Hey, doing a lot of work at the front replacing power steering pump/120k service/engine coolant radiator etc. It's an auto (1990 TT) thats had the air con removed, with auto box pipes routed to the air con radiator, and a manual engine radiator. Got some nasty oil leaks from just about every metal pipe going to the radiators, mostly the power steering, and engine oil pipes. Access is okay since just about everything is out, happy to make my own pipes for the short power steering connection. Just wondering what's the easiest option from people's experience? New ready to order pipes? Make my own pipes? And if so, what size/grade? Any advice appreciated, …

Hi all, Taking on my first proper mechanical project on the 300zx that I've acquired and it's going to be sorting out the radiator that has a hole in it. I'm thinking of installing a manual Radiator and then installing an Oil Cooler for the gearbox oil. Looking at something like this for the oil cooler: It seems a fairly simple enough job, but there are a few things I'm hoping someone can help with: 1) When I put the oil cooler in, should I top that up with autobox oil first or let the car run and top up based on the oil level? 2) The oil cooler kits that I've seen come with AN10, AN8, or AN6 hoses. Does anyone know which AN size would be …

Spotted a nice black Z today with an interesting nose panel in heading from Beford East Yorkshire heading across the A165 into Skipsea. Number plate might have said "Gaz" or something similar.

Haven't seen a thread on this for a while so let's see the current demographics on model year. Pick for the cars you currently own. I'm betting 1992 will have the most.

Hi guys Well im doing a bit of research for a temp fix on the heater in zebedee. The temp control has never worked but the fan works fine on all speeds. Lee dent did a bit of troubleshooting last time she was there relays all good fuse box ok no wet the control pod swapped out for another with no change to problem so we think its the motor that controls the air gate thats gone. As the temp is stuck on full hot it makes driving in warm weather even with everything switched off quite uncomfortable so i want to try and get under the dash and manually pull the air gate into a cooler position. Does anyone have any photos or info as to where the gate and motor is so i have …

Long wait is over! Very pleased with it! Only odd thing is the chassis plate is missing....slightly concerning. Thought it looks like it's been gone for a while. I assume it had to go through various checks in Japan though so..... Any thoughts?

Im getting ready for some new pads in my 350Z gold brembo front calipers. I have been using a set of Porterfield R4S compound which have been superb. I was going to change to some Ferodo DS2500s as the Porterfields are not readily available in the UK and are quite pricey. Price is not an issue tho.I just need a pad that works on track 100% and is acceptable on the road. Does any one have any thoughts/suggestions?? Also under consideration are.... Hawk HP+ (not HPS) or Project MU HC800 (not NS400) or EBC Bluestuff.
