summer's here make sure your z dont suffer
dont do it when hot otherwise you risk scalding yourself,do it when cool,top up with required amount,if your water is looking rusty and not very clean,you may benefit dropping it all out and repalacing with new,making sure you remove the bleed screw and keep topping up until air is removed,and the heating is blowing hot air,then check daily through out the summer ;) if you just drain the rad out you will only require around 3-4litres use a 50-50 ratio of coolant and water

summer's here make sure your z dont suffer
there is going to be a lot of overheating issues when summer comes.so please make sure you have checked the car over correct coolant levels vital on these engines as they run so hot even worse in hotter weather,make sure you have enough coolant otherwise the inevitble will happen viscous fan,yes they do fail! so make sure yours is working fully,otherwise in long traffic with high temps,will also cause problems rad caps,again dont buy cheap imitation caps,these do not use the correct rating,and may also cause water to pressurise out the rad,OEM ones are best or speak to chris for a decent aftermarket one. radiators,koyo is by far best ;) and holds more water/coolant,if your using your stock radiator,which is off course sufficant,then makes sure you check the lower hose,for kinks/splits,and the jubilee clips are tight and are not of poor quailty the OEM wire clips are best,another failure over time can be the rad top where the cap screws on,over the years this can wear down and cause a poor seal,resulting in coolant to expel out of the radiator thermostatif it takes a while for your car to come up to temp,this could be due to clogged water channels,or a slow operating thermostat,if your z is due for a cambelt service,get the front stripped out and vital cooling items replaced inc... waterpump 2small hoses thermostat etc temp gaugethis is the most important gauge to buy,the stock one will start to rise at around 110 oc this is not good enough,by which time your engine is on its way to an early death,iv seen where people have not noticed there car overheating,and have melted all there coilpacks in the heads so be warned,get a decent set of gauges FFS any leaks you have put off!! get them fixed ;) i dont want to sound daft but it happens all to often,these engines dont like high temps and you dont need to visit the z hospital :o to many are as you can see

Egr
removing the egr will not effect the car,it may run a bit higher on emmisions,benefit from removing is,if you need to remove the plenum for whatever reason,it makes this alot easier,you need to cut the pipe above the passenger manifold and weld it up,along with the 2 egr pipes that run left and right of the plenum,makes life easier to reach some of the fiddly hoses and heater pipes with the egr gone

Early simptoms of cluch failure or womething else?
engine oil will leak past the rear main seal,which in turn can cause clutch judder and slipping,the 300zx stock clutch with general wear and a boost increase will die very quickly,new rps sport will sort that,might be worth getting the flywheel skimmed whist she is out! checklist rear main seal release bearing needle bearing clutch cover and drive plate check and replace g.box oil whilst box is out ;) check centre bearing replace if nes! rps sport clutch will come with new needle bearing,release bearing,clutch and alignment tool and stickers :D
