  1. Epic thread revival batman!

    Just a heads-up that although the Z and I parted ways last year around June time, it went to a forum member who has been looking after it since. 

     

    Sadly he didn't have the best start to Z ownership, the least of his issues in the last 12 month being a failed alternator on the night he picked the car up, resulting in two of us pushing the car uphill on a dual carriageway in the dark to get to a layby...

     

    Anyway, the car is now running and driving again. Il let @Ottleydrift fill you in on the remainder of the story and to continue the cars "progress" thread if he sees fit :)

    Warning to all those attending the event that whilst all the static speed cameras were turned off in September 2011 due to a disagreement between the County Council and the government regarding cost of maintaining them the Northamptonshire Police Force have a number of mobile speed camera vans which they use throughout the county so for instance if you are coming from the M1 junction 15a along the A43 towards Towcester there will be one on the bridge not far along the dual carriageway as you come around a bend, they also have numerous unmarked police vehicles and being local didn’t help me 😂

    From previous years, anything from around 5 miles out, you're liable to have police, both visible and hidden, in cars and on bikes aswell as many mobile speed vans. In previous years when ive organised a convoy i took the lead as i had experience of where they were based in past shows. They started really as soon as you got off of the M1

     

    Also, ive made a slight change to the list, i am dropping off as my Z was sold 12 months ago, however my place is taken by its new owner @Ottleydrift, not sure if he has any track time booked. I will still be there however, but im not allowed in early in my non jap car lol

  3. Hey guys,

     

    As many of you will have seen, i sold my Z last year at some stage and am now loving my XFR, however that doesn't mean ive stopped work on the Z in terms of mods. Im still working on the launch control system which should be out soon hopefully.

     

    Im still selling plenty of Magical Burnout boxes through my website which has been running for a while (http://cs2000-z-tech.co.uk/) but lately have purchased a vinyl cutter and have been selling Brake Caliper stickers for the XF guys such as the below in a lovely rainbow silver (when the sun hits it):

     

    IMG-5685_360x.jpg?v=1606580372

     

    My question to you guys is, what in terms of vinyl's or sticker designs do you want to see? I have got a few different brake calliper designs ready, i just need to find time to add them to the stores page, but what else do you guys want vinyl's or stickers for?

     

    If anyone wants something custom like an Instagram tag or whatever, hit me up, prices will be cheaper than eBay for the same item and I am using top quality outdoor rated vinyl.

     

     

  4. Well, the time has come, after 7 years of ownership, my longest time every owning a single car (what, i get bored easily), last weekend i picked up a 2011 (2012 MY) Jaguar XF R. This monster comes with a buttery smooth 5.0ltr supercharged V8 with factory specs of 510BHP and 0-60 of under 5 seconds, not to shabby for almost 2 ton's of car B)

     

    After 3 days of ownership, i contacted some well respected mappers in the Jaguar XF scene and had their map loaded onto the car, which now means 570bhp and 700nm of torque. Genuinely a scary thing to drive at speed now, the acceleration is mind blowing.

     

    The Z, by no means is it a slow car, but the XF R simply redefined for me what a fast car actually feels like. After a single test drive i was sold. Its the best of both worlds car. Great amount of interior space for people and things (needed as you grow up and start thinking about a family) but stupid fast for when im on my own and want to have a play. It is sadly noticeably less stiff than the Z, but it really isnt designed to be the same type of vehicle!

     

    In the 7 years of ownership, the Z went from a bog standard vehicle

    IMG_1820-M.jpg

     

    To something i truly enjoyed driving and indeed building. She was/is by no means a show car, shes has tatty paintwork and a smokey exhaust thanks to failing valve stem oil seals, but shes mine and i love her!

    97d7d2b6-7e4a-4424-800d-3fc15841f8db-M.j

     

    I had the amazing pleasure of attending multiple Japfests and met some amazing people there and through this club as a whole. Things that im truly happy ive experienced over the years!

     

    Il still be sticking around the club, some genuinely good people here and i still have my electronics goodies to sell over at https://www.cs2000-z-tech.co.uk/

     

    For now, il leave you with some images taken after 7 hrs of cleaning and polishing the new whip :lol:

     

    IMG_4888-M.jpg

     

    IMG_4887-M.jpg

     

    IMG_4889-M.jpg

     

    The Z is now sold to a friend who i work with, he is intimately familiar with its issues and it will be used and abused by him, just as it has been during my ownership, so at least il get to see it when im in the office! He's collecting it next Thursday, but for now its SORN on my driveway looking all sorry for itself!

     

    :wave: Bye Bye Z, has been a blast!

  5. Right everyone, Kelsey have just announced that Japfest & TRAX will be running together on the 4th of October, so it looks like we will get an event this year.

     

    Sadly, it looks like i would have sold my Z before this time :( Luckily its going to a friend who has been with me to Japfest in the past. Im not sure if we will attend October or next years event, so for now, consider this convoy cancelled.

  8. @Keyser Its been said before i know, but genuinely appreciate seeing your random shed activities :lol: Theirs not a lot happening in peoples lives right now, seeing you occupy your time with the bug, Z-Shed improvements, success or failure genuinely gives me a chuckle. Always like watching you work when ive been down to the shed, so this is no different :) 

     

    As for those Evolution saws, i have one, have had it for a couple of years. It was cheap compared to other brand names models and have never had an issue with (ab)use ! Not that it gets anything like the amount of use as i suspect yours does!

  9. Hey all, you may remember the ever popular auto mirror folding mod, this is a little module that Flyboy and i used to sell, but demand has been non existent for a long long time now so im releasing details on how to do this yourself! This is a copy + paste of the guide i wrote to install these things :)

     

    Tools:

    Philips head screwdriver

    Pliers

    Wire Crimpers

    Wire Strippers

     

    You also need to purchase a universal Mirror Fold module from eBay, such as this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223770257610

    If this link dies, try this search term eBay Search

     

    Lastly, you'll need a bunch of red scotch loc connectors, these are also available on eBay.

