Right so bled the fluid out today wasn't bad at all used bike brake bleeding kit. The muck that came out was a sorry sight. At least top of the line fluid inthere now. Gearing feels better but think I will do the adjustment of the pedal to to get a bit more feel. Will update later after a proper test drive with her warmed up.

sounds cacky. can we hear it over 2,000rpm please? J/K Sounds loud... what does it sound like at full boost?

went out and sucked all the old fluid out of the reservoir and gave it a clean, smudge at the bottom of it new Motul 660 in there now. (might do some bleeding and see if it is clear or not coming out now). I had a look at the pedal height and its off from what the JWT manual said (found on the www) with a few cm (its 14cm and within spec is 17.1-19cm) Where is the operating cylinder located under neath the car? Guessing I need to get there to really get fresh fluid into the whole system? I read the JWT manual and the owners manual (service) and can't put my finger to what it looks like, took a few photos while looking around and my assemble doesn't sound like it's the same as described in the manuals or I'm just not getting it. Not sure why I need to play with the switch (ASCD) and not just do the locknut A and turn the pivot to get the 'correct' height. This web link makes perfect sense to me but the manual's I read doens't http://forums.nicoclub.com/clutch-adjus ... 57828.html (I'm not sure what he means with the pumping of pedal to "flush" the system, mine didn't even move any fluid when I pumped it (was filming it while I did it to see) The link you posted looks mad I have a mad squeel from the clutch too so guessing the whole assembly need some greasing... So I'm living in hope that my problem is that I don't have enough play to fully engage the clutch mechanism, it makes a bit of sense since it's different behavior cold or hot and it's not happening all the time. (it also makes sense to my wallet )

Good q wouldn't know might look at that too... just follow the manual for that or any tips?

I'm hoping its just the clutch not engaging properly due to manly fluid. Slim chance of that. No problems with 2nd and third was first time yesterday and it went after next stop ..

hmm good find...

CD009? Mmm can't believe the gearbox is gone after such low mileage with the TT, wonder if it was a @*!# assemble job... will swap the fluid out and hope that helps.

So do we think new gearbox?

Oh yeah that too! Lol Its a southbend clutch looks like an uprated exedy clutch to me. Would have thought syncro would be more likely quick shifting. Let's say I sit at the lights push down clutch release and down again then 100% of the time 1st doesn't hard engage when I say that I mean if I don't about half the times I can feel the LSD thudding if that makes sense. Nothing of this is loud btw just my X-ray hearing

Hmmm think its better cold then hot. Will be out shortly to bleed

Hello! Haven't used my car much since I got her back mostly sitting on the drive collecting dust and on rare occasions get out for a spin or trackouting. Today I drove it and had issues with 1st gear and 3rd gear engaging properly. The first gear you can almost hear the thud from the LSD when you stick her in from neutral... 3rd gear starting crunching after I'd been motorway driving for a while and came of the motorway. It then went after a few stops... (was to scared to try and stick it in there so went from 2nd to 4th) I can't put my finger to what it might be, have no problems shifting when I shift the car (moving quicker...) this is when normal driving in town speed etc. I'm wondering if it's the clutch fluid needing replacing? It's like the clutch actually isn't engaging the clutch. Clutch is aftermarket and hasn't been abused and is rated for 600torq, and I only have 500 so shouldn't be worn! (done less then 1,000km). Gearbox fluid is Nissan OEM with molyslip. I got some motul 660 and planning on bleeding out the old fluid tomorrow to see if that makes any difference, any ideas what it might be lads? Had planned on a trackouting come Monday but if this isn't sorted it's not going anywhere...

Maybe steal and matt black is the way to go???

Japanese gone American! Any vids of that going?

How @*!#...

will have a look in the service manual, what miles on the engine?

think the lower value is 140psi or so, haven't checked the manual. You're slighty under the norm, think that's 180-190. How old where the plugs dude? glad it's running smoother all the same.

traction control is fine, just not sure about the front and the width...

Might have an offer on a nice 4 corner set of 888s. They are 265/35/18x4, would that work on 8" width front Rays and 8.5" rear?

maybe hold off getting ANY more stuff for the Z until the compression test is done yeah?

very nice as i said before but outta my price range get a 1015PX on Amazon for 240£ add tenner for memory and you are all set.
