Afternoon all! Been a while, mercedes specialist?
Hi bud, The clock could just be a glitch & would try removing the cluster & disconnecting it for a few mins. - on comand vehicles the time is synced from the comand which gets the time via GPS. Otherwise could be an internal fault which may mean a new cluster. Would also be worth checking the coding to make sure it knows it's a comand vehicle but you need star diagnostic tool for this. Creaking could be springs rubbing rubbing on lower arms- check for signs of fouling marks on the springs where they sit in the arms. Could also be the rose joint in the hub, a common cause of creaking Paul

My Z is finally taking shape
99 spec rear spoiler all the way! I think it will look fantastic in your colour! I know it's a very personal taste thing but IMO once on looks great! Here's my old zed with one on, I was indecisive about what spoiler to fit but just looks sooooo good IMO!

Replacing VIN plates - anyone done this?
Are you having a Japanese mechanic remove & install every nut & bolt so it's only been touched by Japanese hands?! :shuriken:

Replacing VIN plates - anyone done this?
Bloody hell Si, that looks terrible. No wonder you want to replace it. I would not drive your car until that is done. Alternatively have you considered therapy?! Lol!

Collecting my new car tomorrow!!!
Very nice Richard, the 350 does fly along! I do love the new SLK, just drives so well, inside feels just right. Almost good enough not to want an SL. But I still do LOL! :D

upgrade brakes time aswell
Has everyone forgot about the R33/34 GTR upgrade path - direct bolt on rather than brackets needed, plenty of options on pads & discs out there, reasonably cheap to source & a massive upgrade! heres my thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?150484-My-R33-GTR-Brembo-brake-upgrade!&highlight=brembo+brake+upgrade On my old zed I done a full caliper rebuild with uprated pads & discs and have also done the GTR upgrade - the difference is staggering. Much more confidence when braking especially at speed! :)

Thoughts on this FMIC?
simple answer to intercooler options for the Z32: If you think F&F films are real then get a front mount If you live in the real world get SMIC's :scooter:

Most amusing 'repair' job you've ever encountered?
not really a bodge repair but funniest thing ever was in the first dealer I worked in - we were Fiat/Lancia and also FSO if anyone remembers those! We had a brand new FSO pickup that my mate was doing a PDI on - rattle noticed from the rear. I sat in the back as he drove it around the yard & noise coming from under the pickup floor removed the floor & found about 3 Polish beer bottles in the chassis rattling around!! :pint::rofl:

Good Compression - Head Gasket?? Confused?
Yea, is all we use mate. Top products and far better than any of the consumer grade products you get over the counter at halfords etc!

Good Compression - Head Gasket?? Confused?
May be worth getting a proper rad flush solution in there. Wurth products are excellent pro grade products: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m1b0s4322p54374/Wurth_-_Radiator_Cleaner_-_250ml_-_Radiator_Flush_

what uprated dampers and spring are you using
Eibachs over KYBs were always popular years ago due to cost & availability of coil overs. I would prob just go Meister R coil overs now days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

who has launch control or traction control unit ?
I didn't bother with launch. Bit of a gimmick IMO. With the slip set to max I got the best launches & times on my car when testing. Tried it on another car and wasn't really for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
