Cant help but think that 3 speedo's is somewhat excessive!

The pads shouldnt have worn incorrectly as long as they were installed properly. Personally I dont see any reason why you couldnt retrospectively add copper grease to the back of the pads at all

Ha ha its an old forum trick been done a couple of times, The guest count on this though managed to crash the forum ha ha ha

Adi - I feel like your PA but you've double booked http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18630

Copper grease is usually used for two purposes, one to stop stuff rusting and seizing up and secondly to stop stuff squealing. Depending on what brake setup you have. If its brembos just cover the rear of the pads and then put the antisqueal shim over the top of the copper. If its the JDM just the top and bottom lugs that clip into the spring clips. Also would be worth while putting a bit on the threads of the wheel buts and on the hub, just make sure you dont get any on the braking surface of either the discs or pads.

Think I could well be going down this route, can someone give me some idea of pricings please? Cheers Dan

HA HA HA HA HA HA that is hilarious that vid has been used hundreds of times

Seriously .... too easy

Fuel sender unit, its a cr@p design, The measuring device is a flexy piece of metal that rubs along metal contact points, obviously this wears overtime or can get dirty. Its encorporated with the fuel pump located behind the Sub. Mine wouldnt read above half at one stage. replacement of this instantly cured it! The only bad point is because the fuel tank goes over the prop shaft (cant think of the term now) its n shapped therefore there is another fuel sender on the oposite side under the secret cubby in the passengers glove box. Any more info, drop us a PM.

Good idea to tap the calipers with a rubber mallet (dont go mad) to dislodge any last air bubbles.

Is that done on MS Paint

Not sure if anyone will want/need these. Full set of 350z caliper including front discs and pads with plenty of meat left on them, (DBA 4000 Fronts and Endless Pads) Rears really arent worth selling) and all the hoses. Open to offers Dan

4.5ltrs is without a filter 4.7ltrs usually with a filter but most garages will round it to nearest 0.5 ltrs for their stock takes. If you want the brakes working with the best fluid my recommendation would be something like Motul RBF600 - its a DOT 4 fluid but has the temps and stats of a dot5.1 but its not cheap, including postage you will be looking around the 35-40 quid mark. Common thoughts are you should change your brake fluid every 2 years but over time it will degrade due to water being absorbed. The more you change the fluid the better your brakes will stay but work on the presumption that 5.1 you would want to change about once a year and dot4 once every 2 years as maximum. Also if you are tracking the car I would prefere to be safe in the knowledge is good so would probs change it once after every say 4/5 heavy track sessions but then again that is probs over kill!

dot5.1 absorbs more water so has to be replaced more often but will give a firmer feel and has higher wet and dry boiling temp. 350z holds 0.9ltrs of brake fluid, if your bleeding it yourself I would recommend getting 1.5ltrs to allow for spillages or wastes. Hope this helps Dan

340bhp hmmm

Just don't use Rainx! my pads were destroyed it

Bump ... Anyone?

Looks great Adi but get some Silvertec indicators ..... PLEASE

Sorry to doubt the 'oilman' I was under the impressin it wa 4.5ltr capacity or 4.7ltrs if draining the filter aswell. Interms of oil you can't really go wrong if you order off opie oils, plus discount aswell

Ha ha I like that - geeky but funny

we're all miserable in Guildford!

Good news that he is beginning the long path of recovery. And I cant imagine how difficult it is see a man you have looked up to for years suddenly needing your help and support. Sounds like he is in good care and no doubt your support is valued massively, stick with you Dad, Andrew it will be helping him greatly even if he cant show it. Wish You Phil and the family all the best. Dan

the ones big phil used to sell were made by INXX - Check Ebay, then he made up a bracket to fit the 350z. Looks like the lifters you have are shorter. Looks like its mounted in the same place, my lifters, hold the bonnet higher than the stay would.
