  1. Afraid not compared between the two the fixing points are different. @andy jameswas considering it when he looked at mine at Japfest. It might be possible if the fixing points were re welded in the correct location, but I couldn’t say for sure. 

  2. Had this common problem with mine a couple of years ago. New genuine slave, braided clutch line and high temp fluid supplied and fitted by the cougar store and it’s been all good since. I bet Tarmac Sportz could sort you out too if it’s closer for you veeg. :thumbs:

  3. Time for a little update. 

     

    After the zed had been tucked up all winter it was time to blow the cobwebs off and go to a little local meet at melbricks organised by @davey_83  I say little, though over thirty zeds it was a great turn out. 

    Now to get there involved going on the dreaded M6, which you’d think on a early Sunday morning would be traffic free. Yeah right ! Getting stuck in traffic I noticed that the temp gauge was higher than usual, not in the red but not looking good. I quickly turned the air con on and luckily that brought the temp down then I got off the first exit which I could. 

    When getting to the meet I popped the bonnet and to my suprise both rad fans where running and cutting in and out as they should :shrug:

    After the meet we went for a drive out, then after the drive home with no problem at all. How ever not getting stuck in traffic and opting for the twisty way home helped. :drive1

    Once home I decided to do a little investigating as regards to the fan motors. By unplugging the motors and applying 12volts direct from the battery to the motors, first to the speed one terminals, then the speed two terminals and low and behold neither of the motors worked on speed one. 

    I decided that with Japfest fast approaching and not wanting to get caught out in the ques, the quickest option for me was to get a nice shiny mishimoto fan shroud kit. 

    A couple of days later it was delivered.

    Then fitted. 2FEE74EB-3E74-4761-B0E7-71E93416549C.jpeg.43c64bc9c8800fef140ce42471a470f9.jpegA68483D6-BF22-471C-942B-81E51636DCDB.jpeg.55ebb2f0d7b193136c688697f70d30bb.jpegC6CE68FD-18A9-47BA-B967-87FC24504911.jpeg.da699a9b5219dbacad6d3ed4a18e3807.jpeg

     

    Once fitted having had to remove the top hose to get the old fans out and the new ones in, it was just a case of topping up with coolant about a litre and a half in this case.

    Now it’s know that the mishimoto fans are louder than stock as they are single speed and both run together, but to be honest it doesn’t bother myself at all, plus it’s a bit more bling in the bay. :teeth:

  4. Thanks once again to Andy and everyone involved in making this show and club stand great once again. literally all of us that is. Well done guys, great effort by everyone. :clap:

    I had great pleasure in helping Andy out with the mamouth task of getting us all parked and hope I didn’t annoy too many people with the forward/back a bit antics :lol:

    I’ve been to my fare share of these shows now and have learnt the hard way that it pays to ware sun screen even on a cloudy day for all you guys that are a little red today !

    Looking forward to the next one.

    HELP with Wasso Spacer Requested!

     

    Just getting round to fitting this - had it in the garage for a couple of years! but confused regarding the spacer washers that sit under the plenum. They are threaded? So am I supposed to screw these onto the bolts first and then fasten down the plenium or place the spacer washers, then the plenium on top and then screw in the bolts? Please help as its doing my head in! Cheers Rich

    Screw the spacers on to the bolts first, as you don’t want them falling in the engine. That’s what I’d did anyway.  :thumbs:

    Ahhh the old fans! My car over heated and broke down the first day I got it! Luckily the garage I bought it from replaced the fans and thermostat free of charge. I just had new ones from Nissan, the Mishimoto ones are really loud :wacko:

    I’ve heard that mate, but gonna give them a go anyway. Could always replace motors at a later date if I find them too loud, though the few times the zed comes out I reckon they’ll be fine.

    No worries mate, I avoided the M6 and took the twisty way home :drive1
