A Bit Disapointed
In todays market, dealers dont seem as keen to give or nagotiate a deal just because you wave cash in their face! 4k trade in is a good price on a ten year old car. I just traded in a micra for £300 no comparison to a Z though

300zx options
Try again! I ave a UK TT 91 & I dont ave leather! I thought leather was an extra could be wrong though.

Heater Matrix Pipe leak - engine side.
Best to order both & change both if doing one. One goes under & across the other. Even Nissan have difficulty seeing which one to order on their diagrams. They are a PITA to change but I did both mine in an hour or two!

Autobox query?
Hi, I might tell you aload of tosh! I thought if you select D on your auto, the car pulls away in 2nd gear. The use of 1st I thought was for pulling away on hills. As I said Kia this could be a load of b---ocks. Arthur

Courney parts from US
Is this added cost from the imports authority in the uk? They charge you on the amount the company insure the goods for shipping. You can phone them up and quiery the charge. Have you already paid? I ordered some prints from USA cost £40. when they delivered them to me the importers wanted to charge me £233!FFS took me 2 months to get my prints with nothing to pay in the end Arthur

How Reliable is the Z?
Hi Thanet I did 23000 miles first year of ownership with no probs. If like some I had only driven the Z at W/ends & done 3/4K a year that would equal over 5 years trouble free car. Since this was one & a half years ago, I have now got bills over £6K!!! Recon autobox New engine/rad/brakes,pads & discs, even the tyres wear out fast! I aint no mechanic too boot! Arthur

Jack damage?
Hi If the sump has been dented & pushed up, which it looks like from the pics best not drive car and change sump. You can definately take sump off without taking engine out. When my engine developed a problem (big end knock) the chaps at the garage dropped the sump! Saw it with my own two eyes. Arthur

Steam from the engine.
First pipes to check would be the two matrix hoses at the back of the engine & bulkhead. These maybe in the wrong area but are the easy ones to see! After that looking further down at turbo hoses or back of engine. These are a mix of metal & rubber hoses. Other thing if you cannot see it when engine running & hot you will need a compression test on water system. Hope it helps
