Hi Guys, What part do I need to replace to remove the slack in the steering? Cheers Marc

99 Spec Rear lights 99 Spec spoiler Real nice, right near 'the duke' pub

any1 know of a list of good import companies in the uk, or just know a good one in your area?

...had a white nose panel, according to me dad :D

I’ve just measured my wheel width from the outside rim to outside rim, it comes up 10” dead, as the tyres are on this is the only way that I can measure, this brand (18” WOLFRACE, AsiaTec, TOKYO ) are either 9” or 10” so what is the width of my wheels 9” or 10”? Also, both the front and back have the same size wheel, is this OK? (Tyres: fronts 235 x 40, rears 265 x 35) Thanks David

How can you check o2 sensors are working properly? I dont have datascan or consult :rant:

Hi has any body heard of these or used them i just want to know the quality of them Mark :hyper: :hyper:

spotted a black z overtaking me at junc 25(?) of the m5 (taunton) at about 7.30 am on fri. twas a G reg and i was in the inside lane turning off. anyone on here? alex

Ok guys I have fitted some 19s with offset 20 These obviousely stick out a bit about 12 to 14 mm id say... beyond the wheel arch !! My immediate thought is to get the back of the hubs machined down. Has anyone any experience of this job ?? Is a no no or OK can do ?? Sorta the opposite of fitting spacers I guess !

I can't lock my Zed at the moment. The drivers lock just turns and it won't lock or lock the pax door either. When I shut the door, I now hear a rattle. Has the barrel now broken free? I tried to get the door card off earlier and had no joy.

I keep going in and out of safety boost on a ECU code 55. Ive changed the temp sender unit and it has made a bit of a difference as now it happens less often. Im changing the connector for it as well as its broken.Im sure it will be this but just in case it isnt the causre what else could cause safety boost with a code 55?And how can i resolve it?

Saw a Z or shall we call it a shell of a Z on the back of a truck today. Had a High rise spoiler on it. Anybody on here? I was in my Z!

Idle dropped of yesterday for no reason that i am aware of, it now sits at 500 to 650 ish. When started this morning there was no choke function, ie the revs went straight to 500, as the engine gets warmer the revs rise at idle to 650, no error codes, any help much appreciated as always, David

Coming thro the 'Rat Run' (short cut to the M1) at Westoning, at about 10.15am. I waved from the open top black RX7. You realy cheered me up cos I was off to a memorial service.

Dont see many around this neck of the woods.

Since there have been a couple of threads recently regarding ECU checks and the fault codes they throw up I thought I'd check mine. It came up with 42(fuel temp sensor) and 34 (detonation sensor), is this bad? I've not noticed any difference in performance or any untoward noises, does the ECU store codes and then need resetting in some way or do I have an expensive problem to fix?

where abouts is the indicator relay and fuse coz mine have packed up hazards still work so i wanna check those two before i try a stalk switch :hyper:

With my orginal ECU and standard chip, I clearly have an issue with the left-hand O2 sensor, as posted before it remains static, whereas the right-hand sensor oscillates as expected. Today I fitted one of Andy’s Map 2 chips into a spare ECU and the left-hand O2 sensor behaves correctly and I have a bit better performance (no boost jets fitted yet). I damaged the standard Chip in removing it so I’m not sure if it is the new ECU or Andy’s chip that is fixing the O2 reading, but I’d suspect the ECU. Update: I've now put the orginal ECU back and the left-hand O2 sensor in now working, but not within spec, as I have a replacement I'll change it and where what happen…

18`s 235/40`s what tyre pressure should be in them. cheers guy`s

Seen lower carpark at Castle Point near to B & Q. J45 *** (I think) with after market body kit.

Does anyone know a place where I can have my wheels re-chromed? Some of the finish is flaking off and I've been told that shot cleaning will 'pit' the surface of the alloys. I really dont wanna buy a new set of wheels if i can avoid it - all for the sake of some flaking. Any help much appreciated.

Hi. Just bought a copy of Nissan Datascan, and it shows a code 55 which is all good, but when I'm on the move the o2 sensor gauge tends to cycle up and down the gauge. Is this normal or is something not right? Rob

passing the stadium of light on the 28th, i was in my big red van, oh it was about 10.30

i've seen a couple of threads about this and i'm fairly sure i know the answer but need a prod in the right direction.the car smokes on tickover, or at lights, and i mean SMOKES.however when i put my foot down it's ok.i have read that it could be the pcv valves need replacing but if i replace these will i also need to replace anything else like the 'rear seal'? or,is it the seals on the turbos?what sort of cost am i looking at for any of these replacements? just one other question, could any of these be a reason for occasional misfire?
