Nice on Andy. :thumbs:

Thanks, I couldn't agree more. I take it, i could just do this by using Paint?

Very nice looking unit.

Off to France in June. Planning my fuel stops @ about 350 miles per tank.

A great build thread.

Give over guys I'm filling up lol.

Firstly loosen the wheel nuts, Jack up the front of the car, I used the front central jacking point. Remove the wheels. Pull the caliper outwards so that you can access the retaining pins. Pull out the two spring clips which hold the pins in place. With the spring clips removed use a 4mm punch to tap out the retaining pins. Pull out the pins completely from the caliper using a pair of pliers and remove the Pad retaining spring. This is what it looks like before the pads are removed. With a pair of pliers and a rag to protect the caliper compress the cylinders back into the calipers which releases the pressure on the pads. Pull out the pads. They may be a little tight. With the pad removed unscrew the two 22mm bolts which hold the caliper to the suspension arm (these will be tight) I used a 600mm long breaker bar to do this. Now remove the two 12mm bolts which hold the brake pipe bracket and slide the whole unit (caliper and all) up into the wheel arch and secure it to the suspension arm. With the caliper out of the way you can now remove the disc itself. The disc should come free without any force. If it is a little tight you can either tap the disc with a hammer between the wheel studs or you can unscrew the jacking bolt, remove the sleeve and re-screw it back in till it come up against the hub forcing it away from hub itself. Now put on your new discs and replace everything in the reverse order.

Happy Birthday

What year is your Z?

EVO, best write up's and a good cross section of vehicles. Got 12 months subscription as a Christmas present. A+++++

Without hearing the rattle first hand its hard to pin point the cause. I doubt that putting the wrong oil in would cause a rattle without anything else being evident. It could be a rattle from a dry thrust bearing or even just a loose heat shield from one of the Cats.

Did it run OK before the plug change and Maf cleaning? Make sure the coil packs are correctly connected to the plugs and all the electric coil pack connector are securely placed onto their right places. Try removeing each coil pack connectors in turn to see if there is any change in the running of the engine.

It happens with the latest version of IE. Also get a lot of missing letters and spaces when typing Ty right clicking on the "quote" button and then open, that works for me. Right click is my friend now,Thanks. Now to sort out the tying issues like you say missing letters when typing.

Ebized - that is what used to happen. But nothing now it very frustrating

BM - If on a browser, press Ctrl+F5 to refresh with clearing the cache. Double check your browser is up to date. The Quote button should work as usual tbh I use internet explorer, how do you check if the browser is up to date? Sorry bit o a computer dummy.

Ekona - What happens when you click either the Quote or Multiquote buttons? Can you do it manually via [ quote ] tags? Nothing it just give me the reply to this topic Box.

Just the standard set up. I don't do the mileage or track days so decided to go the standard route. It wasn't a moment too soon bearing in mind that I have done the change as a preventative measure due my French road trip in June. No slipping, no loss of power a little high clutch position but the clutch plate was down to rivets. Surely wouldn't have made the 2k trip without failing. My advice to anyone who high clutch position get it checked because It would appear to be a working to failure without much notice.

New clutch & Fly wheel fitted yesterday and not a moment too soon (pic's follow). Again a big tanks to Clark Motors for the parts and bigger thanks to Brian and Corrie at J.B Burkinshaws for the loan of their ramp. http://www.jbburkinshaw.co.uk/site.jbburkinshaw.co.uk/index9ba6.html

since the forum page was updated I cant seem to quote someone else's comments in my replies. please advise how to do this?

Cars fitted with HID lights are exempt from carrying that bulb as it is generally accepted that the everyday person neither has the knowledge or tools to replace them on the road side. All other bulbs are required.

Thanks for the oil Ewen, super fast delivery :thumbs: What no Haribos?

Never used main dealers for servicing, never had book stamped. Done all my own work but documented it each time, kept receipts. I would buy anything that an enthusiast has owned and could show the history.
