Damn sorry to hear about this Chris, have seen your car close up and you've put a lot of work into it, hopefully you get the insurance sorted asap, and you can get back on the road.

very nice buy mate

very nice mate looks great

dont use grease on the pads use a small amount of copperslip on the sections that move ie where pads slide in the caliper.

make sure your hand brake is full released and you've not just overtightened it, not sure on the zed ones but some do have an auto adjustment and might just be too tight, check the pistons on the calipers are not sticking as well very possibly are after sitting for 4 years, is better to do the hicas ball joints rather than have a wandering rear end, there are a few good post about on how to replace on the car. if this is already done then ignore my post as few days after your last post lol good luck mate

happy birthday mate

try MrF mate

cheers Rich

newport, you do some really good work there, sounds like you have a good reputation when funds are available will order some bits off you.

looks nice mate where in south wales are you based Rich?

good to hear its alive mate

get it in writing from the garage and signed by the managment or owner that they will repair it at their cost you have proof then if they try to back out. good to hear you got it back

sounds like you have a good misses there, and hopefully your bodyshop friend can give you a better result, one garage i used to work at used to rub the hard brake lines with sandpaper and coat with vasaline if any help to you.

quoted from bantumbunny (Hi Nathan, it's a Tremek TKO 500 box from a mustang and a mixture of chevy and ford clutch plate/flywheel. If i were doing it again and had more money i'd go for the 600 as it's a little less notchy or even the T56 box but for the price i paid for it i couldn't turn it down.) Many thanks mate for the info, also I'm going to go through all my posts on here and everywhere else i've posted and write up a book with photos to leave with the car for people to thumb through at the shows and then get the brackets and adapters made up as spare if anyone else wants to mount up a chevy into a 300zx. id be interested in the designs or pictures as well, i have a 5ltr chevy lump here im thinking of fitting to my zed, unfortunalty has an autobox but would prefer manual, so if you could recommend a box to fit a 305lump then it would be appricated. Cheers Nathan

why not take it for a second opinion, is possible he just didnt want to do the work.

looking really nice mate out of curosity what gearbox have you got fitted to this v8 lump. cheers Nathan

we have a yellow ice cream van that comes round here sells all sorts of stuff to, comes round 5-6 times a day, seems to make good money from it. im in newport

try download.com they have free downloads and not only just security, worth a look and they are all rated.

hubs will need to come off, got told you have press out the old joints and can be a sod to do.

looking good Lee, big difference to when you got it, following with interest.

congrats mate, looks like the mags are starting to get interest in the zeds again.

well done on the big lad for standing up for himself, I too know what its like to be smaller than everyone and be the one whom allways got bullied at school, i got bullied every day and school never did anything about it, after games onday they started and i snapped, the one who started it ended in hospital and i got suspended for a week, nobody bullied me after and not many people spoke to me either, but i didnt care as the bullying had stopped, i too tell my kids to stand up for themselves.
