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:

Yep. That's the one.

I've just noticed your original clocks and the mileage, your Z has only done 47,000km? When I swapped mine out for a UK cluster, I clocked the odometer to match the mileage in miles. You should do it before the next MOT really as otherwise the cars history will start to look sketchy! I took date stamped photos of the 2 clusters next to each other in the car, before and after for my history documentation.

 

I carried out a history check before i purchased the car, which revealed that the clocks had already been changed a few years back. Because of this, and a lack of documentation, the car's true mileage is unknown.

 

I've made a note of what was showing on the JDM clocks before they were removed, as well as what was on the UK clocks when they were installed. That's for my benefit more than anything else. Given the car's condition, the fact that it's an NA Auto, and it has been an insurance write off (thanks to my little mishap earlier this year) I'm not worried about the resell value or how the MOT history will look to a perspective buyer. My plan is to keep the car for as long as possible before it get to the point where it is no longer economical to keep it on the road.

 

Hopefully by that point i'll have a TT that will benefit from an NA rear diff and UK clocks. :whistling:

I have been useing my Z for 2 and a half weeks, so nice to drive it always a shame to put it away, but can't afford it as an every day car.

Lucky the Jag car cover fits perfectly on the Z as well.

Having seen these 'expensive apparently' brackets fitted and commenting i have done something about me not having !!

 

Got myself some steel, aherm....what i mean is some shed door hinges, got these cos they'd be easy to bend but more importantly they were 99p each !!

 

Lightweight sport version brackets these are as well.......hence the need for the holes, no loss in strength you see :wacko:.

 

Some of the more alert members out there will notice how i have harnessed these said holes - hope you all saw what i did there :sneaky2:.

 

Got the Z on axle stands, took rear wheels off to clean up rear discs

Front ones later today

Got mine down to Lee's today for an oil change, winter check and see MOT ready for next month. As always had a good day down there and met a few more fellow Zedders!

As I had the rear wheels off, over the past week I decided to refurb them!

Not a total pro job but pleased with the outcome.

Sorry no befores or afters.

Plan on doing the fronts next so will get a before shot.

How much were the mirror control unit and radio surround from Nissan, if you don't mind me asking?

Mirror control unit came from a friend who knows someone in Japan that had access to a few new ones. About £60 for that. The centre panel is around £120, I bought the screw covers and screw panel which pushed it to about £160

Had to go into the garage to take some meter readings. It seems like such a long time since I've seen the car let alone drive it! Roll on nicer weather ☀️ Although I'll also be happy with bucket loads of rain to wash that nasty salt away first.

 

Yes they look sad locked up for the winter

Better than looking sad outside covered in shite. :D

LOL.......:rofl:

 

But yes, they do look a little sad being tucked away....

 

Sunday before last, I took mine for a blast down the M4 to visit the Bath Christmas Market. And I have been using it the on the odd day I have ventured out since - why not; be rude not to!!

 

But Si is right; the poor Zed is looking damn dirty now - so I will have to give it a good clean on Saturday I reckon:wink:

What's the blank spot for on the wing mirror controls Si?

US models had electronically dampened suspension. So you could change the stiffness from touring to sport

I've put some led's in the control pod's :drool:

 

I took the z for a blast down the M20 to Ashford

What skirts are they Art?

I polished one of my back boxes sent from Alic...looks nice.

Pics ffs!!

Today I gave my Zed a good clean and then parked it back in the garage......

 

.....I have driven around 600 miles in it over the last couple of weeks, so it was looking pretty filthy. Still, it's back to its shiny blue self once more - and will be under its cover in a couple of days. I thought I'd let it dry our properly first...:wink:
