hi anyone help me with a cheaer car insurance im 40 4 years no claims. tried adrian fux came up with crazy prices i have 300zx import. can anyone hep

well basically its been ages since i could do a diagnostic since i did all the work on the z last year now the last few weeks have shown up an odd problem i now seem to be getting a code 54 which i have never had before and shouldnt get!! 54 Signal circuit from the automatic transmission (A/T) (A/T models only) The A/T communication line is open or shorted Harness and connector mine is a manual and has been from the factory has anybody else had this problem and could it be caused by my duel mapped ecu?

What's the above worth out of interest? There's one around the corner from me quite a good example just need a good clean an polish. Seems a shame for such a good example to be so dirty. Needs a bit of love before it starts to turn to a rust heap. Looks like its running ok as it's on the roadside parked up so must have tax etc.

Could have been worse as it just skimmed the sump, the thread on the sump plug adapter is stuck in there which means the sump thread will be fine :) juts ordered a new sump adapter and sensor again grrrrrrrrr. Will post up pics soon. really close one... Im going to post up some pics of the damage and the massive lump in the road which has obviously taken out quite a few cars, you can see the grounding marks. The council will be hearing from me very soon.

How and where do i check my oil levels for auto transmission?

My car is lowered 40mm on 17inch wheels It doesn't have any aftermarket adjustment parts fitted, i have bought driftworks camber arms front and back and tension rods with the intention of getting it all adjusted. But, i haven't noticed any kind of abnormal tyre wear of any kind, how neccesary are these parts? is it possible i dont need them?

hope for a speedy sale as i have my next car in mind

Whats new here? have a guess.....

Anyone tried this, 18" Rims on the front and 19" on the back, pictures if anyone has some. cheers Paul

I know this has been covered time after time but i wonder if some1 could shed some light on my particular case... Last year i changed my centre prop bearing and rear gearbox mount due to vibrations through the seat. This cleared the vibes and all was well. However, just recently the vibes have gradually been climbing there way back up the viboscale and now they are just as bad again. Due to the fact that the centre prop bearing cured it last time, would i be correct in assuming that the new centre bearing could have tightened up the propshaft but was imminently going to fail again with a latent prop failure, like worn u/j knuckles allowing the shaft to play, or …

I have a question... Obviously lol Ok, if I have a clutch that isn't good enough to handle the power in my car what would happen when I was driving? Is there any tell tlil signs

hi people, got my zed back today from "jimmer" on here. he totally rebuilt my engine with all the little jobs that your standard mechanic would and could not do!!! total strip down, rebore, skim, valve seat and polish, any bad stuff replaced with good stuff, forged internals..... the list is endless!!!! (got myself some Z1 525 tubs, and boy, do they kick ur ass into the chair!!) all backed with a complete break down in photographs. (i got approx 30 pics, start to finish), and it only took 4 weeks!!!!!! any way, if you are reading this jim, a big thank you mate, just wish i knew you a few years ago, could have saved a small fortune throwing m…

Would I be better off getting my TT manual box recondition? (can some one give me a price to do it myself or get someone else to do it). Or would I be better off using the NA manual gearbox? (how much power will it be able to take)

After todays boost leak test i found a couple of sneaky sniper type leaks on some vacuum hoses... sorted them but i can still hear a very feint hiss coming from the drivers side recirc area. I have felt all round the pipework and wiggled it (just a little bit - ooh ah) but the frequency of the leak didnt change so before i go ripping it all apart i thought id call upon your experiences... assuming i havent got a snake or a pissed off cat lodged in there somewhere, is there anyway air can leak to atmosphere from the recircs assuming all the hoses are good? of course it could be the intercooler but i could only hear it by wedging my head in the nose panel area and…
