ive been fitting led reverse lights today .firstly fitted them into centre panel all nice and neat . then gave them a test on the bench (kitchen worktop ) connected up to car battery charger and they light up a treat . took down and fitted to the car and checked for live feed and earth . using the green and black wires that connect to original reverse lights . select reverse with ignition on and getting a good circiut until i connect to the new lights and nothing . now the lives are going where they should and good earths but no light . has anybody got any ideas what im missing here . its so straight forward yet im completely stumped why the lights work fine on 12volts in the house but not in the bloody zed

and me:punk:

so so much easier with the exhaust off . i did mine with the zorst still on . what a PITA

ive just opened up a spare switch and agreed it looks a very difficult one to do .

hello gra . have you ever tried illuminating the cruise control switches on the steering wheel . seems daft that they dont light up . i know you have modded other bits to light up . just wondered whether you,d ever had a go at these andy

definately sounds like it needs a bleed . valve on the left hand side of rad as groover said best done with front end raised .

do a search ian on the ozzy site . theres a good write up with pics showing the same job on a z31 or it might be the earlier 32

no mate not the stroke stopper the other inner socket on the other side of the power cylinder . like undoing a bike wheel . the stroke stopper will stay put due to the lock nut . just check the gap between the stroke stopper and the lock nut with a feeler guage incase it moves . should be about 2mm iirc . i cant remember now if its a 30 or 32 mm

i changed mine a while back . on mine the inner socket was worn and that was where all the play was . its bloody difficult getting spanners onto the nut marked inner socket in the green section but you have to lock up one side to undo the other . wedge a spanner on inner socket one side and undo the inner socket the other side . there is very little room to turn the spanners so it takes quite a while . as jeff said you wont lose any fluid but knuckle skin loss is a definate . make sure you mark the threads with a bit of tipex or tape so you know where to tighten them back up too

only a guess daz but could it be a problem with the ballasts on the hid,s . good luck with it anyhow mate . bet its only something simple though but still a real head do-er

i had a similar thing when the bottom pulley failed . the bearing collapsed and it seezed . have a look at the small bottom pulley by the power steering pump

its the auxillary fan . kicks in on high engine temp . keep it there as a safe guard .

good shout stu . always good to know . any idea if the courtesy light lens is usable in a zed

seats are the same but the belts are on the doors in the jap models so the little fellas can reach them

yes the rears were recent replacements . the fronts on mine were totally knackered so i replaced all round for some agx s .

the standard suspension is good . i have a set of standard rear struts with only 1000 miles on them if you are interested

food for thought there chris but ideally would like to get a new plastic cover to keep it looking stock . surely nissan stuck these lenses on another model . bit like the chrome door handles on the terrano .

does anybody know whether nissan used this design light lens on any of its other models . mine has the usual burnt brown spot in the middle . just wondered if anyone has found a usable replacement from another car. cheers andy

excellent find chris . this is gonna be very usefull

alan can you get intouch mate about the rear markers . ive left pm for you but not had a reply . i need your address mate to post your item . cheers andy

fancy spray painting on your nippers face . lol

i was gonna put my list up but after looking at sudesh,s list i got a bit embarresed . three that were a lot of fun are renault fuego gtx carlton 3ltr 827 stirling

havent got a clue jeff about website designs or meta tabs . maybe you could add FAIRLADY and VG30DETT into the key words . possibly even add club sites if allowed aswell .

that will be very handy for closing your wallet too . lol