     

    Now for the magic, you need this colour coded wiring guide first as a reference.

     

    320337121_1-NY4r7T.png.629485e6b4056e6d54c0286092cd97e7.png

     

     

    Remove Door Card

    Remove the rubber bung and screw in the door card handle/pocket on the driver’s door as shown below

    379021686_2-50DO9y.png.c0a0ebd437185144933af61b24a74ae5.png

     

    Lift up on the door controls piece and remove the two electrical plugs, after this, remove the two screws shown here

    2000397027_3-YRx0km.png.47af4dc6fc56aeaea19bc9529bd26b8b.png

     

    Remove the plastic trim from behind the door handle and unscrew the screw deep inside the door card

    1284678709_4-JKRsLM.png.d69f700d947970056810271ea234cd87.png

     

     

    Pull the door card off its plastic clips around the edges and then once all released lift upwards to remove the lip from where the window glass rolls down. Set aside the door card for now.

     

    --------

     

    Wiring in the Module

    The module has wires as described on the table included in at the top of this guide, connect them as described in the table, or follow the info below.

    NOTE: The photos shown are taken with a DE car, if you have a RevUp or a HR, make note to READ the instructions and refer to the tables at the top for correct colours.

     

    RED WIRE:

    Get the red wire from the module and then locate the thick white wire from the larger plug. Splice these two together with the scotch loc connector.

    1064002424_5-VBBUlw.png.5d883eb7c759af1a67d2094201e4d188.png

     

     

    BLACK WIRE:

    Get the black wire from the module and then locate the thick black wire from the smaller plug. Splice these two together with the scotch loc connector.

    1219490878_6-6x5kk4.png.fb32d7f03eb815878b724aea5cd83deb.png

     

     

    YELLOW WIRE:

    Get the yellow wire from the module and then locate the Light Green (DE) or Green & Black (RevUp & HR) wire from the smaller plug. Splice these two together with the scotch loc connector

    635129659_7-sGDqyV.png.ad2cf0812df677ad0e134cc56518bf84.png

     

     

    GREY & ORANGE WIRES:

    Find the Grey Wire (DE) or White & Green Wire (RevUp & HR) and snip this part way down.

    Locate the Grey wire from the module and connect this to the side of the wire going to the plug. 

    Locate the Orange wire from the module and connect this to the side of the wire going to the car.

    945431615_8-uNAJiE.png.08e2f5f77f2110fd276fdb0890fb6fd2.png

     

     

    WHITE & BROWN WIRES:

    Find the Purple (DE) or White & Red Wire (RevUp & HR) and snip this part way down.

    Locate the White wire from the module and connect this to the side of the wire going to the plug. 

    Locate the Brown wire from the module and connect this to the side of the wire going to the car.

    1134552512_9-UyVcOU.png.d9e94aa8e059291a017ae3d9b84782cb.png

     

    BLUE WIRE:

    This is the only tricky one. You need to remove your door speaker and locate the wiring loom tucked up inside of it.

    Peel back some of the plastic loom covering and locate the purple wire as shown.

    Connect the Blue wire from the module to this purple one using the included scotch loc connector.

    I would advise routing it through this little paper grommet shown here below

    1513989884_10-93hrKw.png.2039cb536cf4d426008a92507a7ac374.png

     

    699856560_11-Q5u0Ad.png.79cdeb914ce3150a3823a0aa2dcc447d.png

     

    --------

     

    Testing

     Tuck the module behind this thick conduit of wire and stick it to the door with the included sticky pad. This keeps the module safe and stops it vibrating in the door. Just make sure the connector isn’t under any pressure as this can make it come disconnected.

    128572321_12-T1OYVR.png.b509c23021a8eaced12095153137f398.png

     

    Re-assemble the door card and try your mirror switch. Make sure the mirrors fold in and out according to the switch.

    Next, shut the door and press Lock on the key fob and ensure the mirrors fold in. Press unlock and make sure they fold out again once you turn the car on.

    If it all works as expected, re-assemble everything tidily and enjoy your new mod.

     

    NB: If once connected your mirror switch works backwards ("Open" on the switch closes the mirrors), simply reverse the Grey and White module wires so they’re connected like this.

    1662348205_13-dYuzqO.png.ec026557563a0b82624255ce01b4d465.png

     

    If you have any issues, double check your wire crimps were done properly. Listen for the relay clicking in the module when you lock and unlock the doors, this is a good indication of whether power is being supplied to the unit and its receiving the lock pulse.

     

    Also refer to the table at the top of this page and identify which wire colour does which function and reference this with the plug drawings just below the table. This should help you troubleshoot if something isn’t working.

  13. Morning guys, i suspect this has mostly ran its course now, but you have exactly 2 weeks until the price goes back up.

     

    I wont be doing a price like this again, so if you want one at this price, get on the list ASAP.

     

    I have 4 modules built and almost ready to go, i have PCB's for another 10-12 which can be made up with a quick component order.

     

    Im sadly waiting on the LED buttons, but after about 5 weeks of delays, ive finally received shipping notifications. 

     

    With all things taken into consideration, i hope to ship out the remaining order by the time the GB closes.

     

    Theirs always space on the list, so get added if you want in.

     

    UPDATE
    I’ve placed a THIRD order for these damn buttons and a couple of days ago actually been informed that 2 of my order have been dispatched. I’m so sorry for the delays, but having the Chinese spring festival and this Coronavirus has really screwed up shipping around the world. They should be here in a few weeks when hopefully this has calmed down, at least a little.
