  6. As said brake fluid is hygroscopic - moisture absorbing, so over time the brakes degrade having the fluid changed will either sharpen the brakes or maintain them in good order at least you can be confident there's no air or moisture in there

  15. it can be done, the zed seats have airbags and when you replace them you have to put a resistor or bridge in the connector to fool it iirc try a search on aftermarket seats on here and my350z.com
  16. unlike a lot of cars the passenger airbag cannot just be turned off, i would try an accident repair center, they must come across this all the time, there must be a way to fool the sensor
  17. Last time I bought tyres no-one round here would fit them for me... that happens a lot mate, i have had problems getting tyres, exhausts and decats fitted in the past because i didnt buy them from the co i wanted to fit them
  18. Applying Dodo Juice soft waxes - hand or pad? There has been a lot of discussion on other forums about whether you should apply Dodo soft waxes with a pad or by hand. Which is better? Which is easier? Which gives better results? Here are some of my thoughts: BENEFITS OF APPLYING BY HAND - Less chance of scratching or damaging panels so long as hands are clean, nails are short and no rings are on fingers - More contact with the bodywork; thickness and coverage of wax can be felt as well as seen - More economical in terms of wax application; less wax wastage as difficult to overapply the wax or overload the pad - Less chance of 'clogging' shut lines with wax - Fashionable technique at the moment and makes your neighbours wonder what the hell you are doing BENEFITS OF APPLYING BY FOAM APPLICATOR - Not so tiring on hands and fingers, especially on colder days on cold light-coloured bonnets - More even coverage - No chance of oily fingers after application (although they can easily be cleaned or wiped and do smell nice afterwards) - Less chance of your neighbours thinking you're nuts Overall, I would say applying by hand on a hot day can be rewarding, but a lightly-loaded pad is all that is required for a consistent and even coverage of a Dodo Juice soft wax on a panel in all conditions. The problem with soft waxes comes with overloading them - the wax ends up in shut lines or is too thick to cure properly, so just gets wiped off at buffing. With a bit of familiarity with the wax, pad application would be the ideal technique - unless you want to freak out the neighbours, of course - but the choice is yours.
  19. when does it clunk ? when you hit a bump in the road ? when you accelerate or brake ? drop links ?
