jr6yam Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 As we've had a bit of, relatively. decent weather I chucked a bucket of water over the car to get rid of the winter grime Used Autoglm Rapid Aqua wax for the first time; it's good stuff Also did an awesome bodge to fix my blowing exhaust, involving a Jubilee clip, a spring and some chemical metal (A Milltek system is on order)
Zeezeebaba Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I clayed her today and treated the seats to some conditioner.
HEADPHONES Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I had already used a clay mitt and C2V3 on the zed 2 weeks ago so today was meant to be just a quick wash and tyre shine. But as it only takes 10 mins to apply C2V3 I couldn't resist slapping another layer on.
Olly350z Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 As dirty as it was having been stored for two months over the Xmas period, I couldn't help but take it for a blast. Completely renewed all my motivation to get things moving
Science_GT Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Spent the day clean, polish, cherry glaze and wax! Oil/filter change (decided to wash my hair in oil too...) painted the flaking wiper paint too!
Ricksta1980 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I installed a D1 throttle controller, loving sp10 !! 1
Stutopia Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Don't we already have one of these or have I missed a subtle difference? http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63759-what-mod-have-you-done-today/page__st__1380 1
xxx180 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Full cobra non res fitted Friday. Oil, filter and plugs changed Saturday 👠Oh a wash and Hoover as well 😂

reeceybeaney Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Full on wash and wax treatment and a good cruise along the south east with the other coupè in the household... shame the 350 can't quite keep up with this when going for it! Edited February 19, 2017 by reeceybeaney
andy james Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Took my Turbosmart BOV off to give it a clean lube as it stuck open on the way to Ace Cafe yesterday so my Supercharger was blowing compressed air down onto the front wheel! All sorted now. Maybe the GLC could give me a job as a road sweeper......
Xelotath Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 This weekend was a wash, polish, and wax, together with a bit of attention to some stone chips and conditioning the leather. Spending some hours properly cleaning the car is quite therapeutic, must do it more often...
SHEZZA Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Fitted a new battery followed by a wash and a quick detail.
zxrjohn14 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I removed all the broken panels, wheel assembly and fitted the new/second hand stuff to it.

lance350 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Finally fixed my window washer jets after reading on another thread about the one way valve thing getting blocked.

Jay84 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 This appears to be more 'whos washed their Zed after winter' thread
Strudul Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Don't we already have one of these or have I missed a subtle difference? http://www.350z-uk.c.../page__st__1380 Well the subtle difference would be that the other thread implies it is for mods and therefore doesn't allow posts about washing your car. If you are willing to overlook that and / or allow a wash to count as a mod, then I think you can go ahead and merge them...
davey_83 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Developed a very annoying metallic rattle from the steering wheel and instrament cluster area. Turned out to be the three 10mm's holding the ECU in place had come loose, yay easy fix. Next up, intermittent clonking clutch pedal.
Aashenfox Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Spent 400 smackers sorting out the abortion that was my stereo setup inherited from the previous owner. It's nothing special now, just a boggo single din bluetooth Sony jobby, but what they told me about what was going on behind the dash and doors was frankly scary. Ended up needing to replace the existing (Chinese) aftermarket amp with a nice focal unit, that's just driving the sub for the time being, I don't need mega power. The standard speaker outs are now going to what were (pleasantly surprisingly) a nice set of Focals behind the seats (the guys fitting the stuff couldn't believe it, suddenly in the middle of this debacle was a single pair of sweeeet speakers. Hey, my first bit of good news from this car), and some Chinese tat in the doors. Replaced the tweeters cos one wasn't working. apparently they were little better than a PC motherboard speaker, so thank god one of them wasn't working . Inherited aftermarket sub is Chinese but working fine (another pleasant surprise), and I have a listenable system in the car for the first time since getting the car in September and a new dash cubby! Yay! Edited February 21, 2017 by Aashenfox
jr6yam Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Had the Milltek cat-back system fitted today. Car seems a bit livelier, but it could be my imagination Also clutch fluid and oil & filter change. MOT passed; good times
