craig

thank you for taking the initiative making the effort to book a club stand Paul @NemesizX; :thumbup1: the Museum of Power is a great place to visit nice way to spend the day. unfortunately i am booked that weekend with my 675 bike club and will be up north for our annual get together else i would be there. i hope at least some of the local guys give it a look :)

:clap::biggrin::lol:

it is a bit of an addiction, labour of love, and understanding wallet, to keep them in their prime don't be a stranger

a few hard to reach to places that could do with a good clean while you they are accessible there Andrew ;) will be nice to see in the summer :thumbup1:

hi Antony, glad to see you getting it back on the road. we had to disable our manual.cgi online workshop manual due to some issues with the script, hopefully it will make a comeback at some point. in the meantime it is still available on another site here: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi where it should show you the route, but they run down the passenger side of the car

that would be a shame Richard, Julia has to get it sorted :) Nikk will miss her not being there

sorry yes, as Ian says, i will have them with me on Sunday at Japfest Silverstone so we can check them over and discuss the fitting issues i had with the smaller piece being too rigid, and see if we want to make any changes to them, or stay with them as they are regarding the vent holes.

best wishes

Bump, now we are well into the year. Any of the other attendees from last year planning to come along again ;) Might even be in a zed this year :lol:

yup

have always wondered why they used the same colour and name branding for v power petrol and diesel as it is really confusing when they are on the same pump, as have picked up the wrong handle a couple of times on both our diesel and petrol cars, or have had to move pumps when the wrong vpower was on it.

i tried calling them to explain the situation, but no joy there, so looks like we are stuck with the few that managed to get passes for now then. i will be bringing those carbon scuttles so you can have a look at them Ian, and we can discuss the vent details etc.

a new model to mark the 50th would have been far more fitting than a colour scheme on an 11 year model imo.

its just random Paul, and thanks for reminding me, as i had not got my own parking tickets sorted yet. i posted the link then forgot. You can get a refund on them up to a week beforehand. Also, i think you get a free hot or soft drink with the parking ticket as well. They have done it as they have been too busy a lot of the weekends and there is no parking outside.

best wishes

i tested the bulb directly off the battery and it was fine and bright, didnt think to test the voltage at the plug lol. will do that over the weekend

Ok, found the issue, one of the connectors had either been missed by me, or not been put back in properly by me and come loose. So that fixed all of the above issues, and also as it turns out, it fixed another issue which i had thought was unrelated... Main beam was also stuck on on driver side only, which i thought was an earth or relay problem and was going to investigate separately. Now, my remaining electrical issue to fix is, the n/s front fog light runs dimmer than the other, although the bulb is correct wattage. Anyone got an idea for that? My basic electrical knowledge would suggest a resistor or another bulb is running in serial with it somewhere.

After the fusebox, t-top drain, etc saga i still have some issues, which are obviously still related to this issue, but am needing some more direction please :) speedo, oil pressure gauge, windscreen washer button not working - i think these must be related to each other? I have checked the 10A fuse labelled "meter" on the diagram and this is fine, i have checked most of the other fuses in there now, will finish the rest later anyway. Next will be to check and re-seat the plug connectors that i can get to again. Hopefully i haven't missed any, especially if they were on the back? Do they run from a specific connector, as i couldn't find that on the wiring diagram? Did i miss a relay to check on the back? Is it possible i have pulled a connector loose from behind the dash, while manipulating the fuseboard? Is there another fuse or relay that runs these from somewhere else i can check?

will it be car passes rather than tickets that are needed Ian? is that what ordering through the club method enabled you to get?

best wishes

done

best wishes, and good to hear :thumbup1:

anyone wanting to go to Caffeine and Machine on Saturday, probably advisable to pre-book a parking ticket, as it seems like they have had to introduce this because it gets really busy at weekends with all kinds of cars, clubs, etc turning up. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/caffeine-machine-pre-booked-parking-tickets-59293269766?aff=erelexpmlt&janus_fv=exp_eb_86972_related_events_v2%3DA

cheers guys :)

All back together and working as it should. The success would be fixing the leak and getting everything back together. I don't believe i did anything specific to fix the electrics other than unplug and plug things in and out, and let it dry out a bit. But green zed lives to fight another day, so just need to replace the rear tyres, or even swap wheels with the purple zed while its off the road waiting for some enthusiasm, and we are good to go.
