Air con making a noise i think the bearings have gone inside can the belt be taken off for a while untill i can get the part or will it affect any other thing working. thank you.

Noticed my Z had started to puff a little blue smoke from the drivers side exhaust. I havent paniced yet as its due an oil change. Ive been reading past threads and come to the conclusion it may be the PCV valves. I read this off the Dallas doods: 'The PCV valve may fail in either a closed or open position, usually due to clogging with oil sludge or dirt. Failing in the open position causes hard starting and rough, low speed running. Failure in the closed position causes buildup of crankcase pressure, which can force engine oil past seals, gaskets and other openings in the crankcase. Most likely through the rear main seal, or blowing out the dipstick on the Z32. ' …

Hi All. Bit concerned at what can only be described as a 'hissing sound' when I put my foot on the gas. Also.. I'm running a chip and 12psi boost jets, but when I give it some, my standard gauge only registers at around 6psi! Even on the orginal gauge surely 12psi should be pushing the needle off the clock? Help!

Hi everyone!! Im really hopin someone comes through on this one for me so here goes!! I have oil leakin onto my cambelt, and when i told my local mechanic he first thought it was my cam seals, so happy days got these from Nissan for 20 notes, left in my Zed to be repaired, later to get a phone call tellin me that it was not my seals but my camshaft intake pulley, yet again off to nissan with my fingers crossed, s#*t load of good it did me, got a price of 550 quid :shock: :hurl: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So i was hopin one of u guys would have a good idea where to get one from at a cheaper price or even a second hand one!! Or even a second opion on the above cause …

G-reg, standard looking, red Zed outside Co Op Bank building in Salford.

Floore it from dead in the Auto TT today and it took about 8-9 secs to get to 60mph WTF :rolleyes: I thought my car wasnt so quick at the mo the boost seems to go round to 7 or just below Fuel MPG seems normal couldnt say Ive noticed any changes in anything mechanical but it dont seem so quick its standard apart from air filter, exhaust but its been fine with these on before it seemed to take so long to get through the gear and theres hardly any torque until high up the rev range chris :cry:

does anyone know how I keep that nice pearlescent gold shine to the wheel hub part of the brake disc because after about a month it goes all decayed looking? chris

This is a long shot but does anyone know where I can get a fill in panel for my tailgate? Prefferably the one with the brake light + someone who'd be willing to post? I've been in touch with Luke at the Zed centre but he won't post it via courier due to the fact that 30% end up getting broken in transit! I don't have the time to drive all the way to Nottingham either. I also rang Nissan with the part number but the part they showed was something totally different! :rolleyes: Cheers, Shaun

Hi - No matter how hard I stamp on my gas pedal, the light doesn't come on during kick-down (NA SWB) . When I manually select "power" the light is working so I guess it's not a bulb. I think the full power is there and available ...I just miss my little yellow warning light telling me a speeding fine is approaching.....any ideas?

please lead me to the supplier of this spoiler so I can throw some wonga at them! :rofl:

about 4:40 ...you turned before the doctors surgery

Yellow Zed going up London St from Oracle, Reading Was sat in barbers getting hair chopped and spotted it in the mirror going up the hill- cool!

I seem to have a oil leak , it seems high up i think it could be the rocker cover, how difficult of a job is this ? Is this a common leak on the Z ? Cheers Martin. :rolleyes:

Guys, I need new turbos, whos good for a supply and fit job? In Essex. Cheers, Dan.

Hi all, hope your making the most of the sun with the targas off (for those that have them anyway), does anyone out there know where I can get the above from for my alternator, a local auto electrician looked at my alternator and said they were both shagged but he can't do anything as he cant get the bits, I know others have had theirs repaired so they must be available somewhere. Cheers guys and girls ... :cool: :cool:

Guys, I know SE had to move cos of problems, but i now cant get them on the phone. Anyone got an updated number....need some turbo work done urgently!!! Dan.

I don't know how familiar you lot are with rust on your Zeds but I have a real problem area. Its were the rear bumper joins the rear wing on the drivers side. See the pic below. I wouldn't mind but it can't of been more than three months ago that I got it sorted the first time it went. After a clean and polish yesterday I have noticed some bubbling again:( I have spoken to the body shop who sorted it for me first time around and they say that there must be water getting in somewhere. I don't know where though seeing they waxoiled it all to stop it coming back. Any idea where the water is coming in to cause the rust? Thanks, Justin:)

had my zed in today, as it cut out yesterday night. and didnt start again, checked the starter motor, alternator etc. Mechanic said its the fueling?!? Ive put a new battery on from another car and it still does the same, not battery. any ideas as i dont want my auto electrician to spend hours trying to find the fault if its a simple one? she cranks over but doesnt want to start, whiteish smoke when it does start?

Can anyone confirm the correct wheel offset for the Z please?

Right, I know you guys are a resourceful lot - can anyone help me find a set of these for my Z from a UK dealer? I've tried Internet searches and ringing a couple of the main outlets - no luck :confused: I found them here : http://www.crutchfield.com/S-MLNgMHnr10I/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=400&I=1086402CFP - but dont want to order from abroad. Thanks for any help.

Woke up this morning to find a letter from the police saying that its been 28 days since they sent me a notice to prosicute and if i don't return the document within 7 days i will face going to court. The only problem is this is the first letter i've had from them, i've never had a notice of prosicution! Any ideas on what i should do? Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks.

Was wondering how much of a job this is as I've got a leaky nearside shock to do. Not got a haynes (or Chiltons) yet :?. Also anyone know what they cost and they cheapest place to order one?

J790 *** Yesterday afternoon. Jonmoore172?

Guys Does anyone know of a decent wheel sprayer in the midlands that can make my alloys the same colour as the pic attached? Anyone had any done before? M.
