Well done mate....Have been reading your posts over the years and you certainly been very patient!!! Car looks stunning.

Looking into brake options right now. Does anyone have the wilwood brake kits (calipers) fitted and what are they like? cheers

It`s a nice track but it gets really really hot....can imagine the F1 drivers sweating like crazy. Will be at the F1 in April....missus is one of the F1 docs so will hopefully get a pass to mingle around :dance:

Thought I`d share some pics of a track day I went to a few days back with my brother in-law. It was at Sepang circuit in Malaysia where they hold the F1. First time at a Malaysian track day and pretty much similar in rules to UK track days. Some very nice machinery at the track day both on and off. Here in Malaysia the national Proton car is very popular and my bro-in law as a Proton Wira which is essentially a rebadged Mitsi Lancer. Except his has an EVO 4 engine and loads of go faster bits. Was running on semi-slick tyres and was rapid.... Managed to get past a lot of expensive machinery.... Also very popular are Hondas...was impressed with the Civic Type R 4 door...the handling on this thing was incredible. Dont think my zed would have lasted 1 lap in the 38 degree heat...plus it was in the garage getting sorted again..:(

Veering towards these as looking for adjustable suspension for the odd track day. Legarth, from the literature it says the kit is height and damper adjustable. "Includes both ride height and damping force adjustment to allow the driver to dial in the suspension for various surface conditions." Was also thinking about the EDFC, which I know would allow for incar damping adjustment but dont think it will alter height. Quite handy for me as the roads over here in Malaysia vary a great deal.

Need to upgrade most of the suspension bits on the zed. Thinking about the Tein Super Streets, which are height and damper adjustable. Anybody have these fitted and how are they? Did a search but most folk seem to have the Tein Flex`s which seem to be v good but quite stiff. ta

Very, very sad news...I had met Colin on a few occasions over the years and he had always came across as a pleasant, well mannered guy. A true Z nut aswell and had given me some good advice about the zed over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with Leslie and Colin`s family at this difficult time...

Wish you all the best Colin and Leslie, please take it easy while recovering mate.

I`ve just had mine sprayed lambo yellow. I`m yet to see it as I`m currently in the UK and me zed is in malaysia. Been told that it`s a good job. Dying to see it...

Can you pass on my regards to Colin. Is he still in SRI?

Car looks good.

Thanks for the comments guys. Andy, initially wasnt sure about going all cream, thought about two tone first of all but saw a car in the workshop in the full cream leather and decided it looked good. Jaffa, wasnt too much of a hassle but I emigrated to Malaysia under a specialist programme with the wife(who is originally Malaysian). It allowed us to take two cars tax free. Normally exported cars are subjected to 200% tax plus other costs. Took over my C Class merc also. Cars are really expensive in Malaysia.

Get well Colin....take it easy while recovering. ronnie

Having emigrated to Malaysia in April and taken my zed over, decided to get the interior done. The old black leather was beginning to show its age so took it to an interior retrimmer. Seemed to be a good outfit with samples of their work at the premises. All in the job took 3 days. They retrimmed the seats and panels in italian cream leather with black stitching. I`m very impressed with the results and the cost was about £480. Similar job would cost 2-3 times that in the UK.

Awesome..!!

Forfarz32 I use to stay in dundee, but have now moved to malaysia(along with the zed!) There`s a guy on here called Craig (username craigs) he lives in tealing and is a fully trained mechanic. He also has a zed and knows them inside out. Always took my zed to him for big jobs. Let me know if you want his number. ronnie

Dan, thanks for the advice....certainly encountered first hand the downpours. Will need to have a look round for a garage. As you said a lot of exotic cars about and the food is awesome!!! Jeremy, glad the conversion`s going well...

After spending all my life in Scotland (born and bred!!) have emigrated to Malaysia a few weeks ago.... Certainly hot over here....my black zed currently on a boat and due to arrive next week:hyper: Not seen a single z32 here in Kuala Lumpur although seen lots of nice cars..new R35 GTR, loads of 350Z`s...... Just wondering if anyone knows of members/garages etc in Malaysia? Ta

Any zeds going to crail then...think i might make it up.

Alright Colin, bit off topic but how are you doing? Is your zed still off the road? ronnie

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Russ at 300zx styling or if he is still in business? cheers ronnie

Thanks for looking Smithy..just really keen on the rear valance as its quite subtle. ronnie

Thanks, had a look at edk83`s in the rides section.

Right, looking to get a rear bumper for my zed. Seen quite a few and really like the kaminari rear valance but think I might have issues trying to source it. Other one I quite like is the stillen GTZ rear valance. Does anyone have pics of the stillen one. Think someone on the site has them fitted. cheers ronnie

Yay...!!!! been spotted. Were you in a zed as I can usually spot them a mile off.
