Changing the BMC.
Hi if your just changing master cylinder you can bleed it at the abs pump saves doing it at all the wheels...

Leaking BMC!
The newer version i don't think has that anymore and yes they seem to always leak there and take all the paint off in the engine bay,

Rusty Turrets...
Them seams are horrible to do, i had a zed with no rust at all and had not long been sprayed, I scrapped it, i bought another shell and reshelled it with all the parts from the scrap one, Problem was a little tiny scab ended up huge, and the seam was going to keep splitting all the way along, Could have easy welded a patch in there but I'm quite fussy and wanted it to look like it had never been done, I'm no welder lol and tried replacing the whole inner wing but it never happened hole just got bigger and bigger has i found more rust, Went and found a shell took a torch looked right into the quarters, the bits behind the rear wheels and engine bay and got one with no rust anywhere... Had a look at a couple that looked very clean but inside rear quarters they was rusty, I hate rust would rather scrap it and find another then try that welding crap again lol... Dont get me wrong i made arches for my transit, welded new sills on and done lots of welding for mots etc but on my pride and joy i wouldn't be happy with it, The biggest problem is sealing the bugger up inside the sills etc that once welded up you can't get there and even weld through primer will burn off, And no guarantee cavity wax is going to get in there properly cause you cant see, Would probably last forever on a dry weather garaged car but one used everday bet it would be back in a few years...

Master Clutch Cylinder
You should just be able to buy a 5/8 seal kit, I bought the wrong cylinder it was for an na or older 300zx with a linkage cause the tt has a servo, Ended up taking the seals out and rebuilding my cylinder,

Z Day today!
Hi what spoiler is that on your car, its hard to tell but looks nice...

help
I'd be careful topping it up fully why running when you switch it off it will likely throw it all back out. if you watch the level it goes down while running and when switched off it rises... Ask me how i know lol,

Sat in it Sunday
- Sheered Bolt
Im sure that side is easy the other side is blocked by the water pipes... I did have a spare but scrapped all the bits otherwise i would have sent you it but sure someone would have an old cas bracket on here for you...- Sheered Bolt
Just take the cam cover off and remove the cas bracket... Then either replace it or drill extract/drill tap it on the bench easy peasy lol... - - - Updated - - - Just take the cam cover off and remove the cas bracket...

If not I'm sure you can just take that cam cover off, And the cas bracket has 3bolts holding it on either replace with another used one or it will be easier to have it drilled...- modification advice
Hi you don't need custom brackets for 350z calipers just need to make holes bigger in the hub...- Z centre
1st time i used the site i wondered what was going on, But all the car part shops do it if i phone up for anything they tell me the price and It's all ways plus vat, And he adds postage, Normally i call him if i buy more then 1 thing cause he will sometimes ship bits together but if you buy on the computer it does it automatically...- front wing bolts
They are m6 bolts my friend sells these: They look quite smart, Crap photo but I've scattered them about everywhere lol- tuning advice.
A friend of mine was boasting about his friend with a supra and having about 500bhp, My zed is only chipped and running around 1bar, I took him out in the zed and his reckons the zed would leave it especially on a bendy road, His put 1 great big turbo on it and its auto and its laggy, so other then high in the revs its crap, but zed pulls all the way through all the gears, My cousin celica gt4 is similar turbo is so big 1st and 2nd are usless lol... Maybe work out where u want it faster, down the pub with 1000bhp for 1000rpm or 500bhp for 5000rpm. On the road I'd rather the 500bhp and a twisty track would probably be the same, But when them big turbos kick in it does fill good my cousins celica is like nothing, nothing, nothing oh shit lol...and feels so fast but next to my zed it doesn't actually pull away the zed is steady all the way through without that big kick...- What is wrong with people?
Mine isn't loud either but all the stock zeds I've been in are very quiet, so really we come into it with our bigger exhaust that we don't need unless were on a track, because we don't need faster car's for road use, I understand what your saying about the little cars with big exhaust but most are literally saying there's no need for loud exhaust and even moaning about harleys etc, and when we all started driving we couldn't afford or insure big powerful cars so we did things to our cars probably were silly things but that's what we did lol... My neighbours are horrible, and can't make noise even if i work on it with a drill or grinder or run the compressor i get looked down on but has said if there cutting a bit of grass it's perfectly ok to fire up a ride on mower on sunday morning and go up and down the garden, I've lived in a main road in London with buses going by every other minute day and night, sirens, train line at back of the garden, people shouting etc and in the end i never heard it, now i live in kent and its very quiet other then the noisey neighbours with there bloody mowers and i probably only hear them because they annoyed me now I'm listening for it for an excuse to moan... Come to think of it there's a bloody songbird i hear in the garden that sings every morning he needs an asbo too lol...his a thug...- What is wrong with people?
The thing is my neighbours moan about my car noise, moan the kids make noise, to be honest they moan at everything because I'm in my 30's and most down my street have retired but on a sunday morning at 8 there out on there ride on mowers or strimmers etc when some people like me have been a work all week and wouldn't mind a bit of a lay in but i don't moan, I think people need to live and let others live,- Remembered i have a zed today
Hi guys, Andrew g came to see me today nice to meet you again, Reminded me i had a zed so we pulled the old girl out and looked at it lol... really need to get it on the road, and use it this spring/summer, Its missing its 99spec front bumper and rear lights... here's a couple of pics of it looking sorry for itself- Slicktop and Convertible doors are they the same?
I have no idea if there the same but you haven't hit it have u, Won't a standard swb be the same isn't it the roof that's only different..- mpg improvement
I think the manuals are better on fuel, u can get it in 5th early and when u accelerate a little it will pick up staying in 5th but the auto's all ways rev higher and drop back gears, - Sheered Bolt
