Bloody hate road grit. Idiots zooming past kicking it up hope I haven't got any chips in the paint work.
 
So, whilst the engine is out of my Noble and I should be ordering the new clutch, sending the turbos to get checked over/rebuilt etc. Instead I took delivery of the new seats :D

Cracked my front bumper driving slowly out of carpark.. Was matter of time. Glue it is then. Integra had fron lip with LOADS of hammerite on it from scraping on way out of my parking spot. 350z is scraping with bumper :S Ordered some buumper protector ill see if that helps a bit to scrape wirth that not bumper heh

The ginger is looking good, need to give our one a wash and Sonax.

Also just planned in all the parts to do the identical service you've just done and it's about £140 in parts. Nice cheap oil from TPS at £12 for 5L helps, but the coolant, gearbox & diff oils add up. Spark plugs to do next year!

I then put together a spreadsheet to capture all the maintenance and additional work required for the 350z, Murano, MX5, DC2 and Insight. Waaayyyyyyy too much to do and just not enough time with all these damn cars :(
 
Discovered that some utter ****** has hit mine whilst either parking or leaving a space beside it. Even more infuriating as I actively try to park away from others, clearly no note left either.

Can't wait to try and get the paint matched on an ST front bumper without it looking like 20 shades of bluey purple.

At least it was only the bumper and not the wing I guess...every cloud

Since dc2 I'm using Millers nanodrive oil went for cheaper 5w30 over top range 10w40 i had in dc2 after rebuild since its recommended grade. Costs 32 pounds so tahts good for 5 liters.Also got ceramizer addiotive for injectors and engine on the way. Had it in every single car i owned 30 quid maybe works maybe not deffo helped oil burning in my 1986 civic si wuith 230 000 miles on :D

Today extra 1 liter of nissan gearbox oil came in as. 3 liters is missing around 300ml to full fill FYI ofc added molly slip as everyone on forums recommend. Deffo box feels smoother.
Got full iridium plugs to put in maybe this weekend. Leaving diff Oil nothing in Maintenance book says about changing It at any stage. Need AC belt changing.
Got garage booked for mornign tomorrow so they can slam manifold back exhaust on. Grounding kit heard it's actually working on 350s 13 quid at lest will look nice :P.

Cant complained sold my stock rims yesterday for same price I paid for Rays so :).
 
Moved it from one part of the driveway to another, sans exhaust... :p

Use the footsteps and the sound of me getting into the car as a gauge of volume, if you want the full ear bleeding experience...

 
I tried to be as quick as I could. :p

Was going to move it at about 6:30PM but the battery was completely dead, so ended up moving it at about 8PM.
 
Were the voices I could hear thato f somebody sensible suggesting if it was necessary to wake up people all the way to New Zealand just move a car with no exhaust on forward a few feet by driving it instead of pushing it?
;) :D
 
The voice was my Dad helping me not reverse into the low wall at the side of the driveway and telling me when to stop. And also an exchange of "It sounds insane" and him saying "Not as good as [guy from work]'s Mustang though!"

And it was necessary because the part of the driveway I moved it to is uphill. :p
