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:

OK, been up all night and now about to freeze my bearings off outside! Had a couple of led bulbs fail so out with the dash again, then I've got to fit the drivers door card and get those neons wired in..

Two pairs of everything on and I'm going for it!

 

UPDATE... Sunday was a pig of a day..

Who knew that fitting a doorcard and some wiring could produce an entirely new dictionary of profanity??

 

Everything went great, finished it. Locked the car, realised I'd left my phone inside and pressed the button to unlock the car, everything clicked as it should, but door doesn't unlock...

BA@#ARD!!!

Spent another hour correcting the shoddy work of the thatcham approved alarm fitter, before refitting everything and finally getting back in the warm!

At the end of the day I got the drivers door finished but that left no time to wire the passenger one! Half a job again this weekend but at least I managed to get frostbite and rewrite the dictionary of profanity!!

I agree with Stephen, get someone else to do it. Any mistakes with the timing belt (misaligned, to loose to tight) could well range your engine with very expensive repair bills so would be cheaper for you in the long run

I'm afraid that's not going to happen, for one, the garage quote I got was just shy of a grand to replace the timing belt and I haven't got anything near that big to spend.

Secondly, it's my project car, and I would never learn anything if I always pay people to do it. The car isn't on the road and its not really a problem if it takes months before I finish it.

 

So I'm finishing it.

Sorted my Car Insurance out over the weekend. Got a great deal with Footman James, really impressed with their service too:thumbup1:

Well you will be if you ever get that bolt off! Lol..

 

Good luck with it and we'll done for sticking with it.. Hopefully you won't have any expensive mistakes to learn from!!

 

Think I'll see either Mr Kent or Mr dent for mine though, haven't got the facilities to do these major service items and to be honest,I don't have the patience either nowdays.

Hands like mine dont fit in Z engine bays unless it's to check the oil and water etc..

*Implying i have small hands* ha,

I've got the perseverance, less the time, but I enjoy doing stuff as long as I don't break stuff.

 

Cheers

Lol, wasn't implying anything about your hands Alic, just stating that mine are like coal shovels.. Don't fit anywhere I really need them to! I've learned after many years that my fingers just aren't fit for tight spaces..

I dropped a screw inside the dashboard a few weeks ago and normal fingers would have got it easily.. Mine were trying but after several plastic cuts and a lot of cursing, the screw stayed there until I found my magnet.. Lol..

First full of pork sausages!

Well I made the bracket for the Remote Transmission filter today.....

from this....

To this....

will be fitting as soon as I get the time....

This is why I hate my iPhone...... lol

Ah, I'm not sure.. I don't know him that well but going from experience I'm sure he'd find something to say! He's never failed yet.. Lol

I made the square holes today to mount my new arrived perspex strip :-) Don't mind if they aren't perfect, nobody will notice, only I will know :angel:

Well they're holes, that are square. No ones going to see them anyway, good job it the strip fits!

Finally managed to unpack my suitcase after returning from Texas earlier in the week and with it my NISMO baseball cap signed by Toshio Yamashita aka Yama San - chief designer of the Z32 300ZX

 

Fit a new DAB stereo today. Single din touch screen CD/DVD player as it gives a super sleek look. Love the simplicity.

 

New clutch swapped wheels

Dude I want that cap!!! I gotta get his signature on a piece of memorabilia. I'm glad you had a great trip to the states.

Big day finally here today! I dropped her off for her new paint at Keith's.... Looking forward to seeing the end result in a couple of weeks :biggrin:
