Im with elephant was with admiral and im 29 2 years ncd no claims no points and mine is under 500 fully comp and that isnt on classic insurance. try the autotrader insurance search as well. Also play around with things like proposed mileage it brings it down some more.

yep seen them :) my rears are ok at the moment

Ah yes of course think ill be going for them then cant find anywhere that does a rear set though :huh: Marty

sounds like possible seized pistons in the calipers have you had the brakes stripped down or was it off the road for other problems? if it is seized pistons you may be able to free them off using the pedal or some wd40 to help.

Hi mate and welcome. I had major problems with my nearside turbo and found that the oil pipe straight out the block behind the air con pump was blocked. Had the turbo oil return pipe off running and got nothing through the turbo so a new pipe on and it was fine after that however i did manage to do the nearside turbo with the engine in after i had lifted the engine to replace the other one. If you need any help id be happy to offer my advise as well :) Marty

Just checked my pads today as they have started to squeal and im near a change on the front so just wondered what everyone recommends. Did a search and couldnt find any anything. Was looking at the porterfield ones has anyone used these before? Marty

Welcome to the club mate sounds like some good plans you have post pics of the progress too :) Marty

if it starts i cant see it being a big fault to sort maybe the throttle cable is disconnected lol

lol yeah seen that too is you get it im after the spare engine could work out a deal :)

This wouldnt happen to be the zed on ebay is it? :taz:

Try drive that on the streets 7.75 lol

im going to be using one with my new clutch in the next few weeks

Just as i send payment of £80 for mine this crops up on ebay. Im sure someone must be after one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Series-2-PTU_W0QQitemZ260547416848QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ca9d61310 Marty

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330401191494&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 Now thats how to sell a car :sorcerer:

Im getting my exedy cluch plates from vived been speaking with Jade on the chat thing she is very helpful knows her cars and will even do discounts to beat prices. Oh and she has also sourced me Nismo parts at very good prices and getting me bits from Z1 to combine the postage. Overall very happy with vivid racing so far. :thumbup1: Marty

I would come but ive gotta work that day :(

Ah super cheers Smithy

Quick one on changing from series 1 to series 2 PTU i understand that you need the harness for the series 2 but is it just a case of cutting the series one harness off and crimping the series 2 harness in? Marty

Ah bloody hell funny switches i bet it is the boot one as last i remember it was fine when i got the car but i had to adjust the boot lock as it wasnt coming undone when i pulled the lever and the boot light was staying on so ive had it disconnected ages. Right ill check it tomorrow then update thanks for the help :)

Will unplugging it not do the same as it would create an open circuit or does the system work the other way where if it goes open circuit the light comes on?

Ok nice day today so was trying to crack this problem. I think ive got the right relay in the rear quart its a blue one in the pic and disconnected this with all the doors closed and still no difference. Can hear the relay working fine when i reconnect it. Went onto both door switches and disconnected them in turn and no difference and disconnected the boot one as well and still the same. Any ideas on where to go next as my mechanical expertise is better than my electrical its an annoying little fault that doesnt want to go away. :cursing:

It will make the heater hoses easier to do as well to get the connections on the rear wall however i just did mine with engine and gearbox in but it was a tight squeeze

Sure mate give me a shout if you need any help getting back on the road

Welcome mate im just up the road from you near Royston :)
