HEADPHONES

So I repolished one of the headlights and then wiped down with alcohol. Re wiped with water. Then started my wrap. All went well til I peeled off the protective top layer. No bubbles but some cloudy patches similar to when celotape sticks against itself adhesive side to adhesive side and when you pull it apart it isn't clear anymore. I thought maybe I used the wrong lube so tried again with JUST WATER........ May as well have tried using it dry....... total mess Going to order another FOUR pieces as I'm adamant to nail this

With my ever losing battle with oxidising headlights no matter what coating I used after polishing, I committed myself to try a wrap to protect them. Being aware of my limited skills I bought 3 pieces with the plan to try wrapping a spare old rear light cluster I have lying around The size and curves being similar to the front headlights would be a good training exercise. Armed with a heat gun and some spray lube (750ml water and a teaspoon of shower gel) I made quite good progress. Just needed to use my fingernail to tuck the edges in tight.

So then I attempted to wrap the headlight.

After just 3 months both of the products have failed. The Meguiars kit looks marginally worse but I'd say both are not really worthwhile buying again. I repolished the driver's side and left the Meguiars kit for comparison.

I rarely do any motorway mileage in my zed. Just around town and 40 and 50 limit dual carriageway for commuting. I average 18-19mpg

There was an owner at the Midlands meet who had a lovely set of leatherette Braums and said he was very happy with the finish and comfort. His are recliners which he said we're so much nicer than fixed buckets. Not sure if he's on here much but I know he's on the Facebook Zed group.

Good to know there's a good place in Leeds to look after our Zeds. Post up a pic of your Zed all coated up. Can't beat a nicely detailed Zed pic

I found this interesting yesterday and I've never even changed my Zeds oil let alone done any engine work. Thought someone else may too.

Welcome to the OC I've always considered the rx7 one of my favourite car designs. Never even sat in one but those curves are to die for

Congratulations on getting your Zed. Glad it's found a caring owner and getting put back to good health.

I bought a big batch of Eurocarparts. They were about a fiver each. Got an OEM Nissan one now. The OEM one has a greater and smoother travel than the generic ones I too dismantled the switch and find it mind boggling how a simple contact switch can fail but fail they did. Let's hope the OEM one I got lasts at least a couple years

I've had a whole batch of switches go on me after just a few weeks/months. I reckon maybe 5 switches in the past year. Also check that the brake fluid level isn't too low or too high. My last switch change was a few weeks ago and at the time I noticed my brake fluid level was slightly high after a service and brake pad and disc strip and clean due to squeaking.

Good to see you back Husky. Like you say. Time just flies by

I'm really liking bronze rims on a white Nismo 370z. Saw one in the flesh with bronze 20" Rohana rims that was lush. But even with the OEM Nismos in bronze really sets it off.

Congratulations on becoming an owner member Does this mean you'll be coming to the Midlands meet on Sunday 8th August?

Kaleb's a legend. That episode where he goes trying to flog that lump of wasabe is class I'm sure you guys made his day as much as his appearance made yours. "Diddley Squat Farm"😆

With the Nismo N1 skirts I can still use the normal jacking points with a trolley jack, but a hockey puck type adapter is needed to stop the jack arm catching the skirt. Without the jacking puck I got by with using a folded cloth to make a pad to give an extra cm clearance.

Exchanged a wave as she drove past me trying to exit the McDonald's at 10.30am

It's Arnie

I think yours are the OEM NISSAN ones whereas the OP has fitted uprated French aftermarket ones from the link he's posted on his YouTube video.

As long as it's not the same lady owner that I know of who topped up her oil TO THE TOP but to make things worse topped it up via the RADIATOR CAP

That's a great find

Only one way to find out. No harm in sending him a PM.

14N definitely is "da man" for these. I originally had the OEM Nissan one. The 14N one is soooo much more plush. More durable too as my original ones fixings fell apart after a few years whereas Ian's is many years old and still like new
