  1. Hey B16REE,

     

    If you want a dremmel-free alternative see below:

     

    Firstly this is the light i am working with:

    ZLight.jpg

     

    you will need to chop the wires on the rear of the light after the connector (see below):

    ZLight1.jpg

     

    following that, change the light (shown disconnected) to a red bulb and connect the wires from the bulb to the ones powering your existing foglight.

    Failing that you could buy a UK cluster with bulbs (from Nissan for approx £60) and do exactly the same! (which is what i've done)

  2. Thanks guys

     

    for reminding me of that day,

     

    paint and match was by far the easy bit,

    all you need is the paint code L40 and any spray shop can mix it

    matching is down to the sprayer/bodyshop skill.

     

    for pro advice you may phone paul coombs of THAME crash repair centre they did the repair & will remember it well. 01844 212798

     

    good luck with your purchase

     

    ps zeds look good in all colours.

  3. Hey Ricky - good to see the car is back B)

     

    We both love that colour - hmm wonder how much a respray costs? ;):lol: my white beetle would look like in that colour - whats the paint code for it? ;)

     

    You did some excellent driving in the Civic on the Hoon matey - hope your going to the next one and also the Wales run?

    Better get my camera ready to take some more pics of it! (the Zed that is!) :thumbs:

     

    Code is L40 mate i've still got 1L if you want to try your more than welcome. (may need watering down)

     

    Nice to see a decent repair job!

     

    How are those arch lips done?? :)

     

    plastic mouldings, approx 1.5-2mm thick. rivited & glued to wings

    pics below

    also sarnie they are fitted by the dealer ;)

     

    the full type G kit consists of:

    1, Flared wheel arches

    2, Rare Rays

    3, Special colour interior

     

    The car is supplied as a standard ST JDM = GT UK version. without cruise, to the dealer. and they fit the above parts to make it into the type G.

     

     

     

    One of 2 in the UK. :-)

     

    Ricky you should have ordered your paint from Finishmaster in the States. I bought a half coke can sized ammount for just under £200 so I could paint my spoiler and had a touch up pen for any stone chips.

     

    Hi Greg - ordering paint from there sounds a bit expensive, the paint is available from Morelli's UK @ £37.94 per litre ;)

  4. Looks really good mate, what wheels are they your running?

     

    Is that a std Z colour, looks fantastic!

     

    "The Fairlady Z version ST type G features are 19-inches rear tires (F 245-40R18, R 265-35R19), front & rear fender moldings (+25mm), RAYS alloy wheels, and exclusive interior leather color. "

     

    Big Phil has priced these for someone else before ;) (they are VERY expensive)

     

     

     

    Looks great! Paint match OK?

     

    This is one of the reasons for the delay as a special tinter was required, but the match is excellent - well worth the wait :D

  5. For those of you that didn't get to see the G at the Hoon & had to put up with us in the Civic, this is the damage that happened on the way. Which unfortunately meant the car was out of action for a little while :rant:

  6. Hi guys,

     

    had a great weekend (after such a sh1t start!) thanks to Stew Jayne and the rest of the team for a great drive and barbeque.

     

    On the subject of next years vehicle, to give you datsun boys a chance i will be bringing my brothers honda jazz!!, :teeth: Only joking, hopefully my zed with maybe a few additions to it.

     

    Must say my fuel economy was good, up until the run to Kinlochewe, where keeping up with you guys took it down to 29mpg leaving me just enough fuel to make it back to my digs!

  7. Hey, thanks to the meet organisers! especially Beavis :thumbs:

     

    Great to meet you all. glad people like the Type G

     

    just to set it straight the paint is Interlagos Fire ;)

    Looking at the pics in his 'welcome' message posts at the tail end of last year the car had a standard square JDM surround on.

     

    For JDM plates try www.craigsplates.com

     

    the front number plate surround is standard the bottom of the plate used to hang until i got the smaller plate (G 7YPE)

     

    The rear is standard JDM also. just all characters on one line

  8. ok cool ill apply the gloss before i wax next time. will look into that other wax, thanks! umm the water remover thing.... what would you suggest instead? its a bril tool at quickly removing water and avoiding water marks!

     

    sounds cool yea the lights are bril so take it they are the new ones (pretty sure)

     

    thanks for the real paint name "brickyuard" :)

     

    dont worry the two bucket method is always used! and yea the megs wash mitts are bril!

     

    havent seen another of the same colour apart from someone with pics in the US (had a kit prob nismo due to it winning some awards)

     

    as far as price. it was a bril buy :p may reveal cost later :D

  9. thanks for all the positive replies :)

     

    it was registered in december 2005 and released in 2006 thas why its got a 55 plate ;)

     

    so whats different about my interior that makes it obvious its an 06??

     

    also my son does all the washing/cleaning and detailing with me. we use a ton of different stuff. that day we used:

     

    auto glym shampoo

    some auto glym water squiji thing to get the water off

    megs speed detailer with the clay bar

    megs wax (some high class one i think)

    auto glym gloss

    simonz window cleaner

    and lastly for the black parts (baseplates) some mix a mate gave me with silicon

     

    not sure what the name of the colour is but the dvla listed it as brown :lol:
