My Z went in for a full service + cam belt.

If that did not cost me enough money!

The pipe on the power steering pump was leaking.

When they removed the pipe it fell to bits, and now they want £245 for a new one,

which they can’t get until end of march.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

hhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are trying to get a local company to make one for £50 wish me luck...

Ritchie my man

Sorry to here about your problems, had something similar on mine when I picked it up , ordered the part from Hiteq it was there in a couple of days and got Andyduff to fit it.

Made up with the results and it was a dam site cheaper than anywhere else.

Good luck

Andy is based on the right side of Preston and is always on here.

Any industrial pip and fitting manufacturer will make that in 5 mins.

 

Try someone like Pirtec, they have franchises all over the place.

 

If all else fails take your old pipe and they will be able to reuse the old banjos etc.

 

HTH

 

Tim

while ure car is off the road can i buy your wheels muhahahahahahaa

Sorry tooley, cant sell the wheels they are the only things that are reliable on the car.

 

Richie..

 

------------------

Richie - what a bugger!!! If its the same pipe (comes off the pump, round the bottom front of the engine onto the rack) then the cost from Nissan UK is £150 inc VAT. Not a terrible job to do just need patience

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Dont get me started, just dont!!!

Hi Ritchie,

 

Sorry to hear about your dilema, are those clear side indicators on your front bumper.If they are, where did you get them and how much were they?

 

Mark H

MarkHanley....

 

They are indeed clear side indicators on my front bumper, but the mad jap kid that had it before me put them there.

 

 

Richie....

 

------------------

Richie,

 

Is it this one?

 

 

If you get stuck make me an offer

 

Tim

that should cost bugger all to make!!! I had a braided brake pipe made for my motorcross bike which had similar fixings and was 3 and a half foot long. That only cost me £15. !!!

so dont get ripped off!

I've got one from the car I'm dismantling. You can have for £20. Any good.

 

AndyZ (01634 221783 or geewhizz@onetel.net.uk)

Mine has a leak too and Hiteq gave me the part number sticker off one they had just supplied to one of you guys. Can't find it right now but they said it was £125.00

If either of those used ones are in fairly good nick i'll have one.

I better find that part number to confirm it though.

 

Just to clear things up, the pipe that TT Tim has shown is NOT the one I replaced on MCZXs car I think the pipe shown is the return from the rack to the pump. The pipe I replaced was longer and has metal piping for the rest of its journey across the subframe and onto the rack...

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Thanks Andy, I couldn't remember which one this was and didn't know which one Richie needed so thought it safer to photograph it, just knew it was one of the hoses from my replacement PS pump that I didn't use.

 

Tim

 

PS: You are a mind of useful information

Will have the car back today,

 

The pipe got fixed at a local hydraulic engineering company

 

The total cost for running a Z through a service at Nissan is as follows.

 

60,000 Mile C Service & Cam Belt £580.00

Power rack pipe repair £25.00

Power rack pipe labour £108.00

 

Total Cost £713

 

MY COMMENT ON THIS

 

UN FU*KING BELIEVABLE

 

RICHIE…….
