Ever since i fitted the rps max clutch im having this strange problem. Once the car is warm and has been driven for a while the biting point raises by about 2 inches. Once the car has cooled down again the biting point is back to the bottom? Now ive fitted the group buy braided clutch line and bled the system.No problem!! I noticed that the slave cylinder is leaking very slightly would this contribute to the problem? Just seems a bit strange as to why the biting point would rise so much after its warm? p.s im using dot 5.1 maybe this is the prob???......:( Anyone ever had this problem b4?

My SWB slicktop has trims at the edge of the roof (running length ways along the car). These run into the windscreen line as a piece of trim. They seem to be ally with some kind of rubberised black coating on them. The black has started to chip away in a couple of places. This will be easy enough to touch up if need be but I wondered if they can be polished and if anyone had done it? Cheers Mike

This morning my when i woke up my girlfriend told me my lights were on on my 300zx, i knew i turned them off last night but i went to check, when i got outside my lights werent on!! the light switch was in the off position, however my battery was flat, i decided to jump it off our other car, as soon as i connected the jump leads, my lights came on even though the light switch was in the off position! i turned the switch to 'on' then 'off' again and the lights went out! started the car and left it to tick over for 10 mins, however when i got home from work and tried to start the car again it was flat ( which i half expected anyway ) so now ive put the battery on charge ove…

Hello Just wondering if anybody else gets some vibration throught both seat when driving on uneven roads, Yet sometimes i dont get the vibrations, was just wondering what this could be and is it pricie?:nelson:

bonjourna, picked up auto express's car yesterday, very happy with the drive its got a solid engine, few bits and bobs need doing to the bodywork which I'm gonna crack on with.. I was thinking though as the car is red, do you reckon the top half would look nice black? i.e. the tailgate, spoiler and windscreen pillars. I love black and red and I think I may have seen this combo on another car and it looked wkd, waddya reckon.. possible carbon fibre bonnet as well to top it all off..

Hello. I was wondering if there is any garage in scotland that is really good with zeds? Recently had it in fast fix autos in greenock but wasn't to impressed to be honest. Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere else? cheers

head gasket problem loosing coollent but its not mixed with oil wat can it be

First video I managed to get. This is after initial running to get everything up to temp, check for leaks etc. and do some very, very basic mapping to at least let it rev a bit without stalling. Still some big flatspots even with no load but that'll all get sorted soon. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ncxR7xNcSfI Cheers to Rob (dunkzxtt) for helping out today too :duffer:

bottom end or lifters:confused:

The first time I have spotted a Zed on the road since I bought mine in June ! :hyper: On the A14 Eastbound coming up to the services near Kettering. Couldn't see too much of it other than it was red and had an aftermarket front panel and spoiler.

Just realised today that my car has indiglow sill/kick plates fitted but not wired in. So I did something a bit stoopid :o after removing one I decided that I would see if it lit up and put it straight to 12 volts. Guess what nothing happened. Then in a flash of inspiration I realised it should have an inverter. So 2 questions, does it mean I have knackered it by putting it straight to 12v and secondly if I haven't can I buy invertors alone? Cheers M

how much would a good clean secondhand rear subframe cost from an atuo cost because of my other thread hicas removal?

Haven't seen deve8uk (Chris) for a while on the forum, anyone heard from him and is he ok.:)

have i missed much me old fruits?

After I have changed the crank and install new belts, Now when i turn the steering it makes a horrible noise like a squeel. Would it the a loose belt?

planing to remove the aiv sytem but going to stick to the removal of the carbon canister for now but would like to know two things. firstly because im about to pull engine because of tub almost everything is disconnected so cant run the car at present. 1st qusetion shall i wait untill the engines back in and running or do it whilst out and secound question is will the removal upset anything like the ecu chip because because the car has an aftermarket chip in because of ebc has been fitted .bassically the car was running spot on before and dont wont to upset anything when plug back in???? cheers.:)

my attempt.

I'm replacing the polythene vapor sheet that are stick to the door beneath the door cards. Has anyone got any suggestions for a suitable adhesive similar to the black sticky stuff that Nissan used. I could use a black silicone but i don't think it will stick to the polythene too well.

At 4.25pm today. Looked like a 99 spec spoiler and it had two single exit exhaust.
