GSC

KYB adjustable rear shocks and Goodridge SS braided brake hoses (front and rear) fitted....sailed through the MoT with no advisories :thumbup:

I know where you are coming from Si...but...unless you are going to buy something really special/exotic....then you'll just be another bloke in another (similar looking) sports car...do you even notice an AM DBx on the road?...they're cool... but don't get people asking 'what was that?' as they go past. If a man of your....not inconsiderable means ...needs to 'scratch an itch' then do it by all means....but lay up the old girl in storage while you get it out of your system :whistling:

Chris...I would appreciate that :biggrin:...I need the top left button [ Thanks Gary

The stock exhaust has larger diameter chrome finishers...(outrageously expensive from Nissan!)....I have a used set (that would need some attention) if anyone was looking for them

Luke...I'm not too far from you...I could pop over and show you exactly how they come off ....if the timings work?

Actually I was directed to the 'Sports' section and not the 'Classic' on arrival as they thought it wasn't old enough :whistling:

Luke...Does the car have standard 'orange' rear lights or has it been fitted with 99 spec 'clear' rear lights and red centre section?....if the latter I am interested in those. Many thanks Gary

Last weekend involved some 'enthusiastic' driving (150+ miles) across the stunning Lake District countryside in beautiful weather....this weekend.... another outing...but at a more leisurely pace.... Took part in the London to Brighton Classic Car run yesterday....fantastic weather...interesting route through the Kent and East Sussex countryside with a stop at Penshurst Place.....and some fantastic cars on display. As far as I could see (500+ cars) I was in the only 300ZX...but there were two 240z taking part I was interviewed at the finish line where the commentator stated he had been looking forward to seeing my car as it was "The first Japanese Super Car" My car performed impeccably (again) even when confronted with dozens of cyclists taking part in a race up Ditchling Beacon....which meant slipping first gear up narrow roads behind the struggling cyclists!....many older cars struggled with fuel starvation (such a steep incline) and burned out clutches! As well as the Classic Car run (>25 years old) there was a Sports and Kit car run taking a different route that interchanged with the main route...so pretty much anyone could have taken part. I have a very red face and arms (roof off going there)...roof on and A/C cranked up on the way home....great day all round.

Ian & Richard...PM me your mobile numbers and I'll send you an invite...it very intuitive to use :thumbup1:

Are there ANY Zeds going? :confused1:

Joel...you seem to have covered everything that could be the cause...so perhaps revisiting some of them may throw some new light on the situation?....like removing the disc and ensuring the contact points on disc and hub are perfectly clean....and perhaps try another set of brake pads...you could have been unlucky enough to have got a duff set....I have had that myself...with brembo pads!

Does anyone attending this fancy joining a "Lakes Weekend" WhatsApp group? That we can keep in contact with each other on the way up and while there. If interested..please PM me you mobile numbers and I will create a group. Thanks Gary

Thanks guys for attending...apologies I didn't spend too much time with you...but was a little busy making sure all the events were running smoothly....next year I will try to organise a 'Best in Show' award for the 'People's Favourite'....there were some seriously nice cars there from the other club...E Type....TR4A....Triumph Stag....1960 Rolls Royce...Ford Consul (1950s/60s)...and many more. Thank you all again....it was a great day (the weather helped!) and we raised approximately £2.5k for a local small ....totally donation funded... charity.

Replaced the headlamp bulbs with OSRAM H3 55w Night Breaker Unlimited units Allegedly +110% brighter & providing +35m distance visibility.....we shall see.... (or Not!)

Joel...If you think it is disc related...instead of splashing £500 on a new set...could you not try a cheap front pair first to try to prove the theory? I'm not sure if you can get 'cheap' rotors for your setup..but if you can...while being a pain...swapping them over to test isn't too big a job....

Done it !.....was stuck in there...can't have been out for years!

Hmmm.....I have removed the spring...bit nothing seems loose....how much slides out?....any pictures?

Help required please.....I have disconnected the wiring....removed the locking ring and rubber boot....how do I get the bulb out? Thanks Gary

Russ...Probably unrelated...but recently I had a ‘similar’ issue where as you put the brakes on and off while moving slowly I got a thump through the pedal. I took the front wheels off to inspect…. as it felt to me as though either the pads, or the caliper itself was loose and moving as the pads grabbed the disc. Inspection revealed that all was as it should be...but the problem persisted and got more noticeable....so I took it to a mechanic friend of mine who observed/felt the issue braking on and off at 5-10 mph around the car park....eventually identifying the problem by lying on the ground as I drove the car towards him...braking on and off. The issue was down to two loose bolts securing the offside front lower control arm. Bolts tightened….thump/grab gone!

BUMP A little reminder....this Saturday people....hope to see many of you there...14:30 arrive Thanks Gary

Subscription renewed. :yes::thumbup:

Thanks all...Ash got me an OEM replacement and it is indeed part# 93094-40P02....I hadn't taken it out of the packaging...otherwise I would have seen the template !
