Had half an hour or so this evening so decided to try and solve the one thing that's been bugging me for ages. Wheel nuts. I bought a set of these from Driftworks recently:- But then saw how crappy the coloured coating/anodising is, Grundy posted a picture of some recently and they really were a mess after not much use. So I decided to take the colour of the visible end with some 600 wet and dry and it turns out they are chrome underneath. Gave them a polish with some metal polish and the trusty buffer and they look ok to me. Will give them a coat of White Shark Sealant (the same stuff i use on my wheels) and they will do. If any further coating comes off using the supplied spline drive socket taking the wheels off then it won't matter as it won't show.

Will do

Had one of these on the Zed for over 2 years now as my fuel gauge (float) is wildly pessimistic, it's very accurate for fuel consumption, miles to empty, also good for air intake temp, water temp etc.

Oh, and it's greenish

Welcome Dave.

Got the odd stone chip after 2 years but I think they'll do for another year, I resprayed the hubs today as well but forgot to take pictures

Not a mod really, but while the wheels were off gave them a quick clean, wax and polish.

You just need a big breaker bar

Have you had a code reader on it?

Thanks mucker Spoke to ioneabee earlier and he did VHT lacquer his last year. Will 2k lacquer react with the VHT paint?

Don't worry, you weren't the first

Ok, question, should I lacquer the VHT paint on th calipers with VHT lacquer or leave well alone?

The sun is out at last!!! Hope you get it sorted today

That is all

Pester away

It is common for paints to look a very slightly different shade when sprayed on plastic as opposed to metal but that does look unusually mis matched. Sorry I can't be more helpful

It wasn't too bad, had to move some AC piping on the nerarside and the radiator expansion bottle needs to come out too, I expect you will have a lot more hardware to mvoe as it comes out from the top.

Top man Much appreciated mate All is good, I used felt to protect the cooling plate too. Thanks again, I love this place.

A little update, fitted the Mishimoto on Thursday last week, see Page 24 of my build thread here :- http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/58750-how-to-smurfadise-a-zedbrembos-p20/page__st__460 These used to be supplied from Mishimoto with just the cables from the two fans and no connectors. Good news, they are now supplied with Nissan connectors and plug straight into the Nissan loom .

Thank you GMB, really appreciate that. I have no other stoppers at all, is this right or have I misplaced something when I swapped bonnets?

I think I've got one of these missing, should there be one on each side of the bonnet? Thanks

This going to look so cool

I think he's gone back in the loft

Yep, it needs to make its mind up Ha, been out there 3 times today and had to pack up and come in again, i need a Zed Shed
