Its a K & N I'm not trying to save the £7, I dont know where to get the kit. I think Halfords sell K & N........I will try them Thanks John

Stuart What does the K & N cleaning kit consist of ? Can you clean it without it ?

Went to check my air filter to see if it needed replacement, it turned out to be a K & N 'Cone' type filter. Does this type ever need replacement ? or do you clean them, if so, how ? Would I be better off with the stock filter ? Thanks John

Hey Scoob.........why dont you post a pic of your wife on http://www.wifeloevers.com Give us all a treat!!!! John

Looks great James, I may end up buying new ones....we will see. Yours look silver in the pic, do they come in silver and in black ? John

No import duty under £18, Im not sure about the vat, I think its vat free too under £18. I know people who import dvd's..........no vat or duty John

Thanks Tim I will see if the Nissan dealer is open in the morning. John

Tim Where did you get the fasteners ? Mine are just about shot. John

Phil I just measured a brand new one I have here, its about 11mm inside diameter, 18mm outside and almost 3 mm thick John

Thanks both of you, I want to get them off to repaint the scuttle trim John

Matt, I hope everthing works out for you, I also have just bought my first Zed, and would be heartbroken if it turned out to be full of problems. I hope everything for you is not as bad as it seems at the moment, and that you can keep your car. Whatever happens, I wish you both all the best. John

Ok Clarkey, I will try it again. Its tight as hell Thanks John

Thanks Steve I will look into that John

How do the wiper blades come off ? I have removed the nut from the shaft, are they just a tight fit ? I dont want to damage them, are they just a push on fit ? Thanks John

Would it be advisable to replace the oil cooler on my import auto 2+2 ? On this forum I have seen posts from people that suggest replacing the oil cooler will extend the life of the jap auto boxes, which people claim are a little weak. Is it a difficult job to do ? Thanks John

Hi Webmonkey, I have been reading all the comments back and forth, I cant offer any mechanical advice, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are experiencing problems so soon after getting your first zed. I got my first zed 2 weeks ago, I know how I would feel. I sincerely hope and pray that the problem is not as serious as it may appear at the moment. Seeing all the people on this forum volunteering advice and willingness to help you must be of some comfort to you. It makes me feel that although all of us dont know each other personally, we have friends out there. Im quickly realising that the people who make up this forum must be the best on the net. Hoping its something simple, and not too expensive. Regards, John

I GOT THE CUBBYHOLE WITH THE HINGE DOWN LID, FITS PERFECT, LOOKS NICE, WORTH THE EXTRA OVER THE BLANKING PLATE. JOHN

Thanks Stuart and Jonny, The previous owner of my Z neglected all the tyre pressures, they were all about 24 psi, thats why I am having to replace the tyres now, its a shame though, they all have good tread in the middle, but worn out on both sides. I shall make sure I check the pressures weekly Thanks John

Got it, thats 33 and 36 psi..........I suppose its safe to assume 33 front and 36 rear, or is it ? John

Stuart Yes, a sticker in Japanese, with 2 columns. Under first col. is 2.3, under second col. is 2.5 Would you assume the first col. to be 'front' and second col. to be 'rear' ? What is 2.3 and 2.5 is PSI ? Thanks John

Thanks Stuart, I have stock wheels.......nothing under the armrest. Cheers John

I have checked the drivers handbook and the repair manual (on cd) and nowhere can I find the tyre pressures. The drivers handbook refers you to a tyre placard in the car, I dont have that. Anyone know the tyre pressures ? Thanks John

Just got back from having those F1's fitted on the back - wow! what a mean looking tread design!! He even balanced the 2 existing Continentals on the front. Total cost (incl vat) £204 , not bad for 2 F1's John

Anyone know of places (cheap) places to stay on saturday night in Billing for a 300zx newbie.............after sampling all that nice cold lager, should not drive home to Derby Thanks John

SMW1 225zr16's..........including Vat, installation, balancing etc. John
