^^^Ha! Believe me, there won't be many (if any) updates from me for a while now... the bank balance reads pretty much zero after all of this! :lol:

According to what I've read, the "AVG" setting is for ECUs that are programmed to recognise a dual intake, whereas the "ADD" mode is for those that only recognise a single intake. So my Selin's set on "ADD" which (all being well) will be fine :)

I believe it is, yeah. :)

That would be this morning then! All fitted - took maybe an hour at most. Absolutely plug'n'play and no issues on start up. :) The new Apexi filters should help things along (genuine ones as well) and I'll report on what difference it makes once I've actually been somewhere... maybe this afternoon if the weather holds off here. :biggrin:

She'll get finished one day!..........
Is there going to be anything special about it, shapewise or anything...? Or is it just to replace a worn out one? Drop me a line at enquiries@hidenseat.co.uk and we'll natter more about what you need. :) Cheers.

They're definitely a good bit of kit, Andy. They also open the bonnet a fair bit more than the standard brace does too :) The battery is definitely the wrong one for the car. The terminals are at the front, rather than the back. It's on the list but, as it's not causing me any issues (other than aesthetic ones), it'll stay where it is for the time being. Next job (when I can bring myself to do it) is to fit the dual MAFs, the Selin translator and the new Apexi filters! :biggrin:

My red seats are lovely. End of! :thumbup1: :lol: Regarding the bonnet struts: each one on it's own won't support the bonnet alone... both together, there's resistance when closing but not so much that you have to overly force it. I don't foresee any issues, but I'd already made a mental note to keep an eye on things... just in case....

It cost just shy of £130 delivered. I got the black brackets and then sprayed them to match the car. There's probably better things I could've spent £130 on, but I really hate seeing the normal bonnet stay! :lol: I haven't sent those check valves, by the way - the ones I bought initially didn't stop the leaky washer, so I got another type which seem to have done the trick. I'll send you the link if they work as they're supposed to, mate :)

One rating coming up :) It took about 30 minutes to install, nothing required any fettling or modding whatsoever - all the holes lined up perfectly. New bolts and everything included. The gas struts aren't quite strong enough individually to hold the bonnet open, but both together provide no issues. No clearance issues or anything like that. Just a proper, simple "plug'n'play" kit. 10/10 from me! :thumbup1:

Not sure if I'm going to do the foglights or not... it's certainly not a priority at the moment. But the indicators idea was certainly a good one Si, and that's why I "borrowed" it... :thumbup1:

You're useless, Lee! :lol: It's in Z32 Marketplace, dated 23rd May. If I've just found it (on my phone, no less) then you can! First picture is a bright red plenum. :thumbup1:

Just send her a message on FB and ask if she still has the JDM "lined" indicators. She didn't post any pictures of them, she just mentioned them in her "boatloads for sale" post. :)

Natalie Younger is selling a pair of these indicators, if I remember rightly :)

Nah, not for me. My opinion for my own car is that two-tone seats are a bit fussy, which is why I spent so long finding a shade of Alcantara to match the leather. :) I think there's enough of a contrast with all the dark plastics without needing to darken the seats as well. Plus all the silver paintwork helps the seats and trim to "pop out". Unless the interior's in full sunlight, it's quite a dark leather anyway. It's only when the sun hits it that it really stands out. So subtle and eye-catching in one package. :)

I'm still waiting for your verdict on the interior....!!

This morning's little mod: a pair of WinFactory bonnet struts! I originally bought a chrome one from CeeJay but didn't fit it for a couple of reasons - I didn't really want to be drilling holes anywhere and I wasn't keen on only having the one strut (for purely aesthetic reasons). So I ordered these from CZP, painted the mounts in 673 Silver and fitted them just now! :biggrin: And here's a picture from the weekend as I was waiting to get into Pickering showground for YMS: Even though the wheels are filthy, I really like this picture so I've ordered an A3 print of it :)

Look how much tidier it looks now, man!! Such a small thing makes a big difference...! Good job :thumbup:

Neen's gonna come after you with an axe when she sees what you've done to her garden furniture...!! :lol:

I got it off a local member here, Richie. Just have to figure out these air filters now...!!!

They'll look so much tidier and will tie in with your new 'tache :) Get on with them!! :lol:

Another piece of the puzzle has just been delivered this morning :) But I won't be fitting it just yet... not til I've "modified" it slightly... ;) All will become clear soon, don't worry.....
-

Yes. Spray them all! Anything that can stop trims and whatnot looking tired and/or tatty is definitely worth doing, Lee! :thumbup1:

Boot decal - which colour?
Nah - do what I've done and fit the "Fairlady Z" and "Twin Turbo" decals. Lose the "Nissan" part :thumbup1:

What's wrong with that one, like...?

26th TRENTHAM CLASSIC CAR & TRANSPORT SHOW SUNDAY 21ST JUNE 2015 - "FATHER'S DAY"
I can't make this now, sadly - too much work to do and too little money to travel with. :( If I need to reimburse you for the ticket I'm assuming you've already purchased on my behalf, let me know and I'll sort that out for you. Cheers.
