Hi I noticed in the last few day, when it got really cold over here that the car would take much longer than normal to warm up. i.e heating kicked in much later. ( car never over heated though ) checked the radiator this morning and it was almost empty. So, leaving the engine runing I filled the radiator up and waited for the thermostat to open. When it did a considerable amount of water was drawn into the system but as I refilled the radiator up to compensate it started to trickle water from under the car, right hand side when stood in front of it, about 5 -10 inches in from the front wheel. I´ve had a cambelt, water pump etc change done about 10.000 miles ago …

as some of you know i got my finger out and finished my ipod holder, as it sits the now you push one end in so you can get it out from the other but what im thinking is getting on old electric wing mirror and a set of the switchs for it, strip the old mirror down and remove the motor from it that makes it fold in and use this to move a plate under the ipod so that it pushes it up for me, to control it id take the switch out of the controls that would normally fold the mirrors in fit it into the spare space on my existing controls like in the pic below thus being able to press it to lift it up ect. what do you think worth it? will it work? or just leave it lol

Times are hard and I need some cash! I am thinking of selling my pride and joy or possibly breaking it. Any ideas or offers??? Andy P.s. Engine and gear box perfect running 360 bhp and ran 13.77 quarter mile at Sant Pod!

have recently bought a personal reg & am wondering if i can legally fit it to my 300. Front is no prob as room for standard UK plate. On rear plate would like to have full reg on one line but not sure if there is enough room to take all letters/digits legally. Anyone help on this? the reg is CHR 151 S.

would the turbos off an auto fit and work properly with a manual? i know its probably not ideal, but its only as a temporary solution while my engine and turbs are rebuilt and until of course money permits! any help would be appreciated! thanks

Well well well.... I have handed in my notice as SE REO, and the Region has been removed from the Area meets section, it's a sad day when the largest reigon on in the club is removed, there is a lack of interest in meets and attendance, My fault and yours, the meets were arranged and no one attended or there was little interest. :cry::cry: I'm sure in time some one will step forward who cxan liven the region up again, but with my redundancey and moving back up to March full time i am out of the region and too far to be of any use.:nana2: With my redundncy and me moving back to March full time i am out of the region and too far away to be of any use as a REO…

Speaking to some of my mates {car buffs} they said that mods on cars arent to everyones taste and that a standard car looks pretty when kept standard, mods that are done to supplement the cars looks, are better than agressive looks ,so does this thread make sense to any one

EDIT- Start at post 6 My car starts fine every morning and drives great But.. If i turn it off wilst its still warming up, say to go into the shop, then turn it back on it drives like an absolute tard. It idles about 450rpm and wants to stall at every junction (sometimes does stall) But... If i let it warm up wilst having this issue then restart the car it drives ok again, and If i give it a quick blast it drives ok again. But... If i sit on idle it starts to feel as if its missfiring slightly but... If i restart it wilst warm i dont get any problems Any idea's?

What would be preferable for my 300zx NA: New Nissan 300zx TT brakes or New Nissan 350Z brakes? I can't get NA Nissan brakes because NA's were never on sale in South Africa.
