What did you do to your Z this week?

[TimFZ]

Is yours a 2+2? map light is good for front seat passengers.

Hi, yes map light good when it works, intermittent at the mo. That's the next project!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Finishing off my wiring project. Everything works fine so took the dash wiring out and tidied it up. This is half of it. The other half is connected to all the components in the glove box and the centre console, details to follow in a dedicated Thread. Note I have been able to reduce the number of multi-connectors to the front loom. Also there are no components now in the footwell.

That looks like a quality job. I look forward to reading the full write up

Got tired of the faded/filthy seatbelts so decided to get the webbing replaced. Super happy with the results, they found a very small bullet in one go the mechanisms which could explain why they stuck sometimes .


Night and day difference!

Would happily recommend the company: http://www.fdts-seatbelts.co.uk/ had them turned around in 3 days!

Interesting. What sort of cost. Also any safety certificate?

 

[arcdef]

They quoted 170 but charged 150. Because my 280z belts have 2 retractors it was double (think it's £35+vat per retractor).

They didn't give me a certificate but I was recommended by a local restoration garage and plenty of excellent reviews on forums etc. They walked me through the process and certainly seemed to know what they were doing.

I like the Service Dept one best. Are you selling those?

 

[moggy240]

No really but if someone wants one I might.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I'd like one

 

[Turn & Burn]

I’d take one too pls if you do want to make some more, they look great!

 

[Huw]

I would like one, if you do decide to make some

 

[moggy240]

I can probably do some service department ones. Will pm you.

 

[MaximG]

Forgotten just how time consuming putting things back together is. Basically took me the morning to put the LH rear strut back on, everything re connected obviously.

I managed to get some time on the 3d printer in work , It's pretty kool as it prints Titanium,

Should be done by tomorrow , so you have till then to guess what they are........

Oh man, I wish I had access to a metal 3D-printer! Nice work!

thanks Peter, luckily I work in a University so we have some pretty kool prototype kit that I get to play with , I couldn't stretch to nearly a million pounds for one though, but in time they will come down in price like plastic 3d printers have,

..............I work in a University............

I always assumed you worked in an engineering firm -- never assume!

My technotoy tuning front strut brace arrived from the US. Was on back order.

Test fitted it and it doesn't clear my airbox, I knew it would be tight, so some modification will be required to it.

The quality is really ace.

I bent mine a little. Just a few degrees on both sides.

Yeah, they are crazy expensive!

I think as they get more common, firms will provide the service of printing your models. I think it's matter of time until more local metal workshops will get them.
