  1. As mentioned above, all waxes are different, some you can layer almost immediately whilst other require longer between coats. I can't really add much to Ekona's post really, other than the question regarding gloss which will come down more to prep. than to the wax on top - although difference waxes will give slightly different finishes. With regards to "what's best", that depends entirely on both you're trying to achieve and personal preference really. Give this a read through.

    They had to stop that and go back to a code system, which is here; http://www.350z-uk.c...-forum-members/ But as ph 7 said, they're usually running some sort of offer and these occasionally work out to be the cheapest option (if they can't be used together).
  3. No problem mate, let us know how you get on - maybe go and add the solution to all those other threads when it's sorted too.
  4. Yes, it's on top of the gearbox. Scoobynet might be able to give you some better advice than me and help to narrow it down, maybe even save you a few sensors.
  5. The only other thing that's not been mentioned so far is the NPS, this tends to leave misfire codes. The ECU will learn to compensate for a MAF if it's dead, and IIRC correctly it doesn't usually get flagged by the ECU (certainly not on the classics at least). It can cause a misfire if the ECU's over/under compensating for the measured air flow.
  6. Just seen your edit, intermittent knock sensor is usually a faulty connection on the sensor itself.
  7. Did you test the MAF when you cleaned it? Easiest way to do this is simply unplug it with the engine running, if the engine stalls the MAF's fine, if the engine still runs then it's dead. My next port of call would be to test the coil pack, as suggested by Ekona.
  8. What MY is it, to start with?
  9. Just out of interest, how much fuel did you have in the tank? IIRC, the 80 litre difference between full and empty adds just under 60kgs on it's own.
  10. It's just a visual inspection - does there appear to be a cat present? Check. Move on.
  11. No. IIRC the sizes are; Brembo, front - 120mm x 74mm & rear - 76mm x 65mm Non Bremo, front - 137mm x 53mm & rear - 105mm x 35mm. So not even close.
  12. There's a selection of Nanolex products aimed at matte vinyl too; http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/nanolex-matte-paint-and-alloy-sealant-cat12.html#aMasterNMPA0000

    I think there might be one or two pictures in this thread.
  14. They're not quite the same thing though, one's an all-in-one glaze/polish/sealant, the other is just a glaze.
  15. I've just ordered the next one, they're selling extremely quickly again this month - according to the counter more than half have sold already, in just 8 hours!
  16. (back), I believe that may have been me.
  17. Are you the same J4cko of Scoobynet fame?
  18. Agreed, another good box - good to see Gyeon getting in on the act too. No prizes for me this time though.
  19. When cornering too enthusiastically, you enter the corner facing one way and exit facing the opposite direction; 'reversing' is the technical term for that last bit, which was entirely intentional...
  20. Megs will give a more matte finish if you buff them about 10 minutes after application.
  21. I'm surprised no one's mentioned Megs Endurance yet. Although I quite like the Eco Touch Tyre Shine too, but I'm not sure on the durability of this yet.
  22. If you're used to a liquid wax (the Tech Wax), I'd recommend looking at Dodo Juice waxes or Poorboys Natty's Paste waxes as they're ridiculously easy to use And won't break the bank if you find you don't get on with them.
  23. Those wheels. Those doors. Those rear lights. That... thing on the boot! Oh and, No head unit though...
  24. No, no, no. You just need to get another car to use all the other products on. Polished Bliss do a number of Nanolex products (with price match and free delivery too), which I've only tried a couple of and liked but PB have always been spot on with their assessment of products, so if it's good enough for them...
