What have you done to your zed today? Part 4............

Looks **** good Nial.

A package arrived for me today....could only be one thing...

I asked Jesse to make sure the seller packed it with extra padding and I'm sure Jesse himself did the same as I didn't want to experience what Vince did...








That knob has some weight to it....











So shiny!

 

thats awesome Erik. did you know that the shifter Vince bought actually came out of my car. The previous owner of my car removed it and sold it a week before i picked up the car, i am still pissed off about it

 

Yeah I remember when I came over once you mentioned that he took heaps of rare stuff out just before you got it at least you got the abflug wheels love those, drooled over them for years.

 

Connected the new PTU and redid the wiring loom, put the battery on charge for the night.
There's a silver z32 out the front dropping my neighbour off, **** I miss that sound.

 

I'm so ****ing jealous

 

fitted a pair of kicker 300w rear speakers last night.
next is to get the sub working

 

I can help. I think I even have a spare amp.

 

The air mode door on the heater/AC system stopped working a long time ago but it stopped in a kind of neutral position which was ok as there was air coming out of every vent.
Just the demisters didnt work too well. Final straw today was the heater refused to work at all. Its cold here in southern Tassie in the winter mornings so no fun at all with frozen toes....
I decided to get into it today and sort it.
After some testing it turns out the AC/heater ecu has died in some way.

Luck has it that i had a spare that i swapped in and the heater controls worked again.
However, the mode door was still not working so i plugged another spare in to test.
So swap the mode door servos out and by fark thats a pita of a time consuming kent of a job......
I took the seat out to make additional room and finally got at arse of a thing swapped.
Yay, heater is alive and kicking again and directing air where it should go!!!!

Sat down with a pair of tweezers and fixed some slightly bent fins on my intercoolers. Looks 100% better and god as new. Will pressure test them to 40psi tonight.

Lots of work to do tidying things up on my setup/car.

Starting weight reduction this weekend.

 

added rice this Nissan nismo rear window decal... I have nismo indicators so it's justified. lol

Had a leaky power steering hi pressure hose replaced, fixed up a stripped and cross threaded alternator bracket bolt up, no more crunchy granola sounds now.

 

Took the bonnet off and installed new bonnet hinge covers (small details).

 

Close up on those covers? Always been curious and your photography skills should serve well.

 

they just push on no need to take bonnet off... nice picture tho *pats back* lol

 

They are just the standard covers like show at the top of this pic.



They can be installed with bonnet on, but is easier to remove the original items with bonnet off. I also removed the bonnet to do some other jobs
