Do i need a new crank ?
Hi Lee,The crank is very hard and i would be amazed if the corrosion has bitten in yet.Grab a roll of 180 grit emery and polish it at home then coat it with oil to stop it rusting again.

300zxtt lifter tick
Wrong grade of Oil and Castrol is not what it was it seems.I know of several owners of performance cars who have gone away from it over noises from lifters..It should be a 10/40 grade in the 300zx

Waxoyl or Hammerite
It comes as a kit Chris to treat any areas and seal them off.When my windscreen cracked i found surface rust in the aperture from a previous bad install. I used the Rustbuster Kit and i was very impressed with the finish and durability.

Waxoyl or Hammerite
I would buy an epoxy kit from Rust Buster.It can be brushed or sprayed on and is as tough as old boots and looks like paint once applied.They do a range of colours also iirc.

Suspension refresh bits
Most of the Nismo ones are NLA now in the states the last time i checked.Shame as they were the best choice in my opinion.

Jimmer PowerZed - top man, thanks

It is quite lightly a water leak has corroded the IPDM module that lives under the battery.It is a common issue on the 350z i believe.A google search will point you in the right direction.- Jimmer PowerZed - top man, thanks
No Problem Mike,I am sorry if the reception was bad i was on the side of fishing lake near Oxford when you rang.- Engine harness
Ryan buy a new loom whilst they are still available- Jim@powerzed is a superstar!!!!
Darren i can not thank you enough for the kind words.Helping return a Uk manual back into use is always a pleasure also !- Upgrading injectors
Andrew is correct the bore size is different so the rail wont seal correctly.For the sake of an adaptor kit it is far easier to swap rails- Auto to manual conversion
The SPZ fw is very good but many of the others are very poor.The Z1 version is the same as the XTD,The ring gear is soft and wears quickly in my experience.Id stick with stock in your case being honest.- Auto to manual conversion
The Z1 Flywheel is basically the same i am afraid Art.- Auto to manual conversion
Do NOT fit that lightweight flywheel by XTD or any other like it.The ring gear is rubbish and chews up !- BIg thanks to Jimmer....!!
I am glad you enjoyed the drive home Chap.I did send a fair "few" pics over the period i had the car,They should keep you busy uploading i reckon for a while !- Antifreeze
I use Bluecol OE48 spec at around 50/50 mix. - Auto Technician.
