And sold!

Will have a research

Apologies, I bought them for 350z 18" Rays, they may fit the 370z but I couldn't say.

Hmm right. Bit tricky then. No info regarding specifics on the "when and what" for the ceramic. Could just be waxed but not sure. How would I tell the difference? You says there's a big difference between ceramic coated and waxed, but I don't have anything to compare it to.

Satin Silver Z badges, bought from a forum trader about twelve months ago and never fitted. Never even removed from the packaging. These are brand new as you would order yourself. But cheaper! 2x satin Z badge (one front one rear) 4x satin Z wheel centres. Paid £46, will let them go for £38 delivered. Pics below (example pics used for some shots as mine are still in the packaging)

I've recently bought a car that the previously 'detailing fan' owner ceramic coated (told by the dealer). Now I'm looking to debadge it (simple stick on badges, no pins) and I'm concerned that it will leave behind an image of the badges once the ars removed as that area has not been ceramic coated. Can I buff this out? The car is black if that makes a difference.

A little inhumane, but I cant help but laugh at this!

I too am very fussy about stereos and consider looks one of the highest of priorities. I hate that obvious aftermarket car stereo look.

Isn't it a Renault engine?

Thanks guys I'll check both those things! Ian - Is it in the normal fusebox in the engine bay or the hidden one?

Right then! I swapped the rear numberplate bulbs, boot bulb and nap lights for LED bulbs. All worked. Today I realised I'd lost illumination for the standard stereo, the steering wheel cruise and radio controls, and also my rear lights. Any clues as to what's caused this? No fuses in the first two fuseboxes have blown. It was a bit too wet dark and late to check the third hidden one. Obviously I can replace the blown fuse, but has anyone got an idea what caused it to go in the first place? I'm not an idiot with cars so I'm surprised it's happened.

Boody hell that's invisible! Any closer shots?

Perfect thanks

Where's everyone getting their rear washer jet blanks from? I've seen a few for the wiper arm but none for the jet...

Looks amazing. I think RPF1s might be the best wheel for the zed

Progress! Bet you're excited!

Will have another go tomorrow, then try and cut them off haha.

Yeah that was my plan but the on passenger side rear mount I'm struggling to get to the left hand bolt, and the driver's side mount I can't find the bolts lol

Ah that sounds like it's worth more research then! Bob- got any more info on that fortron injector max malarkey?

Struggling with this to be honest. About to cut them off and order new ones. Is there a knack? I've got the driver's side one off by removing it from the mount itself, but I'm struggling with the others. Ive tried wd40, Vaseline, screwdrivers, brute force, invoking spirits, and nothing works. Am I just that bad at cars?

True. I'm less bothered about outright power and more about pickup and response etc. And health of the engine.

Turns out its C5 not Oracle! http://gtechniq.com/products/auto/perfect/exterior/paint/c5-wheel-armour

True but when that comes in a can and the Terraclean is a specialist machine on a trolley then I think there could be some difference. Tempted to be the forum guinea pig.

Slight sidetrack but rather than low dust pads if you treated your white wheels with a specialist coating or something like Gtechniq Oracle (I think it's called) then a rinse with a hose would get your dust off.

Its less a case of comparing an auto gearbox car fitted with an auto diff, to a manual gearbox car fitted with a manual diff, as fitting a diff meant for a different gearbox would have a different final drive (think thats the correct term?). Best way to think of it is in terms of numbers, rather than gears. If you wanted to add two numbers together to equal 10, you could use many combinations. If we say that an auto car is 4+6, and a manual car is 5+5 (the first number being the gearbox the second being the diff). Swapping the diffs would give you an auto car with a manual diff and a manual car with an auto diff. Auto car 4+5= 9 Manual 5+6= 11 Fitting an auto diff to a manual car will essentially give you different acceleration and top speed; however it was my understanding (from other cars) that fitting an auto diff to a manual car improved acceleration due to the nature of the autobox. So using that frame of thought, perhaps it would numb the acceleration and in actual fact give you a higher top speed. However, whether that figure above refers to top speed or a rating of acceleration, who knows! I've only had the car for 3 weeks! All that said, if it was me I would be looking into getting an aftermarket LSD with the ratio to suit, one that locks up better for my requirements. Whatever they may be!
