On saturday I did a small run in my car (about 4 miles) to try my new ecu chip. When I got back home I noticed that the car dropped about a cup of water on the drive whilst I opened the garage door. When in the garage I realised the engine sounded really rattley on the top end so I switched it off (temperature gauge still on normal though). It made quite a lot of gurgling and hissing sounds around the balance bar area, the leak continued for a short while. I topped up the radiator (it needed lots to top up), and decided to leave it to cool down before I looked for the fault. Yesterday I went into the garage to start investigations and it looked like the leak had co…

was it you?

...can I use the same oil that goes in the gearbox for the diff. I've just changed the gearbox oil and bought 4 litres (£10 a litre) as it (officially) takes 3.1 litres - and it does - so I've got £9's worth of Millers oil remaining and if it can be used in the diff I'll be pleased - otherwise it sits on the shelf forever...

Morning people, Please read the link http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=59355 I've not had the time nor the money to look at this yet being crimbo, getting married in 6 months and skint. However, something else happend this morning. I pulled out of a junction from a stand still and turned right onto a damp(ish) road with almost zero throttle. It felt like the near side front wheel sort of tucked slightly under the car (if you know what I mean) a the rear came straight out propper drifting stylye doing probably no more than 10mph :eek: Also the car seems to track badly down white lines and joins in the tarmac, seems to do it worse on t…

How heavy are Z32 Doors with Glass intact? Can the Doors be removed without an Assistant? :D

Got a Momo Race, and if you just fit the wheel it has 6 countersunk holes for 6 presumably countersunk hex screws. But. . . This momo comes with a ring thats not countersunk?? So do I just fit the ring over and not worry about the countersunk holes on the steering wheel? Little worried coz I thought that if I fit the ring and not use the countersunk holes there could be some play and under bad conditions could even be play and crack screws??? If that makes any sense.

Im due to have some wheels delivered but the guy organising delivery needs to no estimated weight of one alloy wheel and tyre, help!!!!

My ZX seems to love getting dirty quickly, well it is winter. I want to get a powerwasher with enough poke to clean and remove a bit of crap from around the wheels. Are the Halfords ones any good or where else could i get one. :hyper:

I'm thinking of doing a top end rebuild due to a tapping sound from the left bank rear. I was hoping to do this without pulling the lump. Has anyone done a top end rebuild in situe, if so what are the pitfalls.

OK, new alternator fitted for just over a week and then the other day I got this continuous squeeling from the engine bay. Lifted the bonnet and it was definately a belt slipping but couldn't determine which one. I'm pretty sure the belt was good and tight when I fitted it and I used the old belt (it seemed in good nick) so there shouldn't be any stretch. Having thought about it, I think it manifested itself when I hit the demist (and hence the air con kicked in). Since then, there's been no noise but some faint burning smell from the front after a drive. The air con still works and the pulley clutch seems to kick in but it does have a slight wobble in the pu…
