Hello, I am in need of some knowledge on the size of, and type of pipework used in the hicas lines that run from the front (under passenger footwell) to the rear hicas saftey valve block. It looks to be of a steel type below the rust and leaking fluid on mine, but someone out there will hopefully know for sure. Cookie

Hi guys i was wondering if you could help me with a problem that is not for a 300zx,i know it's a bit of a cheak but my son has a 200sx and it slightly overheated the other day due to him fitting a greddy breather tank wrongly thus mucking up the circulation ,anyway steam was coming out of the expansion tant right next to his blitz induction filter,now the car will not fire up,iv'e checked that fuel is getting past the filter,and iv'e checked that there is a spark at the plugs,could the steam have mucked up the maf,thus screwing with the fueling?any ideas would be much appriciated,i was going to buy a second hand maf and try that but wondered if you had any thoughts cheer…

Can you believe this, I got a quote from the local Nissan dealership for an oil and filter change. Took it down today to be done, just looked at the invoice properly, and realised that they have changed the oil (Motul 300v Chrono 5w 40), and NOT changed the filter!!!! I thought I would just give them another go (they damaged my bumper last oil change, although it had already been damaged before I got car, so I left that). Have you EVER heard of anyone changing oil in a car like this, and NOT the filter, I just can't believe it!?! They charged me a little less than quoted, and I wondered why when I collected the car, just thought nothing of it, because I would not have tho…

I would like advice on dump valves if possible. I've seen various Z's claiming they have Blitz dump valves fitted. When I spoke to Blitz on the phone I was informed that they do not do a particular dump valve for the Z, only a universal one. I have been told that if I get a unversal one it would need a bracket and some welding would need to be involved. As I know diddly squat about welding I was wondering how big a job this would be. Price quoted for the universal dump valve was £220. Can anyone confirm if they have had the universal dump valve fitted or whether it's a blitz dump valve from a different model car. The only dump valve I can find for t…

I have a set of these alloys : http://www.ne.jp/asahi/z32/na/images2/foot.jpg and would like to have them refurbed. In order to do this I will need to remove the 40ish lugs around the inside lip.
