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:

Yeah, I took a photo of the wrong ones! :lol:

Nothing as precise for me but I did find time to remove my off side headlight, air box intake pipe and front bumper bracket. I’m really happy to find solid metal with every item I’ve removed.

 

the new fasteners are silver plated mild steel as SS would have caused a galvanic reaction

 

Looks like you could use SS fixings with something like Tef-Gel which would mean that the risk of the fixings rusting is removed.

Today, I gave my Zed a good clean, a coating of Auto Finesse Carnauba Crème and then a final wipe over with Auto Finesse Glisten, before popping it back in the garage.... It was certainly needed after covering nearly 900 miles last week, on hols in Pembrokeshire.:thumbup: Car was filthy when we got back - our hotel was in the middle of nowhere, two miles along nothing more than a farm track :oops:

 

Just a couple of phone pics for now - I will post a few more, once I have downloaded from my proper camera:wink:

Took the car out on a lovely sunny morning in Surrey - targas off, audio on! Photos back at base.

The 300zx is soooo low compared to other cars.

This happened

About 6” in the actual length of the car, which is less than it looks. Much bulkier though, they weigh the best part of 1.8 tonnes! Whilst they are more powerful, it’s actually only 50hp per tonne more powerful, stock v stock. Which just shows the impressive engineering that allows that tank to accelerate nearly twice as fast to 60.

I'm stuck with the cheap carpet in mine, but on the lookout for a older version to replace it.

I went to the Kop Hill Climb Festival in my Zed today. Great car show - and only 10 minutes up the road - I can't believe I have never been there before:oops:

 

I reckon I'll participate next year, not to post a fast time, but just for the fun of joining in. No Zed pics today though, but I was in some seriously impressive company on the way in - I mean whenever am I going to see another Senna, actually on the road, again.....:thumbup:

So what does that make my 400hp Z at now then with the hp per tonne vs 09 GTR :whistling: And I bet a lot of people thought I was talking out of my hoop when I mentioned about it a while back, I stayed up with the GTR convoy on are way to Japfeast :yes:

 

And i Still got loads more weight to come out! I reckon I'll be getting it under 1400 kg... I will post up a picture again soon With another weighing.
