Guys, I need to change my custom back boxes as i cant put up with the drone inside the care any longer! :rant: The majority of my system is greg dupree, so was looking at completing it with their sebring backboxes (see pic). Just wondering if anyone else has had these fitted and if they have any photos as they look like they come out at a slight angle. cheers. Dan.

black zed in romford yesterday about 13.40.2 cars back, turned off before gallows corner.you might have seen me, i was in the silver zed with venom rear lights.

As above, whats the weight of a LWB 300ZX please?

Ok guys so I'm new to these forums. I have three problems: 1. i just replaced the master and slave cylinders and ever since i replaced them, everytime i push the clutch in, it makes a squeeky noise. 2. When I'm driving (especially at slow speeds) my car squeeks too!!!! but if i hold the brake pedal down just a bit to where the car wants to slow down, the noise stops. 3. my a/c compressor is locked up, when i replace it, what besides the reciever/drier should be replaced along with that? (anyone have any good experiences with aftermarket parts? and if so, which ones and where?) If any of you guys know, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

About 8pm ish tonight! I 'think' it had the Fiat light conversion on the back, i only got a very quick glance as i was looking the other way! Rich

My car only came with one key. Are most high street key cutters able to duplicate the key or do I need to buy a blank nissan one for them to cut?

there is going to be a lot of overheating issues when summer comes.so please make sure you have checked the car over correct coolant levels vital on these engines as they run so hot even worse in hotter weather,make sure you have enough coolant otherwise the inevitble will happen viscous fan,yes they do fail! so make sure yours is working fully,otherwise in long traffic with high temps,will also cause problems rad caps,again dont buy cheap imitation caps,these do not use the correct rating,and may also cause water to pressurise out the rad,OEM ones are best or speak to chris for a decent aftermarket one. radiators,koyo is by far best ;) and holds mor…

I was contacted by the police today regarding Fingers21 it seems he has been rather busy buying parts etc using someone else's identity The identity he has been using is as follows James Stokes The Coachhouse Ridgeway Cross Malvern Worcs WR13 5JJ so far he has managed to run up the best part of 18K's worth of debt and as you can imagine the police are rather anxious to get hold of him If any body has any info as to his where abouts it would be much appreciated Ryan

Evening folks, got a couple of fault codes from the box this evening, speed sensor and lock up solenoid. Ok i know where the speed sensor is so i can check the wiring and order a new one if need be, but the lock up solenoid, where is it? can it be tested? is it expensive to replace? and do either of these faults explain why my idle has dropped to around 600rpm and there is no "choke" function working on the car (on cold start the idle goes straight to 600 or the engine cuts out)? Thanks as always David

I've removed my engine today to change my turbos and injectors and I was wondering if I could remove the EGR and plug the different hoses? What this will change? Also, where can I find all the connecting part as nissan in France sell only the whole electric wire (2200€ :rant: ). I've some very bad plastic connection all over the car :mac1:

do the turbos need to be water feed or can i block off the water feed to the turbos ,and is there any benefit to doing this if it can be done?thanks for any help

Howdy guys. Just something I noticed that I have been unable to clarify. Q1. The turbo gauge on my car, ya know, the standard one, mine says -7 and +7, but I have seen pics of some cars with -14 and +14. Were there two models released, one maxin out at 7psi and the other 14psi :eek: Q2. Whats the psi boost limit on a standard Twin Turbo, and what can they be turned up to safely ? as I heard that for every 1psi its worth 10bhp :) Hope someone can clarify this for me. Thanks. Matt :)

hi guys i need to polybush the rear of my car, but I was advised that if I have this work done, there will be a small 'clunk' noise when the car takes off in 1st gear. does anyone have this problem? does anyone here know the cure for it? will nismo bushes avoid this? also if anyone can pinpoint which bushes individually cause this please let me know, as i might substitute those particular bushes for Nismo ones. Also, is it 'safe' or advisable to mix polybushes with nismo bushes? thanks darren

On the way to work this morning, my HICAS light suddenly came on and the steering became INCREDIBLY heavy, I pulled over opened the bonnet, and there is fluid all over the engine bay. Had a look in the PAS reservoir and it is empty, I have no idea about these things so any advice would be most welcome. Cheers Scotty

Hi guys, What has everyone done about declaring coilovers on the insurance. I have no problem declaring them as 'lowered suspension' but I have problems when declaring them as 'coilovers' Some insurance companies i.e. 'Admiral' took 2 days to find out whether they cover coilovers or not. It turned out that they dont! Is it best to declare them as adjustable suspension, lowered suspension or as coilovers and hope they know what you mean?

how much oil does the auto box require coz im changin my oil on saturday an wanna no how much i need to "liberate" from work lol :D

Bugger...i thought it would pass! It's failed on the left hicas joint so i now have 2 weeks to sort it. i'm thinking of putting an eliminator in, as it's disabled at the moment anyway. Does the eliminator totally remove all the hicas joints or just the rack? If its just the rack would i still need to get a new joint?? Thanks... Stuart.
