Depends who the manufacturer is, I have a choice of 4 lengths here The ones that I sent you are the longest and Nissan OEM.

Give him a big prod for me. Still waiting on my bonnet lifters Already been told off by Andrew on your behalf, packed them this evening, off first thing on monday. Been one of those weeks when everything has taken ten times longer than it should. I know that your mind has been on other things this week, God knows what you are going to be like next week. worse, its been delayed a week because of the SVA Oh Dear!!!! a week is a long time when you are waiting on Santa

OEM........................205 gms Chrome...................110 gms TI............................265 gms

Sorry but unfortunately you wont.

Not Much pm sent.

That is what I am offering you

If you can put a pic up of the ones you want to match we may have some in the workshop. Failing what Phil has to offer, I have a spare set of standard chrome nuts with 4 locking nuts and socket or just 20 nuts without the locking set, or 10 standard nuts to complete your set. Are you still with me

Why Not:yahoo: 1. Stew+1 2. Martinmac+1 3. Stan+1 4. xstric9x+1 5. Ebized +1 6. Beavis +1 7. Tilly +1 8. AK350Z(Scratchy) +1 9. Adam (Arphotographs) (the man with the cam) +1 10. Zmanalex +1

No point in beating yourself up over this. Take it back to the Dealers and tell them in no uncertain terms to get it sorted.

BUMP Another 6 sets arrived today, 2 off these are pre-orders, so 4 sets available for immediate despatch. Totally plug and play.......No Mod Required to loom or block connector. Genuine Nissan U.K. LED's. Still only £240.00 delivered. Cheers, Alex.

Probably just a noisy clutch, nothing to worry about.

They weigh 10 kg...........

The Zed engine is only good for 400 U.K bhp at the fly. But remember that it is the torque that will do the most potential damage.

Inside the OEM shift knob you will find the rubber seal that I refer to. If you dig that out you will find iether a small metal bush or two metal spring washers Hope this helps.

It is not blowing before the radiator cap. The radiator cap is opening and the coolant and pressure is being released to the canister.

Didn't think to check the heater, It was about 70 degrees F here yesterday. The spurts /leaks came from a machined hole in the top of the chrome coolant cylinder which can be seen in the photos. I put the car in for a compression check at 8a.m. so i can't answer more I'm afraid. Turbo installer said to fill via rad with chrome tank open. which implies only 1 pipe connecting the 2? - at the bottom - and yes I understand the airlock issue. No leaks around Rad cap, just from the top of the replacement coolant filler, whcih is in exactly the same place as the original, but smaller, so as to allow space for the Air intake pipes to put one of the Air filters in the nose at the front. Martin, Okay, on your description of your set up, this is how it is meant to work. The "canister" appears to only be a reservior which is not meant to hold pressure. I do not think that you have a relief valve fitted in your canister but I may be wrong. The only part of the sysem that is pressurised is the radiator, waterways in the engine, the hoses and the heater matrix. The cooling stystem will build up pressure as it heats up and the thermostat will open to allow the coolant to circulate and cool your engine. If there is excess pressure the radiator pressure cap will open to allow that pressure out and at the same time coolant will be removed from your radiator to the canister. If the canister gets to full then it will come out the hole on the top of your canister and be lost for good. I did not mean in my previous post that the radiator cap may be leaking, I meant that it may be faulty in that it is releasing to soon. You require a cap with at least 108kPa (1.1kg/cm2). Don't know why you have asked the garage to carry out a compression check as that will not identify your problem. If you are thinking along the lines of an internal coolant leak and you wish to check that out then what you will require is a coolant pressure test or going a bit further a Cylinder Pressure Test and to do that you or the garage will require one of these. This is a time consuming and technical job and I doubt if a Nissan garage would have the tools or the expertise to carry this test out accurately. The test has to be done to each individual cylinder with the valves closed. If you have entrusted the garage with your car, why don't you just tell them the problem that you are having with the car and ask them for a quotation to rectify the loss of coolant issue. Okay.........Back to DIY basics.... First step is to confirm if the car is loosing water and then overheating or overheating and then loosing water. If there are no leaking hoses etc then this could be something as simple as an air lock, faulty radiator cap, faulty thermostat, choked radiator or matrix. worst case may be head gasket or crack.

There was some tasty stuff out on Saturday. Usual 2 seater stuff, Good mix of Elise and Caterham 911 GTR RS X 2 911 GTR X 2 911 GT2 TURBO FERRARI 360? Evos. Over 60 cars were signed in and open Pit Lane. Adam told me that there was a black 350Z there but I never saw it the whole day which is a shame as I would have been over to say hi, so if you are reading this ZeddZ, Hello and hope that you enjoyed your Yeah Colin the side ways leaps as you call them is mostly at Duffus which is at the end of the main straight which you approach at 130mph. The Zed on stock suspension just floats over this but the KW Clubsport requires a softer rebound setting or you are tucked for the next two corners.

Okay, let's take a step back. Is your heater working as normal ? Where was all this coolant gushing from. (Please be exact) Water pumps have been known to fail (broken impellor) but highly unlikely in your case. Thermostat failures are rare, but this may be your problem. Radiator pressure cap failures are fairly common ( this can be checked with a pressure tester) I need to know a bit more about your plumbing Where do ALL the pipes/hoses to the "canister" come from? (please be exact) Where does the small black "overflow" pipe go to that comes from the top of the radiator? You will also now have air locks which is yet now another issue. I can only help you with an informed diagnoses if your replies are accurate. Alex.

There is a round rubber seal at the base of the shift knob that you are meant to replace everytime that you have the shift knob off.

Yeah, Colin, probably because it is the shortest exit but it does flame out of both consistently. Check this vid out from Saturday, I think I come into view about 2 minutes into the vid. and then I am gone. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fRulYqk-9JA
