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:

All the seals split on those aftermarket clears. You're probably better off using the original seals from the OEM indicator.

 

Mine have split which is why I got these

I just got my red BBS carbon fiber center caps in... For my 19" BBS LM styled wheels

Red or leave them black?

I got red on my ones - I think they look good, but mine are BBS originals which have a slightly different design.

I'd prefer them in black personally but I'm sure they'll look great either way [emoji106]

Not what you told me! :p

Not what you told me! :p

 

You don't have a red car.

Although I definitely suggested that you should get a black set to match your nose panel Z emblem, or keep the red if you go for a red emblem [emoji41]

Red nose panel is happening! :)

It's a shame the replicas look better [emoji1][emoji23][emoji16]

/me runs!

The replicas look almost the same - that's why they're called replicas! :rofl:

Got these nice new side repeaters ready to fit when it comes back from Keiths

If you've got any idea where I can get the bulb holders with the two lugs instead of three I'd appreciate a heads up mate. I bought a set of used ones and can't find the correct fit bulb holders anywhere. I hoped they'd cone with them but unfortunately not..

Might be a last resort but you could buy those £20 eBay set and then sell the clear ones you got now :S

That's what I was thinking, for £20, it's not even worth thinking about.

For the sake of £20 its worth buying the ones I've got?

It isn't worth the faff over....

 

 

...is what I believe everyone is trying to say! :wack: ;)

To be honest, I bought them from someone on here and didn't expect the trouble. Paid £12 for them and I wouldn't get that for a second hand set without the holders so I wouldn't expect someone else to buy them and end up with the same problem.

Don't feel like shelling out £20 on top for another set so i guess the dremel will have to come out on them authentic weekend.

After all the bloody trouble I wish I'd never bought them! If I'd known they came without the bulb holders I probably wouldn't have anyway!

 

But we live and learn huh? Have to be cautious about who I buy from in future as even the venom lights I bought from a member here have now cost me £80 more than a brand new set from the Z centre..

Getting a little frustrated at being mugged off..

 

:cursing::cursing::cursing:

But you'll be buying brand new ones.....just bloody buy them! :rofl: You'll be a whole £12 out of pocket. £12 buys you.........bog all...or a set of used indicators with no bulb holders for a 25 year old Datsun.

£12 is a lot of money when you ain't got bugger all Si.. Although when you're pockets are stuffed you forget about those not quite as well off don't you...

If you ain't got bugger all, then what are you doing with a highly complex and expensive Japanese performance car? £12 is pittance in the grand scheme of things when you have something like that - that's all I'm saying. :)

Tell ya what, send me your paypal and I'll send you the £12 to help you out. :)

That's one way to end an argument. Nice gesture Si

Hi Si, if I give you my Paypal address, would ya send me £2,500 for a much needed remap and re-spray??:innocent::whistling::biggrin:

What I'm doing with a highly complex japanese sports car is trying to fulfil a dream Si.. Owning something that I've worked hard for 25 years to finally own.

I do understand that due to having next to zero spare cash 3 days after payday is going to mean that I'll watch my beloved car go slowly downhill until the day comes that I'll have to let it go to a breakers yard or allow the parts to be taken to keep other cars alive. It's a very sad truth, but it's the truth.

I bought the best I could in the hope that I'll get as long as possible before inevitably having to let the dream car go, so fingers crossed I'll get a while yet.

There's also the prospect that my driving days may not last long either due to health conditions, so whilst I'm able to do it, I'm owning a dream car from my youth.

 

Thanks for your offer of the PayPal transfer, I appreciate your offer of help, but I'll have to decline. I'm a proud person and if I can afford it, I'll buy it by working for it as I've done all my life..

Never a lender nor borrower be.. Although I'm still paying the loan for the car! Lol..

 

I know what you're saying about the £12 but when you've bought something to save money and find it costs you more it's just frustrating...

I've never sold anything to anyone that I've known is incomplete or broken, yet lately I've bought a string of parts that are far from the description of the sellers..

I guess by now I should understand that the world is full of people who take advantage of others. Thankfully I'm not like that but sometimes I wonder how much better off I'd be if I treated people the same??

 

Anyway hey ho... Another night shift starts... If I do 2 hours overtime I can buy some new lights hey... Lol

I can tell you're frustrated, but saying for example those lenses were not as described, they were sold as clear lenses. That's what they are, it's not his fault for not knowing that they have a slightly different bulb holder (you will need amber bulbs as well) and you also can't blame yourself as you didn't know.

Are we on about side repeaters lenses here?

Alic, I'm not saying that the indicators were not as described, I said they didn't have the bulb holders. As you would expect when you buy an indicator, the bulb holder should normally be present as they are when you buy a set for £20 new..

 

When I refer to items not as described, you'll note if you read my previous post more closely, I was referring to the venom lights I bought on here and various other parts I've bought from many different places..

I bought the venom lights on here and when I received them, 2 of the outer Led rings were cracked on the lenses costing me £80 to replace, also every one of the six centre pot lights which have three tabs on to hold them in place were broken off. These cost me £80 to replace also. All the bolts were seized and rusty which cost me a further £18 to replace. The coating had bubbles all over them and are about to cost me another £40 to have sorted out. Add this to the cost of originally buying them at £240 worth of spares that were taken in exchange then you'll realise that this worked out much more than the £360 to buy a new set from the Z centre...

Forgive me if I come across a little hot headed about it, but when these things happen regularly when you're trying to build a car and run a home, pay a mortgage and feed a family by working 60 hours on nights a week and struggle to get the spare cash to buy the things you want, then you might understand why I feel mad sometimes...

Ive not vented my frustration upon those who I've bought things from, I've just bit my tongue and just taken it on the chin as always, that's just the way I am. However, do forgive me if every now and then I vent a little.. As without it, I'd go off like a nuke mate.. And no one wants that, including me...

Yes mondo.. Clear side repeaters.. I simply asked if anyone knew where I could get the bulb holders for them as they have a two lug bulb holder fitting instead of the three lug ones that are standard fitting in the car..

I'm having trouble finding them is the only trouble and I could do without having to risk dremeling them to fit as they're very easy to break..

The venting session just happened due to some flippant comments that just touched a nerve..

I'm starting to think that forum chats arent for me right now as my patience level is wearing a little thin recently.. Got a lot on my mind so hoping the trip to Scotland for a few days is gonna help before I implode.. :nuke::headvswal
