How does it feel
You tend to get a vibration that starts above about 30mph and gets a bit worse, but can smooth out completely at certain speeds. On mine it was also worse when cold. You feel the vibes throught the seat/transmission tunnel rather than through the steering wheel. Also, it will be proportional to road speed rather than engine revs and will not disappear if you dip the clutch.

How much for a speed sensor
I think Anders may have one for sale - try a search over the past week or so.

Few points
No snow here either, just ice - very disapointing ! :(

gear stick gator
Got mine from him and also used PaylPal. I think you can also get them through Courtesy if you want, but it will cost stacks more with their $50 postage charge etc.

Aftermarket Gauges
But surely the oil would have cooled by the time it reaches the gauge ?!?

Aftermarket Gauges
Can't see how you could possibly need a capiliary one for oil temp, maybe for oil pressure. Unless I'm misunderstanding something here ....

Autobox f*cked
That's interesting because my import box was fitted to SteveR's UK car with no problems. That was a Series II onto a Series I. Is there a possibility you were sent a gearbox from a Z31 ? I have no idea whether they are even similar.

stoopid question
Jap cars have a small oil cooler, euro spec ones are about twice the size. OEM gas is R12 for the a/c although this is now illegal in the UK The gearbox cooler (for autos) is actually part of the main rad unless you have an aftermarket jobbie.

Always gloom gloom gloom
That's because people are fundamentally optimistic and expect things to go right, and so consequently are upset when they don't.

Spongy nackered brakes!!
It is very easy to get air trapped in the master cylinder and because the front of it is higher than the back (where the resovoir is attached) it tends to stay there. I reckon that by raising the back of the car a bit, say about 6-8 inches, it would help in letting the air rise up through into the resovoir, as you pump the brakes. Even so, you will still need to bleed the system to make sure there's no trapped air in the lines/calipers.

Spongy nackered brakes!!
Fitting a new master cylinder is actually pretty easy, as is replacing the pistons provided in a repair kit. All the bits are unusually easy to get to. The tricky part is bleeding the system becuase due to a pretty dumb design it is VERY easy to get air trapped in the master cylinder itself. However, if you follow the instructions and try to fill it with fluif BEFORE putting it back on the car it is certainly a lot easier.

Had to abandon my Z!
It's grim up North !

Cheap Z for sale.
Hmmm, I recollect it being someone called Wedge, which looks pretty similar to the person who's selling it :confused:

Have you also painted/covered the other panels in the boot as mine are plain hardboard ?

suspension
I've got the Tokico adjustables (like in the ebay link) and the uprated Suspension Techniques sway bars - a huge improvment over the shagged original setup.

All the guys with Side pods
That double sided tape lark never worked properly for me, I now have a single screw up the top end that does most of the work, the tape just stops is rattling. Must be a lot more of a problem for people who have traditional, heavy gauges rather then the neat electronic ones we have though !
