Yup Everything stock

So pressures lowered, feels better but still not right. I need to have a proper play with the shocks, it feels as if pushing down the car returns up straight away although the rear feels springier than the front. Haven't checked enough to be sure though!

No print outs but I'm sure I can ask for them

Worth saying on a hot day the pressures were at 40 and I lowered them to 36 which did feel a bit better. The tyres were changed in winter so static cold air 36 vs hot day spirited driving 40 then lowered back to 36 in the same conditions MPSS all round yes. Tyres are new from January so have a decent mileage on them ~1000 if not more probably

pressures should be 36 all round, not sure of the geo etc to be honest, it's not lowered so should all be nicely stock. I did swap the arb drop links when I bought the car so I'd hope they were fine but I'll have a look! How best to check the shocks?

Hard to describe this. I recently switched from Falkens to MPSS tyres so expecting an improvement. Now whether I'm pushing the car harder as the tyres are a bit better I'm not sure but the backend feels a bit unstable at times. For example on a stretch of A road if I'm pushing or following another fast car round some medium corners at speed when the back rolls over to the outside of the corner it feels like it bounces back a bit which adds some wiggle. tight corners feel fine as I guess there's the force keeps everything pushed over I didn't use to feel this. I'm guessing it's not the tyres mind! The garage has done a 4 wheel alignment which has definitely sharpened the steering and responsiveness but the back end feels the same not as confident as last year basically. SO what could it be? They've had a quick look at the rear suspension but can't find anything.

I cleaned mine as described and the issue is still there although much less erratic, just a feature of the car I guess!

That would be me

Any idea how strong these are vs the OEM bumpers?

Thanks for all your help.

 

Just thought i would report back to say i have fitted my JDM passenger switch and i now have the Full Auto on the windows , took the opportunity while i had the panels off to respray them due to the dreaded scratches and now it looks fantastic.

 

Thanks again Keyser for your help

Where did you source the switch? I assume to do it right you want two switches, one in the passenger door and one in the drivers door (passenger position)

Wooo, refilling the bottle worked The GF gave me a look after my panic yesterday. In my defence I hadn't realised they don't pop out if there's no water. I assumed they popped out but didn't spray. Any ways cheers guys, cosmetic damage only

I refilled the main tank awhile ago, do the washers generally run out before the main tank? I'll give that a try tonight though

Fair enough, I figured asking what to test is different from it's tested and busted! So people https://www.dropbox....03_002.jpg?dl=0 is the damage, whats the possible reason both sides have stopped working? (Passanger side wasn't hit, I can manually pull the washers out although doing that while someone presses the button doesn't result in water ) also how do I edit my title to reflect we've moved on from testing?

^{They're busted! FOr anyone wanting to follow my saga... http://www.350z-uk.c...n-drivers-side/}

I had a small skid in the ice the other day and bumped into a car in front. Aside from all the other fun my headlight washers have stopped working. Hitting the button causes the usual noises but no washing. Although the drivers side is the one that was hit both of them fail to extend. What could cause both to fail even though only one side was impacted? I can pull them both out manually so the damage doesn't seem to bad (The cover is smashed however) Haven't really looked at this area before so any help would be appreciated. Nice damage photo.... https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwuwp3ghduwdwei/WP_20150203_002.jpg?dl=0

or push the headlight washer button with your lights on?!

Which ones the headlight washer button? Not aware of that one! Mines just tied to the front washers

Shall give it a try! Fingers crossed already got enough to have repaired without worrying about the mechanism

Hi Guys had a nice little bump in the snow and ice and my driverside washer cover was crushed and shattered ( ) I want to check the mechanism itself is working fine however when it chooses to wash the headlights seems to be a dark mystery. Is there a way to guarantee that triggering the washer will cause the headlight washers to also trigger?

Pop the caps off, you can get the emblems off and spray the caps yourself. Did it with mine and it looks much nicer. I actually bought some new caps/badges off ebay for 10 quid just to make sure I had some nice new ones but same effect!

That's my beauty as you say they look flat but they fit perfectly I had the same thought when I looked at them but once they're on they fit just right

Hm interesting! So the grip ratings are totally different even though they're both A's? Sounds like they need an A+ or A*

So new tyre time, Falkens atm and looking at something nicer. Everyone raves about MPSS but looking at the rankings Primacy3's have the same grip but better fuel economy, so what's the story? anyone run both? Also pondering P zero's or Eagle F1's

Nice! what do you use to clean it? Don't really want to spray the engine bay with a hose!?

We'd charge no less than £1800 to wrap a zed, although may go slightly lower for a forum member. I'd personally stay away from plastidip, I've used it and found it to be not as durable as I thought it was going to be but each to their own. To wrap it should take 3 days. On your own maybe 4. Don't use any material other than avery supreme or 3m. Don't use hexis as they're admitting they material is not up to scratch. You'll need heat guns, thermo and wrapping gloves, a scalpel and blades, hexis no 13 cleaner and a dry warm area to wrap your car...should you decide to do it yourself!!...personally I'd go to someone that knows what they're doing. It's harder than you think!! But good luck in whatever you decide to do!!

Is that curb wrapped? ie looks good parked on a street or things like the insides of the doors?

I'm gonna be wrapping my own over xmas lol found the wrap for £245 delivered.

Be interested to hear how this goes! Would enjoy wrapping mine just worried about getting the prep right and removing all the bubbles etc!
