I agree H2O! Short journey, time of year lots of damp around. No probs, dont think, go for longer drive!

Ive got one too, good working order £50! Arthur

You will probably need a geometry wheel check after replacing the part. Arthur

My bolts came loose too. I have had to tighten them again after fitting poly bushes two weeks ago. So I would definately check tension bolts. But sounds like a worn steering ball joint that has some play in it. Arthur

Mike, whats the update with Mr projectprelude? Is he sticking with his Honda! I like the look of the R types. I like the look of quite a few cars! But Ive got a Z!! Arthur

Hi Jim I dont know! Z world will till u. someone on here will know! What about 300zx.org.uk? My lunch hour finishes at 2! so Im off to work!

My auto gearbox failed at 125000 miles. If my new one lasts that long I will be pleased UK TT 91

If interested in this Z & in bugget there are things you can check before you buy or make an offer. Is the car near you & is it local? Check the garage the repair work was carried out & bills ect, like wheel align'ment, respray, parts. How long the guy owned it. Past service history ect with bills. Recent parts changed, last oil change. Make a tick list of questions to ask, if the guy answers them ok then check the docs out then test drive for an hour! OMG! does this sound crap or wat? I hope this gives U ideas. And take someone who nows Zs too! Not ment too sound like u had not thought about any of this! Arthur. good hunting!

My up arrow only, lights up. Not very bright though! Arthur

Cheers for that Ryan, I added 1.5L of antifreeze to the system before going to Torquay over w/end. Temp fix of matrix hose (long) with some rubber tape. Check coolant level lunch time no coolant loss! But will change it anyway. Arthur

Thanx Ryan will look at hoses lunch time so I get clear pictiure.

Anyone know the part Nos for the two heater matrix hoses at the back of the engine? I only need the one that comes out of the bulkhead lowest! It seems to have been cut by the jubilee clip as the hose enters the back of the engine. Or what do I ask for! as the two of them are sods to change they are £14.50 each but I dont need both! Can any one help if this makes sense?

Changed mine at the w/end with 1.5L anti freeze to the rest of the rad think thats enough? Arthur Went to Torquay over w/end only saw a red Z near Stonehenge Didnt aknowledge me though!

wheres mr prelude gone have you got a ride in a Z fixed or have you changed your mind? :confused:

there are two heater matrix hoses at the back of the engine and bulk head they sometimes split. Your metal sound could be your front suspension bushes or shocks? Im no mechanic though!Ive never tested top whack!!! what did you get? Good luck Arthur

Sorry to hear about your Z! Could you not get a half engine recon? Or low milage half engine? Some of the forum members say you can pick them up for £400-£600. Only a suggestion. Good luck Arthur

Hi Colin You could give Andy Z a ring first to see if he has one. Find his No in the traders forum. Just one idea. Arthur.

Hi You could do a search on the forum. Or you could try PIAA bulbs I tried changing bulbs, no change! These PIAA bulbs H3 give 85w of light off 55w If you change to 100w bulbs I am lead to believe they blow, because in the headlight space they over heat & blow. The PIAAs cost £30.60 + VAT + P&P total around £40 for pair. They do make a difference! You need H3 Platnum White part no HE271/ECB1 but check first. They have own webb site, but have to buy via a dealers Hope this is of use. Arthur.

Welcome to the world of Z's:) Best colour sorry its a manwell! Need for speed? Arthur

Dont think the guy was insured! Think it could be lost forever!:(

WTF is a 200SX I said drive a Z its a much better looking auto! IMHO:)

Mr Prelude! You need to drive a Z to see if you like it, like WE DO!:) We are all Z fans. Got to be a TT!

Thank's Jezz will get on with the job now!

Help needed please Before I undo anything. To change the front disc do I undo the two 19mm bolts at the back of the disc. ps Cannot get 300 org on site? Z wheel off ready!
