... at 14:30 today. Didn't recognise driver ...

hi guys, rite the passengerside exhaust is poofing out blue smoke now i thought it was the oil seal in the turbo but somebody said it might be the pcv i removed the pipes and the drivers side it sucking very well but the passengerside doesnt suck asmuch and there is a small ammount of water in each pipe (is that normal) and i have a faulty knock sensor aswell (which looks like great fun to change) so basically i am asking if the pcv would cause that side of the engine to burn oil or is it infact the turbo and would the knock sensor cause the overfuling and black exhaust tips even after as little as 10 miles

What colour are the standard factory balance bars seen some black and some a gold ish colour just wondered thats all.;)

Hi, my stock boost gauge is not working, well, it twitches a little when I rev the engine, but that's it... I will be fitting an aftermarket one at sometime, but would like the original to work, can anyone tell me where the pipes etc. or whatever could be causing it are located, or if it is a sensor? Cheers ya'll........ Tudor...

Hi all, I think I have a faulty or cream crackered dett. sensor, but the loom isn't as good as it was, is there a test to check if the wires to the ECU are sound? (ie. using a multimeter, certain resistence, voltage etc.) Cheers guys.......

Seen a black z the past few Tuesdays parked on the Trinity building car park at Newcastle-Under-Lyme college. Clean-looking lwb manual na import with racing hart wheels (I think). The owner (a young lady:eek:) caught me admiring it the last time I saw it but I was too surprised to find it was a girl driving it to speak to her before she drove away lol :headvswal Anyone know if they're a member on here/who it might have been? CheerZ, Vern

But my car's been painted!! lol Have to say I've not met nicer guys than Scott and Brett at Custom Exotics and thanks to 2 Chris's that sent me their way. I was there Saturday and really happy with the prep work they had done and the fact that they weren't happy with things so re-done them so the job would look right and didn't ask for extra money:bow: Real nice guys and for the first time I was actually excited on getting my Z back :) It's 2 years next week that I've been without my Z but after a chat with Scott today, looks like I should be getting my car back very shortly :dance: Downside is the last garage managed to get overspray all over my suspension…

an old aquaintance has offered me his m reg 300zx non turbo for £1500. Its a dark green targa top with 90 oddk miles on it and mot till next June It appeals to me slightly due to the price and I have an urgent need for a car that will fit my 3 yr old daughter in the back and my 6 yr old son in the front. I've had GTR33's, Supra TT,s and numerous 200sx'x ( was actually going to get another) but have since been a bit shorter of cash so I now have a mk1 mx5!! It'll obviosuly be smoother and quicker than the mx5 but I was looking forward to getting a car with some sppeed in it again. do the non turbo cars match up well with the likes of 200sx's or do they…

hi what does this code mean ???
