  1. You mean these ones (lower green arrow)? It is a strange setup isn't it? There is no valve in the black plastic connector (bottom right) which tees the two 12mm pipes. So the 6mm and 12mm pipes seem to be doing the same job. I connected the new GTST CC bottom connection to the frame rail connection: The other small pipe going into the frame rail - I removed the valve plate assembly: (I also deleted all the redundant CC hard lines running from the engine compartment to the old CC).
  2. If you keep the bleed valve open whilst pumping air will be drawn back in through the bleed valve when you release the pedal. There was little/no resistance to start with and gradually as the air was expelled it built up. We pumped quickly 1,2,3,4 pumps, hold down on last pump - open bleed valve (~half turn), close *then* release pedal. Repeat again and again...
  3. Lisa, I changed out the slave cylinder and pipe a while ago. Getting the air out of the system was frustrating to say the least. I found out (the hard way) that the procedure in the FSM had to be followed. The key seem to be pumping the pedal several times in quick succession and whilst keeping the pedal depressed opening the bleeder to release the air (it gives a "pssst") under pressure. Close the bleeder before raising the pedal for the next cycle. Keep a close eye on the reservoir to make sure the level of brake fluid stays above MC. The reservoir drains quickly during the bleeding process. I remember we did quite a lot of those cycles to get all the air out.
  4. He has confirmed the wipers are working on all settings...
  5. Do the wipers work normally otherwise (start and stop and intermittent wipe)? May be related to this (plastic gear): http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2478917/Re-Why-do-my-wipers-sometimes-wipe-at-start-up.html
  6. Such a personal choice really. Blue is my favorite colour for the car and is why I ended up traveling all over the UK to find the right one for me. This may help your decision (from the 300ZX enthusiast's guide): 300ZX enthusiast_76.pdf
  7. Have you followed the procedure in the FSM? http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/manual/manual/cl/008.gif Especially important to do steps c,d and e (usually many times!).
  8. Go on, you will thank yourself later! Carpe diem...
  9. This is the diagram Nissan produced in their UK brochure:
  10. It is, how did you get into the enclosed sill channels?
  11. I don't suppose that boroscope is still around?
  12. So what will you do when the kids need the other car and the roads are salted?
  13. Here is the link to the online FSM for that page: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=br&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=47&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=56 If you don't have the FSM, then here is a link to the ABS diagnostics section for you: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=br&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=30&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=56
  14. No, during 24th Dec storm. We are on high ground! There was just so much water coming of the airfield and Kenley common which are a few metres higher.
  15. Yes she was/is. Only got to about 1/2" depth. Most of the important stuff was off the floor. Carpets (yes I know) have been chucked out. Concrete floor now has a thin layer of brown silt. All dried out now. For that night Kenley Airfield (we are close to it) got 53.6mm of rain. Forecasters have another big Atlantic storm for Saturday... Happy days!
  16. It loads for me from that link. What error are you getting?
  17. Miserable? I'd put it *a lot* stronger than that! My garage/workshop got flooded out during 24th Dec storm. No lasting damage fortunately. Not like those poor folks down your way.
  18. Here is the simple explanation on the VC LSD from the book "300ZX Enthusiast's Companion": 300ZX enthusiast p43_44.pdf
  19. Diagnostic procedure 6 in the FSM: br-47.pdf
  20. Have you followed the diagnostic procedure 6 in the FSM?
  21. Oh, a late spec UK car! Not that many about...
  22. Assuming you are keeping the stock calipers then: http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=8999&Car_Type=300&UID=2014020514063386.173.214.88
  23. Yes, connect the speaker outputs (left and right channel) from your amp/head unit to each crossover connections marked "input". The output connections as you have described.
