Engine out!

Do you have an NA or TT?

Interesting car. I've never made my mind up on the styling on the CLS, they look somewhat 'saggy' from side profiles.

Momo race? Actually I don't mind them, but I don't think they suit the Z (or rather mine). Mine came with it from Japan.

Had 2 in my car. I prefer the old-skool style, as it ties in with the car's design/period. This was the first wheel I had. Bought this but never fitted it. This is the wheel I currently have.

Tried PMing you.... but for some reason, it won't allow me. Most odd.

I agree and I would ALWAYS suggest a high gloss black to match the shine of the glass AND the door pillars.

Hell yeah! Need my feathers clipped though! :lol:

I have photos of Jimmer's, but not any that show the roof. His is satin black from memory.

Just get that darn thing painted! I wanna seeeee it! :)

Chill out. I am just going on evidence and trying to help. Blimey! It is factual. Short trips promote condensation build up in the engine. It's industry known!

You know you could fit drilled UK indicators. Jus' sayin'. :)

Yeah and I am saying that a lot of people don't have their cars taxed for the winter, so starting it up and leaving it to warm up is NOT a good thing to do. IMO, neither is driving it for a few miles once a week.....and that's actually factual. It'll cause a build-up of condensation in the heads as it won't have chance to burn off. So it's not about agreeing or disagreeing, it's about what actually happens. :)

Awesome! Get some perspective shots though as that'll compliment the kit far more than any other bumper IMO! When you get the bumper painted, get some replacement foglight glass from Z1. It'll make the front end look crisp and fresh. :)

I still wouldn't do it. But there ya go. Few miles isn't worth it still. For those that have their cars SORN for the winter, it's not really an option.

I would advise against doing that. You're doing more harm than good; unless you're going to actually drive it, you're just wearing out the timing gear and introducing condensation to internal engine components and connectors. Starting a car up from cold to leave it to come up to temperature is the last thing you want to do. So many people do this thinking that they're doing the engine some good, whereas in actual fact, it's completely the opposite. You have cold oil sat in the sump at low pressure (relative to temperature). The top end has NO oil it it and you're just scraping metal against metal. No amount of Magnatec is going to help in this situation. lol

Fine! Here's a finger! :p

How long are you going to keep it in storage and how dry is the garage? Unless you're going to leave it for a year or something, there's not too much you need to do, it also depends on the condition of your garage too. I store mine every single winter and it never gets left out overnight/damp conditions unless I am overseas with it or get caught out. My garage is an integrated sealed garage, so no moisture gets in, it's bone dry. I don't really need to do the following as it's so dry in there, but I crack the windows (actually I think they're fully wound down at the moment), I have a dust sheet draped over the bonnet, roof and tailgate. I've also disconnected the battery. That's pretty much it really. I leave the tank almost empty (don't want a whole tank of fuel to go stale) - having said that, fuel takes a lot longer to go stale in colder temperatures. I also leave the handbrake off and the car in gear. Car sometimes gets wheeled out during mid winter, but that's it. I also make sure the tyres are correctly inflated with slightly more pressure in them.

Least you can't see the dust on mine! :p

Rubbish photos, but you get the idea....you can see the button on the headlight switch of the UK labelled pod. UK: Jap:

As above. Core/capacity and pressure drop all factors when looking at replacing the intercoolers. Personally, I'd stick with decent known brands. Z1 do an excellent SMIC upgrade kit. Personally not a fan of FMICs.

They should have their own button incorporated into the light switch on the right hand pod. If yours have been replaced at any point in its life, it's likely it could have been replaced with a JDM pod which is just the light switch on its own.

Wow, I am amazed at the problems people have with SUCH a simple feature! Sometimes I despair for humanity! :lol:
