This might sound like a really daft question, but since im new to this, you'll need to excuse me! I started up the zed this morning and as i was driving to work, the HICAS alert appeared. Can anyone let me into what it is? I get a bit worried about alerts that appear and i dinnae ken what they are!

as above i fitted my rear kybs yesterday, i thought it was a right dog of a job, having to take out almost all the boot trim just to get to two little nuts what a joke, then trying to get them back in, because of the spring compressors it was like the bloody kripton factor to manoever them about to refit them, why oh why isnt there a door in the trim to get at the top nuts??? needless to say there is on mine now the old jigsaw and abit of steel mesh, bloody japanese.

Long story..... ;) I was driving home along the High Street here in town this evening, and I saw a cop car across the entrance to a one way road. Now he was pointing out of this one way road, in the wrong direction, which was a bit naughty to start with, and I'm sure he would of booked anyone else doing it ;) Anyway, I thought I'd do the polite thing and let him out, so i flashed to him, but instead of pulling out, he motioned, with his hand, for me to continue past him anyway (ungrateful git!!) so I did, and as soon as i passed him he pulled out behind me, followed me past a car parked on the path ( a Ferrari 360) and then put his blue lights on!! He wanted me to pu…

Can anybody shed any light where this pipe goes to, or comes from ?? 89, T/T, Pipe comes from a small actuator type thingy up in the drivers side, rear of the engine bay, near the bulklhead. When engine is switched off it hisses for a good 5 secs and then dies. Engine appears to be a little uneven as well, connected ?? Gave the engine bay a wee clean up, so would assume I knocked it off perhaps. Alan...............

I am looking at the Demon Tweeks Anti-Roll Bars and they only come in a 27mm front adjustable not 32mm which I was looking for would there be much of a difference between the two sizes as far as road holding?? Or would the 27mm be fine? Cheers http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=WHIBDF1

At about 11 this morning on the A10 near Ely.

Only had a zed now for about 3 months and its my first, needless to say the car has me hooked, anyways i really want to start chasing big horsepower, so ive been puting the building blocks in place ie.. just making sure the car runs perfect as it should, right so i think forging the engine would be a good move yes, so what size piston do i need to get??? will it be relative to any liner wear i have??? or will 87.5 be the one to go for??? Cheers guys

I've got one of SE's HICAS eliminators to fit but there's a nut missing and after lots of searching I've worked out it's an M12 x1mm thread but I can't find one anywhere :confused: Found a few with a larger/coarser thread but not 1mm. Anyone got one knocking about?

Can anyone tell me what the scoop is with 265mm tyres on the rear of the 300zx? My one has ( i think) standard UK spec 16" alloys that are onlt 245mm wide, can i fit 265mm wheels straight on and is any modifiction required? Andy

Hi I have just purchased some ProSport gauges from SWZ. They are boost gauge, oil pressure, and water temperature. Do I need to get any other parts for the fitting. The instructions mention that there are additional parts available for the oil pressure and water temp gauge. (a sandwich plate I believe?) I presume these are to help with the fitting. Can the gauges be fitted without these parts, or is it recommended to get the other bits. If so, can anyone recommend a site to buy these from? And the car has a remote oil filter kit fitted. Will this cause any problems? Lastly, with the boost gauge, will having a boost controller already fitted cause any …

Hi, Anyone got any ideas why the standard brakes on my TT make quite a load clicking noise when the break pedel is pressed? Its coming from the front calipers (both sides). Nissan looked at them and said they are working fine but could not find what was causing it, NISSAN are a waste of space! Would be grateful for some help....... Paul

Or has anyone got the installation manual for a Clifford Matrix?-I've found a wire and need to know where it belongs!, Cheers. ;)
