I had my car resprayed last year and was very happy with the job, however six months later rust started to come through so i took it back and they fixed it for me, however another six months later the rust bubbles are coming back... Is the only way to permantly fix it to have new metal welded in? If so, how much should i be paying to have this done? cheers guys

After totally shagging up fitting the clear rear lights, ie, doing it with a hair dryer, then blowing it up, put the lenses back as the black glue had already hardend. Many thankyous to Mr Isherwood, for the advice re using the cooker. Now looks perfect......... Cheers Stu

Anyone know where to get these parts and is there any documentation on how its done ? Cheerz

hey people i have purchased from "flea-bay" a sandwich plate for my oil temp gauge, and been advised that this is NO GOOD (dumps oil because the seals are s**t). anyway, i have been told that you can get a sump plug with an attachment for a sender unit/switch for an oil temp gauge, which is a much safer approach. problem starts here!!! i have search the net, to no avail! where can i get one of these sump plugs with the connection for an oil temp sender connector??? any help guys? cheers, alan.

My 300ZX has developed an odd problem with the ABS. Everytime I come to a stop the ABS kicks in just as I slow to about 2 miles/hour, I can hear it whirring away behind the drivers seat. It's like the ECU senses the wheels are coming to a stop but doesn't sense that I'm already at a very low speed. No warning lights are showing. This used to happen on very rare ocasions but now happens every time I stop. I have bled the fluid at the ABS unit and no air was present. I've also checked the LED on the ECU and no error codes. Any ideas?

what you got? or what you thinking of getting? or what do you think you might think about getting but you havent quite got round to deciding whether youve thought hard enough about what to get and therefore cant choose? or what did you have? and stuff... etc... recommendations :confused:

well... was it?

Hi guys My car has been blowing slightly warm air for about a year so i decided yesterday to get the air con recharged> All was fine when i got it back as it was blowing ice cold air but when i tried it today and put the temp to 10 and pressed auto its back to warmish air again? I was told there was no pressure reading on the air con specialists machine when he done it and he said that the could possibly be a leak and it might only last a few days or weeks before it goes warm? Has anyone else had a problem like this and if it is leaking is it an expensive repair the air con is needed these days with the warm weather we get lol

Does anybody have an email address for mgh197, or is there anybody else on here who could possibly help with some negotiations with a lendor?!

mrs murf has broken the Z today:rant: have pulled off the scuttle panels and found a coupling in the middle bit(tech term) is broken, tried to bodge with cable ties then realised the scissor action of the system:headvswal have placed back together and seems to work ok???? i guess it's meant to have a pin/ bolt type thing going through the lot? question is will my wipers work for more than 2 seconds on a bumpy road and if not, has any one got one of the bits i need?

Hi All, What engine mounts would you advise to use? Considering the spec i have im not sure if stock engine mounts will be good enough? Would nismo be the better opsion. Thanx

Yes to add to my woes I went and bent one of my rims and proberbly the trackrod to boot. Having had a serious run in with the mad Ex I was tacking it out on my little SWB NA. I was drifting through a section of bends not far from where i live. Left, Right, left and the final right hander as you come onto the straight. Did the usual let wheel feed it self through my hands to straighten up for the straight. Must have let too much gas off and over steered. Couldn't catch it before coming to contact with the curb with a thud. Worst of all this old guy was watering his garden. He'd obviously heard me screaching through the bends and watch my disaterous last man…

Basicaly i have play in my front passanger's side wheel and i think it is coming from the upper link and the kingpin bearings. Anybody know where to get these or the part numbers? nice one, jamie.

Just got a price for 6, $520 including collar pieces needed, 540cc. How does this seem?

going to be buying a Z this weekend, i already have GReddy boost Gauge from my last car. do people have 2 gauges as its twin turbo? or is there a location that will say what the cars producing. if the 2 turbos are on 10PSI each, will the gauge read 20PSI? little confused as to how it works

My insurance is £804 this year!!! So i've come to terms with that but today asked them if i can spread it monthly as i haven't quite got the lump sum and it changes it to well over a £1000 :shock: :rant:

I keep seeing these things, and although I understand what they are trying to do, I cant see how an electric fan can add too much to the system, especialy when you start adding ICE, cooling and various other electrical draws to te system. Anyway, while looking for something completelydifferent I stumbled on this http://www.vintagebus.com/howto/e-ram/ someone actualy took time to do an unbiased test, and suprise suprise it worked. a little.

Got a set of HIDS to fit at the weekend, and was wondering where the best place is to fit them? I was gonna put them under the nose cone, but wont have the room after I upgrade the intercoolers and filter.
