  1. Bleeding the clutch has nothing to do with the booster, the booster aids pedal travel via vacuum from the booster. I would suggest checking the slave cylinder ( on the gearbox) that the piston is moving freely, if its been stood for a long period or second hand etc, may be slightly ceased. You can also bleed the slave off the box, place on the inner wing for ease, assuming you have a slave to master hose.
  2. Ooh looked dodgy to say the least, what are your plans for it then Paul?
  3. All the best Andy, have great day :thumbup:
  4. As no one else has noticed, i will say it lol, why have both your zeds got the same number plate? :whistling: Love the zed though, you should keep it and get rid of the z31 as been suggested :winkiss:
  5. Welcome to the club and enjoy everything it has to offer :thumbup:
  6. Jeff at Zedworld can supply in this country, no need for import duty etc..
  7. Spray them without a doubt, plastidip is a spray leaving a rubberized finish, but as i said, it still feels tacky and will be a nightmare to keep clean looking.
  8. Plastidip can be bought off ebay. Having used some last week, i dont think im going to use it on the trims, although it looks good, even when dry it has a slightly tacky feel, so finger prints etc is going to be a constant pain. I only put two coats on, so dont think it was because the layer was too thick. Im going for a similar colour match and spraying them with paint instead. You will need etch primer if you rub the trims to bare metal, then primer, before the top coat.
  9. I think inkeeping with the theme, you should chrome wrap the car instead of spraying it, look very silver surfer then :thumbup:
  10. I know what you mean Ossian, but they have improved over the years, but you just have to be careful to glue as per instructions and not in one go. Mine has them fitted from 3 years ago and still on there strong..
  11. Yep , i have and one of the best mods to do, easy to fit too.
  12. Here is a write up, its from the US site, if you cant view it, register, its free and you will be able to get a ton of info. http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=76152&highlight=tie+rods
  13. Universal split steering gaitor, no need to take anything off, just use the glue to join the gaitor until fused, two clips or cable ties and job done.
  14. The ficd is still used for cold starts,like a choke. Surely disconnect the plug on the air con pump and it shouldnt change? Jeff will know for sure, send him a PM
  15. You didnt think i was going to write that lot out again did you :winkiss:
  16. Close, but this should help The first step in this is fun and all you have to do is drive your Z for about 10 minutes however you like to drive and bring it up to temp. Now that your done with this we will move on the the sucky part of this job. 2. Remove your coils being careful not to break the expensive connectors. 3. Remove all spark plugs and check the color of your plugs, replace if you want, but leave all out until #12. 4. Remove fuel pump fuse (by the battery) 5. While your engine is still warm to hot install the compression tester using the 14mm adapter hand tight. 6. Crank over the motor with the throttle pushed down all the way to the floor, it should take 4 to 9 revolutions for maximum compression to be reached, depending on the condition of your motor. 7. Repeat #5 and #6 for remaining cylinders and write down the numbers. 8. Now that you know what your compression numbers are compair them to the specs. I have an N/A which is 186 PSI. The low range is 140. All the cylinders should be with 14 PSI of each other. This is total not 14 to adjacent cylinders. 9. Now get a small piece of vacuum line or fuel line about 12 inches long. I use a syringe type turkey flavoring injector but anyway you can measure and insert about 1 tablespoon of oil into the cylinder will work. You can do all the cylinders at once but if you do you will shoot oil all over your engine bay so I suggest 1 cylinder at a time. 10. Repeat #7 11. Now you have new numbers I am sure. If these numbers have gone up alot you have some ring issues you may need to fix. if the numbers did not go up much or at all and you have low compression still then you have Valve issues(which is much easier to correct, IMO). 12. Put your old/new spark plugs in and reinstall fuel pump fuse. Compression Specs Standard, Minimum (psi) NA - 186, 142 TT - 171, 128
  17. Or plug in your phone to laptop/pc, open itunes manager and copy to your hardrive.
  18. Ahh cool, good to see you here, if you want your name changed back, post a thread up FAO Jaikai and he can sort it for you, you can keep the new log in and email details, if you wish.
  19. Welcome back Jay, i think i spoke to you at JAE or Silverstone, i remember you stating your old name on here. Or was i imagining it lol?
  20. 30? really :winkiss: Happy Birthday Lee, enjoy your day :thumbup:
  21. Tcu ( Time control unit) controls intermittent wipers, dash light dimming and interior light delay if working
  22. Thats the thing, you can play anything for free and win, the brain goes to pot when its real money lol I tried online poker many years ago, wont be doing that again in a hurry :whistling:
  23. I bought it when it still had paint on it lol and i used it today on some bits i painted :tt2:
  24. I have a meguairs mop and tend not to have the speed too high, apart from getting splattered as Brian said, i find the buffing disc flies off once lifted off the panel lol Any adjustable speed machine should be adequate for your needs.
  25. Are the lenses clean? can make a difference in brightness, also angling them will help too, but if one bulb is not fitted correctly, you will lose some light intensity as the beam isnt being focused. The bulb should fit snugly in the holder and both sides are the same with fitment.
