There are a few videos on how to do this on You tube. Looking at the piece of kit I have to flare the pipe, its a two part process to give the SAE flared end. My tooling has 1 die, then followed by a second to give the SAE flare. To be honest I am more worried about whether I will be able to flare the factory steel lines, that I am going to join my new Kunifer lines to.

I will have 2 Apexi filters in very good condition, that will be for sale, once I go back to Portuner in the Spring.

Looks like you could do with a new air filter there Stephen :yes:

From memory Nick and looking at the photo it is just a push fit into the hole, as the back of the grommet is square and the hole in the return of the wing is also square that's how it stops from rotating when screwing it all together.

Joels photo is the correct item, for the first fitting at the edge of the wing. I bought two of these when I fitted my Twinz bumper last year, at the time CZP had them labelled up incorrectly in their parts bin, and I kept getting sent a similar, but not the correct grommet. Finally go the correct parts after 2-3 weeks of emails and photos. :angry: - - - Updated - - - Wait until you have added their cheapest shipping to it as well:thumbdown:

I have a WS that I bought from CZP 2 years ago. Engine has been out once since fitted and the plenum off a couple of times, but to my knowledge no issues, thus far.

Not a fan of the wheels on the Stillen car tbh

Just removed from my car £25 Including P & P

Thanks for taking the time to check the pipe diameter Redwine300. Jim many thanks for the link and info on the pile flaring tool, much appreciated. I will make sure a post up the pictures once I get to replacing the brake lines.

No oil in either on the lines. The oil cooler isn't to bad, can't remember the motor, but I will get some photos for you.

Old subframe stripped of everything Now just a pile of parts to start cleaning up, painting and re-bushing

I wouldn't want to attempt the brake lines, with the subframe in situ, if would be more of a faff. Dropping the subframe wasn't as bad as thought it might be. Don't suppose you remember what diameter pipe you bought do you?

Anyone know the diameter of the brake pipes? I have found on the US forum that the flare nuts for the calipers are 10mm x 1mm pitch. Can anyone confirm that this size is the same for all the pipes that bolt into the "junction blocks" like the ABS unit please?

Already remove the HICAS Alic, jusr prior to dropping the subframe. A nice new Driftworks lock bar is going back eventually. Still a long way to go as I will be replacing all the rear brake lines at the same time. No worries about the oil lines, I saw them before I went to far, just couldn't get to them until the frame had dropped slightly.

Well today the subframe was finally removed from the car, not to bad once everything was out the way. Nearly missed the 2x feeds from the top of the diff, that go to the oil cooler, but seeing as I am going to remove it anyway I just cut the hoses to the cooler. Tomorrow I will start remove the control arms etc so I can get all the parts powder coated.

I have mixture including Teng socket set, spannners, as well as Britool spanners in the larger sizes and their ratchet spanners. Like others have mentioned I have a few Halfords items as well, that have served me well, but I don't think their quality is quite as good as my other brands.

Oooh interesting....:cool2:

Remember going to see Wham at Brighton back in he 80's. RIP George

Anyone else treat their Zed? Couldn't resist this recently, as I had promised myself no more spending on the engine until after the respray, :ph34r:

Merry Christmas to all. I hope that you all have a great festive break

Interesting, I wonder where all the money generated from this would end up???? Not back in the local community I am sure. Probably some off shore/investment company, with connections to the Council :taz: Lets f*i#g hope that this doesn't get passed!

I will defiantly be giving them a try, next time I need some OEM parts. Thanks Andy :cool2:

Also make sure you use the correct coolant as well, see thread below http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?181225-Coolant-antifreeze-recommendation-amp-quantity&highlight=coolant+type Post #8 - really useful detail/s

Used the Wynn's product many years ago when I first had the zed. Then flushed the system, with the clean water from the garden hose until I was sure it was as clean as possible. Then added the correct anti-freeze. I be doing the same again this year just to keep the cooling system in tip top condition. As I think the cooling system sometimes gets forgotten about, in relation to the oil servicing etc. Personally I'm not sure I would put any additive in there tbh, but that's just me.
