My fuel gauge didn't work at all, so I removed the cylinder-type tank sender unit and cleaned it with WD40. Re-installed it and it has been working okay for the past year :)

As do I, I had just put it down to general wear and tear of the drivetrain components....

Yes, Mot'd, taxed and on the road, it's the end of a project car that I bought a couple of years ago. It had been lying neglected in someone's garage for about six or eight years, I bought it, sorted various bits and pieces and put it through an Mot (which it passed second time around). Took...

Here you go, my Z31 Turbo Manual......of questionable age and identity :D [/URL][/IMG]

Thanks mrM, I'd thought that it would probably be the lesser of two evils to take the complete arms off.....oh well - wish me luck :unsure:

My Z31 failed it's MOT today (the first MOT done since 2004), surprisingly to me, it only failed on both sides rear wheel bearings worn/noisy and having an overall service brake efficiency of 46%. The brakes should be easy enough to sort but the rear wheel bearings appear to be a bit of a...

No, not a medical condition but rather the fact that the front wheel nuts on my '87? Z31 turbo are 13/16" and the rears are 7/8". The nuts are of the sleeve type with a thick removable washer (as per photo). What size should they be? Thanks - Andy

Air horns that played La Cucaracha, had them on my Hillman Avenger in the late 70s. :coolgleam:

Thanks for that information Mike, I'll have a good look and see if I can find the leak - probably a pipe somewhere that I've dislodged.

Very, very nice. I wish that my one looked as good as that..........I'm jealous now :blush:

Hey all, Under the driver's front wing of my '87 Z31 Turbo is a pump/motor of some description, all of sudden this has started chuntering away noisily. What the blazes is it for? Hope someone can enlighten me - please :confused: Thanks - Andy

Hi there, I'm after a set (if possible) of handbrake cables for my '86/87 Z31 turbo. My existing cables are well stretched and even with refurbished calipers and new rear brake pads - the handbrake will not hold on a hill. I know that I can buy new Blueprint cable but they're a bit...

Hi, I'm on the lookout for a pair of targa/door aperture seals in good condition. Mines are rotted and are letting in a considerable amount of water. Thanks - Andy

Yes, I know that they usually leak and distribute water throughout the car ( I've just finished removing all the seats and carpets today), but what options are available to me, in order to have a reasonably waterproof car in the near future? I'm sure that the new, genuine or even aftermarket...

Vectra! It's a Z32 TT Auto, honestly - some people.....lol

Many thanks guys, for the help and advice that you've imparted on my current situation :bow: Yes, I could have said nothing and run the car as an '84 normally aspirated 300ZX, but as I have learned from you that it is in fact an '87 manual turbo model - I would like to try to put it on the...

Track day car - lol - I'd probably kill myself in it. I would like to make it street legal, depends on what DVLA say, it is an unidentifiable car ( other than it's a Z31 turbo from approx 1987 -1989. That's why I was looking along the lines of it getting a Q plate.

Ok, I'm just back from seeing the local police, told them the story and they are not interested because of the age of the "ringing" offence. They will do a PNC check (once their system is working again) and will let me know if anything flags up. Basically they said "talk to DVLA", maybe a Q...

Strangely though, it's been running around like this for seventeen years at the very least ! I'm going to see the polis tomorrow, wonder if it's possible to keep it and re-register it on a Q plate?

They were quite thorough...
