What do you think about this engine noise? Not the whir of the tappets, but there is a slower more clunky tapping noise behind it (with a regular rhythm) Done my best to record it, you can hear the clunking quite well even with the bonnet closed. [video=youtube;sMJqy-vMw8c]

do you still get these? been 2 months since i registered and wanting my member number so i can get insured with adrian flux for discount

Hi to all the technical people that may be able to help...... I have sourced some Brand new Bosch O2 sensors that have the same Bosch number as the 5 that I have in the garage spares and on the car fitted...... I was trying to find out if the OEM ones were stamped up with Nissan part number or just the Bosch part number? The Bosch ones I have fitted to my Z and spare ones in the garage have A24-621 120 23070 on them....... Same number as the ones I can get hold of..... Would it make a difference if the Nissan logo wasn't on them??? These are not the universal style ones...... Cheers

Taking my front belts to this place tomorrow http://www.seatbeltservices.co.uk My driver's belt has been slow to retract for a while now and more recently, it lots in odd positions and now won't retract at all, so I have decided to have both belts' recoil and lock mechanisms refurbished so they should fly up like that of a new car! Anyone ever had this done before?

Since changing over the interior panels from S1 tweed to the alcantara I've noticed that the interior is squeaking a lot more than it used (enough that I actually notice it now). I't particularly loud when I'm carrying a passenger with the noise only seeming to come from that side of the car. From what I can tell it's a the contact points/joins at the back of the targa and at the base of the A-pillar. My first thoughts are that it's just rubbing between surfaces - is there any spray or such product that can be applied to reduce this squeaking that anyone is aware of or has used successfully? Thanks

Anyone know the right size jubilee clip / hose clamp for the air intake (where the MAF fits)? ID look at the car but I'm out at the minute. Be good to know the size of the other 2 (left and right) that the intake T pipe has. Thanks, Lee

Have a set of single pot rear Brembos from an R33 with disks (300mm). Question is are they going to be any real improvement over the OEM rears? or should I just look at D2 or K sport rears

Im thinking that 2.5 inch pipe work is better for the front mount im wanting. The inlets and outlets are 2.5" but the pipework reduces straght down two 2" with reduces with all kits on the market. So im thinking ill buy the intercooler on its own then buy some pipe work to fit. My question is should i buy three inch pipe with 3" to 2.5" couplers or what best size to get.or can i get 2.5" pipe and what size joiners will fit suggly over both pipes without air leaks.

Anyone know this car??

I am going to use this is a bit of a diary of this issue so I can keep track, as well as hopefully hear some thoughts.. Generally car runs beautifully with no issues, with an intermittent stalling/fuelling issue which I would like to keep an eye on Issue started 3 months ago. Stalled turning out of my road when I put the clutch down, and wouldnt' start again for a couple of mins. Then fine for another months. Second occurrence a month later - Motorway in 4th gear - Foot down to overtake and power cuts out completely. Put clutch in and engine stalls (traveling 60mph). Clutch back out to bump start engine again and all power was resumed. No issues there…

Had the MOT this morning and passed with a clean sheet! By far the smoothest and quickest MOT I've ever experienced! I wanted to express my huge thanks to AndrewG who has helped me more than he should have over the past few weeks and even gave me the recommendation for the garage today! I'll certainly be returning next year!

How can you test once you have bouht a pair of new turbos, that yhe actuators are set to the correct pound per square inch.psi. The reason fir me asking is i read an artical not so long ago, and they found on fitting checking new turbos prior to fitting. One was set at 5psi And the other one was at 9 psi. Need to check before install me thinks. And anyone who wants to come back with the reply. Dont buy cheap shiet. These write up was accross the board.

My import has a km to miles converter box fitted which sorts out the instruments, but I'm left with the power steering being really light. As its a series 4 I can't fit UK clocks because all the connectors are different, but I've had an idea and wondered if anybody could tell me if it'll work! The speedo converter was fitted before I got the car so I don't know how it's connected, but I assume there is a connector from it going to the speedo and to the ECU, to sort out the clocks and the speed limiter respectively. If I disconnect the converted output to the ECU and reconnect the original Km/h signal will that sort out the steering? I realise that would put the speed…
