I would guess that at some time in the past, msut have been in Japan as I'm the first UK owner, that my entire engine compartment has been spayed with some sort of laquer or varnish. Now of course it looks disgusting with flakes and chips al over the place.

 

Does anyone else with a Jap Import suffer the same problem ? And has anyone got any smart ideas for removing this crap ?

Blasting it with an airline sometimes removes it on bits of flexible rubber, but it's over paint, wiring, plastic, engine etc etc

Carb cleaner and a toothbrush works a treat

Have you seen this before then ?

 

BTW confidence of fixing your clock is high. Looks like two resistors routinely die. Just awaiting some parts ...

Andy mine was the same and it came up great.

Hope you can fix the clock,Nissan want £175+vat F**k that! I know of another three Zs that have exactly the same problem.This

could turn into a group repair LOL!

£175 - f*ck me - I'll fix 'em for a tenner a time (if it works).

 

Looking forwards to having a stab at a PTU as well (Tooley - don't let me down m8)

Andy, fancy an old CAS these are a known bad item and are electrical inside, oh and i'll have me clock done too dude,
