Parked up in Mcdonalds carpark black with silver stickers down the side

i managed to sneak into a vx220 meet lol

Had this problem for a while, changed the old bushes to poly ones as most here asid this would cure the problem......made no difference whatsoever so decided to take a closer look at the brakes. Checked all pistons individually and all are moving ok although on the left side i noticed the top clip that hold the top straight rod that runs left to right that holds the top of the spring that holds in the pad (still with me????) was not there and the pin was halfway out which also meant the spring was twisted...............put all this back with a new clip but not yet tested. Without sounding too desperate and still not tested yet, if it still does it what could it …

Would that have been you mr reo sat at the lights by the oatsheaf in fleet on bank holiday monday arround 8-9pm?

Cant post any pics as my card reader has died but I picked up the car on saturday and it is awesome so far. Couple of teething problems: 1. the revs die when stopping if the AC is on (I'm guessing this is because they have mapped the car with the AC off) 2. Second gear is a pig to get in (new short shifter fitted any ideas? too tight on the plastic bushes?) couple of other little things but all in all its awesome, I can only use 4k revs but it feels really smooth and tight, steering is pin sharp and the brakes are a huge improvement. The suspension is firm well stiff would be a better description but still compliant although could do with being softened …

Hey all I have decided that my exhasut is too loud. I would like something that is raw and loud when you cane it but at normal cruising / driving speeds is not. Any ideas? Ive got Jasma? boxes and decats. Put the cats back on? go for a different set up? What do you reckon?

Saw you trundling down the 2+ lane about 9am this morning heading towards Downend.

For information: I dont know if anyone has tried this on a Z but it should now be possible with the technology out there, I was reading an interesting thread, see link. http://www.go-lpg.co.uk/Maserati.html Someone has put a 6 cyl Twin Tub Maserati on LPG, multipoint system. Just thought some people may be interested, obviously would not recommendgoing to just any LPG converter for such work!

After driving my Z for a couple of hundred miles, the radiator level gets a bit low and as soon as i stop the engine it leaks out of the bottom of the expansion filler tube where it joins the tank part. i cannot see anywhere else where it is leaking, i beleive there is a valve to the expansion tank which is not letting water back into the rad if i fill up the expansion tank. Anyone experienced this themselves ? I have read on here about members doing away with the expansion system altogether !?

Hi! Probably I will buy a car in this website, but I need to inform about the deposit for safe the car..Is safety? Sorry for my english Thanks:hyper:

Hi My speedo went wrong recently on my TT. I noticed the Hicas light came on soon after. This is obviously because of the speed sensor (I think). This makes the steering go heavier. The thing is though I prefer the steering heavier. Once I've sorted out the speedo, is there anything I can do to keep the steering heavier ?? David

A problem I've had for some time as originally my geometry was completely on the cock and the HICAS boss was out of alignment. After rebuilding the suspension, set the dead-ahead position in relation to the tab at the top of the HICAS boss. Then, had all the geometry set. Drives perfectly, except when you accelerate quickly and the wheel then turns off centre. After a while (about 5 - 10 mins of driving), the HICAS light comes back on and the problem goes away. What I can't understand is; why, after setting everything up, does it still do this? The car drives perfectly and the geometry is set up correctly.

All the dash kit threads made me have a squizz on fleabay and I cam across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300ZX-90-91-92-93-94-95-96-BLACK-CHROME-Dash-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em122QQcategoryZ33705QQihZ004QQitemZ140236426374QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V does anyone have this installed or anything similar?
