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:

Had a friend of mine wrap the roof bars in black and also the part under the rear wing and I finally got to mount the Nissan and twin turbo stickers ?

Great mod [emoji106]

well oil pipes turned up today from tomomontana (fantastically quick delivery :clap:) so i'm busy plumbing them in, missing several bolts somehow even thou i put everything in a plastic bag or left them screwed into the car it must be the borrowers

 

After checking every pipe and clip about 10 times i filled her with oil and coolant and ..... no leaks :clap:

Pm (adl) phoenix

 

He should be able to find some, and he sold a set of new ones a while back.

will do cheers

Spent the morning with a guy from the Facebook sites removing the wiring loom from the breaker, then finally decided to have a go at fitting the new trims I bought..

 

Wasn't too bad a job apart from one side being particularly stubborn about not wanting to clip in to place at the top, but brute force and ignorance prevailed.. :biggrin:

 

Looking much better.. Just the targa trims to do now!

 

Also used some tar remover on the tired old rear screen edging trim. It actually removed a lot of the grey/white and brought it back up to nearly black..

Some trim gel afterwards and it's also looking much better!

More wax going on to get it ready for the JCC show at the Titanic Exhibition Centre and of course our AGM and show.

Looking forward to seeing you and your Zed at Coventry Gary.

Can't believe it's been a year already.

Good luck with the MOT mate.

I agree, it is bizarre. ACPF is generally the cheaper option but it's also worth noting that it will pick up parts from other manufacturers that NG won't. For example I wanted some fuel hose clips to refresh my fuel lines, on NG they were around £2.50 each whereas on ACPF they were £1.28 each but showing as a Renault part. I called them (very helpful guys) and they confirmed they're the exact same part made in the same factory and it's not uncommon for manufacturers to share parts and part numbers.

 

I purchased 20 clips which came in bags of 10, one of which was a Renault bag that had "made in Japan" printed on the bag and the other was in a Nissan bag! I generally only use ACPF now for these reasons.

 

Much neater (and more secure) clamps than the old screw type. On order too.

Checked spark plugs. Found the gap to be in excess of .100" on all 6! Plugs also felt finger tight. Gap now set to .035" (1 bar boost) and torqued to 30Nm. Before and after pics:

I'm sure that's the case but it will do for now until I get a new set. [emoji6]
