Track your milage. Could be you are suffering from the fuel gauge being up 1/4 of the tank out as you drive. I thought my MPG was dropping drastically until I clocked what was going on when I could only get 60 litres into the tank when refilling from empty

Just saw you on my way to the shops. I think I managed to get out a flash and a wave whilst hitting everything in the card in my excitement

Same happened to me when I had my clutch done. The garage fixed in in about 30 seconds when I took it back, they didn't even take the knob off. They just lifted the gaitor, loosened the nuts slightly and then got me to check it was in the position I was used to before they tightened it up again. The guy that did it didn't pull all the way to the right when he put it in 5th/6th like I do so he didn't notice the alignment had changed very slightly.

Going to swap mine next weekend if it's sunny and I have all the parts, will let you know

Cheers, they are great condition. All ready to be fitted next weekend if it's sunny

Say you on the way back from picking up new seats, looking very nice

Mine's an import and still has the 112 MPH limit. Quite disconcerting on a track day when you have your foot down in 4th gear and suddenly hit the limit I would suspect most imports will have the 112 MPH limit, that's still far more than you can legally do on the roads anyway. I have the cheaper road tax and the insurance isn't really any more expensive. Watch the insurance companies though I had direct line tell me they didn't insure imports after being with them for 2 years and claiming that I never told them it was an import (I always insure it as a Fairlady Z and am quite clear it is an import when I talk to insurance companies). Thank got nothing happened in those 2 years.

Which bits did you have replaced? I've got a knock coming from the front left when put it on full lock at low speeds and I can't work out what the hell it is. Had a few garages look at it and they all say everything is tight and not loose so there's nothing to worry about.

Have to add my name to this list, Put a new set of discs and pads on last weekend which has made my brakes feel better than they ever have before. Discs weren't in stock when I ordered them but great communication and they got here nice and quick when they came in stock. Couldn't have asked for anything more, great job guys.

Reminded today that I never actually posted to confirm what it was. It was a clutch thrust bearing (or a clutch release bearing). The part itself wasn't too bad, unfortunatly the clutch has to come off to get at it. My clutch was fine, I was told to try and not ride the clutch so much with my daily driving to stop it from happening again. Had mine done at Advanced Motorsport and Engineering in Silverstone and they did a top job.

PIAA wipers all the way for me, best set of blades I'e ever owned.

Already got a competition clutch and a lightened flywheel that was put in about a year ago now and i'm running standard power so I'm hoping not clutch... Ah well time to call AME again...

Just started the Z up at the station on the way home and it made the most god awful screeching metal on metal sound. Was fine to drive whilst in gear but every time I put the clutch down there is a nasty screeching metal on metal sound and my oil pressure drops. Does anybody have any ideas? If I boot it a bit in gear the clutch is not slipping at all and it seems fine apart from when the clutch is depressed. Slightly worried atm...

The best I've seen is the Buddy Club (there are some pics knocking around on the forum somewhere). Not the cheapest in the world but looks like a stunning bit of kit.
