You seemed to be spending more time looking after your z than maintaining the jets that are keeping this country safe :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I have recently had the front suspension changed to the original shocks with lowered eibach springs. The ride is now very good however it seems to make a squidgy noise which it didnt before on the old setup. When you look in the engine bay on the top of the shock mounts there is the bit that sticks out. Well, when I bounce the car this moves up and down a little which Ive been reliably informed it should not do, It should be solid! The guys who fitted this suspension at a local garage needed to order extra bits from nissan to fit it. Those parts are as follows :- 0122500231 - nut hex -------------x5 089123401A - nut hex -------------x2 5611733p20 - …

If anybody has any pictures of where they mounted their ballast units for H.I.D lighting please can you post a couple of pics, it would be gratefully appreiciated. ;) Thanks in advance. I know people say under the light, behind the light etc, but The passenger side light seems more restricted on space than the other :confused: So pics will be GREAT.

I need some help !!! decided (after a couple scares in past week due to ice) to put ma 300zx in the garage for the winter (and hopefully leave it till the good weather comes back) however keep hearing different opinions. Some people have told me put a cover over it, disconnect battery+fuel pump and leave it. Other people say that doing the above is bad for it, and i should keep battery connected and just go and run it for 10 mins once a week. Does anyone else put theres off the road during winter and if so what do you advise? Thanks :headvswal

who says i should win award for biggest cuunt of the year, and smithy i fully expect you to be first in line voting for me,

my car is finding it hard to accelorate UNDER 2500 rpm, which is strange cause if its a maf prob its usually the other way round once past 2500 it springs into life and runs ok also there is a hissing noise (not continouse but every couple of seconds you get a sharp hiss) its coming from the back of the engine where the battery is any ideas on what that could be

I have today picked up a N/A gearbox to replace my TT box, now the bellhousing has to be swoped over to accomadate the larger tt flywheel. Also the N/A speed sensor has to be swoped over as the signal pulse of a N/A sensor is different to allow for the different ratios of the diff. Today I took the N/A sensor out of the N/A box only to find that the diameter of the pinnion gear is not the same as the TT version, so working on logic I will have to use a TT sensor but with a N/A pinnion gear. But if the diameter of the pinnion gear is different so must the drive gear in the box, is this going to give a faulse reading on the speddo head Food for thought …

Hi All, A lot of you have probably read my previous thread about the encounter I had with a foreign body on the A14. Fortunately not too much damage done: just need a new wheel a tyre for the back on the drivers side. However, after this my ABS light came on as I also mentioned. At the time I thought this was probably related, but it actually turns out that it was just the ABS pump relay that had stuck in the on position (initially we had thought this was the fuel pump)... so the pump just kept going and flattened the battery overnight. Nice. Well I need to take the car to the garage for the damage assessment, so I get out my jump leads, knock on my neig…
