Merry ? Christmas

Welcome to the club, good luck on your search.

I have owned the 90’s Supra turbo MR2’s Celica 4 Turbo, but my favourite has always been the 300zx TT. Good luck on your search.

RIP David, I too grew up in his era was a real caricature.

Happy Birthday ?

Not much has been done, my friend put petrol in his diesel Saturday ruining my day, I had to sort it for him. Pistons in all callipers now, I also started the engine ran it up to temperature all good so far. Brakes going back on this week, I need to move the car because my brother is coming for Christmas and wants his car out of the garage for next Monday. I found it easier to put the dust boots on the piston first then push the piston almost all the way back so the cover stays over the edge then the retaining spring can be fitted.

That looked excellent well done, defiantly one for the bucket list.

Wow what an amazing trip, good news is so rare these days. Well done.

Happy Birthday ?

Happy Birthday ?

What a nightmare hope you did not get hurt. Someone on eBay has blue tint SWB door glass for sale

Thanks, I used a pair of mole grips some cardboard turned it side to side while gently prying a little on each side with some pliers.

For those who want to know. Calliper pistons not out far enough. Piston on left could be out a little further, piston on the right is at maximum and can be removed by hand. Today I cleaned my callipers some more, and installed front stainless steel pipes.

Excellent work, getting mine done soon.

That’s super quick, very well oiled machine.

Most people have there preferred oil, I’ve never had a problem with.

That is the guide I’m following, the only thing I do not have is an air gun, so the first time I put a piece of wood in and made sure all the pistons moved, then took the callipers home I could not move the pistons out. I had to take them back to the car and use more wood, pumped the pedal till they nearly popped out, a couple did pop out but are then easy to push back in with your fingers, then on to the next one. It is a fiddly job, but more than doable for a home job. I will clean them up new seals and then back on the car, not going to the expense of painting them, I just want to be safe and knew it had not been done before. This rear one took a piece of wood a bracket and a spanner for an exact fit, so I can release the pistons at home. A bowl is needed there is a lot of brake fluid behind the pistons and you don’t want that everywhere.

While waiting for the F1 to start. Yuck First cleaning stage.

Lee So sorry for you, I feel your pain. I will do my brakes then leave it till next year. Never give up on your dreams. Tony

I have a pair from Luke good quality.

Crazy not sure it would fit back in a Z.

I had that problem, as you click on a picture a + symbol will appear top corner of photo click or press that.

While I rest waiting for my trapped nerve to get better, I have been slowly cleaning my callipers, my friend Took them off for me. I also received my new front number plate.

Fantastic thank you
