It passed! :hyper: Couple of adviserys but nothing of any concern, slight play in one ball joint and an engine oil leak which I knew about anyhow. Just need to finish fitting my 99 spec spoiler now!

Just about to take the Zed for its MOT, should have been done at the beginning of April but I forgot :x::nono: Wish me luck! (I am quietly confident though...):wack:

The Skyline didn't :x::rofl:

Couldn't you just pull the fuseable link under the bonnet? That would have the same effect without the hassle of emptying the boot. HTH

My daughter has only just turned 1 and she is already costing me more than my Zeds ever did!, but its worth every penny. You must be very proud Iain. Gareth

Here you go, about 1/3 of the way down the page... http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=24 Less than £500 for a brand new one.

Pretty quick but do a google for Sammy Miller and the Vanishing Point drag car. 1/4 mile in 3.58 seconds, now thats fast!!!

I was having the exact same issue, so bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-X-12V-AUTOMATIC-CAR-MOTORCYCLE-TRICKLE-CHARGER_W0QQitemZ330233306383QQihZ014QQcategoryZ30900QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em124 Since then I have had no problems. Cost me about £13 delivered Gareth

fugly...

If you have a Partco in your town it may be worth trying them. The one in Chester will mix paint up from the code.

There goes the last of my workplace productivity then.......

Take a look at the image at the top of the link below, it just about shows that the front mounts are embossed with the logo. http://www.trust-power.com/04cooling/intercooler_R.html Though with the way you come over in this thread, I am not sure why I looked for you to be honest...

I'm stuck in work, we are in the middle of a shutdown and I am the duty Purchasing Manager for the day. So far had precisely 0 calls. Oh well, getting well paid to surf the interweb and listen to music.... ;)

I've just bought that exact same one. Does exactly what I want it to. My battery drains quite quickly due to something drawing a small current somewhere. This charger is great as you can just leave it switched on and it will charge automatically when the battery voltage drops beyond a certain level. I paid about £13 all in for it. Gareth

350z IS available with Tiptronic but only as an import. The UK spec ones are all manwell.

I am considering one of these as a daily driver, I can't have the 350Z as I have a child so need the back seat. Same engine & chassis as the 350Z, lots of them are tiptronic (though I'd be after a manual), and more are starting to be available now. Known as the Skyline 350GT (or Infiniti G35 in the USA).

99% sure they are M12 x 1.25 (i.e. fine thread type)

Audi S4 or S6?

Honda Civic - lots around which are autos, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 engines available, plenty of 5 doors around, bulletproof reliability and tend to have been owned by an 84 year old called Reg so likely to be in good condition.

In Blacon you say? Won't be on there for long then ! :x: Do you do work on homes/garages as well? May have a job later in the spring that needs sorting... Gareth

Clarion Service & Parts Centre: 01793 770730 Seem to be more of a 'send away' repair service but their website clearly refers to spare parts as well. Gareth

Mike Feeney is an approved reseller I believe as well...

Thanks for the replies, looks like I am on the right track. Will go to the motor factors tomorrow and get a replacement. Gareth

Need a second opinion on this please. I have been having a problem with the battery on the Zed going flat quite quickly (car isn't in regular use, but is kept garaged). So I recharged & left the battery with the negative terminal disconnected for a couple of nights to tell if the battery was the problem. Checked it last night and the voltage had dropped to 10volts which wasn't enough to even turn the engine over. So does this sound like a duff battery then? There isn't any way that a parasitic power drain can cause the voltage drop if the circuit is left open (as far as I am aware!), is there?. I have tested for a power drain to the best of my ability using the amps setting on my multimeter but couldn't detect anything of significance. Don't want to go buying another battery and find the problem is still there if I can avoid it. Cheers...

Convertibles were only ever available as a non-turbo automatic. You could always go for a manual conversion though (approx 1.5K fitted)
