I am in the process of changing my NA auto prop centre bearing. I have a good 2nd hand bearing on a seemingly good front half of prop. Is it OK to mix this half with the existing? Or must I swop the bearing over onto my original prop. Also does it matter what orientation the spline end goes in the autobox? As I notice that the spline has two opposing keyways.

still some detailing and bits to put back on .

getting the tracking done on sat and had noticed that the back end has been very twitchy and had a knocking noise, got it on a four poster today expecting the worse luckily nothing wrong, think its just the hard seting of the teins and the greasy roads and the traking being a mile out making it slip about the knocking was just a loose exhaust heatshield the rest of the car looks fine aswell, am well chuffed

Hi, Anyone have any ideas to repair the rubber flap that sits over the bottom moulding on the rear 1/4 windows? Mine have just perished away over time and even the spare UK windows I have are the same :( Only ideas we have so far is to make it up out of an epoxy/filler and paint it or make a flap from a piece of rubber and glue it in place.

Hi all At some point in its life my zed has been jacked up under the radiator crossmember so it is damaged, atthe same time the cross member that goeas across the front of the car at the top and bolts to the air pipes and radiator has also moved upwards. This all means that my bonnet does not sit right and I have had to set the catch at its lowest point to get it to look almost ok. Is the front crossmember that holds the headlights etc welded in or bolted in? Is it something that can be replaced or jigged out should I just live with it? I found this pic on Ebay and it got me wondering if they cut it out or unbolted or what? Cheers

..do you think a garage would charge for soldering 6 injector connectors - replacing the old ones...?

As title........ Or is there another way using an aftermarket sender unit? Plan B is an aftermarket gauge but I really don't want to go down that route yet. TIA Rob.

I have an apexi avcr boost controller. The vacum hose goes directly from the turbos to the com port on the apexi solenoid. Is that wrong? Because nothing changes whatever boost/duty I set. Note - At the time my speed sensor to the ecu doesn't work. Don't know if that have any thing to do with it... And I'm pretty sure the wastegate actuators was adjusted a bit because of fitment issues. Can that have anything to do with my problem? I have boost. But too much I think. Goes right up to 1.5 bar (thats when I went of the throttle) no matter what I set the boost controller at. (gt600r turbos)

Hey all Whats the preference? I want to get a red stitched steering wheel for my car, has anyone got a 320mm? what do you think? too small etc etc. Cheers Ron

I went over/into the smallest bump in the world! :(

Hi all, I bought an engine stand so i can finish off my engine! Im scared of putting the complete engine on the stand even though the stand can take upto 500kg. Im more bothered about what i need to use to bolt the engine to the stand. Do i need strenthend bolts or anything like that? My worst nightmare would be for the engine to be to heavy for the bolts and it falls to the floor. Thanks Dan

OK... Own up.... who did I see in a RED Zed in Grays this afternoon... we flashed each other... Nice looking standard red zed

Hi, I need some new or good second hand Lambda Sensors, where is the best place to get some? Cheers

No, this isn't a joke thread. Few things have happened lately which has made me take another look at my life (not money related). I've completely lost interest in cars including my Z. Sufice to say that I am very seriously thinking about putting it up for sale. I never thought I'd say it. I dunno whether I'm making a good decision or a bad one. Yes, I do know all the 'you'll regret it mate' things. But I just really have zero interest in it anymore.

nothing to do with me but Mmmm, lovely wheels :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Skyline-GTR-Advan-Sienna-Gen-II-Wheels_W0QQitemZ280312406530QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item280312406530&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Got the PAS ECU plug a few days ago. Cheers for the freebie!! Looks like the HICAS ECU has a bit of a hissy fit when it can't see the engine one. Going to convert to an NA unit instead.

I 'think' it was Snoopy. Although can't be sure. Noticed a smooth nose panel.
