i've just bought Petey099's swb manual, and although it beens modified to a certain degree, i'm wanting to make it my own.......if that makes sense! I was looking to first uprate the intercoolers.......and possibly change the suspension. I know that both of these are not gonna effect the power of it, but they're getting changed for piece of mind and to support future mods! Anyway, my question is...... Is there anywhere that will take your car, you tell them what u want done to it.........and they'll get it to that spec?? I'm assuming that to reach 500bhp (at the wheels) it's gonna need a full rebuild with uprated internals and a completely different se…

But not from us this time! We get asked many oil related questions every day and decided to put some of the most frequently asked ones to an Oil Expert called John Rowland. He has been the Chief R&D Chemist for Fuchs/Silkolene for many years and previously developed ahead of their time ester based oils for the RR Jet industry. What he doesn’t know about oil is not worth knowing in our opinion! Even though some of these topics may have been covered before here, this post is well worth reading. 1) How is an oil manufactured; transformed from the black sludge that comes out of the ground, into the nectar-like substance we pour into our cars and bikes? …

Does anyone know if andy is away or something, I have contacted him a few times, he is helping me trying to get my Z back on the road, just not heard anything from him since 17th Sept.

Car is a 1992 N/A Jap Import. Imported in 2003, now got 59K on the clock (miles). My question is, I am driving to blackpool tomorrow from nottingham (120 miles) and obviously back again. I am looking to change the cam belt but need to know, do Jap folk generally look after their motors as I do not know if it has been changed or not? What are the chances that it has been, being an import?

Hi all, I have noticed a small leak today, it appears to be directly under the Sump / Oil Filter. There is a small pool of oil (approx 20x15cm) and I did not see any drip drip drip while looking. Noticed it at about 14:30 today, its been parked at work since 10:00 following a 30 mile motorway trip in stop start traffic. Anyone got some wisdom to throw on this (and yes the oil filter and sump plug are tightly screwed in) Cheers

As stated in a previous thread, my turbo's may/maynot be dying. With this in mind, I'm going to have to start saving. Anyone got any recommendations on turbo upgrades, manufacturers, models etc..... I may even change the cams, pistons etc... so any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Paul

We all know that the MAF we have does not like water, but the position of most number plates on imports allows water in through the top vent on the bumper straight onto the MAF! Have got to admit the no plate position on the UK car, stop this occuring, so maybe contributes to UK cars rumoured improved relaibility?

i have owned my 300zx for over a year now and have sometimes come# on here to look around but this is the first time i have posted. i drove a bit less than 200 miles up to yorkshire on monday and the car was fine. i let it cool down before the end of my journey. When i went to the car in the morning which was parked in a multi-story it was ok and i made my way down to the exit. While i was looking for my ticket by the ticket machine i looked round at the car and loads of smoke was billowing out of the drivers side exhaust. That had never happened before and i needed to get to a meeting so i carried on my short journey hoping it would clear up. It didnt really a…
