mine done this not long ago. i stripped all the trims of and cleaned them and cleaned all the drain holes never had a drip for ages, has now developed a new one at the targa which im going to use the above mentioned crack cure for

well for the second day in a row my gf conveniently missed her bus to work just happens im done for xmas so was able to take her, since the z has no wipers im driving the van got into the town she works in and the police zapped me doing 38 in a 30, then i never noticed the officer trying to tell me to pull in drove right past him waving his hands at me lol saw in my mirror pulled over, realized i wasnt wearing my seat belt lol quickly put it on. gf rolled down the window he told me what speed i was going ect then asked why i didnt stop. said i was listening to something on the radio he just looked at me and told me to drive slower and off i go. couldn't believe it they arent all bad after all. would probably have been given a ticket if it was the z not the van mind you

iv got the pads you have the now and the squealed like mad for about 2 month then just stopped one day run perfect now

yeah going to change it just cant find anywhere local to get one going to try and reinforce the broken one with metal plates tomorrow

yeah running fine with the bits removed attempting a temp repair to it the now till i get a chance to go and pick a new one up

took the top off the housing for the motor and the large plastic cog was in four pieces and jammed in the other cogs thus stopping them moving am i able to get another cog or just replace the whole motor

checked the wipers today and the linkages are all ok so im guessing it must be the motor that is away cant here it going when they are turned on. how do i romove this?

iv only been pulled over a few times in the 3 years iv owned it i found for the first while of owning it the police followed me for a bit when they saw it just cause it was a new car around here, ok now though

as some of you know i got my finger out and finished my ipod holder, as it sits the now you push one end in so you can get it out from the other but what im thinking is getting on old electric wing mirror and a set of the switchs for it, strip the old mirror down and remove the motor from it that makes it fold in and use this to move a plate under the ipod so that it pushes it up for me, to control it id take the switch out of the controls that would normally fold the mirrors in fit it into the spare space on my existing controls like in the pic below thus being able to press it to lift it up ect. what do you think worth it? will it work? or just leave it lol

cool cheers mate will have a look after work tomorrow

cheers will let you know, what will i be looking for or will it be straight forward to see

mine does this to pain in the behind have to lock the drivers door internally then lock the passenger door with the key

yeah going to do that tomorrow to dark tonight

well been having a bit of a problem with my front wipers for a few days now but they have eventually given up on me. they were giving a bit of a clunking noise when the left the bottom of the windscreen now they have stopped working altogether. also they now move freely when i push them. thinking its just the wiper motor what do you think?

yeah will do finish up work on thursday so will have some free time so will get a tutorial written up after that

i thought about going down this route was going to install a touch pad thing like you get on the laptop where the ashtray was. but just got so much other things i wanted to do to the zed so this was easy and effective

can look into knocking up a few more after xmas if people are interested now that i know what im doing with it it shouldnt take long, the unseen bits are not that neat but if you dont mind that then its fine. all you need to do to get it fit is romove the ashtray and cut away its holder but leave the screw that holds the trim down i could make a tutorial if people wanted

yeah tell me about it think thats about my 6th or 7th version i have made lol

:rolleyes: na lol thats just my timberlands lol

yeah there is a space cut out inside that the wire and the connector comes through so you just pull it out conect it then feed it back in. getting a retractable lead for it though so that it just goes back in on its own without me feeding it

the ipod is knackered the now dropped it in the bath but il post up a pic when i get my new one

got it from ebay a while back was about £50 they come up now and again on there think the ebay usa have them more often

its connected to the head unit through a rgb lead that plugs into the bottom of the ipod so i can watch the movies on the ipod or listen to the music through the stereo. was only a few pound for the lead from ebay

yeah lol thats what i said, he just done it to wind people up he said lol he was right into his skylines, mad that he can do that to cars now he is back fitting kitchens though lol

na it has foam underneath it so u push in the bottom then u can lift it out at the top
