Hey there guys :) Ok, if any of your read my post a few months back, i wanted to get a PS2 installed wid a screen. I'm looking at buying the Alpine screen today the 710 one which is going for 250 pounds. I plan to get this fixed above my Alpine headunit where the fan vents are. Thus cutting away those vents. I plan to get this done by a car audio place. This needing to be customized anyone got any ideas on how much it cud cost? Worse comes to worse i'll jus velcro it onto the fan vents until i raise the cash. I'm gona chuck my PS2 in the boot and buy the wireless controllers. Any1 know of any good mulitplayer games for it at the moment? I'm thinking of getting Tekken 5,…

Hi Anybody got a part no. for these please. Mark

Just drove back from the shops on the dual carridgeway, put my foot to the floor and the acceleration seemed wavy. i.e its wasnt smooth but slightly fluctuated, could see the rev counter jump up a little every sec rather than a smooth movement and you could hear the sounds of the exhaust slightly dipping in sound every sec too. Im thinking its due to boost controller and boost leak, so the boost pressure drops slightly but the controller keeps topping it up? Any idea's?

when I fitted my ebc disc pads to the rear. I had to obviously back of the hand brake with the little cog, so I started doing it and then it just got really tight and the cog went a cm up clicked and come down again.. so now Ive lost my handbrake on the one side... doubt I could have snapped the handbrake so what have I done wrong... please :rofl:

Has anyone got the wireing for the stock electric aerial (dash end) on my 91 jap. It has an after market head unit and wirea have been choped, but I think they are all still there.. I have two wires at the back and guess that one is + and pne is - they both go back into the loom and there is no earth to the body at this point. Thanks Chris...

howdy peeps, got a bit of a problem! dropped a mate off at stanstead airport yesterday afternoon, started overheating about 7 or 8 miles before i got there. by the time i arrived it was making a rattling noise and smoking some. when it finally cooled it wouldnt start, very juddery when turning over and the water smelt of oil. gonna go back when i can get hold of my mates trailer and get it home - if it is head gasket, (pretty sure it is), what parts will i need to replace (gather ill need lots of gaskets and stuff for the plenum??), and is there anything else i should be doing at the same time??? i can leave it in a barn at the top of t…

When cold the car sometimes starts off idling at 2k which I'd say ain't normal, so when you change gear at low revs the revs jump up when you press the clutch.....goes away after a few mins. Any ideas guys? Ta.

Was having a look at the arse end of my zed and was just thinking.....wonder if a Laguna rear wiper would make it look a tad more modern....what do you think? Reckon it would look right on it?

My gearstick has a lot of play in it. I'm guessing there is a bush somewhere thats worn out or missing. Can they be done with the 'box in situ?

I had an email via ebay today : He goes and buys a cheapo generic kit then expects free instructions which I've spent time and money to design! :headvswal Ebay is good for selling stuff but the amount of fookwits continually asking stupid questions pisses me off.

Having a slight hard time deciding what I should do her on the rear. So I thought I'll throw it up to you guys! Should I get the 99 spec spoiler or should I use that money to get something else... like maybe some gauges or a boost control...!? Now get voting!

Anyone dealt with or heard about them? I've heard some scary stories about a Supra they worked on. I was considering them for a custom exhaust.

Hi guys and gals, my AC temp readout always says - 86 i think its the ambient temp. Anyway fitted another fan thingy in the pod in roof cause i didnt have one hoping it would sort it. Any idea if and where any other sensors are or any idea what the problem is. cheers bubbles

Help, while I fitting the nearside headlight panel the bolt popped off and conveniently jumped into the radiator! What are the chances of that, but I had the cap off to fit the panel. Anyway, what problems are a loose bolt and both the washes with it going to cause me? :headvswal

Fitted 2 baileys dump valve y'day, sounding sweet but was wanting to move them out from under the headlights (where the old circ' valve were) so that people can see them when bonnet is up - is it just a case of running a longer hose from the valves+would it make the noise quieter if the hose is longer, has any1 done this?

I got a 300zx TT on tuesday gone. Everything was fine and dandy and I was feeling uber driving my new 300+ bhp beast. That was until about 10 minutes after I got it out of the dealer and she wouldnt start. Long story short... Very tempremental with starting. And when im at a standstill in drive, and go to pull away, she stutters and tries to cut out. Sometimes she cuts out, other time she holds in their and flies off. Any ideas what the problem might be? I'm trying to find a decent service centre in the hertfordshire region, but no luck. Anyone know of any? Cheers

Anybody have a picture of this colour or a link to a car with it. It's a colour I'm considering for ny Z and want to see what it looks like.

If anyone has used Tesco's new 99 ron fuel, please could you give me any feedback... Regards, Matt

Does anybody have an Autobox with Smooth Gearchanges? Im on my 3rd box and 1st to 2nd jerks into gear and sometime 2nd to 3rd drags like ive hit the brakes. It just seems every box i have is crap, ive never felt a decent gearchange in my car since the day i had it. I know the 1st box was faulty as it lost 2nd gear, but the last box which i thought was faulty was just as smooth as my current one albeit the current one chages gear on the limit very well. Its just slow driving and my gearbox doent get on. If i rant the *****x of it its fine.

Mite be a daft question but does any1 know where the speed sensor is+is it easy to get to and change?

Good morning people. I have recently replaced my HICAS rack complete with arms as mine had play in them and had all 4 wheels aligned. Anyway, last night was the first time I had driven her in the wet since doing this. I went home the normal way and came to a steady left hand corner. I was doing around 25 mph (usually much faster in the dry). Anyway, I slowly increased my speed in 3rd gear to just over 30 mph, then, all of a sudden, out came the rear, I mean proper opposite lock to correct from going down the road sideways. Surprised me a bit but kept her under control. Went out later in the night and came back the same way. Experimented again, started at 25 and incre…
