can anyone tell me why the oil pressure would jump all the time from 120 down to 0?

Another vid of the 500zx, bit of a compilation. Prob be the last one until I get to the dyno as it's still only locked to about 60% throttle and 7k rpm at the minute. Shame the video camera doesn't really capture the sound properly though, on the drive by, it sounds immense when you're actually there! Proper spine tingling!

Lights now working! thanx for all who replied to my prob & yes it was just a fuse! Now i can relax. . . for a while atleast. Oh nxt job, fit washer bottle as the car did't come with one lol.

Does anyone have any contact details for Nend??? Email or telephone would be good if possible

H reg Not sure on anyother details other than it had standard lights on the rear, A1 M about 4:00pm @ J59 heading north. :)

and get my car repaired, i moan and groan about everything i do on my car, but im gonna bite the bullet and strip it (starting this weekend), im not letting it go for buttons, ive put too much work into it to let it go for less than 3k (was willing to take £2500 for it), but *****cks im gonna repair, would prefer to crush it rather than let someone take it for buttons as for so called members talking behind the scenes about my car, it has been very faithfull and has only really let me down on the underside of the body and some wear and tear, it has all been fully sorted, the running prob ive had for so long has been the lack of opening it up on the open road and the …

My 300 just failed MOT today on a few points. Its a 92 Z32 TT Manual. Below is what it failed on most are easy to remedy: nearside registration plate bulb not working nearside front brake caliper has restricted free movement offside rear wheel steering ball joint has excessive play nearside rear wheel steering connection has excessive freeplay and brakes not tested due to caliper problem now the first 2 should be no problem as long as i can get the caliper to free off i think it is just binding slighty any advise on this? i saw it on the ramps for the rear wheels and the offside rear hicas link bush looks a bit worn so if anyones knows…

hi guys I just had one of the Driftworks hicas eliminator kits fitted. but the car is pulling all over the shop and of course alignment is needed now iv been quoted a few prices for laser alignment assuming the hicas is still in place. Now being as it removed shouldnt the cost of alignment be cheaper? iv been quoted around 110 - 140 for this but also just 35 pounds if they are able to adjust it like regular cars. So with the hicas eliminator kit in place im assuming the cost is cheaper as less work is needed for adjustments? I dont know

Anyone know which fuse covers the front fog lamps, I have obviously blown mine during a bulb change and now they both do not work. I trust its in the footwell box as well, that is why I am asking.

well have you's lol if it dont go for for the price i have in mind, im gonna remove the sump on my week off, and try and repair, failing that then i will strip it and keep the good parts incase i ever get another zed

I really like these rear lights but would they be legal here without a reflector as per oem lights ? Could this be got round with stick-on reflectors on the bumber for example ? (I know that sounds horrid !) http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/&ei=2agdSqirHtm4-QbAjY3OBQ&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dyahoo%2Bauctions%2Bjapan%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4HPEB_en-GBGB255GB255

:confused: Hi, firstly i'd like to thank all you guys for your advice yesterday about my sidelights/headlights not working. I found the fuse box by the accel checked all 10amps which look fine to my anoyance! I thought i'd just check the rest while i was there & found a 15amp that had blown, turns out that this was inline with the after market fog lamp. I replaced the fuse & found the fog working now but sidelights stuck on with no dash & switch in off position?? Dose the Z have a parking switch which i havent stumbled on? Regards Matt

When i am in neutral my rev's are a little under 1000rpm, but when i put her in gear with the clutch pressed in they increase very slightly, is this normal, or does it mean throwing more money at her. cheers, Dom

This weekend thinking of starting the removal of the engine for a rebuild. i cant find a very good engine removal guide? or is it that simple there isnt one? lol. ill be doing this on my drive, is it even possible without lifting the car in the air? its an auto aswell does that change anything? im going to be hiring a crane when it comes to the big pull will i need any adapters for the crane to engine etc?? Many Regards Andy

silver,heading north about 11am on monday?

Just caught a look from the side, looked pretty standard around 19:20 Wednesday 27th may, heading towards durham

Hi again, just wanted to ask if everyones Z is a nightmare to drive in the wet, mine is useless i have to go everywhere slow, even if the roads are just slighty damp i'am going sideways, although when i am on my own its not a prob as i love it, buts its not so good with the missus & boy in the car. i'am not new to rwd turbo cars. My tryes have been stretched onto the rim, they are 235, with quite a large stretch, seems very small for the type of car any suggestions other then learn to drift, which by the way i am getting very good at lol.

Does anyone know about these boost controllers? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Gizzmo-IBC-Electronic-Boost-Controller-Ltd-Edition_W0QQitemZ220421542002QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item335225d072&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:200 i know about the apexi ones etc but to be honest i think the look abit tacky and dont really want a big plastic display stuck randomly on my dash, also its a little out my price range. I quite like the compact size of it, but are they any good?
