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:

This arrived this morning so will fit it latter :)

 

New number plates!? :p :)

New number plates!? :p :)

 

Funny you should say that but no :biggrin: I will be changing my "showplates" as they are starting to fade now after years of use and yes the rising sun is going into the sunset never to be seen again. So new design with no badges coming up Si and as for whats in the the parcel (from Zcenter) I will put a pic up later of it fitted.:yes:

Just ordered Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, Full bolt kit for everything (wings, cambelt covers, coilpacks etc) plus ALL engine pipes and vac hoses. Also bought myself a little surprise:w00t: I'll tell you more about that when it arrives:w00t:

Washed Zeb ready for Trentham. Just need to put a couple of coats of wax on now if the weather holds

 

I've been trying out Autobrite Directs line of products and have to say they are pretty good so far.

Used their Snow foam , wheel cleaner, leather cleaner and a Hell Shine Sythe sheepskin wash pad that's awesome to use.

Round 2 is using Hell shine restore polish than a Cherry Glaze top wax.

Holy Crap!! that's a lot of foam!! How long does it take you from start to finish Ian??

Thanks for those pics Gary, it looks really well.

I had my Z booked in for Monday week but there's a bit of a delay on all the hoses I've ordered, so the whole order should be here in 3-4 weeks. Car will have the engine bay painted when the engine gets pulled.

What way/colour should I do the bay, Any thoughts??

Gloss or Satin.. Pearl Black / Satin Black or a Dark Grey / Gunmetal.??

The car will eventually be a Deep Blue but I can't afford to get it running and do a full respray, hence doing just the engine bay for this year.

Adding further details

Sounds like a good plan Richie :yes:

I give the car a good covering of snow foam and let it sit for 20 mins. The foam doesn't break down quick like cheap stuff so what on the floor makes it look like I've used loads when I haven't. Takes me about an hour to wash from start to finish but that includes soak time for wheel treatment and snow foam. And I'm not the quickest around the car coz of bad knees

Thats it fitted :thumbup1: new radiator bracket from Luke for my new Japspeed radiator as the old bracket did not fit.

 

 

Where do your bonnet stay clips go?

Edited June 20, 201510 yr by AndrewG

My white TT got a bit horny the day as managed to get a horn for her then she lit up with excitement as managed to get side lights wired up and found the issues that stopped them working even the side bumper lights so just need to get the number plate lights as connectors are wrecked and run a feed for the fog light then mot. ( still have a P.A.S leak bad one lol)

The only place they can go is one on the plastic fan shroud but dont like that idea so thinking of removing the bonnet stay and fitting a bonnet struts like Mondo :yes:

Collected my brand new early style headlights today! They make me moist! These were discontinued for many years and this last 'known' new set are now mine! I've been bugging the seller for YEARS for these!

 

Mine are in pretty good shape, but they aren't new, these look fresh, crisp and lovely with really bright and clean reflectors! Yum!

That is an epic find Si :bow:

Superb engine bay Gary! :thumbup1:

I fitted a new rear windscreen rubber seal I have now sourced to fit took me a few days to find them but they look OEM and fit beautifully into the channel and the top corner pieces...........

A couple of pictures of how nicely it fits.........

And all for under £20......... lol

My power steering pump started to leak

Finally got my power steering pump off!

I took the belt off & to my surprise or horror! the wheel of the pump pulled out & came off!!

My new pump arrives Monday.

To my surprise my local Nissan dealer had the copper rings large & small for the pipe fittings!

I was asking how long it takes you to do the whole process from washing to waxing and polishing.... or polishing and then waxing...I don't know which way round is best
