Sargara Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Spoiler looks good on your black car i reckon, I'm on the fence about the whole "double spoiler" effect though, it put me off the Strosek spoiler Tarmac used to sell for that reason too. I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person at the Cooper arms (ps. would have looked better with my spacers fitted!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay84 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 MOT day today. Nearly failed because i forgot to reconnect the hazard switch when i fitted the stereo. Other than that, straight through with no advisories...although we did emissions twice because of the HFC's not being hot enough. If I get ramp time later, its clutch slave fitting time as the pedal looses some travel on longer journeys. I also seem to get a minor clutch slip randomly, but only 500ish rpm, but then it snaps back, hoping the clutch plate isn't on its way out too. My usual experience of worn clutches are the speed catches up to the revs, this seems to be the opposite like the plate is losing pressure then getting it back again. Slave is cheaper than clutch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ok, so after deciding I don't need an exhaust for mine and that the HFC's were enough, I'm looking at Cobra resonated or Scorpion. I don't want it too loud, or to spend much over £500. I've been a little put off by the Japspeed due to fitment issues. But i'm happy to be convinced. Any other suggestions and links would be appreciated too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to wash and polish, just soaped her up and a tropical storm hit, so no pictures yet. Before it started raining I went to sort my boot opening. Step one was to adjust the latch mechanism. I stripped my trim down, and found that the latch mechanism bolts weren't even tight. Positioned it up nice, tightened it up...no difference. Step 2 was to adjust the boot stops. It was here I discovered my n/s boot stop is missing. So rather than do anything to the o/s one alone, I figure I'll replace the missing one first to see if it makes a difference. A quick pm to zman and jon at emperor and now to wait... Sorry to quote old post! I'm planning on removing mine on the weekend - It's pretty straight forward from the looks of it. Did you just double sided tape the reg back on to the front bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yes mate, its just a couple of screws in the plinth, then i used number plate fixing pads. I need to move mine down a bit at some point as its a little high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay84 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 This is a shot that makes me think it should be lower by a few inches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Du Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yes, I like that mate, might do mine. Is that the stock ride height? I think I might be at about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Stock ride height mate, I meant lower the number plate a couple of inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Du Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Doh! Yeah you could be right. Might be nice 50/50 over the air channel. Or might not. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well, we're coming to the other side of winter, and I decided to replace my battery as it gave up the ghost over winter. A 5 yr yuasa battery from work, and after not running for 3 months, she fired up without hesitation. Now to plan this years mods. I'm going to wrap my steering wheel inserts as they are a little worse for wear now. I'll eventually get around to fitting my new slave cylinder too. I'm going to attempt wrapping my headlights a light smoke purple colour. I was going to go for black, but i think it would be over kill. Then Zippypoos sent me a pic of a black one with yellow lights that looked ace. But I've done black and yellow a lot and fancy something different, so purple it is. I may do my door handles anthracite to match my wheels. Once funds allow I think i'll also get a resonated catback cobra system. Toying with sidesteps, and I still haven't fitted the Nismo spats I got last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I managed to wrap the silver parts of my old zeds steering wheel (presume thats what you meant?) in situ. Just sat in the car with a hair dryer, some good vinyl and a credit card and it was relatively simple and took about 20-30 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay84 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 My daughters 9th birthday party and a house of girls. Washing and waxing the car was the responsible thing to do. Very happy with the dodo juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Well after 6 months of inactivity thanks to work moving me around the Midlands week by week, I've logged back in to the forum. I've also been 'forced' to spend on the zed. The clutch has been starting to slip for a little while now so it was time to replace. Also as the exhaust needs to come down and had a blow from a previous repair between centre and back box, I figured I should replace that too. I've gone with Cobra resonated and the clutch and lightweight flywheel kit from @Tarmac@TarmacSportz. Now to eagerly await the postman.

Jay84 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Probably not, I manage a garage for a big orange company so I'll get the lads to fit everything. Normally when I try to help they tell me to get lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 MOT today, straight through no advisories. Then onto the end ramp to get the clutch and fly wheel replaced. The car had over 120k on the clock and no rust anywhere. The gear box oil looked brand new too so it's been well looked after all it's life. Here is the clutch plate... Still stamped us as Nissan. The tech wanted to know how I managed to get it to work without breaking down . I also put on a shiny new cobra resonated system... I'm very happy.
