The Z community is honestly super informative too so there is tons of info out there to keep these things on the road. Check out xenonzcar.com, that guy has accumulated way more info than I could ever hope to put into videos! Makes me want a Z32 someday 😄
love the video if i had to say something id wish youd put a final before and after of what a area you you worked on looks like. love the content and apologizes if it was in a old video
Yea I get it for sure. It's kinda weird when you have 1.5 hours of footage and need to shop it up into smaller videos in a way that makes the most sense. Sometimes I do a project and it perfectly fills 30 minutes with before and after shots in the end. But these are smack in the middle of me doing 10 things at once hahaha. This Friday's vid will be the culmination of the last two, it came out SO GOOD.
Hey dude! I have purchased a keyless system from Amazon. It came with 4 actuators, I thought I would run the trunk like you did. However, this only has one wire to actuate the trunk, how did you go about setting that up?
Make sure the module doesn't require a relay, mine did. So that one wire trunk output was a 12v signal wire. So on that switch side of the relay you wire one side to ground and the other to the 12v signal wire. Then give the control side of the relay a fused 12v always hot wire and the other side run all the way to the trunk and attach it to one side of the actuator for the trunk popper. The other side just wire it to any ground back there. And boom, you're in business!
That's the original dash, I was just lucky mine is in ok shape. I did shatter one of the dash vents trying to get it out though. Nothing a hot glue gun couldn't fix 😅. If you are hunting for one check out xenonzcar on Instagram. He parts out Zs and has tons of good info to keep our junk on the road.
How did LED's hold up over the last year or so? I've wanted to swap the incan's out for LED just to help reduce drop-voltage on the system but a lot of the lower cost LED's aren't heatsinked very well at all and I don't wanna have to replace anything that I already replaced lol
You are definitely right about them failing often. It's hard to just how much to spend on them. These did well but I have since sold the car so I honestly don't know how they held up. They were actually pretty easy to access and the cluster only has three of them for back lighting, and two more in the compass and g-meter, which again, are not to hard to access.
amzn.to/3Vyb1cc Don't forget to grab two 194s for the digital gauge cluster and if you want the green to be gone you can open the cluster up and take out the green filter and replace it with any color you like. I saw some other vids about doing it. but I LOVE the green haha
There are probably like 20 "75" size bulbs that illuminate the gauges and interior, 2 "194" bulbs in the digital gauge cluster. But if you want to change "all" of them, like including the warning light bulbs and behind the digital climate control screen, those are a different bulb and you'll probably need 10 or more of those too.
@@WTFPerformanceShow Looks like im gonna stock up. I might go for all green LEDs and see how that looks. Also I love the work you're doing on your car man, it makes me wanna work more on my 85. I still need to replace those dreaded hatch struts.
Thanks man! I really appreciate that! I read the service manual on those hatch struts, it says you can pop them off by prying carefully but I call bs. I took my grinder and notched them carefully till I could just snap them off with out hurting the balls mounted to the hatch lid. New ones popped right on. And now that I have the keyless entry to pop the trunk open it works so nice! Also I got mine from rockauto and they were WAY cheaper than any local autoparts store.
