Swb on Ebay advertised with alloy light weight panels......is there such a car??

where can i buy some new ones without having to buy a new blow off valve kit? i had a boost leak and found the end had blown out of one of the bung thingys that blocks off the re-circ valve so i took the valve off and replaced it with a 28mm copper stop end then the other side went so i did the same but i cant use them to replace the bungs on the bottom of the induction pipe due to the material the pipe is made of and the bungs are showing signs of perishing, if these go all together my engine will run lean so i need to find some asap! any ideas? i asked at the local plumbing gear suppliers nd they couldnt think of owt and told me to try halfords but i doubt they would se…

Hi, my car recently started pinking & i have owned the car for 2months. It is manual 300zx twin turbo ,1992 with bmark chip(?) to run upto 1.1BAR,full exhuast upgrade with de-cat pipes,blitz induction kit,boost jets running 0.9BAR. My problem is detonation,so i checked the timing & its was reading 15deg's & i have had to retard it to 9degrees to sort the pinking , does anyone know the cause of this problem as i have allready checked plugs,coils,ptu & cas connecitons. Could this be down to the bmark chip (no info found on web about it,had a look at the ecu & the chip is labeled Z32M.440) ,does anyone know about this chip or anything causi…

Hi. I am after an illuminated rear panel and was wondering how they work. Is it the light that is coloured, hence the inverter, or is it the panel that it shines through. How easy would it be to change the colour? Darrell

Hi all, i've just changed the autobox on the Z but didn't realise the battery had been re-connected the previous night to lock the car so when i've reconnected the starter motor i've touched the casing with the 13mm spanner while attaching the live causing it to arc. Now there is no power, what fuses should i be looking to check as i can't seem to find any blown. Many thanks in advance.

hi has any of you got a rear bumper for sale i have just taken mine off thinking i could get it mended and its f**ked, cheers

Good morning all, My crankshaft is damaged again (second time...) but this time i was lucky my rods are not damaged. The problem was that i didn't know how to choose the correct size of bearing. I'm not a mechanic, i just like modifying my engine and i pay what it cost to learn ;) So my question is about my crankshaft. I could go with a brand new one from nissan for 1080€ or make muine to be rebuild, re balance and lighten. What should i do? I would prefer going with a rebuilt and lighten as this will be an upgrade for the engine but don't know the back side of doing this.

Hi, thinking of some 2 fast 2 cool de cats inc elbows. Question is, my car, a '92 TT shorty, has a few plugs and things in the original exhaust pipes just about in line with the gearbox (manual). Do these need to be fitted or can I just junk them all, or some of them? Thanks,

Just received a phone call from Phil at Blackmoor Service Station , it was all silent, then I heard an engine start up. Woohoo its running. Still a few things to finish off, interior has to go in. Then get the alignment done, as part of the project had all the bushes done. Then run her in and then get it booked in on the Dyno for mapping on the AEM which should be here tomorrow (thanks Smithy) and then start driving her again. One happy chappy :) Will post some pics hopefully next week Barry

So got a full new set of shocks kyb, which i am yet to fit, i cant really afford to get some new springs till next month, can i run it on the stock springs with the new shocks, or will it be a waste of time, just wanna get her back on the road quick, as i'm missing …
