SHEZZA Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Well not updated this for a while ! The poor old zeds not seen much action having only covered around 500 miles in the last year due to having now brought the house we’ve been renting and working on that. Oh and of course COVID and not being able to attend any shows/meets. She’s had two services since I last updated this. Some new LED sequential side repeaters as one was split and letting water in. I’ve also had to replace the windscreen washer pump as that had failed prior to its last MOT back in September. You can get at the pump by removing the inner arch liner without removing the wheel, but I did as it is a lot easier, especially when fitting the new pump as it’s a two hand job really. There’s two washer bottles on the 350z one each side and I always thought that one was for the rear and one for the the front. But as every day is a school day and what I now no is. The one the passenger side is for the headlight washers with its own pump and the one on the drivers side has two separate pumps for front and rear. With the pump which I needed to replace on the right for the front windscreen Old pump versus new and some nice new MOTUL screen wash, just because. Cheers opieoils for supplying that.

Some washer motors are valved, the new Jazz as an example. One motor on the bottle that does front and rear, bit of a pain in the backside to be honest as they're far too delicate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 And yet interestingly the Z had two washer tanks, one for the front and rear screens and one for the headlights. I also spot x3 pumps, Jap cars ay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Don’t even like using the windscreen washers if I can help it and if I have too, I’ll turn the lights off if possible so the headlamp washer jets don’t operate! I'm guessing that why the pump packed up, from lack of use and had seized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi guys another year, another update ! Wow and what a year it’s been ! Since my last update the zeds had its yearly service and MOT. Then I’ve had the windows re-tinted as the original that’s been on since I’ve owned the car had gone all funky ! I went with a shade darker this time with Luna on the rears and the legally darkest on the sides, 30% I think. Then something I’ve been toying with for many awhile is a new head unit and as now funds allow thought I’d treat myself ! and after seeing @andy james at Japfest and the trip down last week constantly seeking for radio stations, thought it was about time ! So I got myself on the internet and got myself a pioneer SPH-DA160DAB unit with the correct fascia trim and appropriate wiring harness for the steering wheel controls and a DAB aerial. Then have spent a few hours over the weekend fitting it and so far I’m very impressed with it and wished I’d done it sooner ! Next up is some new brake discs and pads for the front and I’m finally going to get the zed an up-rev as it’s about time and being as I’ve got all the supporting mods I think. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Wow over a yeah already. I've always thought factory tints should have been standard on the 350z, makes such a difference and goes a long way to keeping the cabin cooler during the summer with most cars supporting the black on black on black look interior.

SHEZZA Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 New brakes time ! Although the existing pads were only half worn and discs barely having a lip on them as they’d only covered around 20K since I fitted them back in 2014. I think due to the fact the zed is only a summer weekend toy and during winter sitting around had not done them any favours over the years. Even after trying to re-bed them in this spring I was getting slight vibrations through the brake pedal and steering wheel when braking, so thought it was time they was replaced. This time Ive opted for dba T3’s along with hawk performance ceramic pads, kindly supplied by @Tarmac@TarmacSportz Then this weekend set about replacing them. So off with the old, surprisingly worse for wear on the inner face of the discs. No little wonder why I was experiencing vibrations ! Then on with the new ! Now @davey_83 Did worn me once I’d changed the fronts I’d want to replace the rears ! As OCD would kick in well I must resist at least until next payday ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
