F1 without Charlie Whiting definitely wont be the same, such a shame, and so sudden for his family and friends. RIP.

haha Jim, cheeky monkey, still need to get the purple one booked in so i can get that sorted and decide what to do with it.... i can pick up the other engine then as well, get it out of your way ;) Richard, if you want to come and try it out on the green zed, you are more than welcome, as it really does need a respray and has lacquer peel, so you cant do any more damage to it.

we just need the password to be able to order tickets for the relevant club. i see there are clubs registered for 350z-uk and also zclub/nissansportz so i am not sure which of these we are joining either?

Didn't manage to finish this job that particular weekend as ran out time and light, then a couple of days after that my back was done in and have been suffering since. :( Not sure if it was the crawling in the footwell or moving the seat into the garage, but obviously done something wrong there that my back didn't like. (doesn't like manual work i reckon... :lol:) So have not been able to get in there and pull the relays to test them, or to glue up the drain tube either, so i can't take up your offer of replacement relays until i am better, and then have to make sure i don't do myself in again trying to put it all back together again... :rolleyes:

best wishes Andy. never seen those space savers before

best wishes Andrew

they do not reserve parking for anyone, so although i have discussed about us attending, i haven't formally booked us for anything. I did initially ask about holding the AGM there in the evening or having a club meet there, but it wasn't practical when they could not guarantee any parking. So as i thought it might only be a handful of us that would actually be at the hotel early enough to go, i wasn't going to book anything, just turn up.... Depends how many sign up for the idea, i will let them know if it starts to turn into a big number ;)

There is a plan for a club visit to Caffeine & Machine on Saturday afternoon which is less than 30 minute drive from the hotel. So if you want to join us we plan to meet at the hotel from 11am and leave by midday, returning by 4pm latest to enable check-in, freshen up etc before dinner and AGM. Hopefully Simon will update the first post and add this to the itinerary as well :)

Have received the entry form for the event this year. Always a nice turnout of interesting cars, supporting a good cause raising money for a local hospice. https://stnicholashospice.org.uk/fundraising-events/classic-and-sports-cars-by-the-lake/

There isn't really a closing date. Hopefully if we use up the room allocation, they will have enough spare to allocate some more to us. There is a cancellation policy, which i think is a week before the event.

going out to the UAE is a long way for a couple of relays though Russ? ;) UAE?

thanks Andrew and Joel. will let you know when i get them out and test them.

my thoughts exactly! was just checking with a local nissan dealer as well, just in case. £40.04 + vat with my local dealer, 3-4 days lead time. so probably worth a call to Mike Feeney in that case. will wait until i have checked mine out first though.

thanks Joel. nissan4u.com thats the other one i was trying to remember, was trawling my bookmarks. i knew there was another one and couldn't recall, thanks. thought it might be worth getting them anyway before i put it all back together again...(try)

oops

Andrew, would you have the part numbers for all of the relays please? or particularly the accessory and defogger relays? i couldnt find them on the jp-carparts website.

maybe it was just me then, being a pleb with my awkward finger :lol: although i didnt have enough oem fasteners on this zed, as a couple were broken or missing, so i will need to order some replacements. can try on the blue one as i replaced those previously, but i need a new battery before i can extract it from its current home, as it wont hold a charge :(
