Car Alarms
Cheers guys, couple of good locations to have a look at that i'd not even thought of! Looking like it's going to be the Clifford as doesn't seem like anyone has the Toad left unfortunately, but the Clifford has good reviews.

Car Alarms
I am looking to have the immobiliser replaced on my zed with a full alarm over the next few weeks but wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I've always liked the Toad Ai606 and had that in a couple of cars in the past, but it seems to be discontinued. A local fitter advises they can fit a Clifford 650, are they any good? I've had a Clifford in one other car in the past and again never had any issues. One last thing.... where the hell do you fit the siren in the engine bay!?!

What did you do to your zed today?
The previous owner did a decent job fitting them but like you say the can hide rust. The plan has always been to remove them for the full respray as want it standard 89 JDM spec body and glass. They look ok-ish but do match a 99 spec front bumper better with the front corner profile, they are the Car Mad ones that were about a while back

What did you do to your zed today?
Cheers Andrew that would be great! Hoping to fit that and get body shop to spray it and sort the rust on the arch soonish. Might turn into a big job though as depends how far rust has gone and sideskirts are also bonded on, but may lose those and go back to OEM. Was looking into a full respray with colour change but think of just getting those bits sorted for now before they become any worse, as planning for a respray is going to take a while getting stuff such as seals together. Plus I want to try and source a JDM 89 front bumper as mine is a UKDM one with the washer jets smoothed but never been happy with it. It was but they imported it from Amsterdam, thought I'd ask on the off chance the other week and luckily they managed to find one. Was delivered in a few days too!

Lower coolant hose fixing
Thanks all, will cable tie it as planning to swap for an alu radiator at some point
-
Lower coolant hose fixing
Should have checked the parts site first, so its the bits I've circled on this pic which then mount to the radiator? : Do these brackets fit the aluminium rads like Koyo etc?

Lower coolant hose fixing
Hi all, could anyone please advise how the lower coolant hose is normally secured on the twin turbo models? If there should be a bracket mine must have got mislaid during the bumper/engine swap years back Cheers, Adam

What did you do to your zed today?
Yes they are, looking to possibly change them as have always had an annoying slow leak from the valves. They have been refurbished at some point so guessing the valves were never refitted correctly. Had them looked at a few times by local places but going to see if a wheel refurbisher can sort the issue, however difficult to find anyone people that will touch split rims nowadays. I spoke to Lepsons a while back who said they still do them. Hope they can be repaired as I really like the wheels but there are some similar options I've seen if not.

What did you do to your zed today?
Finally got round to starting to get the zed back on the road! Discs and pads all swapped, front took a while as a lot of dust build up behind the pad anti rattle plates/guides so had to give the calipers a full clean. Also the Mtec replacement discs for K-Sports don't have the small raised lips where the bell mounts to the disc, so had to fit washers to the caliper brackets to push the caliper out by 1mm and centre the disc. The K-Sports were on the car when I got it so didn't come with the bag of shims you normally get with them, but luckily Toolstation came to the rescue! Oil and filter change done the other day as well as rear discs and pads and handbrake adjustment. Not got much left on the cables so probably need a new set at some point (set handbrake via the rear discs first before the adjuster under the handbrake lever) Just need to sort indicator bulb, undercoat the exposed brake lines on the back (just had small amount of surface rust as plastic coating has come off) bleed the brakes when I can get some assistance and then give it a bloody good clean (look at the state of those wheels!) Hope to finally do the full underside refurb this winter but hopefully passes MOT for now

CZP Double DIN Bezels
Has anyone any experience of the two RHD Double DIN bezels on CZP? : https://conceptzperformance.com/zspec-design-double-din-radio-bezel-w-brackets-rhd-nissan-300zx-z32-z32ddinrhd_p_65155.php https://conceptzperformance.com/interior-innovations-double-din-radio-bezel-finisher-right-hand-drive-rhd-nissan-300zx-90-96-z32-ii-68260-rhd_p_18267.php Going to put an order into CZP over the next few weeks for some suspension bits, so wanted to add one of these ready for a future stereo upgrade

improving sound
I'm also still interested in one but not sure how good they are. My old BMW had OEM ones and it did add a nice bit of bass. The 3 I looked at were: Pioneer TS-WX130DA Pioneer TS-WX130EA Kenwood KSC-SW11 The Pioneer ones seem the same apart from the DA one comes with a remote, the Kenwood one also had a remote. All 3 have similar specs from what I can tell, not seen any in person so not sure how they perform

What did you do to your zed today?
Looking nice Richard! What exhausts do you have on yours? Looking to swap mine out for twin pipes again at some point and they look about the size tailpipe I'd go for

Stolen zed
Great news buddy, hope to see it at the next meet whenever that may be!
-
Getting prepped for the audio upgrade tomorrow.
How did the installs go, are you happy with the underseat sub? Was thinking of getting one of these as the OEM one that came in my old 3 series gave a nice sound. Just trying to avoid taking up too much space in the boot with a sub (don't want anything booming but the Z's normal speaker configuration doesn't give enough bass for me)

Rear Discs & Pads
Thread revival! Finally got around to starting to get my Z beck on the road, sorted front Ksport discs & pads now back to sorting the rear... Has anyone used discs from Brake Depot before - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-Twin-Turbo-Rear-Swirl-Grooved-Brake-Discs-with-Mintex-Pads/293125920174?fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item443faa95ae:g:OFMAAOSwc99eaW9n Visually they match the KSport groove pattern better than the MTEC ones but are more money and not sure of the quality?
