Busted rad drain plug
If the plug will come out then try a bit of insulation tape round the thread and screw it back in. Might just seal it tighter and no mess to remove if you change your mind.

steering fault
Does it go light when driving quickly and heavy at parking speeds? It might be the speed sensor on the gearbox thats faulty. If the car doesn't know what speed you are doing it can't run the power steering correctly. I think they are about £85 ish? Might be wrong. This might also show as the speedo sometimes behaving erraticaly.

powerflow - how much???
Hmmmm that's £1001 inc VAT! Must be an amazing exhaust! I got mine made up by JP Exhausts for about £450 for full stainless cat back with whatever tailpipes you want and it's superb. They have done systems for quite a few Z's through GPS. Give Johnny a call.

Fluid loss
Park the car and get someone to look under the car as you move the steering from lock to lock, holding it for a few seconds at it's furthest points. This is when there's most pressure in the system and you might be able to see it dripping (or in my case spraying out!)

Automatic Gear Box
That sounds like the clutch packs are on their way out :S Happened to mine under hard acceleration in 3rd then got worse and started to do it in 2nd until eventually 3rd was like neutral and I could only use 2nd at low power. If thats it then it's rebuild time :(

Automatic Gear Box
Yeah it's obviously an import non-turbo so you probably still have the speed restrictor at about 112mph? (I think) The auto box goes into power mode by itself if you boot it and also turns off the aircon compressor to give you a bit more power. Complicated things these Z's ;)

DIY Divorce?
Yeah but how do you agree on who pays the £130? Do you split the costs or what?! LOL :D

Strange you should mention that, someone thought I was into boats the other day. She said "Is that a canoe in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" ;) Groan...

A-Plan on 01256 355641 or 0845 0711234 One of those numbers is their specialist vehicle section at Thatcham but I can't remeber which is which stored on my mobile! They do imports and were the cheapest for me.

wide arch kit
As far as I know there are only 2 versions available: The one from Strosek/Paul Bailey/Z Centre (All are from the design by Strosek AFAIK) and one I haven't yet seen on a car by SE Nissan which is a bit more squared off from the panel I saw up at PPS. The large scoops in them are all custom made though. They come as a seperate panel that you can modify and fit where you like.
