here I am back to the orical! Ive got a noise on my car that only appears when it is very cold, it seems to come from the passenger side under the bonnet, its driving me potty! its a sort of air drill noise, or like like a knackered bearing on a drill, it speeds up the faster you go and gets really loud untill the car is warm. This is something not asociated with the engine, its as if there's a fan somewhere with a knackered bearing, but Ive changed the viscose bearing on the fan, but its still there, :headvswal it seems to be somewhere nearer to the passenger side. Any one have any ideas?

Hi, I pulled up behind you (in my silver Z- best colour IMHO - queue the colour wars!) after leaving the meet at the Boat Inn. You gave it large after J4 (M40), me in hot pursuit but had to back off at 110 because of a "perforated" intercooler :( and massive boost leak. Your car was bloody quick - what mods/boost are you running? I think we gave the guy in the new style Range Rover (chasing me ...) something to think about :) By the way, you had quite a lot of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust on full chat. Cheers mate!

After installing my OS giken 2twin plate clutch my car revs much much better since it comes with a lightened flywheel so i'm thinikng of installing a UR pulley also to gain the 8-10hp stated and at the sametime do a timing belt change. When they say that with the pulley all belts are included does that mean that also the timing belts are included???

I ve got a small problem since i ve converted my car into man. Every time i start the car the power lamp on the dash blinks.Did anyone have a similiar problem?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows what turbo's are fitted to the 300zx UK Manual TT. Are they garrett turbo's like T2's or T25's? If not, what are they? Does anyone know the model number for them? Thanks alot, Nis. (Dark Warrior's Bro)

Having given the Zed a good clean today I have noticed under all the dirt that some tosser has decided to make a few body mods to my car and pushed in the drivers side front wing very slightly :slap: . It is bugging me so badly that I have gotta get it sorted. I am guessing the cheapest way is to source a second hand wing in the same colour as my car and fit it. Just wanna know if its an easy job or not. Is it just a bolt off, bolt on jobby? Cheers guys, Justin.

Does anyone know of a link to removing headlights without removing the bumper? Gonna try painting the lamp inners body colour, any of you done it?

Hi! I'm fitting a set of braided brake lines tomorrow, and don't know what fluid the car had in it when I bought it. What fluid do you use now? (DOT 3 doesn't exist anymore...) DOT 4? Synthetic or not? Thanks!

Are these available as aftermarket items or is it a main dealer new cylinder jobbie?

Saw you driving towards the boat meet from the NEC......flashed you and waved, you might have thought 'nutter' as I was in my Rover Coupe.... Who was it?????? Matty.

Andy, do you have the slow rev patch installed on your JTW setup? I thought it was jut for keeping the idle smooth, but I think I have now experienced the problem it causes. ;) Have you installed the patch or did you find another way round it?

Does anyone have a boost leak detector i could borrow or buy.. spoke to Vijay and he cant get them anymore. Please...Please...Please...Please...Please...Please...Please... Help!!!! :o :confused: :o :confused: :o :confused: :o :confused: Cheers Bazza

Was out on Saturday and noticed strangness from my clutch, couldn't get the car into gear sometimes and biting really low. Was in Essex so limped over to see Ken at ZXS (A127) he said it was probably the rubber pipe had gone underneath. Got the car home and confirmed his theory, rubber pipe at bottom of engine bay connects the two hard pipe from master to slave had split and was spraying fluid upwards... do i need to source a replacement from Nissan UK :confused: or can anyone else advise me of an alternative solution :bow: Cheers Bazza
