Can you get pearl white in spray cans i want to spray the grey band on the bumper

We've just returned from a short holiday to Cornwall, racking up just over 1000 (quite fast;)) miles in the Z over the last few days and (as usual) it never missed a beat.......:bow: It is bloody filthy now, though so I guess that's my job for tomorrow:p Richard:D

After cleaning all the green gunge out from some electrical connections I have a tube of silicone grease and some spray white lithium. After reading the blurb on the spray lithium it provides excellent electrical resistance!? - surely this is not what you want. Anyone know how your meant to use this or the best way of sealing the connections - do I spray on grease/silicone - let it dry then put connection spades back on?or just clip everything back in then spray afterwards - (this will not touch the electrical connections tho as there is plastic bushings round. Thanks

Finally got the pot fitted chroming done by Slick Pete (many thanks will post back tomorrow) what do you think? Need the top chrome too now

just cleaned my 300 today, been dirty for ages!!! not going to drive it now, not until the roads clear of mud and winter things!! lol! hope u all like 'em. al.

now I know why my zed has been laid up for a year - I forgotten how stressful working on them are. Removing the drivers side dipped beam light and there is a metal spring that clips it in place. the catch it locks behind (part of the headlamp unit) snapped so now I cant fix my HID back in place!!! :( I have tried a *small* touch of silicone sealant around the edge of the fixing to see if that will hold it in place - I will now in 24 hours. Im just hoping sealant wont be a prob with temp of HID and that it holds - otherwise I guess its a new headlamp assembly and a bumper off job!!! :(

Took the 300 on its first long run 300+miles, not a single unusal sound from it well pleased ,the fuel consumsion was good filled to the brim ,stayed below 70 on the way there and used apox 1/4 tank, on the way back pushed it 100/140mph and used aprox 1/2 tank, so 3/4 tank very pleased . thats with the wife in the back and son in the front too

got some uk clocks and got groover to fit his new el dials below b4 and aft pics

heater in car has stopped working and the fan is making a strange noise, its still blowing, just cold air instead of warm, engine temp is fine, noticed the other day it just went from cold to hot within a minute after being cold for ages, it didnt just gradually warm up if ya know what i mean any ideas before i go poking around

Is it replace every 3 years or 60K? Cheers If car has been sat for a year does that still count :)

Whilst out driving around yesterday enjoying the sunshine, Suddenly see Atlast (sean) in his white zed, stop and have a chat, then a drive about. Nice to see two just cleaned and polished zeds, a black and a white one zooming around. What i liked to see was other road users and public looking at us, i think it has something to do with the sound of the zeds grumbling down the road. Looking good mate, will do a cuppa next week.

http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1904392&forum=general&dtSearch=65 that is an amazing piece of work:bow:

I was recently sent to work on another power station and was quickly told about a 500bhp supra, owned by the guy i was going to be working for. He told me he was having alot of hassle from the police because of the noise from his exhausts so he had an Exhaust Control Valve fitted. I was just wondering if anyone had ever ventured into fitting a twin set-up into a zed? These are the fella's i was looking at. http://www.nengun.com/apexi/exhaust-control-valve

How much is a second-hand tein coil-over set-up gonna cost??

Hi all, Im having trouble fitting the new engine loom now :mac1: Ive disconnected the ECU and the other plug that connects to the other part of the loom. But im having trouble pulling it though the bulk head! Is the loom connected anywhere else? I hope i havent caused more damage pulling it. Whats the best way of getting it out? Cheers

hello, looking for some thoughts about stainless steel vs cast iron manifolds? what else to look for, like what makes one better than another and does it make a huge difference? i have standard turbos at the moment but looking to upgrade them at a later stage. many thanks.

Ok after a lot of searching i found this, i could never find anything that actually detailed what each setting was for and the manual is limited. http://www.fd3s.net/avc-r_install.html Also note the links at the bottom of the page for diagrams. :D

Would this work?

after fitting my asi rad and godspeed smic's and removing the washers on the drivers side and carbon can and expansion tank on the pax side, i need a new expansion tank for the rad. z centre no longer do them, and was looking at this but a little expensive for an overflow for the rad. http://shop1.actinicexpress.co.uk/shops/Rat_Sport/index.php?cat=Radiator_Expansion_Tank___Swirl_Pot the one for £59.95 anyone know of a good of/ex tank? al.
