  1. didn't people tell you not to get an slk anyway fair play for the honest writing...
  2. Right so got 30min available to do the fans today, no photos since I hardly had time to slice the cables properly Any long story short, the guide above was no good once I confirmed my oem cables didn't have the same colour codes. HOWEVER Keyser had provided me with another way of doing this and those colours matched so I went with that, see below: 1. Cut the ends of both wire leads long and short that connect directly to the stock fans. 2. Strip off the black heat jacket. 3. Take Blue wires from each harness and solder them to the Blue wire on fan 2. 4. Take Yellow wires from each harness and solder them to the Black wire on fan 2. 5. Take Green wires from each harness and solder them to the Blue wire on fan 1. 6. Take Black wires from each harness and solder them to the Black wire on fan 1. 7. Heat shrink all connections and then slide some sort of loom over them for protection. 8. Connect everything up and that should be that? Since I was short on time and just wanted to see if I need to order some more bits I decided to use crocodile connectors (hate them...). Once all done I heated up the engine to temp... at 84c (probably before but didn't check) one of the fans where pulling (not pushing...) air through the rad the other one did not, guessing one connection faulty (crocodile tut tut). Didn't have time to troubleshoot. Will be back at it hopefully tomorrow if I get some spare time! (need to be sorted before the 11th trackday either way!). Don't think I'll have time to do my brake duct install though. (might get time to do some minor cutting at the front though ) later A.
  3. Where are the pics? We welcome you anyway... I guess!
  4. I'll take a photo later on today, need to go out and get the fans wired up. That'll be fun again it's flipping raining outside... I'm going to try the below to get the oem harness working with these aftermarket ones, fingers crossed he didn't have his wires crossed when he did his On aftermarket fan 1, the power wire should be connected to the blue wire on connector 1 and the red/white wire on connector 2. The ground wire from this fan should be connected to the black wire and the yellow/red wire on connector 2. On aftermarket fan 2, the power wire should be connected to the black/yellow wire on connector 1 and the white wire on connector 2. The ground wire from this fan should be connected to the black wire and the yellow wire on connector 1.
  5. good news in bad I guess... Well you wont want to drive the Z during the winter months

  9. tjena! =) Just nu bor jag faktiskt på Gran Canaria men flyttar hem till Sverige i början på april och då blir det troligen Örebro men är ursprungligen från Trollhättan. Haha ja Alby är ju rätt tungt område! Irland låter trevligt, hur hamnade du där? Okej, det låter bra, har du företag eller kontakter vad gäller delar? skicka mig ett mess om vad du letar efter så hjälper jag till Örebro, där ser man!

    Brembos to JDM

    that was a class price, for a conversion you need to get bolts for the rear calipers and thats it. well you need discs too (if you had bought the one on the ebay)and pads. if you keep your eyes out you can get a full set including everything you need less bolts for 500£ if you only get calipers... well then discs and pads and I'd upgrade to hel brake lines will get the price up a big bit depending on what you are after. what type of driver are you and what type of braking performance are you after? Depending on that you'll know what type of discs and pads you'd need. All obviously going upwards the more you demand I did the conversion from jdm to brembo and difference is mental once you push on, I did find that with ebc yellows (outside trackwork) they performed ok for 2-3 hard braking with good bite, once they got up to temp... the brakes failed badly, maybe a set of better pads might do you? (what pads do you have now?)
  12. Tja, svensk här också, bor på irland... vart i svedala bor du? alby... rough... finns massor med godis att hämta härifrån, skicka ett pm om du letar efter något speciellt, så jag kan hjälpa till så du undviker en del fällor
