If the clutch travel distance is annoying you, adjust the clutch pedal, I recently did this and made my Z a lot nicer to drive. A friend of mine also replaced his side indicators with juke or quasquai smoked ones that light up similar to the back of new vw's and audis, - - - -, he picked these up cheap On ebay but look great. Inexpensive mods

Hey Napp, sent you a PM about the spacers Cheers Mike

advice also noted

Aye just heard the sad news. Great innings considering the era in which he raced

Thread Revival.... Just did this and wow, what a difference its made. Hardest part was getting down there but OPs method worked best. Out of interest, were there any lo G term effects found by doing tgis as per that last post in this threat about pedal travel etc I have a new clutch and flywheel ready to be fitted when this is all over so I'm not concerned about my current clutch but would be interested to know if anyone had any issues after doing this?

Cheers for the tips, greatly appreciated! Yeah due to no pressure washer I didn't want to spend a lot on a pre wash until I could pick one up. The Magifoam was only a fiver and I only bought 500ml so no great loss there.

Ohhh that finish is perfect Had a limited budget so found some deals online: Dodojuice Microfiber Cloths x 6 Dodojuice drying towel Dodojuice applicators 2 buckets with grit guards Lambs wool mitts x 2 Autobrite Magifoam No pressure washer so got a 2ltr pressure sprayer Chemical guys Citrus wash Bilt Hamber auto clay (soft) Dodojuice born slippy Meguires Deep Crystal all 3 steps Gtechniq C6 Microfiber Glass towels Simmonz glass cleaner Budget hosepipe Already had new air fresheners, demon juice fallout remover, a few glass cleaners etc I skimped on some stuff due to budget constraints. I've never detailed a car before so it's all a learning curve. I've been scouring the forums for everyone's comments on what they use, how they do it etc but it's a lot of info to take in! Hence the meguires 3step for starters!! Just need an overcast day now! I'll get some before and afters up. Paid for a detail last year which left mine looking decent but no where near your finish.

Car looks awesome. I've been inspired so Just shelled out on a bunch of detailing products

If you do decide to list them I'd be very interested

What size are the spacers? I may be interested. I assume no difference between vert and coupe?

Recently finished purchasing everything i need to do a full service, found the diff oil and coolant cheapest on ebay (genuine) along with the Belts. Gearbox x 3 was cheapest on Torqen. Everything else was Opie

at least it's not turbo charged though eh

If you know of a specialist, i would offer them a few quid to come and look at the car with you (if that's an option) before you buy. May be a daft question but have you checked the service history and MOT History? Everything been done when it should have etc

Cardboard under the car?

Thanks for the advice, will start a log after the oil change. Much appreciated

Opie came up with the standard 10w-30 but had read a few threads where the thicker oil (although only until warm) seemed to reduce oil consumption by some what. I try to check the oil regularly but car is not regularly parked on flat surfaces (surprisingly) so it's not always easy for me to get correct readings. I don't think its overly excessive oil use but not really had the time to investigate the issue. What would be the recommended route? >Monitor current top up over amount of miles covered? >Compression test? I'm assuming any garage worth their salt can typically perform these? I do notice that during a rev heavy sprint (i have a long, straight and relatively quiet bypass close by) i do get a burning smell sometimes in the cabin, it doesn't last long, there's no smoke so i've always put it down to a small bit of oil burning off.

Hi, hoping for some quick advice as i need to buy some oil tonight. Rev-up that's munching oil. Want to top it up until end of March when i'm getting a P3 done. Looking to buy a cheap stand in for the next 2-3 weeks until it gets a fresh 5ltrs of Motul. Halfords is close and i saw a comment in the big fluids list that suggested a semi synth 10w-40. Oil is low so would you recommend either of the below as a stand in for a few weeks? https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/engine-oil/petronas-syntium-800-eu-10w-40-oil-5l-256468.html https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/engine-oil/castrol-gtx-ultraclean-10w40-oil-4l-562857.html Would appreciate some sage advice here Thanks Mike

Car looks great! I need to do a full/P3. I'm slowly collecting all the various fluids. I've got the Engine Oil, Brake Fluid, Spark Plugs, Filter, crush washer and magnetic sump Interested to know if you had any good deals on the below fluids. (My opie oil basket is pretty expensive currently with multiple bottles of redline stuff in there to make full quantity) Coolant Belts Diff Fluid Gearbox Oil Steering Fluid

ah ok, no worries, thought you were looking to import. My bad. Below are purely assumptions based on the advert In the picture i cant see any flashes of orange so i'm assuming no brembos , it also doesn't have cruise control from what i can see, can't see any steering wheel buttons. (advert says it does) Does have heated leather seats though - at least the buttons are there, Decent looking car though. Car would probably hold value +/- £500 or so if in good nick for the next year or two, plus you can probably get the dealer down another 500 .

May I ask how much you are paying for the car, import costs and all? Is there any specific reason you are going for an import and an auto gear box?

loved Grid. The online touring car races were amazing and so much fun if you got a good lobby. Then a random would join and block the start finish after the first lap. Carnage

As the title, before i go buying new, just wanted to put my interest out there if anyone has some for sale. Cheers Mike

to point out on your post you are after a 40K miler - this requirement will push you up to and over £8K plus, mainly because there aren't that many around anymore, however i would keep yourself open to higher miles, even 70-80K and above but pay attention to the service history, a well cherished (previous enthusiast owned) Z with a packed service history is equally as valuable as a low mileage Z and key to happy and relatively problem free Z ownership in my humble opinion.

I would also hold fire and keep an eye on the market. As we hurtle towards spring you're likely to see more listed
