Just thought i'd drop this on. Wife's 370z started doing odd things with the steering, sometimes randomly getting very heavy. Pump was sometime a bit noisy on full lock, but nothing much different to mine. Fluid levels were good, but I flushed a litre through and got it looking cleaner. Got noisier and noisier, then decided to pull the trigger on a new power-steering pump. Tarmac got me a Hitachi pump really quickly, Thanks Chris, which as far as I can tell is exactly the same as the £1200 one from Nissan. Local garage fitted it an now the steering as probably better than it ever was : )

Had an utter nightmare with steering, randomly felt like it was seizing, fluid levels looked good, pump was randomly noisy, drove great when cold, but went really heavy when hot, I flushed out the fluid, still had random issues. Eventually it got really noisy, ridiculously so on full lock, so I ended up replacing the power-steering pump with the Hitachi one, Tarmac got me one really quickly, thanks again @Chris, and I got a local garage to fit it. As far as I can tell, the pump is the same unit that Nissan charge £1200 for, excluding fitting. So although it was still a bit hit, great result as the steering is better than it's ever been.

Nearly forgot, I've finally got the Silvia logo 3rd brake light in the tailgate wired in : )

So, I'm organising an S12 meet in July, going to try and get at least 20 S12's in the same place : ) And after that she'll be up for sale, I'm thinking offers over £20k including all the spares I've collected including wheels and tyres. That might seem high but it's way less than has gone into the build. I need the cash as we're moving house, plus I'm losing my storage for her. Meet is 19th July.... :,( One of our Z's might go as well, but not yet.......

Thread reads as if there is some confusion on your offer. They are offering you £5681 and you keep the car, or £7475 and they keep the car. I'd get some quotes locally, you could even just swap the door fairly cheaply if you can find a decent colour match, then it's just the rear quarter? Should leave you with some cash to counter the fact you'll lose on the cars future value because it's a CAT N.

Maybe BCM reset?

Bonnet dropped off, so both sold now : )

Just did another drift day at Santa Pod

Bonnet provisionally sold pending collection/drop off : )

PS: For anyone thinking about a track day but worried about being surrounded by lunatics, a novice or session day with Javelin is great, not too many cars on track and set track times.

The official pictures make it look like we were going fast : )

Some pics from Mallory September with Javelin : ) First session was quite damp and slippery but second started to really dry out, by the third I was going round faster than before, probably need to invest in some proper track rubber as most of those overtaking me were on much more expensive rubber, only thing then is I'll probably need even better brakes The old girl did well considering she was the oldest in my group : ) Fun day and the sessions, a set 20 minutes per hour, mean it's quite relaxed.

Another great day at Mallory Park this week, slightly better brake set-up worked well, 20mins on 40mins off, did the full 20 minutes every time without any problems. There was even a 370Z roadster going round aswell. Will get some pics up soon : ) Need to get another DWYB and service in before the years out : )

Bump, still got bonnet, anyone want to make me a silly low offer just message me : )

Cool, thank you : ) Glad your pleased : )
