stevo_gj Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hey Guys, End of June I am making the drive down to Sydney (from Bris) in my 260z to visit a friend, and I was going to see if you guys were meeting anytime between the 1st and 8th July. I reckon it would be great to catch up with some of the mexican Zs Also I'm out of touch with my mechanic, and was going to look into doing all the basic checks myself such as engine oil and radiator fluid levels and tyre pressure. Anything else you guys would recommend checking before making the trip? Steve Quote
xa1973 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Grease everything, spare fan belts, radiator hoses, check your spare, check your wheel nuts, a good torch, a can of Holts instant flat tyre fixer, a can of Bars radiator leak stop, 5 litres of water, a good jack, a piece of 12" x 12" x 2mm steel plate, wheel brace, small universal tool kit.... Ohh and a carton of Corona in the eski.......... Enjoy your trip Quote
nedloh312 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 4th Of July at Denos diner again? Drive out to the rocks and maybe go to a pub and have a few beers? Quote
. Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Climb under the car and check every nut you can see. Make sure they are all tight. You'd be surprised how many nuts can work loose. Specifically check the nuts on the drive chain. I suspect they haven't been checked since your gearbox conversion. Also when was the last time your brake and clutch fluids were replaced? It might not seem like they need it but brake fluids take on moisture from the atmosphere they also get gluggy and can clog your lines if not replaced regularly. Quote
stevo_gj Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Cheers guys, I'll check all of these things. I'll just have to check with my host in Sydney about the 4th, apparently we are going camping for some of the time I am there. Quote
