I had mine blasted, washed out and chemically cleaned, came up really well.

So, I guess the best option is to let the refurbing company do their best and then if that is not good enough decide on the next step. Do you have a choice of refurb company ? Some are better than others. I guess it is in the best interest of the tyre fitting place to get it done properly and so far they seem to have been pretty reasonable in their approach.

So how much would a replacement wheel cost ?

Happy Birthday Lee.

Happy Birthday Joel.

Happy Birthday Joel.

I will if funds permit.

Well the Z has finally arrived at the new house, having been abandoned in my former neighbours yard for three months. Have just ordered a car cover for it from eBay ...

If you had the spare garage space I'd be round there like a shot !

Yeah, I know. Trouble is I don't really want to sell it ...

Hmmm, I'd forgotten about the old Rides going ... 1992 Nissan 300zx TT Import Engine: Boost upgrade to 13.5psi ECU with dual switchable maps (SE and custom map) Cat back Mongoose stainless steel exhaust system Stainless steel de-cat pipes (with silencers) SE Nissan Maxflow air intake with dual K&N filters Samco Sport intake hoses Uprated (Pace) intercoolers UK spec. radiator UK spec. oil cooler Samco Sport radiator hoses Braided stainless-steel fuel hoses Supplementary Earthing kit Brakes: Front: 350Z gold Brembo calipers 350Z Brembo discs Brembo pads Rear: 350Z gold Brembo calipers 350Z Brembo discs Brembo pads Castrol Super Response DOT 4.1 hydraulic fluid Braided stainless-steel hydraulic lines Master cylinder brace from TokyoAuto Transmission: Manual conversion Silkolene SYN 5 75w-90 gear oil in gearbox and differential RPS "Street" clutch Braided stainless-steel hydraulic line Castrol Super Response DOT 4.1 hydraulic fluid Suspension: Tokico adjustable shocks Suspension Techniques sway (anti-roll) bars Suspension Techniques polyurethane bushes for the tension rods ( not yet fitted) Front & rear strut braces from TokyoAuto Skyline R33 17" wheels Other Mods: Uprated dipped beam (85w) and fog bulbs (55w) Dismantled & internally cleaned headlights Uprated reversing light bulbs (55w) and reflectors Carbon fibre radiator air guide 1999 spec Z32 front bumper and lights modified with SE intercooler vents Leather handbrake & gearlever boots UK spec. speedo, tacho, boost & oil pressure gauges Navan gear shift knob Courtesy light delay ICE: Kenwood "Mask" CD/MP3 head unit mStation MP3 player (with upgraded disk & EPROM) Uprated speakers all round Gadgets: Blitz SBC-ID boost controller Blitz electronic boost gauge Racelogic Adjustable Traction Control Cat 1 Alarm & Imobiliser Techtom MDM-100 Original parts: Titanium alloy ignition key Complete lightweight aluminium toolkit & jack Targa top sunshades Targa top storage bags Deep pile colour matched floor mats Current problem is that it is SORN'd and no MOT. When last driven it had a misfire which I believe is a faulty coilpack, I have a spare.

It's all in my Rides section.

I guess I have to face facts and admit that mine is for sale ..... What should I be asking ?

The missing images are just arrows/pointers, eg indicating same as the previous image as far as I can tell. I should fix it really (one day) but I didn't think anyone looked at it any more.

Happy Birthday!

Same here, I didn't know about Supplement III either.

It's unlikely you damaged the ECU when you butchered the screws unless you were particularly violent with it. I could socket it and provide a chip, but I'm away quite a lot over Christmas so I wouldn't want to promise to do it before that.

Happy Birthday Steve.

'Cept he's likely to be working now ! :D

Is there anything special/different about the 370z brakes? All I'm saying is, if they are the same as the 350z, then don't pay over the top just because they are from a 370. The 350 brakes are good and are an easy bolt-on upgrade.

Possibly, although we've moved so it may be a different pub ! The Axe & Compases, now only a mile walk, which is not quite like the 10 yards to The Black Lion !

Thanks Joel, I have room to store it outside here too, just didn't want to. Realistically, it never gets used, apart from to test ECU's for people, so maybe it's time for it to go.

Actually, no. I don't really want to destroy anything, but options are limited, (as are funds) ...

Actually, there is already a lean-to storeroom on the back, so I had considered that. Extending out the front is not really an option as the other garage next door would look really odd. To be honest the whole structure looks delicate, so I'm not sure how much butchering it would stand. However, in the meantime I really need to find somewhere else to store the car. It's currently in a friends barn, but it can't stay there much longer as it's blocking in their horsebox which will need to be moved very soon.
