How often do you use the car? and when you say coolant what exactly do you mean? actual red watery coolant or the oil was a browny discoloured gunk?

Good practice to do both as why wouldn’t you if the tensioner has started to fail

Can vouch for Alex and you’ll get it a lot quicker!

Looks good mate, didn’t think they did white on white so that’s a nice win there! Hr in white is also a win? FairPlay have fun!

As Alex has mentioned sounds like you’ve got a few issues here which could be different symptoms, * unfortunately it’s fairly common that some garages clean the carriers too aggressively and take away the carrier material itself allowing the pads to move too freely in the carriers - also another point, does it have the shims installed correctly? sometimes when they’re missing or thrown away you get that click noise. * the squeaky bed sound as Alex suggested seems to be possible mot related to the handbrake shoes, I would have thought that the garage would have adjusted these when replacing discs and pads. However sometimes the shoes wear unevenly and can sometimes interfere with the mating surface, another thing to note is if the shoes are catching there’s only the two spring retainers holding the shoes in which could be your creaky noise id suggest removing the discs and assessing the state of the shoes and adjustment to rule out of the equation. when you are low speed braking, have you used the handbrake slowly to see if the noise stops or becomes worse? we’ve had it before where someone takes the old discs off without de adjusting the handbrake pulls the spring retainer through the crusty backing plate and then the spring then goes into the hamster wheel also making an annoying terrible noise?

I may not be here by choice of car, but I am here for the awesome people and great team we have on this forum so credit to you guys!

Would also like to thank the team and Stu for doing another amazing job this year thankyou!

I also have to thank @Andy_Muxlow for the great shots again

Thankyou sir thankyou! it’s not mine anymore unfortunately 😂 what do I win? that’s really nice as there’s some bloody lovely competition here!

That is some jdm porn right there

Good choice 😂 I used to daily my 350 know the feeling, nice work though!

Nope 😂

So this is why I was wanting a 370 Nismo 😂 looks really nice and tasteful mate, would you swap for an rx? 😂

Also, is your multimeter auto ranging just got to ask the question

Not to scare you or anything this is completely a horror story, we’ve had a 15 plate merc at work with a bad power drain similar to this level, had it in for a while, found out the module for the in tank fuel pump one of the transistors had bit the bullet and was allowing a constant feed for the intake fuel pump for about 10-15mins after car had been turned off and left so it was running the pump until it burned the pump out. only reason I mention this is you’re not going crazy, have you had anything else non Oem electrical done to the car? also when you say non start do you mean it’s slow and sluggish or literally nothing?

There’s also clear tail lights if you’re really wanting them 😂I do love @Olly350z beauty

The last two seems to be contradicting factors in reality, even if it failed very slightly would be worth the info for a potential buyer especially considering It’s not had one for so long 😂

Here’s a photo dump of the final bits I did to her, had a full side decal done both sides aswell as an awesome photoshoot with the legend @Andy_Muxlow to sort of reveal it!

I have only just realised that I didn’t even finish the bloody build thread! 😂 I’ve got further updating my Rx7 build 😂 if anyone sees my beauty please let me know how she’s doing 😂 I do miss it a hell of a lot but then again I’ve not been driving the 7

I know right 😂😂

You can swivel my friend

Sorry this sold ages ago

Check that the pipe with the maf is sealed properly, otherwise you’ll be getting un metered air so the car will idle higher and also be lumpy cause it can’t match the air it’s getting cause it’s not calculating it properly if you don’t want to remove it again, can spray some brake cleaner around it whilst it running and see if it revs up ( try not to spray near the filter or it’ll Rev anyway ) 👍🏼
