Took my tt in to a long established local Nissan dealer on Sat morning for an oil change, didn't get it back until 12.30 when they were closing. I noticed later when I got home, that they had damaged my front bumper, it had been damaged repaired before I got the car, but looked quite good still. I was going to get a different bumper/bodykit etc when funds allow. Now it looks awful, there is a big chunk of the surface missing and you can see the orangy white stuff underneath (it looks bit of a mess), which I was hoping to avoid before I got new stuff. What could I do about it, won't they just say the bumper had been damaged before and was weak in that spot? I expect they c…

Considering buying one of these. Anyone got one? Can you tell me if it will connect to the z with the standard leads supplied, will it work with a chipped ecu and what can be monitored with it? Will it display air/fuel mixture? Thanks, Ed

hi guys my cars going in for the auto/manual conversion in a couple of weeks,and i was thinking of putting a lightened flywheel on at the same time what do you think ,agood idea or not and are there any problems that can result from fitting one ,also proberbly will fit a set of unorthodox pulleys as well any views or advice ? thanks guys.

I've managed to over-tighten the rad bleed screw valve thingy and shear off the top. :( :slap: How the hell do I get the bottom bit out?! :confused: Obviously I don't want to do anything which would risk shedding debris into the coolant. The only thing I can think of is gluing a stick of some sort to the top and using that to twist it out. But knowing my luck I'll just glue the valve thread! :rolleyes: Or maybe carefully cutting the top with a sharp knife, then twisting out with a screw-driver? Bright ideas greatfully appreciated! :) Cheers, Mark

blue one today on coast road. white one yesterdat at hathersage. ey up, i was in the white one that flashed you. :dance:

Just took the zed out and I have noticed a fair bit of vibration above 50ish. I can't tell where it is coming from but the whole car shakes like mad!! I feel it through the steering wheel, the seat, the floor etc. I had 2 new tyres fitted recently so I think it could be balancing but does that not dissapear above 60ish? If it is prop bearing, how much am I looking at to fix? :mad:

Anyone have one or know where i can get one from please....am desperate :headvswal

I am looking for a Radiator to suit a JDM manual Twin Turbo - I need it by Wednesday at the latest as well to give me time to fit it ready for USC on Friday. Anyone? Cheers Alex.

Saw a red one next to brakenhurst college going towards southwell in the afternoon sometime. On the 29th july

Im having a few problems with my sound system, theres no sound!! Checked in the back and ive just noticed that the battery saver thing isnt working so it could be that im also trying to get the radio out so i can check all the connections, just my luck it doesnt just slide in and out. Ive taken the 2 top screws out near the air vents and the 2 above where the radio sits but the centre console still wont come out. Is there anymore screws hiding anywhere or do i have to be a bit more brutal with it and just pull? :( please reply asap, going to a cruise tonight and the car is really quite, its not good!!

Hi all, Just had me tubbs recon, whats the best way to be able to turn the engine over without it actually startin, so as to give the tubbs some oil before they go weeeeeeee!! Cheers. :)

I've been reading Blackmagic's conversion thread.. very useful. I told my mate in Japan to keep an eye out for a front/rear GTR brake set-up for me. Anything special I should be looking for?? R32, R33, R34.. differences?? What sort of cost should this set me back?? Anyone else interested if he finds a few sets? I'm bringing a car over so should be able to pack them in the boot (will take 2 months though!)

4 Days before USC and my water pump has packed up I think :mad: Unless I ask the local Nissan Dealership to do it for ££££'s I am up shit creak as I doubt any other place can take it and get it back to me by Thursday. I don't want to drive more than 2-3 miles anyway. Can the water pump be changed without removing the cambelt etc. I don't even have a crank pulley but could go and buy one now if the rest of the job was easy? What are the basics I need to change only the pump? Not a happy bunny at the moment :(
