Is this engine stand strong enough to hold a vg30dett safely? http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ces-750a-engine-stand/path/workshop-cranes-engine-stands

Is there any way of testing the handbrake warning light? I have a feeling the bulb has blown because it doesn't come on when the handbrake is applied and after checking the switch out today it seems to be working OK. I've also pulled the connector off the brake fluid reservoir which I imagined would make the light come on? but it didn't. Does this sound like a blown bulb? Cheers.

Bought the kit to replace as much pipe work as possible. Problem is i cant find any 8mm pipe work for the 8mm silicone hose. Where is it hiding? Also could i use some large boost pipe to run a hose from the turbo/intercooler pipe straight to the idle valve (IAA) cutting out the hard pipe section?

I came accross this on E-Bay and it got me thinking........ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200317049648&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010 I wonder what other kit you need to get this thing working? My understanding is it is a proper 7 speed manual gearbox (no shitty torque converters) so it should be quite efficient! They seem to shift nice and fast, take a look at the following video: XUBV6xzzLsk That car has 720hp and achieves 229mph so I'd say it's a fairly strong 'box :mac1:

Does anyone know if a 200sx or any other nissan clutch pedal/master cylinder will fit a Zed? A bit of modifying isn't a problem, as long as it isn't ridiculous, cos I'm sure you all know, these for the Zeds are like rocking horse poop, and I really need one! :cry: Cheers....

Hi, what mirrors look good on a Black 300 TT. I am having here resprayed later in year and would like to change the mirrors to something a bit sexyier if you know what I mean.

The manifolds came in last week so got the turbo fitted in place this weekend, oil lines on the way. I collected the front bumper from the paint shop so I can now mock up the intercooler and find a rad to fit. The turbo flange needs rotating about 10 degrees but apart from that it fits!! You can see the turbo flanges needs rotating And here it is.....

When I press the button in to clean my windscreen, after the wipers have done there bit.. they often return to the centre of my windscreen, rather than going back down out the way... it really annoys me and i have to press it in a few times by which stage the windows have smeared or ive used 2 litres of washer fluid in the process.. how can this be fixed?
