KyleR Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I think it must have something to do with the cloth seats having airbags in and the leather seats not having the same plugs underneath. Do it nice or do it twice! If the leather you bought was from an import, then they might have to airbags in them, in which case you'll have to place a resistor in the cars loom to make it think it's connected to the seat. If they 100% have airbags, and the connectors are different (never heard of this) then just chop off the connectors and solder the loom to the seat. The airbag reset won't work if it's not connected.

OV53 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 My car is an UK model with airbags in the seats but the electric leathers don't seem to have the markings to suggest airbags. Basically the plugs that provide power to the seats are there but I'm thinking that the white plug has something to do with the airbag. I'll soldier on and figure something out. Do it nice or do it twice! Quote
csscallum Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 My utterly pointless first mod that will last a week before they're all nicked. Zed dustcaps . Well these didn't last long. All 4 pinched from a Sainsbury's car park at the weekend. Quote

All 4 pinched from a Sainsbury's car park at the weekend. May be worth getting the different types (2i know of) 1- they need a real small allan key to loosen the nut ready to remove 2- its got safety clip like your special wheel nut for alloys This is the reason i dont buy dust caps. Because i know what i was like when i was 10 with my mountain bike Quote
csscallum Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Yep all 4 in one go and I was only in the store for 30 mins (any longer and you have to pay to shop in Lancaster). Probably kids but I've learned my lesson, I'll invest my £4 in a keyring next time Quote

RDON Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) gear knob and surround mod! carbon wrap was matt so did not quite go so lightly clear lacquered it to try and give it a gloss finish but did not quite meet my expectations so will remove and try and get the 3d glossy carbon film next from some where!!!! so here is a before and after shot.

rodgeevans Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Started getting the car ready for the painters. First off wanted to remove the spoiler to see what mess was underneath and tidy it up. Well it was a mess thats for sure but managed to sort it all out fill the holes and a couple of small dents and give it a layer of paint to protect it till it goes to the painters. Then fitted the 370z side indicator smoothed the old holes and a layer of paint again ready for the painters. Just a couple more bits to sort then off to be painted. Quote
OV53 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Today I successfully gained the Bose Aux In hack achievement. So now instead of this god damn Cobra exhaust deafening me it will be the Bose speakers that have been laying dormant for 10 years. Quote
Commander Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Yesterday I changed my air filters, oil filter and oil, does that count? Quote
Katy Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Today I got bored of waiting for my tax disc to arrive and just put my new private plate on anyway. Took that god awful front number plate mounting off, launched it over a hedge and then gave her a good wax Quote
Will370z Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 No more being called lizzie then. Nice work car looks great. Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Just fitted these LEDs rear lights. Look great. Quote
cs2000 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 They don't look that bad will, think they look better on than off the car! Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Look pretty good Chris as I got the smoked ones and they suit a black car, also I had black normal rear lights on it and I had to fit reflectors to the number plate which looked naff, with these the reflectors are built in. and LEDs are safer for Winter driving. Not difficult to fit, found that a 10p makes a perfect blank for the indicator bulb socket as you don't need that on the Zed, the rest is just plug in, need to file a small section of the fitting holes to align up perfectly, about 1 hour to do both.

Katy Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 ...decided the Zed just wasnt evil enough without some chrome dustcaps. Today's mod was exactly that She looks really mean now... Grrr! Quote
ddcboyle Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 Them the ones I give it a month. 5/1 odds their gone in 30days Quote
Suits Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I had GENUINE Mugen caps on my S2000. I gave them 7 days. Lasted three years then sold them with the car. 2 Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Fitted these in Jan and I still have them and I live in The Land of Thieves. Quote
mattross1313 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Wasn't quite 'today'. But fitted my front splitter a few days ago - really pleased with it Quote

Do the wee dust caps fit back on, on your set? Mine didn't. Quote

If your asking about the plastic cover over the nuts, then yes and no..out of the 6, 4 fitted OK and 2 I had to use a small bit of superglue, I could have spent another hour and filed them to fit, but time was pressing. I'm pleased with the result, look good at night as well. What did you use to blank off the indicator bulb holder ?. I found that a 10p fits it perfectly held in place with superglue. Quote
