Over winter I installed brand new camber arms and coilovers and I am having an issue with the near side rear being extremely noisy. Everytime the suspension travels the car/suspension creaks. I jacked it up last night and double checked everything was tight and equal on both sides, it was. Last night after I checked I drove about 15 miles and the rear was silent. Tonight though the creaking is back. I am guessing as the springs hadn't settled there was less stress? Apart from actually raising the back of the car should loosening the tension of the coil help?? Many thanks Dan

Can anyone show me what the inside of the left pod housing looks like please, I'm missing a bracket. Cheers

Been on with this a while now and here's where I'm at Bear in mind that I have changed the clutch on a different zed a few times and previously had new slave cylinder and master cylinder less thank 10k ago in a different zed. Bought a auto and want to turn into a manual Put pedal in and adjusted to the correct position The system was bled using the correct procedure including the nipple near the hicas, no luck soft pedal and slave only comes out a small amount 10/12 mm. Made a one piece line straight from master to slave and filled from bottom using oil can, no luck soft pedal and slave only comes out a small amount 10/12 mm as before with no real pressure on…

I would like to take a mechanical oil pressure reading from the car. The unreliable stock gauge is being, well, unreliable. Oil pressure is indicated as just a shade off naff all. The connection was damaged during engine removal so although I've got a spare functional pressure gauge I thought if there's an appropriate location then a mechanical test would give a quick and reliable yes or no answer. Ideas? I know there's a blank on the oil tree...

As any one got one laying around thay could measure please, I need the size and length of bolts and the distance between them. Thanks for your help

at last i have new intercoolers there well made a pretty big i have to day to the stock ones just need injectors now

Never noticed this before, but when driving to work this morning with side lights on only, the projector lights were on! By the time I arrived at work they had gone off leaving only the side lights eluminated. Normally, as I understand it, they would only activate on the second position of the switch and when on low beam. Does this setup have daylight detection? (say via the sun load sensor?) Or do I have an electrical gremlin? Confused.

So, saw it recently and enjoyed it despite the paradoxes...I cant say I've really been bothered by Terminator movies since T2, but this one did it for me, it felt like old times. But anyway...did anyone else spot the 270z getting totalled during the 80's scene? I'm sure they could have chosen something less rare. Could have been a 240, but it was brief and I've only seen the movie one.

Those pics you wanted

I want to have a custom exhaust fabricated so that its tucked up nicely and doesn't scrape along the floor like my current setup, any well known exhaust specialists in the London area that can do this or anyone in here? Also if anyone has used 3inch systems let me know, money waiting ££££

A question! First thing I did on my Import was to convert KPH to MPH. Would/does this mess with the A/T regards gear changing at higher engine revs or less smooth changes? Ive always kept mine on the HOLD button because my A/T works really smooth in this mode. Just a thought, but might be a dum Q! Art

I got 20 ltrs of this stuff! So enough for 5 oil changes. Also I went to KAP in Folkestone & asked for a new sump washer & didn't charge me!:thumbup1: Please don't tell me it's no good! Cos its in my engine now!!

hi strange question I know but is Noz still trading and mapping - I have tried emails, texts, phone and voicemail and private messages on here but never get a response - this is over a 3-4 weeks period - if not can anyone recommend someone else fro the re-mapping - I seem to get conflicting information regarding mapping expectations from some companies so bit confused to say the least now kind regards dave

I'm busy changing out my fuel pump as it finally died (i think). Anyway, I got one of th AEM ones the noz was selling. I'm just wondering how you actually fit it in situ. So the normal pump has the rubber round it that fits into the brackets. The aftermarket one doesn't. So how do you secure it?

With reference to my last post ( rough idle when cold) I checked the temperature sensor plugs and replaced as they were badly corroded unfortunately that has not sorted the problem. I know my coil pack plugs are in a bad way but I have checked them all and cleaned them and made sure there connections are tight. I still have the problem the car runs fine after about 5 minutes of driving. I have adjusted the TPS to the correct voltage using a guide on here and I have reset the ecu for the adjustment as it states in the guide. This is where it gets odd I started her this morning sounded like she wasnt running on all cylinders so I pulled each coil pack to notice the …

Whilst doing an oil change I came across this! Can someone tell me what the wires are & what they are supposed to be attached too. Thanks

The driver's side under dash vent was missing (not factory installed) on my UK car and I'm pretty sure it is not on imports either (possibly only early 89 cars). The vent installs below the steering wheel on the lower trim and when not present normally has a plastic cover in its place. The part itself is NLA from Nissan (part #68905-51E02) and mine came from a breaker in the States which a fellow Z32 owner sent over to me - thank you. The install just involves cutting the ducting where the raised section is with a sharp knife and fixing a small piece of foam on the back of the panel to provide a seal when the panel is back in place. The vent is adju…

I will be travelling to Beaulieu via the M25 and M3 and could stop at the Cobham services (between J9 and J10 M25) if there are any others who would like to convoy down to the event and plan to go that way round the M25. It's about 1 hour 20 mins (80 miles) from the Cobham services to the Tesco's meeting up point for 8am to 8:30am, so I will be at Cobham at 6:30am for 6:45am departure.
