No tax no mot and no insurance:(

 

Ah, assumed you had insurance. But you can drive a sorn to a pre-arranged mot.

Yep I know:)

Had a go at making a little show plate today.. Using some old perspex and some unusual techniques, I ended up with a half decent looking plate. A little rough around the edges of the lettering as the masking tape was turd and the perspex isn't scratch free unfortunately but at least I've got a little plate with my forum ID on now ready for japfest.

Managed to get the Nissan to come out pretty well

 

Still awaiting a wet n dry rub back for some laquer, but will leave this coat dry overnight :)

Test fitted to the car.. Looks OK I think..

 

Hey Ev, I'm just about to do that to mine too.. Was it much of a pain in the @#s?

 

Oh and whilst I remember, I've got space for a couple of people if they want to camp at Silverstone Saturday night..

If you're interested, give me a shout..

 

I'll repost this on the Japfest thread too..

You'll just need your sleeping bags.. Light and heat supplied..

Your ID plate looks ace!

And not at all, be patient, then I used a super thing blade and took the top layer off the letters and used cotton bud and some white spirit and lightly brushed it off and it came up brilliantly!

Anything hiding a standard reg plate is a good thing in my opinion, although personally I think it would look better with the backing/background in black.

Ok so I couldn't wait till the morning to finish up. Here is the end product

After Rubbig back with wet n dry and then clear coating.

 

It was from this

 

Personally think the final product doesn't look as 'fake plastic' so I'm happy. What's your opinions?

Looks cracking mate.. Looking forward to getting mine off and cracking on with it..

 

Joely, I had thought about black but decided I was going to outline it in black. I put the masking tape all round the outline before realising that the black in the can I had was blocked solid.. Given the time I had to do it, I just went with what was on hand.. I have a lot of red and gold things around lol..

Fairly pleased with it though..

Im gonna work on a better one when I get the time and also get one for the rear done aswell..

It'll do for now though..

You'd laugh if you knew how I masked out the lettering! A spot of genius and madness all mixed together.. :dance:

Are you changing the engine parts to your polished stuff or are you getting rid of all your polished engine parts:scared: after all the work you put into them!! Have I read that right??

Dibs if you are :innocent::laugh:

ill pm you

Update: Installed the HKS ALC and it's certainly worth the few pennies I spent! The car shifts very quick and precise in the upper rpm range without being to harsh. In my normal driving situation it was fine as if it wasn't there. I only tested it about an hour but it was fine. It should make those spirited sprints on a windy road or quick pass a lil bit nicer!

 

I recommend the ALC at this point and we'll see if I feel this way in 6 months if I need a tranny...

Finished the plenum off and did some spraying side skirts rear spoiler bonnet doors front bumper im knackered now, lacqure tomorrow

Looks like you've done a great job there ted. What did you use to polish it?

Looks like the dogs *****cks !

Cutting and polish past on 2 types of polishing wheel and 2 that go on the drill thought I'd finished but forgot about the throttle cover and balance bar

Changed the rear wiper seal. Old one looked fine but slightly shrunken. You can see where the water has been pooling from this pic.

 

 

No obvious signs anywhere else though to suggest where it's coming from. Spoiler bolts and the wiper arm bit look fine.

Drove the 300zx to work and then home with the roof of for the first time this year. Quick wash and back in the garage ready for another day.

 

Went picking up my mates Supra up after its been off the road for six months... Couldn't resist a couple of cheeky snaps with the Z;)

He is indeed... Was a great drive back with the targas off too! Nice blast on the motorway ;)

 

All set for Japfest now, we are convoying down very early!!

Had the top of myself today:)

I think you've just solved my water leak Dutch.. Every now and then when I open the boot, I get water running out from under the plastic trim right where that wiper motor is..

I'm thinking this is my problem too..

Where did you get the wiper seal from?
