I have no idea with coilovers. Depends how much you drop the thing. Can always give it a go and if the worst comes to the worst get the lips lightly rolled.

Took me a few seconds to twig the name change! Well it looks a lot better than that horrible bumper you had before! Glad that's gone! Would have gone for the gracer over the WW though. Would paint that chicken wire black! Hide it! Mesh should not be seen!

Been f'kin around on 'shop some more.
If you'd have looked harder, you'd have spotted two! LOL Changed. It is nearly 2.15am!

275 and you'll be fine. Looks like your wheel has similar clearance to mine, but your tyre is more stretched.

Did this. It's not brilliant, but I had some fun doing it. Can't seem to get the edges just right, bit it's a start. It's all self-taught. Not using any manuals/how-2s. My aim was to make it look a bit synthetic/teletubbies. Added a Nissan logo too. Dunno if I like it though. I did this for CK300Z last week which I was really chuffed with. It's easier on dark cars with dark backgrounds. I managed to adjust the lighting tone exactly to the new backdrop.

Just saw this on autotrader - not mine
Looks like it's had a VERY cheap respray.

Anyone for a meet this Saturday (30th May)?
Cracking meet all! Fantastic weather and great scenery! Photos up shortly! :)

sorry guys but i'm off
You do know that it's going to be almost as hot here in the UK as it is in the med right now. So, I am not too gutted! LOL

speeding fine advice
It was a bit. I am sure if a police officer had seen me I may have gotten away with a telling off, a fine or a producer. I realised I was doing the wrong thing and tried to correct it. Unfortunately, in situations like that, there's only a yes and no answer as the camera is the prosecution, jury and judge and there's nothing else that can be done about it. I didn't contest it (although asked for the photographic evidence as I didn't think my rear wheels had gone over the line). I made the error, so took the penalty (if it did seem a little harsh considering the surrounding details).

speeding fine advice
Yup. Believe it or not, it wasn't intentional. Was a momentary lapse in concentration and looking at the lights ahead of the junction that was crossing. Overshot thinking they were green, but didn't cross the box. I even reversed as there was nothing about. BUT, the camera got me as my rear wheels had gone just over the line. This is going back about 6 or 7 years ago now though.

What do you want to see in the [B]Inside out feature[/B]
PCV is just a cylinder with a ball bearing and a spring in it. Nowt interesting there. lol

Wheres a good day out?
That's where the lesser spotted StellaZ is housed I think. A rare and timid beast. :wack:

Why oh why oh why?!
Screw it back in! :rofl:

Recirc valves please Jeff...and any service/refurb work associated with them. :)

Why? The night ferry leaves Portsmouth at 8pm. So you wouldn't really loose much of the Saturday. Gets you in to St.Malo at about 8am. Lovely French town too.
-
Wheres a good day out?
Take the Z, drive down to Portsmouth, take the overnight ferry to St Malo and take a nice spirited drive through the Normandy countryside and then take the ferry back to Portsmouth from Cherbourg or Caen. That's my type of weekend getaway. :)

Bend over and take it up the arse like a man! You broke the limit and got caught. Shit happens. But, 3 points won't have much effect on your premium. You'll find that about 1 in 4 people in the UK have some form of endorsement on their licence. :) You'll have an SP30. I had an SP30 and a TS10 on my licence when I bought my Z and it didn't load the premium by any noticeable amount.

Number plates
I just haven't been pulled in the Z yet. Not bad considering I've had the thing for 4 years! No 'you never drive it comments', cause it gets used a LOT in the summer. :)
-
Number plates
Yeah, probably cars registered in Guernsey! :rofl: I like them, but think it's taking the piss a little, my front plate takes the piss, but I guess I've been lucky! LOL

Anybody noticed the petrol prices are creeping up again
Yup. I get through 2 to 3 tanks of fuel a week. Used to cost me about £45 to full the Leon, but now it costs about £52. Some places are up to 107.9ppl for diesel now.

towbar on 300zx..??????
I think the Z will be twice the weight of the caravan! LOL THIS is the most useful thing for caravans and it's what they were really designed for! :bow:
-
towbar on 300zx..??????
At least Chris pulls something cool with his Z, a speedboat.....but a caravan? LOL

German e bay bling
I bet in person, having the centre of the tailgate like that probably makes it look as saggy as an old woman's fanjita.
