Take 2 let's try again :)


Recommended Posts

So back from nearly 3000 mile trip around Europe and the car performed almost faultless....until the suspected slave cylinder failure 

 

Managed to limp home topping up the clutch fluid up all the way from the south of france 

The challenge became surprisingly fun:lol:

 

So next up on the mods list updated clutch and slave system 

But not just yet cars sorn now while I concentrate on a house purchase 

 

Roll on spring 

 

Anyways hes some pictures and a couple of vids

Great pics mate!

We have just got back from a trip to Como. You don’t appreciate how dreadful our roads are until you get through the tunnel.

Planning the next one heading east! 

If it wasnt for these trips I dont think I would keep a fun car to be fair andy! Well not a road car anyway 

 

Love it out there cant wait to go back already 

 

Let me know if you want copies of routes etc always helps when it's been pre run :thumbs:

So since the euro trip the car hasn't moved 

And I'm seriously considering breaking it as i fancy a nismo 

 

Dose anyone know if my kwv3 would be compatible with a nismo as I love the way the car handles with these on and would like to transfer all my mods over to the nismo :teeth:

Not much happend on the car still although i have some plans for new year

The nismo is on  the back burner for a little while but 

My supercharger kit may be up for grabs for the right price  as I'm going to be testing a new kit that might be available to you guys once I'm happy with it :yahoo:

Droped the car in with craig at DynoTorque yesterday hes fitting me a extreme stage 1 clutch and flywheel kit and some braided hoses on the brakes 

Also fitting some fancy heat shielding around the transmission tunnel to keep the heat down in the cabin in summer 

 

I was reluctant to splash the cash so close to Christmas but need the car on the road to demo the new supercharger set up 

Which will be available to you guys once I'm happy it is as good as its supposed to be ...keep your eyes peeled over winter for updates  :yahoo:

Massive thanks to @350Butcher who helped me bleed out my clutch and brakes today 

 

I wasnt happy with the way the clutch felt after fitting and martin has the same clutch and knows his way around the tools extremely we all know 

So we got a bit more feel in the clutch and bled the brakes while we was at it 

 

The clutch felt loads better after bleeding but still felt notchy while going for 5/6

 

So after reading a thred on here about a similar problem i decided to try what it suggested.

  so I dived into the gear stick area and to check to see if the gate was restricting things and I think it was a tad 

 

So I loosened the bolts around the gate and dropped it into 6th and tightened the bottom bolt the put it into 5th and did the same 

 

Its spot on now slips into gear lovely 

 

Massive thanks to @350Butcher and a big thanks to @coldel because I think it was your thred I found :thumbs:

 

Oh and martain got to have a good old blast in the charged z which he seemed to enjoy :lol:

The local Z legend strikes again :thumbs:

 

You'd this after the same issue noted on the Z33 that the Z34 would have ironed that out, tut tut.

He sure did 

 

I think it's possible that it came off during clutch installation 

But I literally moved it 3/4 mm not much but makes all the difference :thumbs:

 

Car needs a @davey_83 spit and polish soon lol

No problem, happy to help!!    

 

Yeah was great to be out in a Z again, especially one with a bit of boost!   I really did enjoy it and I only tickled the surface..........really liked that it goes about its business like a normal 370z just with afterburners when you touch the throttle!!  Appreciated you letting me have such a decent drive of it.

 

Catch up soon mate
