To be fair, the guy that filmed that is responsible for helping us raise the profile of the car as he is the editor of Retro Japanese magazine. He is very involved in the classic car scene of many other variants too and likes to do these quick walk round videos of his various tastes!

Ah man, sorry to hear that Ian, what a pain in the...! Thanks for your help on the stand matey and hope your get your landy sorted ok. Now you just have to choose what Z to drive until it’s fixed!

You need a series 2 or later cluster.

I need to work on my camera skills as the colour of Craig’s car is hard to capture with the lighting. Managed a few of mine but they’re not great pics:

There’s another Z32 here on another stand [emoji41]

Whilst tinkering I noticed that my wheel nuts were getting seriously shabby! So last night I took them into work for a spruce up. They’re not perfect but certainly better than the weathered, oxidised finish that they were. I’ve literally been flat out all day on the car today and ran out of light and time. The car is still more than presentable but I only managed to do the final cut of polish on one side and seal that side, the other is slightly swirly from the course cut (hopefully is doesn’t hologram). I’ll be slapping some glaze products on in the NEC tomorrow to fill all the imperfections so fingers crossed it’ll look good. I managed to get a lot done which is lucky as there was a lot to do and put back together, it has a “wheely” good detail!... I’ve been putting the final bits and bobs together this evening for the show plates and my plinth (which is new for the year) and I’ll be setting off nice and early tomorrow morning. Hopefully see you over the weekend if you’re coming along to the Classic Motor Show [emoji41]

The ones for sale at CZP are made by GZA that Jeff linked. Ian Greenfield had a spell of importing these to the UK, maybe ask him if he has any more or has plans for another shipment.

Steady progress, 1 day remaining [emoji32]

Removing the bulb can involve too much effort, the most efficient method of disabling the airbag light is with a 3/32” drill bit!!

Still lots to do as I’ve only done the first cut of polish on half the car! It would be ok if I wasn’t working every night until the show. Sleep is optional though right?

Managed to get my headlamps rebuilt and reinstalled, quite a rewarding job to see them back in as they’re such a nice design feature of the car. [emoji41] Both units were stripped down and cleaned internally. All the glass areas were deep cleaned with isopropanol and finished with an anti-fog glass treatment, the insert plastics protected with Aerospace 303 UV protectant and the units reassembled with desiccant bags secured inside. All the rubbers (which are only a few years old) were also treated to a lovely dose of Gummi Pfledge. Managed to get it all done without being busted by the wife putting “dirty car parts” in the oven! Of course they were sparkly clean anyway as the bodies had another deep clean with a 10:1 solution of AS G101 apc. Thanks to Simon for the replacement headlamp as I had a glass mismatch due to a previous rock smash incident a few years ago! Also thanks to Andy for the halo inserts; as nice as they are I couldn’t bring myself to do it but they will live on in a fellow members car. [emoji106]

Welcome back to the fold Paul. Pleased to hear you have the love back for that little gem you have [emoji106]

Those black vinyl strips are a right pain in the hoop to install! When I had the OEM spoiler fitted I couldn’t get one fitted right and it’s a one shot affair so no second chance, in the end I had it painted on.

Yes yes yes. Yes. Yes yes nice.

Happy Birthday Simondo Leemo.

I typed that all in capitals to emphasise my request but the forum doesn’t like shouty language text on its own so it calmed me down. However, I still mean PIIIIICCCSSS!!

Piiiiicccsss!!

What’s with the vagimaggot keyring?!

Interesting, I had no idea that Vodafone had got into the security market.

Lovely job [emoji106]
