I bought a rad off a member and when I got home realised it was different to mine. My TT one has 2 outlets on the passenger side for the oil cooler, the one I bought has 2 more on the other side. Can I just loop some hose between the 2 extra outlets on the drivers side as I don't need them?

Remove the solenoids at the front and do the usual with the PS pump. THEN, jack up the rear of the car, undo the boot clamps at either end of the HICAS rack, slacken the locknuts and wind the stroke stoppers out on either end so they are touching the inner balljoints. Re-tighten the lock nuts and you've saved yourself some dosh :D Not tried this yet but I will be doing - there's plenty of thread on the stroke stoppers and they're not under any load....

Are these thought of as better quality than the Venom injectors?

Tried to do this at the weekend and was totally stumped. Does any one know how to get it off with out using an impact driver as there is no room? More to the point how do I tighten up an Unorthodox Racing Pulley? Cheers in advance, Andy

I tried to replace my standard alternater pulley with a lightened one at the weekend and couldn't figure out how to stop it from spinning in order to undo the nut. Is there a trick I am missing here? oh just remembered I need to figure out how to undo the crank pulley on a auto too. Better do another post!!

hi guys. at what temperature would the correct mixture of water and anti-freeze for the Z actually freeze? i put about 100ml in a plastic tub, shoved it in a -15 degree freezer and it's frozen solid. i also still think my running temp is a touch too hot. would too thin a mixture cause it to freeze too early and get too warm? sounds like ive just answered my own question but i want to know your thoughts about it! :)

Tried posting this up on the aus300zx forums but didnt get much help there, which has got me a little worried as i dont have a horn or cruise control right now:(. Problem: Well basically my horn/cruise control has stopped working completely. Ive noticed it will work on and off and now its not working at all. I first started noticing this problem when the cruise control would have a couklpe of seconds delay when activating into cruise mode, which at first i didnt think much of, but now the cruise control wont activate at all and i think its becuase the horn isnt earthing properly and it being all linked. It has been like this for a couple of weeks now and i havent …

Anyone know if the rims from wheelmania.co.uk is of good quality? Thinking of buying a set of 19" Monaco and 19" Jade R rims...

Anybody know of these people? http://www.mijperformance.com/index.html Have had a quote of around £400 for the exhaust so the price is reasonable. They are cutom made and fitted to the car for that as well. Any advice would be welcome. Darrell

Got the blue ZX booked in for this Friday afternoon, last outing it made 502 BHP at the fly so hoping for a bit more this time... as I have: 1) Replaced intake hoses that were leaking 2) Drastically improved the intake set-up!! 3) Eliminated a few boost leaks here and there 4) Removed the carbon cannister tank which was leaking 5) Removed the aircon 6) Quality Silkolene Pro S oil has gone in 7) Installed Splitfire coilpacks 8) New Iridium plugs I'm hoping it will make the 570 BHP that was acclaimed in Japan, time wil tell:) Ps will be taking a vid of the dyno session as it will have atleast 3/4 runs!!

hi guys a freind of mine has just brought a british spec t/t manual the torbo guage go striaght to 0 and dont move from that point it appears to boost cause you can feel it give you a boot in the back could someone help me many thanks:)

Hi all, I have just bought the Gt28rs turbo's for my new engine. I have been advised the following off another site has anyone heard of this before?? they are brilliant turbos for their size, i love mine. make sure you use the water cooling though. the GT series garrett turbos have a smaller than normal oil shaft so rely more on water cooling than oil cooling. i have heard stories of people just using the oil cooling and got away with it. but its simple enough to rig up the water cooling so may as well fit it. i just T'd into the heater pipes on my car.... makes for a toastie warm heater too Cheers
