I reckon that could be it then. It does seem odd not doing top to bottom.

Seeing as I've not got any reason to drive her now I suppose I'll just have to wait for some dust to settle on her or something so I have excuse to have another go 

Fair enough. Thanks for the flow rate tip!

Have been using the pressure washer to do the rinse. The instructions say to rinse from bottom to top.. which I find odd. Is that right?

3 of us are following this thread, so hopefully someone comes along soon with an option!

As ballistic says, that was my logic for why I bought a pressure washer, snow foam and decent lance so I could reduce the contact wash.

I realise I'll always be doing a 2 bucket wash after but thought visually, it would look cleaner after the prewash. Maybe it's also because it's a black car and the sun was out so showed up more.

The instructions said 100ml to 500ml water but I upped the foam part to 200ml.

Admittedly I left my phone indoors so couldn't time 10 minutes but gave it my best guess.

Thanks so much for the recommendations. I'll check out Bilt and the citrus options. I have the Bilt claybar and I'm impressed with that so maybe I'll stick with a brand I know.

Hi,

I've used Auto Glym's Polar Blast twice now and to be honest I've been left pretty disappointed with how little it seems to lift the dirt.

Maybe my expectations of foam are too high..

Can anyone recommend an alternative that they've personally used?

Thanks

Yeah.. I went out today and cleaned the Z but was a mission in the sunshine. Would love to do a detailing session under cover

Evening,

Probably a big ask but..

Is anyone able to share a photo of the two electrical plugs for steering wheel controls (audio & cruise)?

Ideally from a 05 prefacelift GT.

I'm trying to compare the wiring.

Thanks

I have two questions please.

1. I have an Eibach front arb - will this tray fit nicely without any interference?

2. Does this bolt up onto the two smaller plastic trays either side near the wheels? These trays are knackered on mine so wondering if I need to replace them as well?

Thanks

Went to my local Asda and the toilet roll, hand gel, anti-bac wipes, paracetamol and soap sold out.. 

There should be something built into the self serve checkouts to block these stupid bulk purchases.

Solved.

Removed the upper and lower cowl once more and as if by magic it clipped back together properly on reassembly.

My tips would be to remove completely and mock fit off the column, check there's no obstruction.

 

Nice work on the new clutch pedal!!

Not a bad shout. Will give that a go, thanks.

Tbh, after the pain of doing the pedal I'd not got the strength left in my fingers to have another go.. 

Hi all,

Whilst fitting RJM clutch pedal I had to remove the steering wheel cowl. After 3 tries I can't get the upper and lower halves to clip back back flush on both sides around the stalks.

Any tips, or just try and try again..?

Still haven't fitted mine from over a year ago now.. need to dig out the install thread really.

Managed to get diff bushes, transmission mount and the subframe collars all sorted in 6 hours! 

 

Always enjoy going down to Newbury and seeing the guys, very knowledgeable and get the job done without faf or overcharging. Plenty of tea on offer and let me set my laptop up so I could work remotely! Car sorted in one day and without wasting a holiday allowance 

 

Will be back soon for my P3! 

Sounds epic. I need to give them a visit.

Couldn't get lockable in the style I wanted sadly.

To be honest who has ever looked at a car and thought 'oooh lovely valve caps' 

The bastard thieves that nicked mine on two occasions..

Rocking plastic ones now and they've stayed safely on the wheels.

I ended up with an RTS clutch kit, TarmacSportz lightweight SMF, pivot ball, HEL braided clutch line, new slave cylinder and Quaife differential.

The setup is good for spirited driving but if I was having to use the zed daily I'd opt for the stock Exedy kit with DMF.

Pulling away in traffic is hard work. Pulling away at pace is good fun. I was thinking one of the aftermarket clutch pedals might help with this though but just haven't looked further into it.

Edit: Forgot I had whiteline diff bushings installed too.

Near Chemsford.

Sounds similar process to the diff mount bushes. They were a nightmare to remove though, so hopefully these smaller bushes would be easier.

Colin,

 

You'd probably be fine with just replacing the bushes on the arms:

Bit of a thread revival.. is it a PITA job to replace just the bushes? What about vs. replacing the whole arm?

(E.g. driveway job)

Mere pocket change.. lol I'd love a set.

What happened for christmas '19?

As per title what are these wheels? They look ace and I saw them on a 350z at japfest last year. Would love a set but realise they're pretty rare..

I bought the uprated ones despite only having a lip spoiler. I basically didnt want the same problem to happen again.. but now it's quite hard to close the boot.

I've fitted that item to mine and it was a straight swap. Not sure about the bolts though.
