I know its been asked before & I will get called thick to put it mildly! With the evenings drawing in! So can I just simply buy and replace my 55 Watt bulbs to 100 Watts without blowing anything up or burning any wires out!! And if its that simple why the Fxxx dont they fit them in the first place? Arthur:p

NEED HELP!!! Got new shim kit cannot get 300zx org on line! so help please. On each pad which order do the shims go? Ive 3 for each pad & wer do I put copper greace Shims are one shiny metal tappered one metal with and slats one carbon Just taken oldpads out & only had the one shiny metal one fitted!

Bushes what bushes? Out for 15 mile drive fine first 5 mile up motor way 5mile hard braking ok medium & soft braking Judder as time progressed same responce medium brake most judder mainly left side think! got to go playing squash in 15 mins!

Now when questioning patients we like them to be specific! Ive thought about this Andy and I think No! not that bad but, could be yes! I think at 5 when finish work I will take Z out and give you a firmative. Thanks. Arthur.

So do they just warp! is this a norm for a Z. Never ever had a warped disc on any other car. Never had a Z before though! This could be more work! Want to take car to Germany on the 1st Oct. New engine sounds sweet though!

Cheers Rich! do you think getting new ones a waste of time. If I clean the old shims & copper grease um? Think it makes sence really! If me pads are worn would that cause my brakes to judder as this has just started to do. Worse at higher speed no judder from below 20mph. Or are my discs in need of changing?

Thanks Rob Brake pads arrived from USA Strano parts, no shims. Ordered shims from Nissan £20.

Hi Willie O Thanks for reply I have shims for tomorrow. Yes I have the other 2 belts on the car. The one I ordered says fan belt & I ordered it for the air con ! Is it easy to do as it goes behind the alternator belt. Arthur

Hi all! I am changing front brake pads tomorrow. I think I read if doing this it is best to change the shims as well! Are they easy to get? Like tomorrow! And where from. And whilst here, is the air con belt the same as the fan belt?doh! Or do they just put that on it to lable it? Is this easy to do to. I would imagine its in the web manual can someone tell me the page please.

Hi Posidrive Good result, must so my local Nissan dealers are good, not like so of the horror stories we hear. Arthur

Hi Ardy seen both Zs look Nice! I would definately take up the offer of help from these guys. Take someone with you. IMHO Its price & distance & the car you want.at Zubi they have not put year, or have you found that out? You need one thats sound otherwise it could cost you SLOM! Good luck. Art

Hi Bob have contacted Hamilton & Palmer they can supply a replacement receptacle. Why did I not think of trying to contact them before! Sorry for the bother.

Hi Rich It may sound dumb but what about a Nissan dealer? Arthur

No not both serpi star! Immobiliser is Hamilton & Palmer? System Serial No 23006. It has a red flashing light on console above Key.

Hi Bob the set up is Serpi Star, does that help before I call?

Hi all Is there an electronic wizard out there? My Z is fitted with an alarm/flashers/central locking via IR remote & my immobiliser via a key inserted to female connection. I hope this sounds ok? & no a load of bol--cks! My remote is ok. Me problem is, er? my female connector- which is on the centre console. I insert key the thing bleeps code eccepted! great! Pull up at girlfreinds, switch off. Collect girlfreind, insert key, NO BLEEP! F-in Z wont go! RAC called. He said my female connector to the immobiliser is worn & the copper wires in the connector ave add it! Well to replace everything is going to cost me £250! Ok know its not LOL but I have just put a low milage TT engine in mi car at the cost of £4K! Now it is booked in to ave this done. But because of you chaps out there is there an alternative? Do I just replace everything new? Or is some electronics wizard going to tell me I can get the female connector changed or repaired. Oh god that is long winded!!!!!!!! Arthur, sleep on it!

Hi Mike If interested in the fan Andy Z suggests £45 + P&P Arthur

Hi Mike, Yes it is in good condition. My old engine had a big end failure! After much talk decided replacement a good option than recon. If interested I will give andy a buzz as to cost it up for you. will give him call sunday 7.

Hi Mike, If you are wanting a fan I have one. I have just changed my engine in my TT and have got most bits & the fan is a viscous type. Arthur 01303-244137

Ive used Mer polish which came to me highly recommended. It is expensive not sure about cost or how it compares to autoglym. I would not use T cut! My Z in garage Monday engine out look at whats knackered. Good time at Billing some Great looking Zs!!

Hi Paul, would be interested in engine fan cover, the bit that fits to the back of the radiator. ART.

Hi Fas, I aint no mech! Is the leak at the back of the engine? Cos I had AA out to my Z with a leak and he was unable to see anything, turned out to be a hose at the back! probably useless info for you! Good luck. ART. one sick Z on my hands too!
