redwine300 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 its still under warranty so just mailed em about it, the arc is very intermitent no idea whats wrong with it just so annoyed, was gonna put it in for its test next week :mad: Sounds like the wire feed rollers are slipping, check the grip on the roller by feeding the wire pinched between finger and thumb, should feel resistance before slipping. Also, check you have the feed roller to match the wire diameter, there will be markings on the roller matching the groove size in relation to the wire size.

redwine300 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very tidy indeed. Did you treat the inner cavity while you were at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay93 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very tidy indeed. Did you treat the inner cavity while you were at it? i sealed what i could, and have cavity wax on its way, did the lower seal a few weeks ago, so now just 3 little spots on the arch :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianl Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well i was doing a suitable speed in lane 4 of the m25 when it all started to go a bit wobbly, hang a sharp left, but between then and the hard shoulder there was quite a lot of smoke, burnt rubber, bits of side skirt , arch liner etc etc. Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz 300 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well i was doing a suitable speed in lane 4 of the m25 when it all started to go a bit wobbly, hang a sharp left, but between then and the hard shoulder there was quite a lot of smoke, burnt rubber, bits of side skirt , arch liner etc etc. One of my worst fears a blow out at speed. Well done on getting it over to the hard shoulder Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkysi Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Laser alignment and a bit of an interior detail - this Z is now ready to drive down to the Mediterranean in a week and a half. :) Yes, it needs fuel - I'll not be driving it until I head to Portsmouth so I'll brim it with 99Ron. Even scrubbed the pedals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwine300 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Looking very nice Simon, impressive! Hope you have a great trip down to the Mediterranean.. Looking forward to the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) ......and so it starts.....I think this is a good location - just not sure how I'm going to route the cables! There is plenty of space around the unions despite how it looks on the screen. Edited August 27, 2017 by Funkysi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman61 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi Jeff a couple of years ago I acquired a 300zx tt reg k86 YPA from Louis Calmels. I understand that you had the car for a while and carried out extensive work on it. I was wondering if you can remember what you did to it because it doesn't go like a standard 300 so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evaansss Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Spent a little while cleaning up the engine bay. Think more time needs to go into it as not overly impressed with how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkysi Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Sourced myself a brand new boxed, never been fitted original 3rd brakelight. Mine is in very good shape, but couldn't turn down a new discontinued part! I love finding new discontinued parts! Interesting to note that if you buy the two screws separately, they come black, originals look like they're are just a plated finish. It's still in the US at the moment, but soon it will be heading my way. :) Dave, would you like my old one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
