Check the seals on the quarter panel air filters, mine degraded and started letting water in the boot well. From the picture it looks like the left one is broken. 

Hi all

Since selling my Z, i have a few parts available for Sale, only looking to recoup what I paid and not rip anyone off.

Anything stuck under the car? Plastic bags etc stuck and melted to the underside?

A nice little investment may be a OBD reader (and associated app)

Helps identify these issues. I have the below one:

I also have a Haynes manual for repairs which I'll offer for free (as I had it from a member on here also for free?

Hopefully I'll get the post up after the weekend 

If you take the T pipes off the wipers, do you still get water out of them?

When I refurbed my wipers the jets packed up, turns out they were full of crud so I spent a whole afternoon (really!) Pumping hit water through them with a syringe, blowing them through with compressed air and digging crud out with a stripped down paperclip 

Worked perfectly after that

Sold  - please lock 

Thanks @Dicky

I hadn't seen the response above the latest.

Yeah I think think mine was due to over revving. Not experienced it since and pedal is back to normal. It had a squeak the other day but that's ironed itself out now also.   

Cheers for the info 

Photos and descriptions updated.

Cheers Andy, it'll be a shame to see the Z g but needs must

Looking for £7300 - Based in Bristol

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here or send me a PM.

thanks for the advice. Yes I've a rev-up so its external. Can you get to the slave without jacking the car up? 

I've got a replacement slave kit I purchased from Tarmac when they had an offer on but didn't want to swap the slave until I did the clutch and flywheel.

WD40 good enough to grease it?

Hi, hoping someone can advise on the below...

Always seems to be something wrong at the moment. 

My clutch pedal when lifting off makes a loud squeak which is audible outside of the car.

Clutch seems to be operating ok but it also makes a clunky noise but pretty sure it's been there since I bought the car.

Short video below.

What do you reckon?

Thanks 

Mike

Got them off this evening, replaced all 4 with standard nuts. 

One more job off the list!

Quick q, Is the recharge stuff good? I ordered some yesterday for my pop charger 

@ZMANALEX may be able to offer some advice. If you're close to a specialist it may be worth taking it to them to give it a once over. Horsham dev etc

I'm sure someone with more experience will be along shortly to advise on Tyres and Brakes however for Oil and Filter - check out Opie Oils, put your reg in and it will list the correct oils and filters, they usually do a discount as a service 'kit' and have voucher codes running most months. Defo worth a look.

That arch repair though 

@Dicky did you ever get to the bottom of this? My house is on a steep-ish hill with little manoeuvre room so it can be a pain to reverse park

Past two times there's been a weird smell, drives ok though but the clutch pedal has become a little spongy / noisy when it's being operated etc 

Crazy price but yeah, its certainly raises alarm bells. 

Where are you based? Any Nissan Z specialists around? Offer them a sweetener to come and see it with you 

Have a look at @vroom811 videos, some really helpful guides and he's just done a full strip down of his underside. Use that to compare yours and you should have a really good idea of what needs doing.

Thought I had a cast iron pension with my current employer of 7 years, nice final salary pension I pay 21.5% of my wage into so I could retire at a 60+ age rather than 70+ I expect it to become (i am 35), Sadly this year its all been shattered, must have been made from British steel (previous employer and that pension went belly up, but has floated to the surface hopefully without going into PPF).

So Now I am looking at a new pension with my employer who I couldn't trust for @*&% with my money. Do I take the £4K cash in hand softner and invest/spunk however I want or trust them with £8K ( incentive to put money into the pension without tax hit.)

 

For me its premium bonds and fingers crossed. 

 

Most of the younger folk I work with just don't realise how much money they will need when they retire to be comfortable. Happy to pay minimum into pensions.

 

As stated its tax efficient to pay more into them, but as long as I keep it under the tax threshold at the other side, I will be happy + no major outgoings.

 

Sadly I get envious of my parents who have pensions close to their incomes after tax when they were employed.

 

Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

 

 

Big money, big money, 1 mil PB. lol. Odds also look surprisingly good once you have decent money in.

My dad had a final salary pension with British steel, luckily he got out before it went tits up but a lot of his pals got totally shafted. 

Great colour, car looks good from the picture. 

Fingers crossed it's just routine maintenance stuff that needs doing 

This reminds me that I need to look into consolidating all my small pots from various jobs I've worked before. Have a few public sector pension pots, each with a few years contribution and a few private pots but recently as my employer has been quite generous with pay rises recently I've whacked up the % I pay coupled with a salary sacrifice scheme to try and give me the best possible chance at an earlier retirement 

Absolutely, can't wait to take the Z out for a proper trip rather than the occasional jaunt to Tesco!
