Hello all, my name is Stefan and I own a Nissan 300zx.
I was at Japshow last weekend at SantaPod and was more than impressed with the display of cars, the approachability and knowledge of the members I spoke with, including one 'mini member' who was too young to own/drive a car but obviously showed a passion for cars. This lead to me signing up to the forum as I feel this is the type of club I would like to be a part of.
Hopefully I can positively contribute to the club and look forwards to becoming part of the Outlaw Jap Club community.
Stefan.

Need to re-do it as they've faded to pink now anyway.Upon recommendation from Rabster, I have finally joined OJC (mostly just to look at his build thread and steal his electronic prowess). While I'm here I may as well share my motors, My Ibiza Shed (More in other makes) and my IS daily:

Not fun.
No matter, modding started with a red tint as I hate those lights.

Looks alright from a distance
Need to re-do it as they've faded to pink now anyway.
Future plans are to fettle with the electrics for dat luxury; full closure, auto up/down, mirror folding, take me home lights etc... Lowering and wheels will likely be in the form of 40-60mm 6/8kg springs and r33 gtr/evo 9 wheels.
Ciao

Has any one any idea as to why this is ?
Any help would be great
THANKS
I'm after buying some new seats. But the seller is in Horsham.
Is there any members nearby who are going to japshow and can pick them up for me please.
They're recliners so can stretch out across a back seat, not fixed buckets.
Thanks

) it fits to the car(after some mods tho) the problem iv got is that when I came to close my bonnet it was being stopped by the strut brace hitting off the support beams in the bonnet. is there any way of sorting this out by either raising the bonnet ( if so then how would I do it) or is there any other non expensive way to sort out this problem?

Hi all, new to the club, this place is a gold mine for info on supercharging so now building custom kit, love the is200 just need little more power!! Reading your build threads has inspired me to make it happen!!
