterday and applied another coat of wax. All external mouldings retreated as they started to get a bit dry. Afterwards when the weather made its mind up about not raining, I went out for a motorway blast to run in the new clutch and flywheel. The clutch is getting better by the journey. Done about 200 miles now since install last Monday. A few pics of her all cleaned up... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that it would be a good move because a lot of people dont order from the usa because of the shipping and duty costs.. Businesses get a different rate if its goods to sell, so they may look in to it.. Also remember its also all Zs they cover plus infiniti models.. theres plenty of those around the uk and Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemesizX Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Sat around bored so decided to do a little job on the Z. Been meaning to change the badging, so went for it today. When i removed the metal Fairlady Z badges from the perspex strip, there was a ton of foamy sticky crud under it which peeled off the badges. So bust out the autoglym tar and varnish remover with a fair amount of worry as to wether it would damage the perspex. I used something similar on the old rear lights and it crazed everywhere spreading the classic creeping cracks! Anyhow, glad to report that this stuff didnt damage it and it worked a treat! Topped off with some autoglym glass polish to remove the mild bleaching effect of the sun and it came up perfect again and ready for the oem logo to be fitted. Applied the new oem decal and looks much cleaner now. So happy days! The next job for the girls backside is gonna take a while, but im sure it'll meet the approval of a fair few on here.. All will be revealed when its done 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re such a great company as they supply pretty much everything you would ever need. There’s also the Nissan S body and skyline guys who take Z32 bits like Maf’s and brakes to add to the customer base. Obviously it’s not as high demand as the USA for the Z32 specifically, but yeah as you say there’s a lot of the other Zed models around - tonnes of 350’s and 370’s in my area.

If all is worked out and its a viable business, then I'll change my job from underpaid and under appreciated truck driver to playing with Z parts all day.. Happy as a ? in ? with that result.
