I just got three auto meter ultra-lite gauges fitted - boost, water temp and oil pressure. The boost gauge is working fine. The water temp starts at around 80c when cold and goes up to 115c when hot. Surely this can't be correct as the gauge only goes up to 120c ? My stock gauge has never moved over the "just below halfway" point ! The oil pressure gauge goes up to 100psi, which is where the needle seems to be most of the time when driving - it drops to around 90psi when idling - not sure this is right either ? Any ideas would be appreciated !!

Hi evry1, Im on the look out for a 300zx twin turbo, uk spec. I was wandering what i should be lookin out for, possible problems etc. Grateful of any help.

Cars been running rough since having the pre-cats gutted. When you disconnect the drivers side o2 sensor the car runs much better but not perfect. I've done an ECU test on both sensors and they seem to check out ok. Any ideas anyone? Is the sensor fooked or am i barking up the wrong tree. (or am i just barking)

I heard a funny noise when driving. I loooked under the car and a plastic pannel has come lose at the back and is draging on the road. It's under the car, towards the front on the passesnger side. The front of the pannel is still attached to the car but the rear has come free. Any idea if it's all still there (or has part been lost) and how to fix it back in place? I can't see any obvious fastenings. Cheers chaps! Tim

do any of the traders have a problem with the way in which the PHNW matter was dealt with? As most of you are aware we had received complaints from the majority of the traders regarding PHNW's conduct on the forum. They were not removed from the forum, we simply did not ask for them to renew. Just so you know, any decisions are not taken lightly and PHNW was given right of reply. The aim of the forum has always been to provide a good service to its members, subsequently the traders reflect massively in the forums appearance. No trader has ever or will ever be removed for personal reasons, when we receive a number of complaints about a trader Mac always works t…
