How easy is it to change the fluid?

Our guys have been welding frames from 3CR12 steel that I understand is sort of low grade stainless. They use 316 wire and argon co2 gas. You see rust down the edge areas of all the welds. Is that cosmetic and superficial or will it rust through if not painted?

Hi All, Does anyonw know where i can get the above kit from. I did see one on an american website today, but lost the page. :mad: Any ideas :) Cheers

I want to keep the car as standard as possible but my rear spoiler is now starting to come away from the boot lid where the Fairlady sign is supposed to be. Is it the frost or excess rain? What can I do to stop it happenning again? The boot lid is really heavy so I know it's full of water. What to do ? Chris

Noticed the orange HiCas dash light was on - never been on before while driving that I can recall. Also the red light with the litle exclamation mark and circle (!) was on too. I wonder if that red light comes on whenever there is a non-engine type of fault - such as a HiCas error. If anyone has an owners manual I would be grateful if they could tell me exactly what the red circle with exclamation mark means. There in no mention of it in the Service/Repair Manuals. Of course I checked the Hicas fluid level (mine has the hydraulic version of HiCas) and that seemed fine. Only thing I can think of is maybe the little float for the level in the HiCas reservoir got…

Just bought my first Z, so I don't know too much about them yet....... On Saturday I drove the car from Essex to Coventry without any problem at all. Tonight, I got home after a 70 mile semi-fast drive and let the engine run for about 10 mins and all was fine (I was learning about the radio while I waited) and switched off. I went back to playing with the radio. About 2 mins later I noticed lots of steam(?) pouring towards the windscreen. I immediately popped the bonnet and went to have a look. The plenum was making a popping and hissing sound and there was a lot of heat being thrown off. There was no indication of this while I was driving. I let the engine cool…
