Hello peoples, 

If this has been posted elsewhere apologizes, could I please be directed to the post. 

Im in need of some advice please. I have myself a 240z with all the usual rust that one is graced with. Which I would like to get repaired. 

What I am after ideally is some names or companies to inquire with. On costs / timeframes etc. I would love to be a part of bringing it back to life, so im not really after a drop off and see it in six months type of deal. The car is currently located in Napier, however I would like to bring it down to Wellington at some stage where I am based. 

So does anyone know of any good panel beaters in Wellington or Napier. Type of guy that enjoys a beer and a yarn?...also likes z's / knows the rust issues in the old z's 

Also I deal in the cash moneys for all those interested  

I would be looking to bring most the repair panels in from overseas, I take it these are the two most commonly used sites? or is there others I should check out..

I had the same symptoms in my old commodore vn 3.8 series 2. Would run fine cold, as soon as heated up was missing and generally ran like rubbish. 

Turned out to be a crank angle sensor, I also go that fault code. You can test if take vehicle for a drive let it warm up to get the symptoms. Park up and slowly pour cool water over the sensor, located behind the harmonic balancer. Then start up again see if it runs better, something to do with the sensor expanding when getting hot giving wrong readings.

I replaced with a second hand one the first time, a year later same symptoms again. So I went new the 2nd time around. From memory wasnt that expensive new. The hardest bit was needing the correct tool to remove the harmonic balancer / pulley. Hence why the first time I went 2nd hand from a local wrecker in chch and they replaced for me took no more than 10 min for him with the tool needed.

Another way to test is - From memory when you check the fault codes / jumping the pins the radiator fan goes full speed? I had to do that a few times to get back home as the radiator fan going for 5mins or so was enough to cool the sensor down and get you home !
