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:

Went round a friend's today and got my Nast rust hole cut out, pretty proud of my handwork tbh :D

 

Very tidy indeed.

Did you treat the inner cavity while you were at it?

i sealed what i could, and have cavity wax on its way, did the lower seal a few weeks ago, so now just 3 little spots on the arch :D

Sounds like the wire feed rollers are slipping, check the grip on the roller by feeding the wire pinched between finger and thumb, should feel resistance before slipping.

Also, check you have the feed roller to match the wire diameter, there will be markings on the roller matching the groove size in relation to the wire size.

 

its out of warranty by 10 days or so its junk now .. :cursing:

Wel it was yesterday, but i did this

Whoops. Blow out or a flat that you didn't notice till it was too late?

Well i was doing a suitable speed in lane 4 of the m25 when it all started to go a bit wobbly, hang a sharp left, but between then and the hard shoulder there was quite a lot of smoke, burnt rubber, bits of side skirt , arch liner etc etc.

Could have been a lot worse though Ian - glad you made it to safety mate!

One of my worst fears a blow out at speed. Well done on getting it over to the hard shoulder Ian.

Changed the engine oil cooler last night!

Took it for a run today & no leaks!

Laser alignment and a bit of an interior detail - this Z is now ready to drive down to the Mediterranean in a week and a half. :)

 

 

Yes, it needs fuel - I'll not be driving it until I head to Portsmouth so I'll brim it with 99Ron.

 

 

 

 

 

Even scrubbed the pedals!

 

Looking very nice Simon, impressive!

Hope you have a great trip down to the Mediterranean..

Looking forward to the updates.

......and so it starts.....I think this is a good location - just not sure how I'm going to route the cables!

 

There is plenty of space around the unions despite how it looks on the screen.

I put mine just below there in the inner wing. Loads of space as I've lost the aiv

Hi Jeff a couple of years ago I acquired a 300zx tt reg k86 YPA from Louis Calmels. I understand that you had the car for a while and carried out extensive work on it. I was wondering if you can remember what you did to it because it doesn't go like a standard 300 so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated thanks

Jeff

Thanks I look forward to hearing back from you

Ah I didn't know this was on again. I went last time. There could have been 3 zeds there.

To add the thread I MOT'd the car this Saturday, passed no probs.

Spent a little while cleaning up the engine bay. Think more time needs to go into it as not overly impressed with how it looks

Fitting these....

Sourced myself a brand new boxed, never been fitted original 3rd brakelight. Mine is in very good shape, but couldn't turn down a new discontinued part! I love finding new discontinued parts!

 

Interesting to note that if you buy the two screws separately, they come black, originals look like they're are just a plated finish.

 

It's still in the US at the moment, but soon it will be heading my way. :)

 

Dave, would you like my old one?

 

 

 

 

Wow Simon, what a find!

I would be interested in your existing one, definitely.

No chance of a second new one I'm guessing?
