Time to call...

Did you follow the procedure: Pump quickly 1,2,3,4 pumps, hold down on last pump - open bleed valve (~half turn), close *then* release pedal. Repeat again and again... When you have got the air out from the slave repeat the above for the bleed valve by the inner wing. http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/cl/008.gif

That's the spirit! Good luck in your reassembly. Would love to watch, reminds me of this... ...Only with a bit more finesse obviously.

Before I sold it all - when I took the 99 spec lights apart to make them "clear" the reflector was chrome, and the dark 99 spec tint was simply from the inner black plastic surround.

Remove the indicator and you will see three fixing nuts.

Looks good, what's the indicator and side light illumination output like now?

I wrap it (and the jack) in towel and jam them here:

The tray on the n/s is hollow (at least it was on my UK car) and needs a lid for the carpet to sit on whilst the o/s tray is just recessed for individual tools.

Check tension rod bushings and if fitted with aftermarket bushes (early design poly bushes) check two bolt fixing of the tension rod to lower suspension arm.

I wouldn't worry about their feelings. If the insurers nominated the bodyshop, get back to them. There is no point in looking at the car each time you see it and thinking I wish I had got it sorted properly at the time.

Tom, that is excellent news! Great to read that you are going get her repaired and back on the road rather than giving up. Well done!

I'm after a UK spec front bumper (has holes for headlight washers and UK number plate fixings). If you have one for sale or know the whereabouts of one please let me know. Must be in good condition with no structural damage. Many thanks.

As above check for fluid leaks/seal failures in master and slave cylinders and flexible hose. Could also be pivot ball or fork failure.

Chobham services at 7am it is then. Departing for Cherwell Valley services at 7:30am (~60min run). See you then.

My system is slowly morphing into a JL setup. The JL 10w1v3 looks interesting and would fit the existing enclosure.

I had my UK spec blue glass (made by Pilkington) replaced by Autoglass. Just paid an excess of £100.

From the FSM, low and high beam aiming adjustment: http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/el/054.gif http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/el/055.gif

As you say...

Are you making the journey a) with your existing MOT still valid (you got it tested before the expiry date) or b) no MOT and driving to a booked MOT/repair place. In which case has to be done in one journey.

The Technafit lines I sold recently measured 59.5cm for the fronts and 21cm for the rears (total lengths including the fittings).

Very nice she looks too, look forward to seeing your car at Coventry.

Have you had a look at the FSM (manual or auto system)? Is the hot air coming from all the vents? Could be the air mix door motor(s).

What is? BTW - nbd1559 comes up as for the 350Z (google search).
