Hi Scotty Is this a poblem with the engine running & car still? If so it could be your bonnet catch! That's what my squeak was! Sorry if not that. Arthur

Hi Jay I think you put a Q on Stubb's thread, about splashguards? Yes, they shield the engine & rad underneath, also there are thee parts, drivers/passenger splash guards to. With the Z so low they do get scratched alot! Arthur

I have PIAA's, fitted them last year definatley brighter! Arthur

Sorry to see you have an engine problem! I spun a shell last year! U can drop the sump & ave a look. Thats what they did on my Z. I'm no mechanic! There are different ways as you possibly know, of fixing or replacing bits. Half engines are cheap too. Arthur

SUNDAY :confused: So got Z out ;) Went for a drive :D Up the a A20 to Leeds Castle & down the M20 :D :D Back now Z away in garage :( Arthur

Ryan, as you knowI am about to do my matrix, and the front bit with Z thingy on and paint it red from black! and waiting for rear spoiler to arrive this Tuesday. house carpets arriving Sat morning at 9am! think I will leave seat belts for time being!!!! lol lol!

Thanx all, for the tips feel I can get going on this now. James, cheers for that give me address 4 p&p. Its Fri & I am off home! Arthur

Hi James did you get my address about the matrix? Thanx for the info on the badge (I like the Z better than NISSAN!) I have seen these metal pins at the back. Will get started with WD40 and scraper. Nigel I like black too! :D

I dont think they would stop you getting a whiplash injury, be it the inertia type or harness type. Just a thought. Arthur

I have just purchased a Black front bit, that front bit between the headlights. The bit with NISSAN or Z on it! My Z is RED doh! Want to a) spray it red, what undercoat colour do I use? b)how do you get the Z badge off the front bit, without braking anything! Arthur

So, this must be a subjective diagnostic ? Arthur

Never heard of this! Is it in the hand book? Arthur

Hi Craig I think you are discribing the passenger side splash guard. It also has an air vent in it to direct air to the brakes. The Z is low & all the splash guards are vulnerable to damage. Arthur

Auto's ROCK !! Arthur

Cheers Ryan Arthur

Is this all metal or a combination of plastic & metal? Makes a difference to the cost! Arthur

Hi Mac1, Thats impressive! I have seen your Z engine before :shock: . I thought it must be a special chromed one! Infact I have a full engine in my garden, maybe get afew more bits to polish up! :D Thanx Ryan & JD Arthur

Is this the intake manifold bit? or Is it the big aluminuim thingy on the top! of the engine? is this the same bit? Do they polish up? Cos Ive got a spare one of these thingys & if it polishes up it would look nice! Arthur

Shite!

I had an Austin A35 years & years ago! One day I was washing this A35 (cost £50) when a person called Al-Fayed came passed, stopped next to me to bid me a good day, then drove off for the weekend. He was in a massive white American Continental or Cadilac, chauffeur driven of course. His Farrari Dino had been driven back to London the week before! And yes his father at that time did OWN several banks!

Hi Dom, Thanx for that info. I will as Ryan suggests, like yourself & take the dash off! Funny about you saying (never going to finish it) I thought that with my Passat dash off! Funny also about doing one job on my Z! then another! & another! & another!! ect!!! :rolleyes: Got a rear spoiler coming tomorrow, Z in garage, brake master cylinder being sorted today! Got a quote for matrix £40 less than £200 Dom. Awaiting local rad firm who said if I bring old one in they can make identical one, is it ALL metal or part plastic? Also awaiting Courtesy in US for quote to. Sorry for long thread :) Arthur

Thanx Gworilla Will do, Jeff's very helpfull. Like lots on the Z forum! Arthur

Hi Ryan Thanx for the advice & offer of help if needed. I would not consider putting something like radweld in my Z! Cannot start until Wednesday as Z is in garage getting brake master cylinder done! Arthur

I think Andy is needed or some specialist to sort through that page! Sorry notany help from me!

And what are you looking for!! IN that page. I thought the water pipes where bad enough Good luck Arthur
