Managed to put in some time on this today, cut off the top of the brake shield, Zinc coated them, had to adjust the parking brake to fit the rear 350mm discs and did a quick test fit of my brackets and calipers. Also took out the cracked and broken drivers light and threw in a quick replacement just till it goes for paint (have ‘99 spec rears to fit when painted). I’ve decided I’ll paint this subframe while it’s accessible, Anyone know the best place to get some POR15, I don’t want to split it like I did the other car. Figure this is meant to be good stuff:innocent:

Both the Smokey and Cannonball films got me into cars at an early age:punk: RIP Burt Reynolds.

Bopat, if you’re sticking with 17” wheels, I do have a set of Evo Brembo’s with 350mm discs and adapters which may squeeze behind 17” wheels?? They’re in the for sale section.:thumbup1:

So, as funds are tight for the next few months, Redzer is just being put together with what I’ve got lying around spare. :yes:IE. on the cheap to get her to Wales for bodywork, I’m quite pleased that I was able to get these Mintex rear discs for £44 with free shipping,:clap: total bargain and at least I can now start test fitting my other set of rear Brembo 4 pots to one of my spare complete rear subframes. They’ve still to go for powdercoat once I’ve test fitted but I can then swap out the skeletal remains of what’s on the car, ready for gearbox and prop shaft:punk::clap:

I have a couple of setups but they all need a minimum of 18" wheels, they all use either 350mm or 355mm discs, so 17" wheels aren't really an option.

Is this an original?? They normally have their logo / name in the number plate and a silver sticker on the inside with a lacquer over it??

I think poor old Dan's car insurance payout was around £12K, as his was not an agreed value, he got some classic crowd to value his car for the insurance claim and they put it around £27K, so yours should definitely be up around there:thumbup1:

Nismo 740's ??:innocent:

Ah man, you may bang up some more pics of that Z, it was this very Z that got me into these cars :clap:

Is that SGT. C's old widearch shortie??:drool:

Thanks guys, just had a lazy day and no, brakes were not on the birthday prezzie list:biggrin: Got something much better but won't have it till early next year:thumbup:

Hey Gaz, I’ve spoken to Luke and this thread can now be closed :whistling:

Usually (in Ireland anyway), the package is delivered by the postman / courier and they have a customs docket / pouch to collect on delivery, if they don’t collect, they take the parcel with them until duties are collected. I’d ignore until someone knocks on your door.

Would love to know the updates on this Dave, any progress??

Happy birthday buddy, hope you have a good one :punk:

That is SOOO clean, love it:clap:

Yup, AMG 8 pots with 355mm discs. I’ve Brembo 18z with the same also

Best of luck :thumbup1: I’ve 4 different setups available

Any pics of it in silver Jay??

Forgot to mention that when I met the guys in Manchester for the Cafe XL meet, Ian Greenfield was so kind to bring along another rare JDM piece of the jigsaw.... My Tokyo Auto strut brace :clap: Ian has been minding this for me since I bought it off him approximately 2 years ago, so thanks for minding it for me matey and thanks for dropping it over :thumbup: Question is, do I strip it down and polish it, powdercoat it silver, blue, grey etc or leave it as it is ??

The one near the battery is the PRV, the AIV is at the other side of the engine bay, the solenoids are the same though:thumbup1:

:happybday: Hope you have a great day Graham :happybday:

Some more

Myself and Caitlyn thoroughly enjoyed ourselves today, it was great to finally meet a few members in person :punk: Some fabulous cars and some fabulous people, Ian, Keith (KJZ32), Keith (KeithS), Dave (Coopd), Scott (Devney), Tom (Mogsy) Mike and Graham (Gray), it was a pleasure to meet you all and thanks for making us feel so welcomed :thumbup: Few pics of the cars

Cool idea, I’d honestly be afraid to go near a track as I’ve no track experience and after seeing a Honda NSX wipe itself out on a track barrier at Mondello park last year, I’d be hesitant to bring a freshly painted + expensively modified car to a track, my car will be for show and go but not a track warrior (might look into something like that at a later date though):thumbup1:
