Guys Is the top radiator hose 36mm ????? Wondered if I boiled up the hose it would expand enough to fit a 38mm sender adapter. Any thoughts or anyone tried this sort of thing before. Thanks Martin

Thanks... Cheers Martin

Hi Back in January Pete Parmenter (PARZX) - well known on http://www.zclub.net forum offered to also do Insurance Valuations on our cars. Unfortunately no-one officially accepted his offer at the time. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=43628 I need a valuation but will have to join the zclub forum to get one - £26 . How do we get Pete's offer either accepted or rejected by this forum? Thanks Martin

Thought it might just be the insulation round the pipe deteriorating. Anyone confirm? Thanks Martin

Heading towards London around 5pm today!

The original light covers were orange...these are handcrafted. This is the japanese website that shows the ab-flug type 4. http://www.ab-flug.hn.org/Products/default.htm

Its an Ab-flug .....see my rides section. The light bulbs can easily be changed by removing the centre panel and reaching down left and right! Martin

I have retrimmed using Lukes Zcentre kit. Here is thread link to FAQ http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=43840

Thanks Guys for the quick response. Will try to test the inverter tomorrow to see if 12v AC. Martin

Hi Dave That difffuser looks good. I have made some rear bumper side indicators from Wickes diffuser..... not a good pattern though. I found that if I cut as close to the original with a hack saw and then used a hobby glass grinder to shape the plastic it turns out pretty good. I used a CD marker pen on the plastic for the shape as it comes off easily with Meths and is waterproof for grinding. Sanding just took toooo long. Hopefully we can get another FAQ from you Dave..... so keep at it. If you need a glass grinder then you clould always pop em in the mail. Keep me posted. Cheers Martin

Hi Guys Does anyone know the ouput from the EL panel inverter? Does it run on AC or DC...think it is AC ? Can anyone with an illuminated panel stick a multimeter on the outputs and let me know? I have a panel that doesn't work and before I send it back to AndyZ as DOA I want to try and fix the problem if I can. Any help appreciated.... Cheers Martin

Hi Dave We are all waiting to see how this project goes. I have recently tried heating up and opening a 300zx centre panel. It is very flimsy plastic and because the one I tried had a lot of 'crazing' it split in a few places. I think one of the reasons it split was that the oven was a 'UK standard 60 cm' and was just a bit too small to heat all the panel goo evenly. Once opened I tried sanding the 300ZX sign and that bit seemed to be quite straight forward. Cheers Martin

Thanks Dave Might be a while before I can face doing the Back Seat FAQ...!!!!! Cheers Martin

Hi Leigh The front bumper is a 'Z32 Abflug Type 4' imported from Japan. Cheers Martin

Allan Have posted first part of FAQ. Cheers Martin

HI Mike Happy for it to be hosted somewhere permanent...was thinking of asking if AndyP wanted on his site...wherever is best...fine by me. Cheers Martin

Hi Guys Finally got round to doing the FAQ I promised a few of you. I have only done the front seats but at least it is a start. For the time being it can be found here: http://www.websure.co.uk/car/300zxretrim.htm Cheers Martin

Scottywil Fitted myself and learnt as I went along....have had the covers off the seats 3 or 4 times to get the finish I wanted :shock: Will post a FAQ so others dont have the same struggle when I get a couple of days to write it LOL.

I chose not to have the stiched Z logo. I am looking to perhaps get the Z embossed to give a more subtle finish....

I have completed the re-trim of my car in Lt.Grey leather from the zcentre. I took pictures every step of the way but have not wriiten the FAQ yet. The picture below is a little lighter than the actual leather colour. Can answer any question you might have. Martin

The previous owner put two custom made 12" subs driven by 1000w amp in the back of my car. I am going to remove one (or maybe both). One will have to go to make sure the targas go in. I thought you might want to see the size of the enclosures and what boot space is left!!!! Martin
