Idle when coasting in neutral sticks at 2k and then slowly drops back to 1k. Is this a serious problem I should get on top of before something nasty happens? First Zed owner here so worrying a little :)

I just cant get to the 2 bolts at the top of the auto tranny - any ideas. Im with the car at the mo but just stuck as to how to undo those poxy bolts. \Cheers Marc

... for the lift yesterday so that paul could sit at home and not miss his daily episode of crossroads! :D what a nightmare journey... i was up that morning @ 7... i left to get to pauls @ 10:30am and arrived about 14:30... then 4 1/2 on the bus with a change at heathrow, i got home at about 20:15 where kaz was supposed to pick me up outside the terminal... and even though we practically live next door to the terminal she forgot where it was :headvswal ... she found me at about 20:30 when i had to start work... worked until 7 this morning with a major, unexpected snag on an easyjet which involved munchos hard work... bugger! fooked! nevertheless, im sure…

Good luck with 'the JOB' paul... look forward to getting my mobile kettle back with slightly less good tea making facilities! :confused: from the water that leaked when i left it idling for a few minutes onto the driveway (which i didnt notice until i got home) its left a nice lovely oily stain on the drive... looks like the water might have had a wee bit of oil in it! i hope the million mile trip didnt cook the old girl too much as it sounded like it had nearly fook all water left in it by the time i got there! the water leak appears to be more serious then first expected... keep me posted on your findings, especially once you have done the leak down test for the…

Hello, sorry for this question but these upper arms seem to be causing me problems. Not sure what make these arms are got them from a guy from over ebay( came from z centre) has the purchase order in box.They look very much like the spl ones they have the blue lock collars and the bearing ends are blue. Any way when the lock collars are slack the movement in the arms were the thread goes into the shaft is a hell of alot, well i dont think there should be that much play anyway. had a look at the spl fitment guide and it says the shft should allign with the centre of the arch mounting, well mine dont to be honest they are of centre which ever way you have them, have bared t…

This past Saturday. Saw (heard) you driving past the house in the morning then saw you and your passenger looking at my car on the drive in the afternoon. Studley, Warks. Looked like a J-spec TT, auto (by the sound of it) and with "funny" rear lights (no offence intended, just don't know how else to describe them)

they've not even bloody looked at it. Every day its "it'll be up on the ramp tomorrow" He's saying he cant see an oil leek where its sitting. Plonker!! i told him what might be wrong with it. Its not going to leek oil through a pressure hose whilst switched off is it!!!!!!!!! I reall need it this weekend. they've had it since last tuesday. As i said before i've only done 800 miles in it and its gone back as its under warrenty. Bloody good job i can use the tube to get to work!!! Don't think they have a clue about Z's either, just scratch thier balls and kick the tyres... Rant over :rant: :rant: :rant:

i have my rears dying in rust been quoted £800 for putting new arches on and spraying the bits thaty need spraying but i thought it would be cheaper so any ideas?? all i know is that 1: they have to be replaced as they are quite bad 2: no way am i selling her 3: i really would prefer the majority of car being sprayed not just the new bits also anyone know of good company that can retrim seats as i could do with freshening mine up!

i have a water leak its right at the top of the engine on the same side as the battery at first i thought it was te matrix pipes but its on the other side of the engine and its only squirting out a little bit and aint usin much water and it only does it for about 2 minutes then stops competely till the next day does anyone have any ideas on the pipes that sit at the top on the passanger side cos its startin to p**s me off now :smw:

I seem to have a noise (a bit like a dull tin can rattling sound, or maybe a bit like water with air in it trying to get through a pipe). It seems to be coming from under the plastic trim (exterior) where the wipers are, under the windscreen, both sides. This seems to be the only place you can really here it, if you put your ear up to this trim! Any help really appreciated guys. I have only just noticed it, so am not sure if it has always been there!

How many times can they be re-used/Compressed?? Is it ok to use them if the Viton coating gets scratches or nicks too?

According to my datascan results the timing seems well advanced its reading 25 at idle also, the rpm is 1000 I recently had a manual conversion, if this is relevant ? I thought is was supposed to be about 15 please advise

I hope as many of you as possible will join me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday! :duffer: Thanks everybody, Leanne

Hey! I need to get in touch with Richard (SuffolkZX) regarding his NA hardpipe kit order. I have sent him several PM's (which have not been read) yet I can see he's been online several times since I sent the messages :confused: Richard, if you're reading this, can you please get in touch regarding your order mate - it's been ready to go for a while now. To anyone else who may have an alternative method of contacting him - can you please ask him to contact me asap. Many thanks! Dan

I know a lot of people on here have mixed views on this car and for those. I didn't really think much of them when I first saw them. But have seen the odd modded one about and the look is starting to grow on me. I've never really gotten on with the stubby stying of the 350Z. Find that the G35 to which the car is loosely based on, is a more attractive shape. Rear end looks quite a bit better. Anyway, found some piccies of some nice ones. Saw one on the motorway a few weeks and ago think it has a lot more road presence than the 350Z. Just a shame it was badged as the 'Skyline' as everyone instantly tries to compare it to the R34, to which it has nothing to do…

Need some advice. I'm looking for some new turbo's, thinking of getting some Garrett BB turbo's. However, before I make any decisions and start saving, what would be the advice of those in the know. Also are there any places where pre-loved turbos can be purchased?
