    Half shaft bolts

    Has anyone got any tips on getting the bolts out of the half shafts at the wheel end. I'm scared of rounding the nuts off with an open ended spanner and cannot get a ring spanner on them. TIA

    Leak testing

    I've got my dash out at the moment, replacing it. While its out I'd like to test the heater in the car to try to find a leak in the system. Can I and is it safe to run the engine up to pressure without the dash in the car. I would have thought its OK but but being an idiot it's best to check...

    Attached to this pedalbox, is that the clutch pedal? I think so but can't go upside down in the cat at the moment to check.

    Power loss any ideas please?

    My 280Z has an intermittent power loss problem which I can't get to the bottom of. Every now and then it loses all power and I mean all - no power to the dash, no pump, no nuffink. The car just stops working at all so it must be electrical I think. It has fusible links which I've cleaned up and...

    Which is cheaper

    It can't be a good idea to go to Car Meets and talk to other Z owners.............. Especially when the car starts to misbehave on the way back. Talking about EFI today with JonBills who suggested moving to a modern set up so pricing it up as a project. Looked at Torqen and ZCarDepot in much...

    Size matters

    Can anyone tell me what size bolts fix this plate to the bellhousing please. I've offered up everything I have that close but nothing fits. I think I can nut and bolt it but don't think that is the proper way to do it. TIA

    Temp Sensor

    I just fitted a new temp sensor to a 280Z and it does not screw all the way in until the seal hits the housing. The seal sits about 2 turns short of the housing but does not seem to leak, have not run it right up to temp yet. It is the newer one piece sensor - if anyone wants a new sensor that...
