For those out there contemplating the same job. My new box was an import and went in no probs, I have noticed the ratio seems very slightly shorter.

The car seems quicker off the line, is this a thing? Are Imports slightly quicker 0-60? 

Seems sweet as a nut.

Used 50k box went in today from an Jap import. Looks to be in very good nick, but we shall see.

I was wondering if anyone find use in the old one? Perhaps they rebuild other boxes and could use some spares. Stuck it on Ebay here http://r.ebay.com/weJhcN 

If you want to have Reg / VIN then happy to provide over PM.

Well this is embarrasing. I have owned my Z for going on 5 years  Never filled a seperate Washer tank.

Someone got a pic of where that baby is !

I understand it wont operate if it senses low level, so perhaps thats all it is?

Hi folks.

Searched and searched on here for post to help with my Lamp Washer problem, found this thread which stops without any solution to the problem.

Im sure its been posted before but could not find the fix. 

04 UK GT Washers used to work fine but stopped a year ago, ( they do not move out of the closed state ) No whining or pump sound.

assumed it was a fuse or something. However since you guys and girls have created this awesome forum. Does anyone know where to start debugging this. 

Water full. Windscreen washers work. 

Not sure at the time of writing if the rear has a nozzle, thinking not.

Again help appreciated. Ta.

HI Ryhs,

I have the same as 04 and your paint job is a lot nicer ! Has it been resprayed ? 

Shot looks mint !

Providing it is a 6 speed manual and not an auto box then it will fit, however, you will have to fit a cast UK clutch fork and the appropriate pivot ball.

Alex, having never stripped a box . Can they use my existing UK clutch fork and pivot?

Ha ! thanks for that. As you say, i have owned few cars worth peanuts that people stop me in the street to complement  

Could someone clear up that an 05 import box should fit my 04 UK no probs?

I have had similar. Especially after heavy rain. Like it needs a little throttle to turn over. Also I get quite a loud ticking sound which might be oil lifters. has the Z got these? what are they and should i be hearing that? it goes away after about 10 seconds and only there on realy cold starts.

Toon, I completely agree with that and have bought from alex years past. Was a member on here a long time ago and know Alex is part of the furniture here. I was due to sell the old girl and 1500 + 400 to Drop in and out is going on for half the value mate. No slight on alex intended whatsoever. 

PS for £1600 was quoted a rebuild including new cogs etc OEM ie new box . which sounded a bit too good to be true. 

Cheers Rob,

For some reason I drew a blank searching on Ebay. Big help. so nube questions. 

I have an 04 . Any newer boxed that wont easily slip right in ? ie an 06 07 ? 

Cheers

Thanks Alex,

£1500 is more than I was hoping mate. Anyone know of a lower cost option?

Hi folks.

That day came today when the spirited driving may have finally taken its toll on the box. 

All I noticed was some wheelspin hitting 3rd. Thought Ok whats up with my tyres.

Then moments later hitting 3rd Same thing, then next time I hit 3rd. Nothing. Goes in the selector, but no drive.

Sooo. whats the word on the street to fix this. She has done 125k otherwise in really good nick! 

Am i best refurbishing or looking for a low mileage referb from someones trip to the ditch?

My daily drive, so having to still use it with a missing cog, which im sure is not a great idea.
