The offending bolts and the tool that will remove them if the 6mm hex socket in the bolt has failed: The bolt head diameter is 13mm. The tool is case hardened and cuts into the bolt head and grips it as you turn it counterclockwise. Just use a ratchet handle and push the tool firmly onto the head of the bolt and turn. https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-bolt-nut-remover-set-6-pieces/6083d https://www.toolstation.com/irwin-bolt-grip-nut-remover-set/p63045

That B*****d bolt that holds one of the (four) headlight fixings. Swear jar full up Howard?

Not in my neck of the woods...

Just a question of perspective...

It looks like this underneath Ian.

I was going to click "Like" but I don't think that is entirely appropriate given the circumstances. Anyway, I salute your work rate Lee.

If you decide to have a go yourself, this link will give you a good idea of what's involved: http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.233 The leak could be caused by either the rubber pipes splitting or the short metal tubes surface corroding and allowing coolant to leak by (also clean up the aluminum pipes where they fit the rubber pipes).

Not a problem!

No, just torque the banjo bolt with the copper washers fitted as shown to the recommended value (FSM page below).

Fitment looks good, nice job. What is the name of the supplier?

Best wishes on your Birthday Simon!

Way to go Peter - enjoy your hols!

I'm up for a run - good fun!

Wow! Car looks amazing Howard. Looking forward to seeing the car in the metal soon.

What do you mean by stock?

The original '89 spec spoiler. The Z32 designers got that right from the outset.

Save yourself "buyer's remorse" and stick with the best available.

I would get the car in the air first and establish were the leak is coming from. The clutch slave cylinder is straightforward to replace. I used an OEM part when I replaced mine, but there may well be pattern parts available that are of good quality. Unless there is a leak from the master cylinder I would leave it alone. With the gearbox in, it is a very fiddly job to do in an incredibly tight space. It is also a very expensive part which I had to source from Japan (assuming your master cylinder is the same part# as mine - UK spec type) and you want to reuse the existing hardline.

Simon had a friend of his clean the photo up. In fact I think it was Simon who took the photo on his phone, not bad eh?

Rather nice of the ZClub to feature the cars, chuffed to bits. If anyone is intererested this is the hi-res version. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fb8GH07qwkPU5Xquoivt4I-hsX-6z6K9

Well no corrosion problems recorded for the last two MOTs. Great barn find.

If the cylinder's seal has an intermittent failure, for example the tip of the seal in the cylinder is worn/damaged or folded back on itself then it is entirely possible for the system to be holding pressure and then start to fail again leaking fluid past the seal. I've personally experienced this problem with a seal. Eventually the seal will completely fail. If this is the case in Chris's car the system can be sealed on occasion and the air expansion problem can manifest itself. The best thing to do is to replace the cylinder, bleed the system and see if the clutch still slips.

Best wishes on your Birthday Craig!

Dot 3,4 and 5.1 (glycol ether based) will damage painted surfaces if left on for very long. Think paint stripper!
