I'm using my old oil cooler as the new auto gearbox cooler and wondered what to use to clean it out so it does not contaminate the gearbox oil :confused:

Hi guys, I need a new pair of rear springs and shocks on my NA. Where is the best place to get these replaced, assuming I buy the parts. By 'best' I mean cheap but competent. I live in Basingstoke... Pervez

Hello, I did recieve some very useful help on this last week, but it appears my garage has changed mechanics from the one who used to do all my work and the new one is nowhere near as good! Basically the clutch pedal went and they mended it, but didnt adjust the pedal properly so once i worked out what was wrong (via the site & its helpful fellows) i took it back and they mended it again using notes off this site as guidelines, (for free). I have now got it back and the problem still seems to be there but in the higher gears only. Now this could be due to the more powerful accerlaration in the lower gears making it harder to tell, but the higher gears seem to be …

Hi guys! I'm a proud owner of a '98 Nissan Primera P11 (or '99 Infiniti G20) which is going to go SR20VE. I did a front brake conversion which results into having 280 x 30mm rotors along with the Z32/S14 4 pot caliper (Sumitomo). For daily street driving im using ProjectMU B-Force pads which is ok. Now im looking for a set of pads for trackuse (Nordschleife, Zandvoort, Zolder). Which do you guys recommend. I find it hard to find something usefull because i dont know what temperatures are reached. I find the ProjectMU pads glaze too fast (pedal remains hard). The car has a weight off appr. 2600 pounds / 1200 kg. Im already using ATE Blue Racin…

which fuse controls the door shutting light, ie all doors are closed but the light on the dash is faintly on ? the boots shut and bonnet, everything shut properly ?? as i think this is causing the alarm to keep going off when i set it... thnx

Oh, so it's been a while since we had an insurance roundup. I've just had a very impressive quotation from Lyndbrook who I'll be changing my insurance to next month saving me £200+ on my existing policy. I go from having unlimited mileage to a limit of 5k a year, which is no biggy as I do about that anyway, in fact, I probably do 3,000 a year. So, let's have every one's age, the state of their licence/no claims, what you're paying, what you get and who you're with. Funkysi: 30 : 91 JDM TT: Full no claims + clean licence. Garaged, limited mileage (5K on classic 2nd car policy), all mods declared £285 fully comprehensive. Lynbrook.

basicly ive had big problems with wiring up my stereo, most of the origional wires had been cut etc and replaced with otherones, i found that the switched live wire was the one from the cigarette lighter.... i had the radio working but then went to wire up my under seat neons the the same live and must have blown something. The fuses have been checked and are fine, but the cigarette lighter or my stereo doesnt work, possibly something stopping the switchable live, being live! any ideas what else it could be ???

Hi all i cant find the link to the plenum water bypass guide. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers Dan

which wire behind the stereo is a live when ignition turns on??

Curious. 5 years or so ago, it was was understood that there were a high percentage of Auto's to Manuals in the UK, as the manuals were harder to find and more sought after a couple of years later, polls showed that Manuals had the slight edge compared to Auto. ...how about these days ? If you have a Auto converted to Manual, then choose Manual.

Looked at how to repair and come to the conclusion mine has had it. Pins have burnt out and the one on the "z32 how to" looks different to mine. Where is a cheap place to buy one of these, as i know members have bought one for £5 - £10 all in. Where did you get them? Thanks Damo

Im sure most of you rememebr the twinz rear bumper with diffuser concept design : Well its finished !! and will be ready for market soon !! .......... ME WANT !!!!

I've almost finished my manwell conversion, woohoo! But... Does anyone know where to connect the neutral switch on the gearbox to? I've read that you can leave it disconnected, but if it should go somewhere, I'll do it.... Cheers....

I am now struggling to decide what colour to spray my Z, I was going to go for a red, purple and blue flip paint or a kandy wine red. But I aint sure any more. I also like a metallic purple. At the moment I am open to all colours and would like to see some pics of your favourite coloured Z

Found this on us ebay, Looks good but a tad over priced for me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=330336598999

Found this on a internet mag/site i read thought it was worth a post. :) Nissan’s new 370Z is hardly inconspicuous as standard, this latest offering will elt those with 30-odd grand in the bank stand out from the crowd even more. Ultimate Yellow is the paint job and it signals a 370Z with everything that people expect of the 330bhp sportster along with exclusivity and “a potent visual impact that takes the 370Z’s muscular looks to new heights”, according to Nissan. The 370Z Yellow gets design cues from the racing 370Zs from the European GT4 series. The wheels are 19in RAYS forged alloys plus there's special 370Z graphics down the car's sides. Inside th…

Ok guys my MOT is going to be due in august but my engine is knocking....i t hink this would stop it from passing an mot am i right........couple of light problems also that i think would fail the mot and also........windscreen jets not working...could i fail an mot due to this? Think im just over reacting as i have these niglay problems so close to MOT time.

Ok........;UK version TT here. filled up my screenwash today and its not working, cant even hear the motor. this is probably one for stella(has it been removed?) Rear lights on the centre panel of the car....reverse lights are working...what are the other 2 lights? These are not coming on no matter what button i press.lol. Front left headlight is fine on dip beam then when i put to normal lights for driving the light still stays as a dip beam. And this oviously also has a knock on effect for my full beam? Is it to bulbs to the dip beam? possible problem?

Picked it up yesterday, drove it back to Essex in the pouring rain (no leaks, just a couple of small sideways moments) and I'm LOVING it!! Spent today after work redoing the front seats, there is some other changes I want to make, little bits that need attention asap (nothing major) but I wanted a "project car" First thing will be a good clean, inside and out, then I'll start with the little jobs that need doing, get the underside, wheel arches scrubbed and sealed for the winter then I think the suspension may receive some attention........... Well here she is, Big thanks to Chris for his time, advice and car ;) Original interior: …
