Ok guys my second topic of the day already. Me and my mate have been busy trying to diagnose a problem I've been having with my car and we've finally nailed it down this morning by swapping the wheels over. It seems that one of my alloys is in dire need of a refurb. Its making a cracking noise (its a split rim) I need this done asap as I am planning on making a long journey just after the middle of the month. What I am thinking is that what I could really do with is another set of wheels to put on the car while I send the current wheels away for reconditioning so that I can still meet my MOT appointment. If anyone has a set of wheels that they could lend me…

Hi Im hopefully buying a SWB N/A manual tonight but Im having a bit of a prob with insurance Im 23 and have just sold my Megabusa which cost me 500 quid to insure and now they want something like £1500 for a V6 which is worth about £3k as much as I think the Z is gorgeous I find insurance a bit of a joke No one will do classic because either its an import or because of age has anyone got any help Ive tried a lot of companies now Flux were the best I think its a bit of mockery to themselves really theyll insure young lads On bike engine cars for peanuts but they want this much for the Z thanks chris

Parked on a driveway in farlington?

Has anyone got it?

On removal of my aftermarket wheels i noticed i have no spigot rings although there is an obvious gap between the bore of the wheel and the "mounting boss" on the hub. I was wondering do i need them or is it best to have them? If so what size would i need? It is a JDM '90 twin turbo if that makes any difference. Cheers guys.

Right, Ive fitted both the PTU and the CAS that Smithy kindly sent me and it still wont start!!!!!?????? Has ANYBODY got any other ideas what this may be rather than me taking the car to Nissan to get bumped off? There is definatly no spark at the plugs so what else could that be? Car just lost power,misfired and came to a stop. Am getting desperate as its my daily driver and ive been without for 2 weeks now so any suggestions greatly accepted on this Jase

Just picked up my latest zed last night and was spotted on tower bridge by a member (cool). I need to get the spoiler replaced or refurbed. I also need the windscreen pillars replacing inside and out, I need the wheels redoing desperately (ruining the car) and finally I need the bumpers respraying. Any one in N E Lincs who can do any of these would be great but I can travel North up to Teesside way if there's someone in Leeds etc. Cheers.

very nice UK red Z :) 'K' reg going north over tower bridge, 8.05 last night, Wed 9th August

Does anyone know of anything that can remove the leftover tacky glue from when a sticker has been removed from the rear window. Can't use a scraper as there is risk of damaging the heated window element so need to know of something I can safely use without damaging any paintwork as just had boot re-sprayed. Hints needed urgently, want this fitted or the weekend. Also, how hard is it to remove the glass from the rear window? Are they glued in?

Whilst fitting my time delay relay for the interior light i had to modify mr nissans connector but am now wondering if it was the right thing to do. The 2 door switches and the boot switch are all wired to a connector in the passenger side rear 1/4. They then go via a set of diodes into the interior light relay. My new relay just wouldnt trigger with the diodes in place, but as soon as i removed them it triggered fine. Ive removed the diodes and all seemed well, but it got me thinking, why did mr nissan fit them? Ive started to wonder if its an attempt to stop an earth leak through the relay. My gcse electronics is failing me now and im concerned th…

can insurance companies tell if you have points or disqualifications on your driving license? i didnt think they could but a friend of mine tried to insure his car and he was told by the woman on the phone that he had a driving ban which he hadnt declared

My speedo is still in Kmh at the moment, and I also have a Defi Sports head up display that does speed in Kmh only! I think the car has been de-limited as I can go off the clock. There are 2 things I don't understand, 1/ Why was the car not converted from Kmh to Mph, I thought this was always done when de-limiting? 2/ How come my Defi gives a completely different Kmh reading to that of my speedo, it seems well down?
