Gearbox Oil cooler
Had a local specialist fit one for me (£300) and drain refil box as the first thing i really noticed about this car when i got it was the heat under the bonnet in general, it really gets hot and will kill it, decided to get a specialist do it cos i wanted them to check that the box wasnt already on its last legs and be wasting me money.

Nifty red flare that really upsets the neighbours when you let it off in the garden, cant believe how much light and smoke it let off, lol, lesson learnt.

Importing :)
Had the same problem shipping took nearly 4 months and all you do during that time is think of the damage thats being done to your gorgeous lil car, have you thought about going to Southampton Docks and seeing whats in the auctions there? im told a few z's go through every week so at least you can see what your buying in the flesh. Bought mine through a company called Autoadvan and no I wouldnt recommend them.

Exhaust back boxes
I have a kakimoto system and they are too loud, really gets to you if you drive along the motorway for any distance, I would prefer a nice tone to the exhaust than out and out loudness but we all have different tastes.

T-top gutter drain holes
Not sure where they go but i used the flexible stuff the wife uses to hang net curtains at the windows to clear my drain holes on my celica, it might work on these as well.

UK Speedo connections
Hi, when replacing the speedo dial on my import to a UK unit, i noticed one connection on the back was different at the top right hand corner, on the Japenese unit it was connected to a point marked 100k on the green board, on the UK dial its connected to a point marked 5k, do I need to leave as it was on the UK or change it to the Japanese way? was going to replace the whole unit of rev fuel temp in one go but one of the plugs on the back was the wrong size. Thanks, Richard.

What paint?
perhaps if you go back to Nissan and say paint code LP2 and miss the G out they might recognise it, if not I would find a motor factors that will mix up paint and put it in an aerosol, they mix paint all day long and are a lot better and more professional at it than your local halfords.
-
What paint?
LP2 is a Nissan colour dark purple used from 1994 onwards, im afraid as usual the main dealer doesnt know all he should, as for where to get it from depends exactly what u want, if its a little touch up bottle, then probably Nissan is the best place, if you are going to spray it your local Brown Brothers or Partco will be able to mix the colour, some motor factors can also mix it and put it in a spray can but you will have to ring round to find out who in your area does, also some paint manufacturers will list 2 variants of the same colour, a Number 1 shade, the most common, and also a lighter shade, which may match a faded paint finish better, and will have colour chips for you to look at and choose which is the best match although most pick the number 1 shade as there is almost no noticable difference between the 2 shades, hope it helps, if you need any more info let me know and i will try to help, use to spray cars for ICI as a technical demonstrator.

Black Z owners! Paint confusion.
Hi, according to the ICI colour register 732 is called Black P (ICI code PA58B) used by Nissan between the years of 87-95, dont know if its of any help but its the only black they list with that code and ICI aint usually wrong, Richard.

Where do I get the right make battery for my Zed
Hi, bought one yesterday for my jap spec, the number is 088 (as listed in the parts catalogue) i believe most makes use the same numbers, if you want the full spec of size, terminal layout and ratings i have it and can forward to you, should cost you around £40 some places were trying to charge me inexcess of double that so be careful, Richard.

Heat resistant adhesive, where can I get it from!
Hi, go into your local Partco Motor Factors and ask for a tin of Bodyline Hi-Temp Trim Tack, use to come in a 1ltr tin and 250ml tin, from memory the Ltr tin was about £10.

why not try spraying holts belt dressing onto the belt and pulleys, you will be amazed how much quieter it runs and if it is them, should stop the squeak as well.
