I seem to have a bad boost leak. I found a big one on the driver’s side intercooler which I have now replaced, but still only 4-5psi?? I have been round all the pipes in the engine bay but no joy. Just to make sure I'm doing the right thing. The way I'm doing it is by putting a plate over the MAF with a tyre valve in it and using an electric car pump to pump up the system. Any help would be much appreciated.. Cheers, Bart

Ok im alot closer to buying my Z now, just getting the cash together by the end of the month and im good. Unfortunatly this means having my first RWD car round mid december... Can these cars be used in nasty conditions? its a N/A manual, so no worrys bout auto box or turbos kicking in mid corner... The other thing is, How reliable are they? do they often break? I wouldnt imagine so being a jap car.. Also, Who was the guy who spoke to me about the garage WCS in Costessey Norwich? Pete

I've managed to get a clutch pedal and servo thing, but no luck with the vacuum tanks and piping. Does anyone know how this lot works, and do you actually need 2 vacuum tanks? And where do the one way valves fit. It all looks a bit complicated just to work one servo. I'm thinking I could just knock something up with just one tank and one valve?

I know mantaV8 has asked this in the past but had no luck, but anyway, does anyone know the piston diameters of the various clutch master cylinders? I've worked out I need a 3/4" bore.

I am just in the last stages of fitting the upper adjustable drivers side link arm when I find the powertrix adjustable link arm is just slightly wider than the third link it fits into as shown in the pics below. Did you guys who have fitted these some how open up the bracket slightly or file a bit of either the collets or the bracket?? I have read the brackets are handed but I have tried both ends of the link arms and neither fit in between the bracket?? Cheers in advance for any replies.

Has anyone fitted the shim kit ? reason I ask is I took the car into tyre firm to find out how far out the camber was and it was pretty even on both sides, too much positive camber. Fitted 2mm shims both sides, took car back to be checked/ tracking adjust and the camber was spot on for the left but a mile out on the right again too much positive camber. luckily they are a good bunch of lads and they don't charge for just checking so after a bit of banter they suggested taking the shim out of the right hand side, has anyone else had this problem with the shim kits ?
