Today was the day, new clutch time, it started well, everthing off until it came to the bellhousing bolts, someone must have hired guy the gorilla to do them up, besides no fooking room, to get sockets in. After much swearing and ciggies it was off, the new clutch went on no probs, and the rest wasnt too bad. Honestly i thought zed engines were bad, but then it throws O2 sensors and a clutch in the party. I have learnt a big lesson, NEVER NEVER AGAIN will i do it myself. But its in and fully working, just need to adjust it slightly. Give me engines out anyday. Plenty of Stella to be consumed tonight. STU

Hi there everyone, Can i get your opinion in this radiator? Is it a decent replacement or is a new Nissan item the way forward? Many thanks, Rob http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230278844166

I've bought all the bits and am ready to start a new ICE install. I've also got myself a new interior so it will all go in together hopefully. I haven't quite decided how I want to fit it and how to arrange the various speakers etc so any help would be appreciated. Any links to any nice zed installs would be great. The components I have are: Pioneer DEX P90RS and DEQ P90 processor 2 X Diamond Audio D7401 amps (maybe a third if necessary) 2 X Diamond Audio Subs TDX12D4 Pair of Pioneer TS-M01RSII speakers with TS-T01RSII tweeters. I can do some work myself but if anyone knows a good amateur installer in or around southampton who wants to ear…

Hi all, I have snapped my rear off side drop link (whatever that is). I know the part is only about £40 from Nissan (although I wil buy it from MJP); my question is, how much of a job is it to replace? I'll not be doing it myself BTW...... Thanks, Richard:cool:

Hey everyone, The day was going quite good today until I lost power on the motorway all of a sudden. Mine is a jap spec and the stock boost guage is not reading past 0 and there is no power at all. After reading a few threads here I believe its the passenger turbo seized. Now the symptom of this that I can think of is my oil pump. I always check my oil and water before taking the Z on the road and them both are always fine. But while driving every now and then, the stock oil guage would show really low readings. Now I have read here that the stock oil pressure guages are poo. So I did ignore it all this time but obviously, it was reading right. Just wanted to confirm th…
