hey guys i checked my oil today and the dipstick was reading half full. I took the car to my mates garage we had a look underneath and it was a mess! not only was there oil there was a load of power steering fluid i think we sorted the p/s leak but the oil leak is another matter there is a little bit coming out of the rear crank seal but nothing major the sump gasket is a bit leaky but again not enough to make it lose that much oil in a month the main leak is coming from ??? i dont know but if you stand underneath the car and looked to the front the right hand side where the turbo is situated there is the heavy leak ,around there is a lot of oil on the wastegate but it lo…

Ive trolled through with the search button and cant find this anywhere. When adjusting your headlights is it 5m from a wall and your beam should be same height as headlights?

Hi, I've put my headlights back in today with chromed inserts and HID units but I've got a couple of problems. 1. They've started getting condensation, any ideas what I can do? 2. There is a difference in brightness between the left and right light, any ideas what would cause this. I've swapped over the ballasts and it's still the same. 3. Not sure if this is normal but with my ignition on and the light switch on first position, I get my side lamps on but alsy my passanger side dipped beam - is that right??? Cheers Vijay

In just got my car back from its first service since i bought it 3 months ago, according to the garage the previous owner had pulled off a vacuum pipe from the clutch (from the servo-assist) and bunged up the end... the garage has un-bunged it & put it back on & the clutch is now much lighter. Now for my question: Any guesses as for what reason the previous owner might have removed it? We can't figure out what improvement it would make? It just makes the clutch feel heavier.... :confused:

FLYWHEEL Hey guys, need to know where i can get a cheap fly wheel for my auto - manual conversion. i need this asap and dont really want to pay too much as i need to get conversion done as a matter of urgency really.

hi guys and girls its good to be back on the site its been a while. Anyway been after a zed since the summer but gave up as i couldnt find the right car, but was offered a swap for my Skyline (r32 gts which is for sale by the way) yesterday for a 94 non turbo auto jap import, completly standard in deep blue, havent seen the car yet but if i do go for a look is there anything you would recomend to look for ive checked out all the buyers guides and done lots of research on them from when looking in the summer but would value some advice from some actuall owners. cheers :smw:

shall i or shall i not??? chippy chop!!

Just spent all week fitting stuff to my Z, started her last night and was fine, went out today to tidy things up, and she wont start!! the fuel pump isn't coming on, i have checked the fuse and its fine... any ideas??

At the risk of being ridiculed... :slap: I have the opportunity of putting on a set of S14a wheels from a mate, as my tyres are almost worn down and I'll probably be in the market for a new set of rims in the new year and this would tide me over. Anyone got any pics so I can see what they look like?! :nelson: Mark

I get asked all the time "why do you advise against the use of 10w-60?". Let's get one thing clear, I supply 10w-60 and recommend it where it is appropriate for the engine or the application but conversly I caution against it's misuse! I have debated this many times on many car forums and I know there are some that do not agree with me however I have never had a reasonable technical explanation why 10w-60 is in fact suitable, it's certainly not mentioned in the handbooks of many modern highly tuned performance cars, with the exception of some Alfa Romeos for "spirited driving" whatever that is meant supposed mean. Explaining this is diffucult so there may…

Well last night it was snowing again, normally i dont mind driving in the snow that much so me and the lover went to the picture to see harry potter :D Now when we came out it seemed that most of the snow etc had gone, however On the a19 i went up to about 60 (roads were fine!!!) Im getting a vabration coming up through my seat :confused: i dont know what this could be, im thinking it could be something to do with the fact that my gear box is dead, does anyone know??? Anyway, i ended up doing quite slow because it seemed the back end was all over the place, i eventually end up doing 20mph or less and the back end still seemed all over the place, at that s…

Does anyone know if there is an uprated polyurethane mount for the auto gearbox ????

Whats the car size difference between the UK 2+2 and the import SWB?? Cause imports cost more to insure, the 2+2 might be the way to go. Thanks Mark

Have many of you manual owners changed the original nissan gear knob, if so which have you got? Also, steering wheels, prefer to be able to keep cruise control. Does any wheel fit? Thanks Barry.
