I can also confirm what Alex says here, without splitting the Cali per you run the risk of rounding the torx as you can’t get the correct angle on it, the other issue being it’s probably been in there since manufacture, save yourself the trouble get them repainted by a professional as they will remove the shims and redo all the seals anyway, it’s the best way to stop the oxidisation from setting in again

Get ahead of the curve mate that’s what I did

Tbh I just remove them and be very careful once you unplug them they’ll reset to stored values etc if not I use the diag but I guess that’s cheating

Welcome mate! looks like you’ve got an interesting one there she’s a keeper!

Well then that’s good to hear, probably a case of the oil from the intake building up

You might be okay as we’ve had some cars pass with a minor misfire, If it’s not plugs/ coils, and you’re partially sure with the maf, did you check any of the tubes for oil? And it still could be the maf/IAT, aswell could be an intake leak behind the maf, could be an injector so might be worth putting a fuel/ injector cleaner through or you could be looking at valves being worn some of the old Vauxhall’s suffer from sticky valves because they’re Shyte, a bottle of redex did solve this. ( let it be said I’m not a massive fan of all these bottles of crap that you’ll find in Halfords obviously some of them very loosely “work” but if you’re desperate can be worth a try) I prefer to try and solve stuff methodically but it’s hard without being there haha. worst case scenario timing issue maybe? but if it was timing issue I’d imagine there would be a fault in the ECM for intake or exhaust timing so shouldn’t be that. You got sports cats on it or oems?

Jesus, it’s not a bad job at all, I was originally a bit worried to start with but honestly took me a couple of hours to sort the whole thing for @Monkey1983 , you should try telling them it’s literally about 4 nuts and 2 bolts to remove it and you only need to re fit the new kidney braces and w brace and you’re golden

Yeah sounds fairly normal, just trying to warm up quicker, if you said the revs stick it out and don’t drop then I’d say to be worried or could be the throttle body is sticking, how high are the revs? mine usually stays around 13 then drop to normal

Most likely because regulations allow different beam pattern in Japan, however they do drive in the left side, just replace them for uk ones if you can whisky they’re off polish them if they’re not crystal clear, as long as both bulbs are emitting same intensity of light can’t Imagine there’s a problem unless they’re literally like side light bulbs

After seeing your beauty headphones, I decided to give he tw hydro sealant a go and it’s fair to say I’m impressed and hopefully it lasts a long while! Unfortunately my cameras not great

What was your v8 mate? And welcome back to the good side!

Hi Paul, there is a subforum already on here for suspension, it’s under modifications for either 350 or 370 so start from there mate

Yes mate was very surprised tbh

Not advertising just showing people which exact one I bought so they don’t get any different

Bought these upgraded dynamic side indicator light off eBay I know I’ll probably have to buy another set at another point but for the money I’m happy! If anyone’s on the fence just do it aha it’s £13 easy to do and at the end of the day you can just fit back the OEM ones if all goes to pot. Please excuse the state of my Z I need to give it a full wash and detail

Hello and welcome, never buy from an auction mate never

Can’t really hear too much through the video sorry, have you driven it much after the clutch has been replaced? We’ve been told horror stories of garages replacing dual mass with single mass and charging for a single, I can always smell petrol when I start mine does the vibration ever change in frequency or pitch?

Sometimes misfires don’t cause an eml trust me aha yeah whip the plugs out and have a look, my De had an oil leak from the cam cover on the passenger side at the front causing oil to sit in the tube with the plug either way can’t be good for it, at the same time dual mass flywheels cause a hell of a lot of vibration when they’re on their way out, does the vibration keep going a short while after ignition is off?

Can always do a video upload to YouTube then post here, is it constantly vibrating? Have you got a De engine? Has the cam cover leaked oil into the cylinder tube? Can you remember what plugs you put in them? iridium/ platinum have a life of 30-40k usually so might not be that, check the intake pipe behind the maf for any leaks. If you are certain it’s a coil/plug whilst the engines running pull off the plugs one by one and see if the engine tone changes if it stalls or gets worse obviously that cylinder is fine, if nothing changes then you’re right probably pack or plug. Hope this helps

I completely second this customers and their self diagnosing always a pain, main dealers all the kit and don’t know @*!#

Okay yes completely noted aha I was only thinking of doing as a rear dark subtle colour on my azure so you’d barely see it but it might add a bit of depth into it,

Obviously I’m not a complete tool it will only be brands I actually have fitted to the Z, this is the product I was looking at

Good evening team, quick reach out, does anyone have a similar sticker stacking to this or if not what do people think? this is top fuels time attack s2000 been following this car for a while think it’s beyond beautiful, I like the neatness of the brands down the rear of the front arch and was going to try and achieve a similar style but try and make it a fair bit more subtle. Im aware that the angles and distance to the door and inside of the arch is a lot smaller on the Z
