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:

Some fresh blood today to accompany my recent power upgrades. A road trip to Jimmer's is on the cards tomorrow for a smoke test, hopefully a clean bill of health and a couple of other bits and bobs.

 

 

 

 

 

I also found the last piece of the puzzle to retrofit my cruise control. The harness that goes from the actuator in the engine bay to a plug in the cabin was on a spare loom I have in my Z cave. It was part of a main body harness so I carefully unloomed it to make a separate retrofit harness. The 3 blue wires will be de-pinned and installed into my plug but I've left them all in for reference.

 

took a brake from the oily stuff today and hid the turbo timer and an alarm window controller box, and also installed my DVR camera its USB so plugs straight into my android head unit, bit of of pain taking the roof lining of and A pillar to feed the cable through

 

Best place to hide the turbo timer is the wheelie bin. :)

Yesterday I went on a road trip to Jimmer's for a smoke/boost leak test, replacement hicas ball joints and a 1 piece prop.

 

 

 

The jury is still out on the 1 piece as I suspect some prop generated resonance at high rpm has been induced into the cabin but I need to confirm. I have a few other niggles to take care of as the car isn't running quite right at the moment but no time to investigate before Beaulieu.

 

Today I took the car for an alignment on the hunter to setup the replacement hicas tracking:

Its that time again

That is why Nissan designed and fitted a two piece prop with a damped bearing... to reduce NVH. If you replace a two piece with a one piece then you simply reintroduce it. You dont need a jury to discuss it. Its an engineering fact.

Even my super light carbon fibre SWB prop does it. It will simply be more noticable on your longer prop.

Good luck Ian :clover:

All passed so now to put some miles on her and swap the interior i bought off keith into it. Also a visit to baz for an r33 gtr brake upgrade

I've been a busy boy today and yesterday.

Donor is totally stripped inside and started removing parts from outside. Namely passenger wing for Ali.

 

Looking at what I've done and what I will be doing. My new project thread will be named Frankenstein. As I'll be making a Jap chassis run with UK loom ECU and clocks.

Stand by for some write ups when I do it.

Makes complete sense Pete......:cool:

Most work I've done to my car in months...

[emoji29]

been busy playing with my plastic welder repairing my old dashboard it dont look to pretty but its solid and u wont see it when the stereo din goes on, the mountings for the clocks were smashed so i am having to weld a slab of plastic to it

Nice work GeeDee keep at it mate.

Just changed the gearbox oil in the driveway. Started raining as soon as it was drained, so that was fun.

 

Magnet was clean at least.

On the plus side, Motul Gear 300 is MUCH better than whatever expensive Castrol gearbox oil I used last time!

Trouble free journey back. Love it when the car fixes itself :)

well after finaly repairing my old dash time to pull the car apart ... again :scared:

well i wrapped my radio bezal as i wernt keen on the black

I took a gamble to fit some wider tyres on the rear, but they rub [emoji36]

 

 

And whilst I was there I had it back on the hunter for a fine tweak!

 

 

If anyone is local to me, the guys at tyre-smart in Witham are excellent. My new "go-to" place for anything wheel, tyre and tracking related.

Shame, they look better also.

Where is it rubbing Joel?

Been having to change some of the routing of wires in my footwell for the traction control. Been a bit faulty at times..

Where is it rubbing Joel?

 

At the back where the little return lip is for the bumper mount. The arches are rolled up to that point but this is contacting the tyre on compression. It's not even the tyre wall, it's the top corner area of the tread about 7mm in.

Just here but on the inside edge:

 

Ah that little sucker. That's one of my next little jobs. I can't correct my caster because of that nob ATM. You can trim a lot of it off.
