Thanks for the info peeps, Jak that has to be the most detailed hinge fix ive ever seen its amazing! You have obviously put a lot of effort into that and i really appreciate it, im printing it off as I type this and will be having a play with them later today! I let you know how I get on...

A few more pictures!

Hi All, Some of you may remember one of my threads regarding my wonky tailgate. A couple suggestions were made about the possibility of my hinges being bent. Well its taken me a while to get round to it but ive finnaly taken it off to have a look. Now im finding it hard to see if the hinges are...

Hi All, Some of you may have noticed my "wanted" ad in the classifieds for the little plastic clip on bits that cover where the seat belt mounts to the top of the rear suspension strut. Well i think Ive found a chap with some but we are getting a little confused. I need a picture of the part in...

...... To My 260z, Just realised it was first registered 22/01/1979 ..... 30 Years Old Today !!

Hi Chaps - Thanks for the info. Moggy I understand now - that will be my first job to see if that is loose. Next im going to try what Rob is saying because I havent had the pin out and i bet it is rusted in! So if I can work on it by just lowing it down that would make it a lot easier. As...

Moggy - Im not too sure what you mean - what do I need to tap round?

Yep tried tightening the nut (retaining nut in the middle) but its very very tight. But not very far down the thread. Could be the thread is shot and it isnt tight enough. I think ill have to take the strut out. From what i can tell in my manual it doesent look to be too bad of a job (famous...

Hi all, Theres a job ive been meaning to do but ive been putting it off. The passangers side rear suspension strut is knocking / rattling around at the top on my 260z. You can hear it when going down bumpy roads and over speed bumps etc. The noise is deffinately coming from inside the turret...

No Struts are fitted to it at the minute. Not sure how many it originally had. The slam panel was replaced not so long ago. I found this original picture in my archive when I first got the car and it looks as though its sitting high there as well to me.....

Cheers guys - Ive been trying to brake open the Servo this morning - turns out its pritty well rusted together - im in the process of getting a replacement - will prob replace the master cylinder at the same time just to be sure!!! Thanks for the help peeps - really appreciated as always Ryan

Hi Nigel - I think I know what your on about - I read about that in my service manual - something called a reaction disc? Would it be as simple as taking the servo apart and just popping the disc back on perhaps...... Cheers Ryan

Hello Moggy and Tel! Yes it does have bleed nipples on the side and I have bled them as well - im 99.9% sure there is no air in the system...

Yes Nigel - That and the Servo out when I was giving it all a bit of a clean up - everything was working fine before hand as well. Ryan

Ok - When I connect the vacuum from the manifold to the brake servo, the pedal travels almost straight to the floor under the slightest of foot pressure. With the Vacuum to the servo disconected or with the engine off - the pedal goes firm again. The brakes work with the servo "disconnected"...
