I plan on getting a historical record of the cars that attend. I've got the majority of it already. Whilst I am not planning on Coventry becoming an annual thing, I do intend to do something similar every 2 years. It was 8 years since Ferrybridge, and I don't want to leave it another 8 years till the next big one :)

I wonder how many of the zeds at that meet will be at Coventry, and how many of them have been broken since.

I've seen slasher movies that start like this....

Check the relays and fuses for the system. Could be a dodgy really by the sounds of it. Switch it out for a known good one to check (IIRC the headlight relays are the same type).

Hi Dave. Yep, got it thanks. Meant to email back yesterday but never got round to it. See you on Sat.

This can cause it too: http://www.bendix.com.au/news/disc-thickness-variation-dtv-issue-14

Start with the simple things - check all your wheel nuts are torqued correctly (inc spacers if you have them). Check for any obvious uneven wear on pads and discs.

7 days to go now. Be sure you have downloaded the file from this thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?176857-25-Anniversary-Meet-Download-for-attendee-s It has a small map on how to enter Millennium Place. Coventry is full of bus only and one way systems which you don't want to be lost in!

Bump. 7 days to go. Make sure you have the above info. Coventry is a nightmare of a one way and bus only system so you want to know where you're going!

We have space for 70 cars. Currently have 5 places left. So if you want to come across with the Zed there is room. Just PM me your name and Reg number and you're good to go

Found a pic: Yeah, left it on. It was then on my VXR8. And then on my S-Max until late last year when someone buggered it by crashing into the front of me. The Slicky has a 3/4 plate.

It was my private plate - "L3 XXD" lol Pulled by an undercover car. Claimed his ANPR couldn't read my plate because it was too small.

I think I must be the only person to ever be stopped for running a 3/4 plate! £60 spot fine.

7 days left. Tick-Tock

How far are you willing to send it? I can highly recommend Clark Motorsport up in Aberdeen. I also used to drive past this place most days when I was working on the new Forth Road Bridge: http://www.sitechracing.co.uk/ They always had a scattering of Supra's and stuff out the front. They don't list bodywork on their website, but I would assume they have a trusted place they use.

Had it fitted to my 350z when I had the Amuse front bumper. Looked smart. No reason why it wouldn't look good on yours. Check your PM's btw.

Quick Google got me this info:

Check with Z Centre that they sent you the right parts. I've had it before (from a different seller) when they have sent S14 parts instead of Z33 parts.

Just a reminder to time your arrival for 10am or after. I only get access a little before that and need time to set up.

Put some blank paper behind the glass. It will show it's colour as either blue or bronze.

I think that's the Brabus version.

You're in same hotel as me (Belgrade Plaza Premier Inn). There is a multi story car park (awards for security etc) around the back. Works out at £10 for 24 hours. It is literally around the back of the hotel: http://www.belgradeplaza.co.uk/park/

I wish people would learn to write adverts properly. That is shocking. Decatted? You ever driven an NA with Decats? You'd hate the car within 20 miles of driving on a motorway. £500 notes on top of that and you could have had my Slicktop when it was up for sale.

Our small gathering has attracted the attention of the Coventry press... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/whats-on/event/nissan-300zx-owners-club/

Think about the stresses a wheel hub goes through. A wheel hub has to be centred to reduce the lateral stresses on wheels studs. Even more so if (like most cars) they have been over tightened. If (for example) your wheels have a CB of 70mm and do not have spigot rings, then that is 3.9mm of possible lateral movement (300zx CB is 66.1mm). The only thing stopping that movement is your wheel studs. So that is where all the force of acceleration, deceleration, pot holes, suspension travel is loaded through. Since spigot rings cost about £2 each, is it really worth not having them and then potentially snapping all your new wheel studs.....possibly whilst on the road?
