No idea, but I've seen it on quite a few of them.

Heater fan "clicking"
Manual, and yeah it's coming from the area of the passenger footwell.

What did you do to your zed today?
Yup have seen the guide, just wondered if there was someone selling them done!

SWB Silver spotted at. Mondello
How often does that really happen though? There seems to be a lot of supras registered as 1.6L or 2.0L, that sounds a lot riskier to me!

Looks great, where did you get it?

Engine oil
According to this it's 10W30 for moderate climates: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=ma&dir=&config=&refresh=&direction=forward&scale=0&cycle=off&slide=11&design=default&total=33

drivers door
From the picture you posted on Facebook I'd say the door could be repaired, would be worth a try.

Engine oil
I'm using Castrol Edge 5W-40 fully synthetic now and it's running well. I do notice the oil pressure is dropping more at idle, nearly to 1kgf/cm2 as opposed to 2kgf/cm2 previously (don't know what oil was in it). I believe 10W-30 is recommended but it's very hard to get here.

Heater fan "clicking"
Really starting to bother me, there's this periodic "clicking" noise from the interior fan. It seems to vary in noise, location and frequency based on the setting, but is unrelated to the AC itself. I plan to replace the bulbs in the instrument panel soon so is there anything I should check?

I haven't heard of any major repercussions. I don't think there's much they can do once it's insured correctly.

What did you do to your zed today?
Passed with no advisories, even though I was told off for filming them putting it on the rollers! Tester said he didn't like my Recaros, pfft! I have the square-style ones on the back, just thought the longer format would look better on the front.

What did you do to your zed today?
Currently queuing to put the car through its first NCT. Hopefully it's a positive sign that the testers have been shouting about it since I got here!

water leak in the boot
Just noticed a very similar leak on mine today, minor one. I don't think it's coming from the spoiler but the wiper is a possibility. Which spoiler do you have? Rust spot for reference: I've yet to have a thorough look but I don't think there's any signs elsewhere.

Back in a ZX after three years!
Looks like a great Z, best of luck.

Terenure 2015
No worries and best of luck. I'll hopefully be at the Cherrywood C&C next month if you still go to those.

You get your car registered as a van, then can pay cheaper tax (around €333 PA I think). It's commonly been done with cars like 300ZX, Supra and 350Z, which seem to somewhat satisfy the criteria. It's becoming a bit dodgy though, legally. Also means a different form of vehicle testing, and insurance works differently. In the case of a 2+2 you'll need to have your rear seats removed and carpet over it.

Yeah I've heard they are cracking down on it, and also they're refusing to renew tax on RX7s that are [legitimately] registered as 1300cc now too! ****ers Wouldn't want to do that to my Z though anyway, even if it is ripping me off

Yup give it a minute... or rather an hour, my upload speed is terrible.

The tan leather interior really is lovely! Commercial conversion on it - doesn't seem like any real sacrifice for a SWB!

Terenure 2015
'twas a good show today, turnout was probably hampered by the wet weather early on but I spotted three other zeds anyway. Disappointed with the lack of club presence though! Some pictures that definitely hint towards my taste in cars! Zeds first... mostly mine :D Nice chap called Ramsey owns this TT, 350bhp he says from dyno. Pointed him in the direction of the club. Also has a really cool 200ZR! Never saw the owner of this car but three people have sent me pictures of it recently at various spots around the city! SWB TT, appears to be an ex-club car if anyone knows it With the missus... this is orientated correctly on my system, dunno what's wrong with vBulletin.
