So don't post replies in it then that have nothing to do with redwine300's serious problem.

What a lovely Grand Tour!

Lovely jubbly! Out of curiosity, where will you be driving her in Italy and France?

Give the joints a good soak with Plusgas (penetrating fluid) beforehand and ideally for 24 hours.

If it was me I would make a point of saying that the car was made in July 1989, the first month these went on sale in Japan. That's why it is on an 'F' plate and as such is a very rare example of an appreciating classic.

Assuming yours is not a BOSE setup this is the wiring diagram: el-93.pdf

Bet that was a huge buzz for you - well done!

Welcome to the Club Sean! Hope to see your car in the metal one day.

LHD cars had the space for both pre-cats. RHD cars had the space for a pre-cat on the n/s but without costly re-engineering could not be made to fit on the o/s. It was the main reason that with ever tightening emissions regs combined with low sales volumes that Nissan withdrew the cars from sale in the UK in '94.

Well I never! Just gone out to the look at my temp gauge, and guess what - I have white dots too. You learn something new about these cars every day. Thanks for posting the pic Steve!

Nothing wrong with that, a nice way to travel for the daily grind.

I must admit that the earlier versions of the SL55 AMG with their signature twin headlights are appealing.

Congratulations! Now, what size engine?

You can? Would you mind showing us your dots then?

That's a bit like a tailor asking a gentleman "which side do you dress on?"

Have you been on the MB club forum (http://www.mbclub.co.uk) and looked/asked? I have a E320 CDi and have had lots of good advice and help from them over the years.

Along the line of Robert Bastien's work? http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/classified/view/166694/CNCd-54mm-THrottle-Body-service.html

What modifications are you going to do to them?

Assuming of course you catch it in time.

What's the CFM rating for those fans? How do you know they will provide adequate cooling?

Flush coolant system and renew brake fluid.

Advantages - few, pitfalls - many. Take a look on TT.net for further reading.

Ouch! - should be in a dead Zed thread though.

Most likely Heater matrix has failed, but could also be A/C drain pipe or Targa drain pipe.
