Do you mean dot 5 which is silicon brake fluid or dot 5.1?

I've done a complete flush with a litre.

Which manufacturer is stamped on your BMC?

Which manufacturer (NABCO or TOKICO)?

Try using brake cleaner and a toothbrush first. I got mine to this stage and kept the anti corrosion finish on the springs.

You would need something similar to the sockets that mcgard provide:

I could turn down those D1 nuts to fit the bore of the XXRs (assuming there is enough material left afterwards). My Blitz wheels have small diameter recesses and I use: M12 x 1,25 - 20 NUTS/SET WITH WHEEL LOCKS 13/16 MM PART NUMBER 65554 http://www.mcgard.com/index.php/automotive-2/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=932&name=chrome-splinedrive-5-lug-wheel-installation-kit-m12-x-1-25-thread-size-set-of-16-lug-nuts-1-installation-tool-4-wheel-locks-1-key-key-storage-pouch&Itemid=0&category_pathway=0 -Andrew

Mike@MJP got the Stillen Type III for me. Cheaper shipping than trying to bring it in myself.

Here are a few pics for ideas. Skirts, 99 Spec front bumper (ignore the mirrors): Skirts, Stillen Type III front lip: Stock look (subtle lip on all black 89 spec bumper):

and fix your Hicas...

Go on splash the cash...

They came with a Nissan alarm system installed by the dealer network.

Did the door glass seal properly when wound up?

Have you tried a different Nissan dealer in another area? Also lookup the part # from an online parts website: http://nissan4u.com/parts/300zx/ and just give them that to quote on.

These are the FSM specification pages for the front and rear stock suspension setup. It is not unknown for the wrong (ie Z31 300ZX) specs to be used by the aligment shop when they lookup the car's data. fa-26.pdf ra-23.pdf

If you PM me your VIN code I will tell you what you car started life off with (manual/auto etc).

Less is more - the designer's got the look spot on 25+ years ago.

Stagger the joints along the harnesses to avoid unnecessary bulges when you tape it all up again.

$600 plus shipping plus import taxes... I bought mine from the first production run which Robert sold directly to customers. I don't know how many (if any) are still unsold.

These bad boys turned up this week from the States - 62mm billet throttle bodies designed and manufactured by Robert Bastian. They are fully CNC machined from billet aluminium and are beautifully made. They have proper shaft seals (no leaks under boost) and the butterflies are a perfect fit when closed. They need the return springs and stops transferred from OEM throttle bodies and the intake manifold will need porting to the larger 62mm bore. They will be installed along with AshSpec SMICs and 2.5" IC pipe work in due course. Held up to bright lighting: By way of illustration, this photo shows another car with the 62mm throttle bodies fitted (along with AshSpec IC pipe work):

If it helps you, I can machine a spare nipple on the lathe so that you can run a drill bit true to the centre line of the threaded section.

I can't see why you could not have that machined to create a new surface. The actual sealing area is shown below:
