Wife just got back from work in my Z. When she pulled up i went out to assist her parking as she was all over the shop. Anyway, noticed water dripping from under the car. had a look and it was too far forward to be the overflow, so popped bonnet and water was seeping out of the rad cap. I could hear bubbling from the plenum area too :(. Turned on ignition and the temp guage when right up just before the redline. Wife says thet car felt fine and she never noticed the temp guage rise untill she was parking it, which means it was probally boiling over for some time. She was stuck in trafic in the down center for some time in the heat with the air-con on and then when sh…

Hey men, I've a big play (from left to right) on my rear left wheel. 3 garage told me that it was the bearing but even after changing it, the play remain !!! Do you know what it can be? All looks good... Can it is the Hicas?

Im thinking of replacing the front calipers myself - and putting new vented grooved discs on at the same time. the front calipers have stainless braided pipes to them How easy is it to remove them and re-bleed them? Any tips? What sbest for pads too EBC Red Stuff (Ceramic) or green stuff. I was gonna get porterfields but I have heard they squeak badly.???? Cheers

Hi all Found this little gadget hanging down in front of the radiator. Its a small black plastic box A bit bigger than a pencil sharpener and it is attached by a wire to the canistor in the area in front of the radiators (drivers side). Anyone know what it is and where it is attached to normally. Also how do you post pics. Ive tried but it keeps telling me the file size is to large. Tried compressing, didnt help.

Okay guys and gals, gonna fit boost, oil pressure and water temp gauges soon so what are your views on pillar pods,radio slot panels or other type of gauge mounts. Am I right in saying that the pillar pod for a SWB is different than the 2+2 one.What have you fitted and was it a PITA

My neighbour just spotted a black zx with green 300zx lit up at the back, reversing by my house. was it u?

Just got a puncture in my 3000 mile old Goodyear F1s. It's near the centre of the tyre, a very sharp shard of metal has gone through. Easy fix for a tyre place? Hope so, don't fancy 100 squid outlay for a new one.

Any one know where I can see a diagram for the folding mirrors for a jap spec. I dont think any other market does the folding bit. Want to convert my UK to these. Mark

well got bored again today so i thought i would start doing something about the rest of the trim on the car. 1st tools of the trade, isopropyl alcohol(no you cant drink it) make sure its the non mineral type. 1 can of satin finish plasti-kote black paint. ok first i cleaned the trim down with the isopropyl, i did this several times to make sure all the crap was off, this took a little time. then i gently roughed the surface then cleaned with isopropyl again. then one powdered layer of paint, just to get a grip coat, waited for that to dry then gave it a base coat then another after 15 mins. after 3 coats they look new!!

After driving, car is up to temp then park up for an hour or so with engine off, start engine again and the boost controller (Profec b spec 2) indicates 13psi and the overboost alarm is sounding and car is not even moving. Rev engine a few times or drive away and the boost display returns to normal. Also the "LO" and "HI" somtimes flash. Any ideas?

any thoughts on what to check for this, as it wont work? :confused: on/off button on the console works but it just wont engage when you try to press the steering wheel control. any help appreciated guys! gaz

Has any person got some ideas on the best method to change the streeing wheel on the Zed to NICE NEW MOMO, but using a snap off kit and if poss can it be done retaining the Cruise+Hicas. If not , is there another way to sort this out. Thanks, Marcus :hyper:

How do these operate, there does not seem to be a switch for them. Do they operate when you use the screen wash? I've never seen them work and was considering removing them.

I've got trusty old manual seats but I've considered getting electric ones. Does anyone know if the wiring loom exists for them in a car without them or has anyone else done the same?

Had a near heart attack yesterday. I was stuck in start stop traffic for 30mins and the car in front stopped just as I was looking around (my fault I know!). I threw the anchor out the window but still made contact with his tow bar. AHHHAHHH NNNNOOOO!!!! Despite the sickening sound there was hardly any damage as the 99spec front flexibility took the impact. Just a small patch of cracked paint which hopefully will be a cheap sort out. Anyway my indicators stopped working of all things. Not the bulbs as the warning lights still flashed, my main beam still goes on and so does my main flash . 1hr later they worked again!!. Now the next day they've stopped again. Presuma…

ADMIN PLEASE CLOSE -> I have c*cked up here and shouldnt have posted this. Anyone who read this yesterday please ignore, the products i recieved from Smithy are correct and are how he explained and therefore this was posted in error. Apologies. Dan. ;)

:headvswal :headvswal Just got the zed back from the bodyshop, booked in to have it on show at Fast and Modified tomorrow and the ****er wont run now! I have to admit, i pretty fooked off. Anyhoos... Just started the car with no probs and after a few seconds the idle was bouncing from 1200 to 900. I try to rev the car and it keeps missing, then the revs are dropping right down to near zero. Anybody got any ideas what the fook is going on? I really need to get this sorted asap. Cheers Scott

Hi everyone, if there is anyone out there that has an NA with an aftermarker temperature guage fitted can you tell me what temperature you car runs at, mine goes to 150 fahrenheit which is about 65 celsius and I thought it should be a little more than that so just wanted to check with you guys, cheers, Richard.
