Yes just undo the two bolts holding the slave cylinder to the gearbox and you can pull the old one over the fork lever and refit a new one. Jeff

No messed up slightly and sold mine thinking along the lines of the wheel been on the wrong side but makes no difference really, I even have my right hand drive beemer here and its no issue, but you never know what`s happening as we speak/ write (lol) Jeff

No probs nice to keep in touch... unfortunately only a small amount of zeds here to keep me occupied.. Jeff

No worries, have the time now to look at sorting what`s already been posted and ones I still have on my pc into a thread or maybe an area I can park them so they can be found more easily. Jeff

Ok bit of an old thread now but may well be of interest to newer members who have not seen it or anyone who has not searched the topic. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?121328-Real-world-zed-fault-cause-s&highlight=real+world+faults Also as a reminder there are plenty of tech threads to find mostly with pictures that I posted over the years, just search JeffTT in advance and hopefully be of interest.

Take a quick look at this thread of mine from some years back: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?145251-Nice-clutch-tech-thread&highlight=clutch+fork the fork can rattle at the revs you mention if worm, even replacing the rubber shroud can stop it as the old one gets perished. Unless you had previous selection or crunching issues with the gear change I would be inclined to drain the box and refill with EP75W-90 semi-synthetic gear oil, sure it will help bring some of that unsupported bearing noise.

E-mailed you matey!

Back order can just mean awaiting delivery from their supplier, it when you get the "no longer available" reply its time to worry, saying that there is stock in the US, when ordering from UK Nissan dealers they have a storage warehouse in Lutterworth then Holland and finally Nissan Japan, at no time will they try US dealers.

This is a common problem caused by the tolerance on the moving handle parts been a compromise, however when we were breaking lots of zeds we found that some had more clearance, the moving handle parts is sort of riveted where it rotates so looks difficult to get apart and put back together. We tried grinding a little amount away on some but it was so tricky it became easier to find handles with a bigger gap! just a case of finding some. Jeff

Any one with any comments on the HICAS eliminator from Driftworks, excellent bit of kit removes all of the wear out of the system, cut the feed pipe at the pump end and feed back into the resevoir. Jeff

Many manuals come without cruise and hence the brake pedal does not have the switch or the mounting thread for it, for this reason its best to use the auto brake pedal and cut the foot pedal section to accept the smaller rubber foot pad and thus retaining the brake kill switch. Jeff

Try operating the clutch without the engine running to see if the noise is related to the the pedal mechanism or the hydraulic, any of these maybe under a little more pressure from the new clutch cover and maybe need some wd40 on. If the noise is when the engine is running only it likely related to the release bearing or/ and moving parts, depending on the clutch spec the bearing carrier have different depths and poss you have the wrong one if you used a big clutch kit.

My God a Z actually cleaner than Funky Si, be a real challenge to get better / cleaner than that.

Replied. :)

Hi Leeroy, mail me on the jeff@zedworld.co.uk address which is now for tech help.

Only got the fronts to hand at the moment, see if I can find the rears... Front anti-roll bar sizes Import Non-Turbo x 17 mm Import Twin Turbo x 21 mm UK Twin Turbo x 27 mm

Be aware there are different sizes for imports ( smaller ) and UK models, and non turbo is also different. Jeff

Stunning mate, love the colour. Jeff

Wow that looks amazing, what fuel pump you running then? does it smooth out the typical pulse feed? Jeff

Jim at PowerZed in Bristol has a genuine Nissan 300zx ABS testing kit which will find the issue in a jiffy, check him out in the trader section. Jeff

NGK PFR6B-11C plugs are standard issue twin turbo plug ( and an excellent plug ) the 11B is a cooler running plug favoured by some especially in the US when tuning. Jeff

Okay, can I ask why no damper? Jeff

The non spring loaded ones are from the Z31 and by coincidence fit the Z32. lots of peeps using them successfully, guess it depends on the individual engine and turbo condition. Jeff

Hi Jim, long time no speak, sort of think I recognise that reg. will check the data base see if it ever came in the workshop. Jeff
