Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

Nicely polished plenum! Did you do that yourself?

Great work Ted :thumbup1:

And a 99 spec front ;)

 

not this car maybe the next project

thanks guys for your nice comments well appreciated

That looks the nuts Ted,

Finished putting bits back on my red tt after painting it, ready for its new owner now, and then washed them all

 

I finished her off and went to pick my 5 year old up from school in her......lol.....

He was grinning from ear to ear...... He loved it....... and I loved it...... think I was grinning more.....lol

Dropped him off then went for a drive to local Tesco's and got the cleaning guy's to wash her..... she was looking nice.... lol

 

I did find a couple of niggles..... but going to try and sort them tomorrow...... blowing from O/S down pipe to decat pipe..... the 3 bolt flange....

There is also a whining noise like a rally cars syncro mesh when I accelerate and louder when I decelerate in 2nd ..... sounds like auto box or diff...... but have started an advice thread for that.....

 

I had a nice leisurely drive and was enjoying the loud exhaust, the smell of the engine from the exhaust leak and new gaskets getting hot, oil burning off, etc...... it was wonderful......

Then I had a muppet in a merc pull up next to me at the lights and revved his standard exhaust....... So I went into neutral and gave it 4000 rpm...... he stopped grinning then....

I pulled away slowly and the idiot gunned it through a speed camera.....lol

I love my Z............ I am soooooooooooo happy now.......

 

Thanks to everyone here for the support and nudges to get her done...... I won't forget it and will be doing the same for other members....

You waxed the loom? Good idea I suppose :lol:

Fallen down within my partners household for getting uprated turbos fitted and guide book the conversion process put in!

 

Been for a drive to get 3 stud exhaust gasket and found this one fits......

 

BOSAL 256-846

 

Not sure what it should fit..... but thought it might help someone if they need one as nothing listed at local motor factors..... I just took the spare turbo and manifold and did it by size.....

Well they just told me to go out back and look myself...... I'm glad they know me in there...... lol

Just need to fit it, check fluid levels on coolant, engine oil, transmission and replace diff oil...... not much planned today.... lol

 

Such a nice day I am also now building the boot install for all my audio system..... just need to plan something different and as oem as I can get it.......

I love sunny days..... lol

stuck coilovers on her to drop it a bit

Could do with going a little lower mate.

Love those wheels though!

Plus get some clear or black side markers in the rear bumper :thumbup:

i just put them in the way i got them. the 19in wheels dont leave a lot of room. made a big diff on the rear.

yeah mite jus get diff side markers :thumbup1:

im getting the wheels refurbed, was thinking of changing the colour of the spokes. keeping the polished rims tho

after getting the coilovers on i had some time to enjoy the sunny weather. first time getting the targas off!!

Your Z is looking great Stephen :thumbup1: Love the seats and wheels keep at it mate.

Thanks Bri its one of my longest threads :) but not my idea as I copied it from another forum :whistling:

Got the Z out of hibernation this weekend after a long wet crappy winter (after a battery charge, started first turn of the key). Gave the car a thorough clean today, only a weekend out and people stop to look at it and ask questions as it sat there on the drive. Love it!!

 

Not the best photos, but it proves the car still exists! :lol:

Thats a really strange paint Si the way it picks up the sky colour..looks flat untill a bright sky appears then ZING!!! the colour and pearl comes alive.Love it:)

Looks amazing Si :thumbup1:

Very nice Simon

Thanks chaps.

 

Bri, my camera phone has real difficulty with the paint on my car, because if the pearl and the brightness, it over exposes and you can't see the gloss and the translucency on the paint. It looks very sharp and has a really deep 'wet-look' to it. The first photo is quite true to its real likeness.

Here's a better representation....
