Just got back it was great to see everyone. I was nervous about letting my car go on the rack as it were but I'm pleased with the result. It was great to see so many (13) Zeds in the car park It was bloody nice following eveyone down to the pub afterwards for more banter. By the way who was I following only I nearly went into the back of you mmmm Note to oneself get those brakes seen too. Did you see the looks on face's as we all pulled into the pub LOL Hellraiser very nice to meet your dad by the way. Well worth the money and the Surrey Rolling Road guys were pure gold.

Hi guys, Another BOV question... Ive got some blitz bovs on hard pipes, I Dont want to take the recirc valves off but do i still need to bung the pipes on the recirc valves up or can i leave them as they are and bung up the small vacuum pipe ontop of the recirc? Cheers Rob

I've just fitted some very nice clear front indicator lights on my import Zed. I've fitted chrome indicator bulbs but can't figure out what the second (outside) bulb is for. On the moulding it states '12V 21W' for the bulb which is the same power that was in the 'old' lights, but I can't find any way for this bulb to light, either on the old lights or the new. I've tried every light switch I can find and tried them all with the ignition off and on but they still won't light. Can anyone tell me what these lights are for and how they can be switched on? Dave

who is going, its at the stadium of light at 2pm, its actually a jap northeast meet, but there are very little zeds that attend im going, and so is steve300zx (probably after another trophy lol) 1. StellaZ 2. Steve300zx

silver zed in mall near mine and a black zed parked up near market dropping mate off.

i think one of my cylinder heads is new or reconditioned. after i pulled the engine i noticed it is considerably newer than the other one. the camshafts are new aswell. why would this be and where would you get a reconditioned head from?

Who's this parked outside my house :D You got some friggin fancy wheels :hyper:

just bought some front discs 280mm and the're too small ,dont go far enough into the caliper so the pads over lap the edge of the disc. the old discs are 295 mm and fit the caliper perfect. the calipers look standard with no relocation kit.every one lists 280mm as the right size. is it possible for any of the skyline calipers to bolt straight on to accomatate a bigger disc?? any ideas?? thanks in advance

:nana2: Hi iv'e got the front bumper off my Z to repair it, i was just wondering what work/maintenance can be carried out with it off? cheers Jay

It's pretty light, but I want to know if there are any companies that can buff out scratches on polished alloy. Well, it'll need a bit more work than that. But I think I read somewhere that there's a few companies that'll come out to your car and carry out light repair work on wheels. Can anyone recommend anyone? Thanks

Is there any difference in master cylinders whether its for a manual or an automatic? Or do autos and manuals use the same master cylinder?

Remeber Spokey-Dokeys...? Colloured plastic things you fitted to the spokes on your push-bike that would slide up and down and make a racket as you went along.... I think they came free with a breakfast cerial or something... Well I had my reconditioned prop fitted yesterda. All the vibrations have gone :dance: but now it sounds like i have spokey-dokeys on. :rolleyes: The noise is consistent with road speed and sometimes goes away when you dip the clutch. Any ideas what it could be??

oil everywhere! hi everyone 1st message, new member! noticed oil coming out of area below cambelt covers. suspect it could be by crank pulley. havent stripped it down yet just looking for a bit of advice. could a oil seal have blown due to high oil pressure due to blocked psv valves i noticed white smoke coming out of my passenger zorst. abit comes out when you first accelerate on start up. it then happens when you boot it. but only a little. car is an import. 1990.if its worth replacing psv valves wheres the best place to go. also are uk spec oil seals the same as j spec. wheres the best place to get them QUICK! be gentle on me!!!!

but only on front tyres :slap: so bought some Falkens from thier website but they didn't have any 452 had to get ZE512's (are they any good ?) Anyway got them fitted yesterday and she passed with no problems. Only thing that worries me is the inside wear on the drivers side. The tread was ok (albeit illegal) but the reason she failed on that tyre is because it had strange wear on the inner edge with the wire banding showing :shock: . As you look at the tyre the outer adge was normal but the inner edge had worn sort of inwards. I couldn't take a picture as I didn't have me camera, I'll try and draw it on the PC as this crappy laptop doesn't have paint or anything. Anyway…

I know its short notice, but if anyone joining the Rolling Road day tomorrow has a spare targa bag could you please please bring it with you. I can cross your palm with gold if you do. Come and find me! Thanks.

Hope you fellow zeda's can help me , I have a 1988 uk spec z31 which doesnt want to go above 110 Mph ... Now im thinking does my car have a limiter as i believe jap imports were restricted to 112 mph without the delimiter that is available to buy.. But mines a uk spec ? has anyone heard of a uk spec car tha has a speed limiter on it ?? Because the delimeter chips you can buy are made for jap imports and not uk cars as the chip also converts the kph to mph reading aswell... as my car is a uk car it already reads mph .. So basically i need top know if uk cars are speed limited and if so what implications will i have putting a delimiter on without connecting the kph to mph …
