Nismo tension rod bushes

poly bushes
Another day another Q! OK I got the Tension rods off & at night! There are only two nuts to undo then the nut & bolt of the bush. I managed to get the bolt out because I strained the Tension bush or angled it to enable me to remove the bolt. There are metal pipes on each side of the nut & bolt! My question is with the new poly bushes fitted I am not going to have the same amount of play to get the tension bolts back in! In the Manual it looks like you have masses of space, well thats crap! cos its was very tight getting the bolt out & imho its going to be even tighter getting the bolt back in! Or am I just making a fuss over nothing & its all going to fit back real easy (not!) Any thoughts from you who have done this please. Arthur

to break or not to break
Hi zxc! Trouble with Zs is the work needing doing is very labour intensive! There aint no room, the engine massive, engine bay small! Head gaskets do not tend to cause big problems like a big end going causing metal to be cast to every corner of the workings! Put another message up askin for help, get a quote on how much it is going to cost. what u can do & what u cannot! Then take it from there! lol Arthur

Brakes
Contacted Luke from Z centre. Poly bushes on way & arrive tomorrow. What service! Contacted local enginers who are going to press old bushes out & put new ones in. They have a Fly press that does the job. Replace arms on Saturday! Thats the plan.

to break or not to break
Hi Ben Im not the one to say how much you would get for it whole or in bits. If you do brake it up the vultures will swoop! I would also contact Andy for his advice, you had better make a good list of things before you do it! Arthur

to break or not to break
Hi Ben thought I would jump in with two feet! Seems very drastic measure for an oil pump & locks to scrap a Z! I take it you have ask for prices on these & of course the people who can REALLY help, like this forum? A tough choice to make if you know the money aspect of getting these things fixed. Good luck mate. Arthur

I think my bonnet catch squeaks will try a bit of tape! Talking of turning the music up, my music box is original Nissan tape/radio/cd. Seen better days. Halfords are doing a 12 CD/tuner JVC for £149 from £199 has anyone seen this & any comments about the quality of this system?

Brakes
Hi Simmo Thanx for info will change bushes first. Always torque wheel nuts! Ben on the brakes side I ordered mine from Strano Parts but you can get them from B19rks or Z centre I think. I would speak to them first My pads for your info: AXXIS PBR metal master, semi-metalic. Front only $55 + $38 shipping took 10 days! I also had to order one set of shims from nissan £20. Think you can do better with help from this forum though. Job EASY if I can anyone can. You saw Vjays reply thats what I used!:)
