Hi GT4 Zed,

I'm after a bumper washer popper for my '08 zed. Are the ones on offer off a face lift zed?

Cheers,

Geo

Hi Aliensurfer,

ZManAlex was my first port of call but a new pump is £153.27 & I only really need the 2 plastic rings.

If I can't find a 2nd hand one I'll have to get a new one to get through the MOT.

Cheers,

Geo

The pump doesn't have to work as I only need the 2 plastic rings (shown between the green lines) that attach the washer jet to the plastic tube that moves out when activated.

Cheers,

Geo

Hi Zugara,

Driving to & from work I'm normally half asleep. I'll try to keep atleast one eye open for you.

Hi lilwashu,

Nice Zed you have there :o)

Cheers,

Geo

Sounds good! Sunday afternoon any good? Maybe hedgend or something? Any ideas? I'm always over wickham way.

 

Geoler, you free Sunday?

Sorry dude,

Only just read your post. Vacations & work trips are going to keep me busy for a while.

Cheers,

Geo

Spotted one Zed GK08 *** heading to the M27

Spotted another (with exhaust mod) pulling out of Whileley.

Those two & my one all in grey.

You guys on here?

Cheers,

Geo

I live in Fareham & work in Havant.

Busy this week though.

Cheers,

Geo

Gents,

You can get a Meguiars G220V2 for £146.99 (delivered) from Eurocarparts.co.uk with promo code service30. Dunno how long the promo code will last for. I've now ordered one for the same price as a DAS Pro.

Cheers,

Geo

Funny. Till she turns it on you!

She did. I've never moved so quick!

Didn't think this would make a good pre shower wash.

Cheers,

Geo

Follow on from my daughters interest in detailing (link). I thought I'd let her have a go with the foam lance (on Mummy's of course):

Not bad considering I didn't tell her what to do.

Cheers,

Geo

Hmmm...

I did think about giving it a go myself. But scares the living **** out of me that I might render my Zed undriveable or not safe (can you tell I don't get my hands oily).

I'll look around for a guide & see how brave I feel.

Cheers,

Geo

Hi Vik54,

I've seen zmanalex recommend pads & discs in a few threads. I just gotta find an indie I trust.

Cheers,

Geo

Hi All,

Earlier this morning my Zed had its first P3 service. The Nissan garage told me that I need new pads all round @ £364.65.

What do y'all think? Just go with it or look for an indie (any recommendations near Fareham)?

Cheers,

Geo

Kat has just set off from Fareham nr Portsmouth, for Middlesborough, in the Zed to go to a funeral all on her lonesome! I have to work so can't accompany her. Sooooo, if you see a ginger Z, T99 SAF, with a titchy red headed bird driving, give her a wave she won't feel so lonely then She's going A34 / A43 / M1. Cheers.

 

Hi Simon,

I have a ginger Z a wave on the A27 last weekend having just filled up. Got a wave back. Was this your zed?

 

I've done the A34 / A43 / M1 route a few times going to Derby. Nice route but gotta watch those cameras on the A43.

 

Cheers,

Geo

Hello mate, Kat says she waved back at someone the other day, so it could have been I've just put some club stickers in the rear windows, so if you see it again you would see them. Did you know there is a meet at Port Solent at the start of June? Zugara is organizing it. See ya round...

 

Simon.

Hi Simon,

I didn't know about the meet at Port Solent. I missed the one last year as I had to work.

I'll see if I can make this one.

Cheers,

Geo

Two good threads here regarding layering wax:

Testing

Results

Some bed time reading there!

Cheers,

Geo

Edited to remove stupidness. Thought this was an old thread. Turns out I was looking at the members joining date & note the post dates!

Cheers,

Geo

I'm in too.

Cheers,

Geo

Hope she was using the 2 bucket method........

She was using the snow foam run off on the ground

Managed to get her to use the 1BM. Will have to work on the 2BM.

Cheers,

Geo

Got to give my zed a quick wash over the weekend.

Having just dried the car, I turned round to see....

My daughter using one of my brushes to detailer her scooter!

Would showing her how to use the foam lance & clay bar be going too far!?

Cheers,

Geo

1st to second gear change is usually poor when cold. thats the only issue ive had with my gearbox on my 06 uk car

 

i have the actual extended nissan warranty that you can only get when the car is still under the original warranty. Havent had any issues claiming. It is alot of money and i wont be putting it on next year as ive put far tooo much different parts on it now to justify asking nissan to fix.

I'm in a Nissan Centre now & asked about extending the warranty (my zed is just under 3 years old). I'm being told that it can only be extended at the point of purchasing the car!

Oh well.

Cheers,

Geo

You're going to love it. I had to buy my own; although, my Mrs just got me a Karcher extension hose. She must have heard me swearing each time I had to move the pressure washer.

Would it be cheating to use the lance to make it a white Christmas (no snow where I am)?

Cheers,

Geo

With all the reports of how bad the 350z is in the snow, I've been using the Mrs's S-Max.

But this week she's needed it so I braved the ice rink roads round my way.......

Not as bad as I was expecting. I could slip, slide & wheel spin but only if I provoked the zed. Mind you I was driving with as much care & attention that's humanly possible.

One thing we need to remember is not to get complacent.

Cheers,

Geo

P.S. Managed a 180 hand brake turn in the S-Max (empty snow covered private car park) at about 5 MPH. Was such a giggle.

What a cool kart. Nicely split up. Only way it could improve was if the area for the cloths, had a lid on it.

 

Hi bronzee,

It kinda does. The tooltray covers the cloths it's not air tight but it gives a lot of protection.

 

Now if this snow went away I could get out & use it.

 

Cheers,

Geo

 

Thanks for the thread Geo.

 

Mrs has bought me this for Xmas.

Oooooh,

Just spotted you're getting the metal one.

I haven't seen that model. Could you post some photos when you've unwrapped it?

Your Mrs will need loads of wrapping paper as they come in big boxes!

Cheers,

Geo
