cheers for all the replies thats been a great help. Im going to get rid of all that i can before i start putting her back together, several people have recommended cleaning all the arches out properly an then wax oiling them to give it a protective coat and i think its just a case of treating whatever i can find! Will let you know what i unveil! thanks again guys!

thanks, yeah thats what im doing at the moment, scrubbin down the areas with a wire brush getting off what i can.

Getting a bit worried about my car being wrote off from rust, are the any notriously known spots on the car?heard tales about checking behind the rear seats, anyone know of this? tailgate which im replacing has rusted quite badly, and a power steering have done the same so alarm bells are ringing, its a 1994 uk tt. cars currently up on stands so ive got good access to underneath, also front bumper and all the radiators are off so ive got good front access to sum chasis members underneath, cleaning it up at the moment & thinkin of givin it a coat of hammerite or rust stop.any suggestions? thanks kesh

cheers mate, appreciate the advice. Ill give them a try. Whilst ive got all the radiators out is there anything worth changing whilst i have access to all the belts, i was going to change my fan belt, Is the crankseal hard to change? cambelt was done 20k ago so going to leave that. Im doin a general service and if theres any other parts down there that are prown to fail i wanna replace them, ne1 suggest changing anything? cheers for the help guys, appreciated as always.

Hi guys. Im having a bit of a zed nightmare at the moment, i have a corroded power steering pipe behind the front bumper, i can physically see where the fluid is spraying/leaking from the pipe. I removed the front bumper to get a closer look at the pipe, and its the pipe that runs from the power steering reservoir vertically down the car to the bottom of the bumper, along the bottom of the air con rad and the rest of the rads, then pops up through the other side of the car into the bottom of the engine. I got mike feeney to fax over the layout of the pipe on the car and in order to replace it i need to remove what seems like an additional 2/3rds of the car! the pipe runs from one side of the car to the other inter winding between other pipes. The pipe starts on rubber hose then turns into metal pipe, i wish to replace it with reinforced high pressue hose all the way through, does anyone know if this will be ok? Instead of following the pipe through its original route, (which is not the quickest route for where it goes) I want to pybass it along the crosss member and straight up to the power steering reservoir. - Can anyone see any harm in doing this? and is there any particular reason nissan laid the pipe the way they have? When i had to remove the air con radiator, the two massive nuts on either side that you have 2 release was being so arsy, i got one side off to reveal whoever did it last time corss threaded them, the other side had to be cut because it was shanked, can i just replace it with a bit of hose? the other option is a new air con rad because the pipes are welded on to the rad. arghh! any help/ advice is much apprciated, i feel like giving up! i only found out about the power steering pipe moments after i just spent a day replacing the oil sump which is fiddly enough! thanks

Sorry Dan didnt see your reply in time, thanks for the info tho i ended up ordering elsewhere but cheers all the same. happy xmas guys cant wait to service her!

cheers darrell, just checking on this chaps site from sxoc.he sells big brake conversion's but by the sounds of it he brings the package together himself. can anyone recommend this guy or have used him before? "330mm Plain big brake conversion (Uses R32 GTR or R33 GTS-T calipers (not supplied)" by what his site says above its seems the r32 gtr can house 330mm brakes, as opposed to stock calipers peaking at 315? correct me if im wrong guys. thanks

Hi guys, a friend has offered some mint r32 gtr brakes in good working order...i know the r33 skyline brakes are a good upgrade but are the r32 gtr brakes better than the zed? thanks guys. Kesh

cheers rodders thats a great help, ive got the car on axle stands so ive just gotta aquire a hoist so i can hold the engine then im getting stuck in! thanks for the heads up on the dip stick, will let u know how it goes. cheers guys

Found this on ebay, bit too cheap at £28 for a brand new apexi induction kit? will this fit the 300zx? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-APEXi-Power-Intake-Air-Filter-for-NA-Turbo_W0QQitemZ270151968952QQihZ017QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD9VQQcmdZViewItem

Hi guys, quick question...myt seem bit stupid but are the apexi induction kits you can buy for the 300zx the same as that fits to skyline r33 gtr? they look the same however would it just be the case of buying new adaptor plate to make them fit to the 300zx? thanks kesh

I know i was gutted as the expected cost to tow back 80 miles was close to £300-400! luckily they didnt send an assesor down and the aa engineer said he would report it as corrosion and hope they wouldnt ask questions! luckily they didnt... Anyway does anyone have any tips or advice on the removal of the oil sump? i understand i need to release the subframe and hoist the engine slightly in order to be able to release the full oil sump, anything i should watch out for?

Hi was mine there aswell by anychance? thanks kesh
