Ignition issues now! Tried to start her up and get power only at the ignition stage. So looks like i have a wiring issue. Anyone got a picture of the rear of the ignition to compare? I think i have two wires round the wrong way.

UK Quarter glass getting fitted and when its set I'll attached the new trims :

Found them on ebay, thanks everyone

rebuild kit ordered and when the brakes arrive ill take plenty of pics and update my build thread.

yeh, That's the daily driver but it belongs to the wife ! It was at JAE last year but had to park it in the carpark after the first day as it was spotted, lol

Would it not be too late if you are dead and defeat the purpose of having the switch ? :)

The old callipers are cast iron and badly corroded so not worth it to anyone hence why I have this issue. I'll get the callipers from banzai and order the rebuild kits for them and tackle it myself as doesn't look that hard to do.

Four more clips arrived today so nipped to the garage and fitted them to the water pipes. Ready for the coolant refill shortly.

Going for replacement callipers from banzai for now. Any ideas where to get a rear seal and piston kit ? Don't seem to see any on ebay.

Need to buy a few of these in various sizes to replace worn / broken and missing ones from various panels. Anyone actually know what they are called so I can do an ebay search on them ?

never thought about that so may buy the ones pete mentioned for now.

great but just paid £200 for all new discs and pads. :(

Just standard Nissan ones.

As much as I want a big brake set I simply cant afford it unless a sub £500 set comes up which I doubt will happen. I don't have the experience or the time at the moment and looking at my broken caliper it looks trashed.

Been quoted £400 to get my calipers refurbished. Stripped down, new pistons, seals and then painted. The garage are friends of mine so getting discount but wondered if that is a good deal ?

Good man !

Theres a huge list of things still needing done by slowly it is getting smaller day by day. As long as the weather holds out i'll be putting in a few hours at night after works over the next week. Heres a few pictures before she was pushed back in to sleep.

What a day its been, started off bad with the brake pipe mishap but things went great for the rest of the day. Completed the fuel rail pipe system, fitted the bumper support bar and then popped the bumper back on followed by new signal looms and fitted the front fogs and indicators. Repositioned the clips for the polished pipes so not as much of the bolts heads show and they don't block the bonnet from closing properly. Fitted the battery and setup the new loom ready to be crimped later on in the week. Also fitted the front water pipes and viscous fan again

So the question is, is the zcentre kit i see the only thing i need to fix this mess? Or do i need to order new copper bits too which was what snapped?

Well looks like another shite day. Bought a caliper compressor tool which was totally wrong and in attempts to makeshift sone way to push the calipers back in to fit the new pads i dropped the whole bloody thing and it snapped the brake line.

I'm planning to make a new battery loom or at least replace the top half for new and I need to connect the old and new looms together with crimped butt joints. Anyone have any experience with this ? I've looked on the old ebay and say the following tool and also saw a video of it in use so I know it should work but not sure how to measure the wire and get the crimps needed. Does any one know the sizes of the battery cable, is it 16mm and 10mm ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311393601814

The bolts go all the way through the wall so the wall will come down first. But thanks for the suggestion.

its not a steep hill or anything just very rough ground which makes it hard to push the zed on.
