Hi guys I just logged in to ask the very same. I have the thermostat but wanted to see a service guide to doing the change. Any links? Also, what is this about ‘the green coolant?’ am I going to have to use something specific here for a full change>? Thanks

My first time at the square and I saw some rare metal. Great way to start the day! Met Scott, a forum member to and his car is lovely. Nice to get some comments on mine to. ;)

My current favourite is the glass polish. :rofl:

Living in the UK, it's pretty much the look all year round. :unsure:

Can the diff on my Z31 be swapped with something either more modern, or just better? I'm looking at getting mine rebuilt right now but just asking around for options. :thumbs:

I’ve been using three products from Autoglym that seem to work very well. This weekend was the first time I touched the paint work on my Z. 6 hours later, she’s looking pretty again. If you are starting from scratch, the paint restorer…much better than any T-cut product. I use the shampoo...

I you want to bring life back into hard plastics and rubbers then use Linseed oil. Not only cheap and a natural product but once on, it gives the material a waterproof coat. It last longer than most ‘back to black’ products but has the added benefit of keeping it supple. Someone did a quick test...

Just wondering where Z owners would recommend getting a set of floor mats for a Z31.

Haha, mines an '84 Turbo Z31m, so i'll be blasting Phil Collins and Duran Duran. :D The speakers on mine are in the doors and easily accessible in the boot. The head unit is no good really, some kenwood thing that doesn't appear to be that powerful. My decent Sony one went with my Z32! :eek...

Looking to replace the poor quality speakers for something else that would not look out of place. Just speakers that fit easily into the original cut outs. Cheers

No problem Jon, appreciate the input. I should know more by end of play today, I'm going to see a guy who rebuilds old Ford diffs, he should shed some light into what I need to replace. Thanks for clearing that up Mr.F…mine is certainly a UK turbo manual, so this helps if I need to replace...

Sorry for the daft question but how do I find out which diff is on my car?

Appreciate it Jon, thanks. I’ll take a look when I can get something ordered. Let’s hope it’s not destroyed! :eek:

Thanks for the feedback. Now where would I go to find any replacement diff parts for my Z? It’s an ’84, manual, turbo.

Hmm, that certainly looks like the kind of movement in my prop shaft. Albeit I haven’t taken off the diff cover, it appears from a quick inspection this could be it. Would this be a possible replacement pin or is this a new diff?!

I owned a Z32 last year and when purchased, the offside rear alloy was buckled slightly. The centre prop bearing was ruined and the prop caused a slight wobble. All in all this caused some nasty vibrations. Eventually I solved 95% of the issues and then went on to sell it. I know that the Z cars...

As with any of my cars, I like to document the history…this has so much paper work I haven’t made a start on putting it into a document yet. She is a solid car all round, I do need to address a number of things to get it running how I’d like. Expect a few posts in the technical section...

I appear to have an old members car. My car is a 1984 Z31, in blue. It has the sticker in the centre of the windscreen. I'm hoping when people see this one they don't bring some bad news like it was a dog or something. It has obviously had a respray as the body matches the trim (which was black...
