Ok so sky or Adrian flux, wonder if either do multi car?

Mark @ abbey's post today prompted me to look at how much a sc would bump up my insurance, easy answer, admiral will not insure with a sc. Rather than phoning a million other companies I thought I'd ask who people on here use? Thanks Olly

stop teasing me!!! You will have a PM soon!

thanks, id love to but I'm working this weekend

Nice

Yea I appreciate that Mark, will just have to get the S/C fitted then wont I!!

I might have to take you up on that offer, will be booking in at abbey soon for a P3 and to have a look at my map. In one of your posts you said that you had hesitation when cranking, I have the same problem, Mark has been great, sent out a cable and we tweeked the maps a bit but I'm still getting hesitation when the car has been driven and then allowed to cool a little. Did you get this sorted on yours?

Spot on, thanks

I'm about 90% sure I'm going to be going down this road soon, need to man up and do it!! How's it going 6 months on, have you had any problems, is there anything you would do differently? I've already had the fuelling done in preparation by Mark so it will be Abbey doing the rest of the conversion ( when I grow some.....)

Hey I've just bought what was advertised as a 2008 Workshop Manual, its not, its definitely pre HR. Can anyone point me in the direction of a workshop manual for a HR Z? I've had a search but its only the earlier models coming up and I'd rather not spend out again to get the same, incorrect, download! Thanks Olly

Miltek with berks hfc sound great

I use blue velvet on my night blue and it comes up peachy. As far as hard vs soft I thought it depended on how you apply the wax, soft if you apply by hand and hard if your using an applicator, stops you overloading the pad with wax....

Me too

I have a 2008 back box and mid pipe, had done about 30k when it was removed, if it will fit yours ( it's off a vq35hr ) then make me an offer

My gf has asked for some silver balls for her birthday, not sure why?

Brake line fixed http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u381/OllyB1982/IMAG0008.jpg[/i] Brake fluid changed and brakes beded in. Big thanks to zmanalex for the bits and answering some numpty questions .

Interested to see what this looks like on a Z

Bigger injectors and updated fuel system will give very little gains without supporting head work / forced induction. I only did mine in preparation for a supercharger, see my garage for dynos

I stand corrected! Update: The passenger side is sorted. Started off trying a nut splitter but couldn't get the necessary purchase on the nut so out came the Dremmel and 7 or 8 cutting wheels later: Its not pretty but its in its original place and solid so I'm happy, I'll give the bracket a lick of Hammerite to stop it rusting when I've fixed the drivers side and bleed the lines.

Think I'll be going for the replace a small section option, pm'd Zmanalex and as usual everything is in stock ready to go, just need to get a flaring tool, think this could get messy! I'll see if I can sort the other side tomorrow, if all else fails I could go for the robin reliant conversion, although I think the handling may suffer!

Zugara - The thread on the new hose looks fine, thankfully. You might be right about the bike monday, I've got a focus derv that i use daily but I think this has a leak in one of the induction hoses, booked it in this morning ( its under warrenty ), doing work on my other working car probably wasnt the best idea! Keyser - It's the drivers side so doesn't look too bad to replace ( although I may be delusional at the moment ). I hadn't thought of just replacing a small section of pipe and fitting a coupling, that might be a solution. Thanks for the responses

Hi all Need some help, I had a day of nothing to do so I thought I'd fit the brake lines that I haven't had time to do yet. Rear lines changed no probs! Get round the front and I round of the 12mm nut holding the hose onto the shock absorber bracket, crap..... So I get a set of mole grips onto the nut and after a bit of swearing, the nuts off. At this point I thought it would be a good idea to try the nuts on the other side and, you guessed it, rounded the exact same nut, this is even after soaking them in penetrating fluid all morning and cleaning the exposed threads up with a wire brush! Trouble is this time the mole grips wouldn't shift it and mullered the nut even more. It was at this point I should have stopped and started again tomorrow, however, I thought I may as well finish the other side and deal with the rounded nut later, so I remove the old hose, start fitting the new one and promptly strip the thread on the compression fitting on the hard pipe! I'm now a bit stuck, brake fluid dripping out of the hard pipe, slowly emptying the reservoir, and I cant get either the new hose or old hose to bite correctly, cleaned up the start of the tread and still just wants to strip itself. So I've fitted a bit of rubber tube to the hard pipe end and clamped this to stem the flow of brake fluid but what now, I need some rationalisation because all I can think is new hard pipe.. Any suggestions of a way forward would be welcomed. Thanks Olly

dont know if you've got mods planned but clear reflectors really finnish the front of this colour off.......

Looking good, best colour
