After having no luck obtaining a second hand master cylinder I had nothing to lose by attempting to seal the leak using liquid metal which to seems to have worked:D Question is as I have stopped the leak externally whats the opinion of the internals now as Im unsure whats behind the area it was leaking from (if that makes sense...lol) Basically the leak was coming from the front bung of the cylinder but everyone I have spoken to says its the first they have heard of leaking from that point. Opinions are very welcome. Cheers Paul

Finally found my copy of it but can't for the life of me work out how to install it :( Any ideas? Cheers Vijay

hi zmates can some body advise me please, i have a 1990 jap import z, rear fogs have been fitted with a seperate illuminated switch, i want to keep all the light swiches together, i have just purchased a uk spec light switch pod with what i thought was a fog light switch already fitted, instead i got what looks like a headlamp wash button, is there a difference between the early uk spec light pod switches and the later uk spec light pod switches. or can anyone say where the fog light swtich should be on a uk spec z regards big mo

anyone point me in the right direction to a cheap 300zx insurer. *Think* I was with A Flux just over a year ago, cant remember tho - do we get any discounts? Cheers

Guess who has broken down again miles away from home. This time i was going around a corner and the car started by all means bunny hopping before completely losing all power and dying. I tried starting the car and it refused. So i went and played with a few connectors and it started again and i drove it to my friends house. Came back out later and it fires up fine then just completely dies. Then i cant get it started at all. In the end i left the car at my friends house and i got a lift home.. I am nearing the end of this car more and more.. Old zed has very kindly offered to come around tomorrow and try another CAS on my car to see if its that playing up.…

Hi all, Just had a "moment" in my z with an icey road and a kerb, the rear near side wheel has been "removed" by said kerb and the rear wishbone has been torn from the sub frame. so im guessing it needs a lot replacing and realigning. would any body have a 1992 zx they are breaking for parts? could do with the whole near side rear corner and rear sub assembly? also any advice would be appriciated. Many thanks Tony

Driving along a dual carriage today, my three kids were also in the zed. When along side me pulls an astra vxrish type summit or other. I didn't pay it any attention until I hear it's engine scream into life and it's exhaust growl and boom as it crawled away from me at a snails pace. I looked at it to see a bloke in the passenger seat holding up his camera fone recording it. I wasn't racing - anyway I had my kids with me, I was just cruising at 55mph, but what are the odds there will be a new vid on youtube today with "my mega 800bhp astra demolishes supercar" chavtastic!:headvswal:headvswal

Either picture or a diagram showing how th ewater hoses run to and from the engine and through the radiator if you have em please? Should there be any kinds of senders in the lines? Why do both pipes run from the engine the same way but the rad take offs are at different sides? Or am I completely lost here?? Cheers...

Hey all my drivers door is sagging a bit and the bracket has worn a groove in the body. When I lift it I can feel about a cm of play in it. Any idea how to fix? Ive looked at the hinges and they dont seem to have any adjustment in them. Cheers

A problem has started with my windscreen wipers over the past couple of weeks. They won't turn off no matter what postion the switch is in. I have read this can be caused by the switch within the motor mechanism that detects the rest postion becoming dislodged. However i'm not sure this applies to mine as the intermittent swith postion no longer works intermittently. It is parked outside and i'm wondering if damp may be causing it? This is what happens in the various switch postions: Switch postion - Wipers Off - Low Speed Intermittent - Low Speed Low Speed - Low Speed High Speed - High Speed Anybody had this problem? I can only stop them by…

Were they illuminated in Series 2 cars????:confused:

When I start the car and then move it into Drive, The car pulls/creeps as normal, then I drive it for about 300 meters or so, then it just revs as if it is in neutral, then I have lost all drive. I tried it in 2nd and 1st and it still would just Rev. Reverse worked a little, then done the same. I turned off the ignition, then waited about 5 minutes, started it up, and it worked again, then got like 200meters or whatever.. and done the same again. I don't think the temperature has anything to do with it, i'm not sure if it's electrical... But any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Any Ideas people? Cheers

red 300zx h reg near kettering on the a14 i was in a black 300 with only 1 headlight working

My car has 110k up it now, running 15psi, mines ecu and decat exhaust. 18 months on the clutch is begining to slip. Should I replace it with a stock clutch or have an Exedy one? By having the Exedy one will it cause more stress on things like the hydraulic clutch fluid and its joints etc? Thanks guys, Dan

A Few weeks ago i replaced the standard rad with an alloy AMS one, converted the fan to electric and had the water pipes chromed :). Being so busy i've been spending an hour here and there to get it finished whenever i had time. Today i thought i would tidy the garage and found this in a cardboard box on a shelf. Where do you think it goes :headvswal:headvswal:smash:

Well i got to say this new driftworks hicas bypass kit has to be one of the BEST ways to remove the hicas: not only does it remove the rack but it also replaces the skinny track arms with BIG solid rods and rose joints, what im most happy about is having those old worn out leaky ball joints removed and replaced with nice solid poly bushes which can easily be serviced with new ones. They were easily pressed out in a proper press of course :D thanks to my mate who works for porsche in hatfield....:bow::bow: Now this is what ya call a workshop: One of the driveshafts was siezed so that was also pressed out rather than mucking about with a puller/hammer e…

120 miles in the zed today, just because the sun was out. Quick, get burning up that 98ron before they realize its that cheap :dance:

Right result, the zed was due its MOT. Dropped it off expecting horror stories about usual UK problems, rust etc. Guess what? it passed FIRST TIME time, only thing that was wrong was a new front indicator bulb and the emissions were a bit high, but they sorted it. Not bad for a 94 UK TT with 120k on the clock that i bought for a bargain of £1500 a year ago, and have spent less than £150 on parts to repair. Its had a few probs, but all sorted quite easily and given me loads more knowledge on them. See UK Spec zeds arent all that bad. Plus if they are manual and black, all the better. :tongue::tongue: Stu

Does anybody know how much the z32 tt retailed at when new in the uk?:dance:
