I just read through all 11 pages of this and it almost made me horny! an inspiring build and a real credit to what can be achieved through patience and hard work. i am sure that you have the envy of everyone at the club. I love it - a work of art! p.s. what size are you wheels? and width and offset thanks :) tom

Were they difficult to relocate? Assuming the original location is not in the wing (excuse my ignorance) I'll give most things a go on my car usually successfully but am not a mechanic so have to do lots of research first! I am looking to delete or relocate as much from the bay as poss and hadn't heard of this before. Although I may of got completely the wrong end of the stick (if that is the stock location)!! thanks, tom.

fitting a slave cylinder...??
If its dumping the fluid out it sounds like a hydraulic problem, it is worth replacing the line with a braided one, i got mine for £22 quid from MJP on here. I decided to replace my master at the same time as my slave as I heard old master not as efficient with new slave. Bit of a PITA to get to though!

fitting a slave cylinder...??
I managed to do it... and fit a braided line. Never done anything like it before! If I can do it, i'm sure you can too! I used parts of this guide too, which you might useful too http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/179132.html.

Help With Engine part and poss delete
Hi All, I do not know what it is (im guessing some kind of oil feed/return?) but I hate it and I either want to delete it or hide it somewhere. Not my car, just a google pic: Could someone kindly tell me what it is and point me in the right direction of how to do so? Many thanks, Tom

Lynbrooks don't deal with the public direct?
I would agree and Carole Nash is 30. Its a shame that all younger drivers get tarred with the same brush!

Lynbrooks don't deal with the public direct?
After emailing them and leaving a message for a call back I still hadn't heard anything. So I tried again one last time today... eventually got through and the chap asked me how I had heard of Lynbrooks. I said through the 300zx owners club, his 2nd question was, make and model please... I said 300zx!!!!!!!! as I had found out through the club. So all experiences so far had not filled me with confidence but they wouldn't insure me as according to them you have to be 25 to drive at manual TT (erm... anyone with a license can drive one). So sticking with good ole admiral multicar! Tom

Ever thought your Z was trying to tell you something?
I regularly hate mine as it breaks and costs me more money! However, I usually enjoy trying to fix it and love it when its back on the road. Stick with it you know its worth it in the end!!!!!! I just wish there was more space in the engine bay... and its definitely trying to tell me something when the exhausts scrape on the floor!
