  1. Yes mate you will require help to get the box in and out as like you say it is very heavy. Best on a ramp using a gearbox jack but up on axle stands is doable. I can talk you through the procedure nearer the time, but it is very straight forward. Not knowing how the cars been driven makes it hard to diagnose the premature failure but yes, change the master at the same time because this smacks of return valve failure. Cheers, Alex.
  2. Your picture only shows one spacer and 5 studs. Remember that you have got to fit them in pairs and by that I meen on the same axle.
  3. Hi and welcome to the forum. If it is biting as high as you say then I am sure that you could induce clutch slip, Depending on how the car is driven, will determine how long a clutch lasts If you discover that your clutch is indeed on its last legs then I can help. Check out the link below and feel free to pm me with any questions. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27436 Cheers, Alex.
  4. +1 Exactly my sentiments indeed. Requires to be open so that it works but also requires protection.
  5. There is a picture of what you require in this thread from Charles viewtopic.php?f=115&t=29019
  6. N-Dubz was a 5 second momentary lapse. I'm back on Jack Johnson and Coldplay. On a topical note; I've just bought some 12mm P1.25 nuts from fleabay. I sure hope that you have bought the correct ones brov They have got to be extremely shallow.
  7. 12mm P1.25 Next Question 12mm seems small? I'll take your word for it, brother. 12mm is the size of the stud. The diameter of the oem lug nut is 21mm but that is irrelevant.

  9. You obviously do not have any understanding of this subject and I would advise you to leave your bonnet closed and go back to the dealers.
  10. New to me Grant but as Stew has to do all the housework at home then I guess that he does know a thing or two about hoovers. Linky working fine.
  11. I would advise you against authorizing Nissan to remove the gearbox as you are basically giving them an open cheque book. The £200.00 quoted will only be for pulling the box and a possibly a partial gearbox strip. If they do not find a failure that is covered by the warranty you will have 3 options. (1) Fight them on it (2) Tell them to rebuild it and put the car back to its original condition. (3) Pay them to fix it. If you chose option (2) then the rebuild and refitting the gearbox will be chargable over and above the originall £200.00 so be carefull as the additional charge will not just be another £200.00. Fact: Your car is under manufacturer's warranty. Being more assertive with either the Dealer or Nissan Customer Services should get you a result. I am very friendly with the warranty clerk in my local Nissan dealership and he tells me that Nissan are really pulling in the reins on paying out on potential warranty claims and are bullying the customers in the same way that they appear to be treating you. I thought there stance a few years ago on warranty claims was out of order but it appears to have got much tougher now bordering on scandelous. A switched on confident and experienced 350 Z technician should be capable of diagnosing your issues with out removing and stripping the transmission. It is hardly rocket science. Also remember that Nissan do not usually carry out the gearbox strips in house. The normal procedure is that they will remove the transmission and send to a transmission specialist for strip and rebuild. I different Nissan dealer in your area may be a bit more understanding and sympathetic. Good luck. Alex.
  12. Not sure what instructions you are referring to but if they are for are a LHD car then the answer to your question is Yes.
  13. At £600.00 they must have replaced the belts and tensioner pulleys and possibly a noisy pump.
  14. If a "stalemate" has been reached then just give Nissan Customer Services a ring and discuss the issues with them.
  15. Hi Vagelis, I have a pair of Nismo ARBs coming off a Zed in a couple of weeks time. I also have a Nismo S Tune Suspension kit coming off the same car. I would prefer to sell the ARBs and Suspension as one unit but would consider selling the ARBs on there own but only as a pair. I can also help you with a new LSD but I do not have a preowned one in at the moment. Drop me a pm if I can help you further. Cheers, Alex. Hi Alex, how much are you after for the Nismo ARB's? Ive jsut got some HKS coilovers and figured if I can get a set of ARB's I might aswell fit them at the same time Bhav You will also be needing a set of these as well then. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=19378 Alex
  16. The front wheel bearing is part of the hub. The hub is bolted to the hub carrier with 4 bolts. The road wheel fits on the hub with 5 lug nuts.
  17. Of course he has What were you running on the rear Mark?
  18. I can help you with this Dr.T I have a selection of preowned suspension arms available but I would require confirmation of which one you require. The bearings in the links below are Genuine Nissan and brand new and are good to go next day. Alex. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28625 viewtopic.php?f=38&t=29441
