Was an absolute pleasure to meet you Graham at last,I love that impul Z, such an honest clean car and a gem to work on :cool2:

Been an absolute faff !! 2 condensors fitted,1st was like a teabag that came supplied with the car as a replacement,2nd was new then found out a faulty throttle or evaporator valve was causing high vacuum on the return back to the compressor which will lead to failure.So heater etc had to come out and bingo !! somebodys been there before !! all unwrapped and bare in there.All the insulation was ripped off from the 2 valves.So swapped it all out.Built back up.Gas dropped in and after many years the AC springs back into life.All this for a "pin hole" Chris was told in the condensor.So Chris the AC is ready just in time for mmmm WINTER :whistling:

I mentioned this weeks ago on facebook.I had a phone call from John Evans a well known and respected motoring journalist.After discussing just about everything 300zx with him,He will be publishing the article in next weeks edition.John was a fan of the car and lucky enough to test drive one back in the early 90s.The article will cover pros and cons of ownership.what makes a good model and why the 300zx is a worthy classic now :thumbup:

Its very sad to read this after being a friend of Lees myself,I had numerous dealings with him and got on well,Until Mondo came to mine that is.Around May he asked me to get made an urgently needed swb na prop as he had "Borrowed One" somewhere and needed to replace it.After getting it done at expense to myself, Lee saw via Facebook Mondo was getting work done at mine he went very quiet after and payment was never made.I was then made aware he was telling everybody i was poaching his customers ! despite me turning 3 of his who were unhappy away in the last 12 months out of loyalty too him.After a previous 9 week wait for payment on 6 fuel filters he had asked me for this was a kick in the teeth to say the least !

Afraid so folks,another year of me !

It does seem a long way to travel to have your car fixed seeing as im in Bristol and and Lee is in Shrewsbury.However these cars need specialist care and many performance garages come unstuck on them as they have no prior experience of the model.For oil changes ect im sure they are fine but any diagnostics that may arise or even setting the engine up correctly they will struggle without the knowledge required.

ahh ok fingers crossed it fits fine chap,any reason you cut the arch at the swage line ?,i know its easier to remove less metal but forming an arch line will be harder in filler.Keep the updates coming i hate seeing zeds broken for rust if they are saveable :yes:

Well done for tackling the job take my hat off to you,have you trial fitted the rear bumper yet or did you before welding the arch in ?

After all these years too for gods sake,The Empire did some bad things around the world but it doesnt give them the right to try and scam us years later ffs :glare:

Dont know how but it works for me fine,What did you search ?

Why is the zcentre being mentioned on here when MJP is our payed up trader for parts ? Mike has been here years and has had health issues of late but hes still around and contactable by phone and can supply the items requested i imagine.

We had a phone call last year from "Microsoft" from a nice lady called Paula with a very strong Asian accent saying our computer was faulty and could we turn it on this minute for them to fix it :whistling:.So convincing honestly,Because Microsoft would have my home phone number wouldnt they :lol:

A future classic for sure id say and an investment for somebody.

Duff info again,now theres a thing.......

That dog has large paws,a sure sign of big dog in the making,Bet you and Lynda cant wait !

Dont jack it on the sills !!:oops:

Rears ,fronts are thicker where they spline into the hubs

Got some Nismo studs at work,Can check for you.They are boxed still and unused

Yes unless in economy mode it cuts the ac in always even at high temps,the duct sensors measure temp and adjustments are made to maintain the heat at a constant.

You have climate control when its fully fitted,it mixes cold air with hot to regulate temp,as its deleted this is what happens.

3/16 common size copper brake pipe,readily available from Euro car parts or GSF along with new unions.

Well on the way then Howard,those brake lines should be easy now whilst its all apart.Quite a weight all that lot to lower down isnt it !

In Stock £25 posted if you want some.Pm me

Nice to see you Howard,shame it was so wet id love to have driven youre car again.Glad you enjoyed the heart attack sandwich again :drool:

Its something ive been looking at for a while now,its becoming quite an issue,good second hand boxes are non existent these days.I have 2 broken boxes i am keeping and a good one stashed away in case my own fails.A Kit the same as CZP sell is available elsewhere for half the money in the states.I found it by googling "300zx transmission rebuilt kit" none list gears or sliding sleeves though !!
