Working on your own car can be a rewarding experience, whether you're carrying out routine maintenance, making small adjustments, or simply getting to know the vehicle better. Having the right tools available can make these jobs much easier and can also help avoid unnecessary trips to a garage for simple tasks. A good starting point is a reliable socket and spanner set. Different jobs around a car can require different sizes, so having a comprehensive selection is useful. A ratchet with a range of sockets can make removing and tightening fasteners considerably quicker, particularly when working in areas where access is limited. A torque wrench is another useful addition for anyone who regularly works on their vehicle. Some components need to be tightened to a specific torque rather than simply being tightened as much as possible. Using the correct torque can help prevent damaged threads, loose fasteners, and other avoidable problems.

These relatively simple tools can be useful for everything from interior work to basic electrical jobs and general adjustments. A good inspection light is equally helpful when working underneath the bonnet or in darker areas of the vehicle. For maintenance tasks, having suitable equipment can save both time and effort.

Another little rusty part replacement today. The fuel evaporator protector. Ie. the rusty sheet metal box circled in yellow. Part number 755B0-CD000 Managed to source it off Amayama for pretty cheap, £20. "PROTECTOR, EVAPORATOR HOSE;PROTECTOR-EVAP HOSE" It's 3 nuts and 2 bolts to remove. (One captive stud i snapped) and the bolts I removed were basically dust. So popped in whatever random bolts I had that fit. And had just enough stud left to take the nut and hold once refitted . Mismatched but the whole lot now looks much better.

You have done a double post mate

Does anyone have full wiring diagram for accelerator pedal? I need to get into it all a look for corrosion on pins or broken cables that are affected by heat after 1-2 hour drive 350z hr

Oil cooling is well documented. So why give a car with no oil cooler to go on an 8 minute lap lol

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I’ve currently had this nightmare problem for the last two years.

A long long journey down to Pembrey at the weekend for 2 more days of Sprinting. around 650 miles drove in total and over £200 of Shells finest but the double win was worth it.

I always use mytyres and then go to my local place and see if they can beat/match. If not I use them. Been using that site for maybe 16 years
