So i've owned the Zed since August last year, and one the first of march i taxed her for 3 months to the tune of €422... Ouch .

Since paying that sort of wedge for the privilege of driving on our nations roads, I've been racking up miles on her since then and have myself a little Job list

 

1. Gearbox oil ,i have a suction pump and oil bought for this. Just gotta get to my buddies pit and get it done.

 

2. Engine oil ,I am at a loss at what is best to use. For some reason when i search on here for best oil , it throws up a blank. Whys that? Is it a touchy subject with too many variables/opinions. Anyway if someone could recommend a brand and a grade , fully synth or semi synth it would be great.

 

3. This is a weird one. Theres nothing wrong ( i hope) but its puzzling me.

When i jump in the car and start her up, when i roll forward a few feet, it seems that when i get to a certain mph , i can hear a motor doing something for a split second behind me in the boot or somewhere close to there. Can anyone shed some light on this , Is it a motor solenoid moving a bolt to lock the boot door , or something else

 

Thanks in advance

Ed

Loads of threads on engine oil mate and it is a can of worms lol but heres one http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?132901-what-engine-oil-is-the-best&highlight=engine+oil

 

As for the noise you get from the rear on start of I get that to not sure what it is but maybe fuel pump.

10w 40 semi synthetic any good brand just change it regular.

 

The noise is the ABS unit doing a quick built in test.

I might get one of my buddies to lie in the rear hatch and see if can get clsoer to the action when i take off
