was browsing my jocal jap club website and found an advertisement for a modified s15 silvia. i commented to the girlfriend how nice it was and she said we couldnt afford to buy it as it was about 11k. i said well we could sell the Z :x: she nearly took my head off and said we are never selling the Z. :dance:

could someone (andyduff) guide me through removing the passenger engine mount in situ as i had a look at it this morning and thought WOW thats tight, looks like theres no way to get to the top bolt? what has to be removed? thanks guys.

my zed doesnt like to accelerate above 3500 rpm when cold, it will actually do it, but coughs and splutters and seems to be chocking up, it gets a bit better when warm but then sometimes when im sitting in traffic the revs slowy start to creep up to 2000 rpm, a quick blip of the throttle usualy sorts it out there is a time when the engine is warming that the car runs perfect, it pulls like a train doesnt miss, doesnt backfire and feels correct ive also noticed that if i drive home from work, it doesnt run correcttly for most of the way home, but if i switch off and leave it for a bit (maybe an hour) it runs much better if i g back out in it, im assuming that i m…

Hi guys (& girls), Is there anyone who may be able to lend me the actual control unit for the Profec B spec II? I have already tested the system with a known EBC solenoid but this did not cure the problem. I need to test the actuall control unit I have for strange behaviour before I can rule it out as the cause of the boost problem. Thanks in advance. Mike...

Where's the best place to get one of these plastic clips that fit behind the barrel of the drivers door lock. I imagine its quite a common problem as the one on my spare doors was broken also. I take it they are only worth pennies but does MJP do them or would it be Nissan?

any ideas how to remove the main beam bulb- how does plastic connector release- and any other tips after that! Thanks

Well ater my car was collected from SWZ, due to them making it worse than before it went in and before work was carried out to rectify by Zedworld, the old thing had a MOT to check what was wrong and failed on 48 points. Wow never knew you could have that many failure points lol. There are also about 10 other things that need to be rectified.

Hi guys I will be taking the Z for a trip to the famous Nurburgring end of march so i gotta do a dam good service on it so i thought a nice new set of shiny spark plugs wouldnt go a miss but im not sure which flavour to go for.

Cheers guys, Sharky

Has anyone got one of these going spare?

Hi guys, just a quick question. I think I have 2 warped disks on the front of my zed, and was wondering 1) where you would go to get replacements and 2) how easy they are to fit.
