    LED indicators

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    Has anyone tried to see how they work? I'm sure they will fit (581's) but are there any you can buy with build in resistors that will stop them from flashing too fast? I have seen error free ones, but apparently they won't stop the over flashing, but will stop any warning lights coming on?

     

    I know I could do the easy thing of getting silver bulbs, but I fancy something a little different and LED's would match the side lights.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Type LED bulbs in to ebay search, and there are loads that come up. In the description section it takes you to the home pages with all the info on including the info on the resistors :)

    Nice, getting a different car is alway fun - especially older ones which represent a bit more of a challenge :lol:

    Fancy making a few mods? B)

    I would love to, but time & money are the key factors here. I need the liquidate as much as possible before the big move.

    But your right enough, I am still having some fun with it!!

    Saw a left Hand drive Cosworth on EBay for £24k yesterday!!

    Hi all

     

    As some of you will know, there are a lot of changes afoot for me, notably a move to Canada in hopefully the not too distant future. As part of these plans I quit my job last week and as such the company car went. This led me in to a bit of a dilemma which involved me having to buy a car, for the first time in some years. It had to be functional and sellable (quickly) and above all cheap!!

     

    So after much research I picked this up from Scotland on Saturday, I have been cleaning it ever since :wacko:

     

    I interred .........the "SHED ZONE" :lol:

    In not too bad nick, a few scabs here and there, but the paint finish was "matt" to say the least.

    So a full day with Autoglym's paint restorer & the two coats of Autoglym polish resin stuff!

    Day two:

    The interior was minging. There where some very suspect stains in there too. I was reminded of the Top Gear episode when they did a CSI on some old cars they bought :scare:

    Took all the seats out, and hoovered first. Then used a household stain remover, then a Turtle Wax carpet

    shampoo, finally re hoovered. Quite pleased with the results TBH.

    Tackled the boot yesterday. Some dampness in there to be sorted, as the spare wheel (with a brand new tyre on!) was very rusty as was the tool kit. So cleaned it all out and refurbished the wheel (a bit not OTT) and the tools. Not a nice job but pleased its now done :yawn:

    London Bars and Restaurants

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Awesome Asian food can be found at Ping Pong which is a pretty stylish restaurant by the royal festival hall, pretty much on your door step. Also forget the OXO tower and head further along the south bank for the Tate Modern, the bar and café\restaurant on the top floor is open fairly late has awesome views for about a 1/3rd of the price.

     

    The beer garden setup at the Udderbelly comedy festival, also on southbank by the London eye is also pretty cool and a bit different. Loads of patio heaters too you'll appreciate at this time of year.

     

    Head over to Leicester Square and Piccadilly for random bars and restaurants - a friend rates the Aberdeen Angus steakhouse and there are some decent Irish bars around there too.

     

    God damn it you beat me to this one.... I took my wife up the Oxo Tower for her birthday, but i think on refelction, she would have preferred flowers.......... I thank you... :lol::lol:

    freemasonry / masons

    I know a fair bit about it and have been asked to join but it isn't my bag. The secrecy thing does lead to a lot of suspicion and criticism but to be fair the Masons don't respond to the critics, despite there being nothing to hide. I respect that, and the fact they do good things for charities and local causes - they don't advertise that either ;)

    Ultimately though, the whole tradition / rituals thing isn't my bag. I find a bit embarrassing TBH :thumbdown:

    Im in the same boat... and I agree... :blush:

     

    +1 I was recently approached and I went along to a recruitment evening. It was quite nice, like going back in time 120 years. But I just felt it was something your dad would do and I am not quite grown up enough just yet! :blush:

    .... apparently they are not that good to drive :scare:

     

    They were originally, as they were based on a lotus esprit chasis, but for some unknown reason they raised the front end of them just before it was launched, which totally screwed up the handling. A lot of owners drop the front end back to how it was designed originally.

     

    Performance wise, they are slow as my lawn mower as they are quite underpowered. I think its something like 150hp for European models and 130hp for US models with all the extra anti pollution control on them.

     

    Renault V6 I believe :dry:

    Is the Zed a 'masculine' car?

    in 350Z General

    I'd say both the TT and Z4 are unisex...

     

    Hmm, I think the TT is solely feminine. UNLESS... its a TTS 272 or the RS, the extra aggressive bumpers help, but the boggo standard TT with the basic small 5 star wheels looks... well actually rubbish lol It looks as if its aged already. lol

     

    Yes I think the New TT is less girly than the first one, and the TTS is more aggressive. The S3 would have been the chaps choice between the standard TT and S3 IMO :teeth:

    The Zed is a blokes car, which my wife aggees with. She would rather have a Zed than a TT though :shrug:
