:confused: :confused: Sorry people, I understand if you're getting cheesed off with this question again. I need a prop shaft centre bearing and I can get part numbers for a TT 1990-1996,(37521-Z32TT) and the NA 1992-1996. (37521-Z32NA) Mine is a Jap Import, Auto 1990 NA....not 1992!!! Does anyone KNOW what is the correct part? Chris Davies

How long do these normally last on skyline brakes? Only done about 2000miles and mine are nearly done! Have to say after using them for a while I'm not massively impressed. Felt great to start with but never really bedded in like I would expect. Pedal feel never firmed up and they fade really badly after some hard use. They are easy to modulate but just don't inspire confidence because of the soft feel.

Front end of the car has been feeling a bit crap recently, diving around a bit under braking and wandering. No play was obvious on the wheels so I stripped the suspension to parts and found it's the rose-joint on the end of the SE tie rods I've got. You can't feel any movement at all when the suspension's together but there's about 1mm when it's loose!! Anyone got SE's number so I can order some more? Cheers

Need your advice ASAP guys. I`ll try cut a long story short. I was driving to Kebab shop when i noticed a white cloud coming from my engine bay. I checked the temp Guage and it was above the middle (that is it was starting to get hot). I pulled over and lifted the hood to a huge white cloud and lots of hissing. Waited for everything to cool down and opened the radiator cap. On opening the cap there was a small gush of water and then a huge gush of steam. Anyway, after waiting longer i managed to fill the radiator with over 3 litres of water. I drove for a mile and stoppped. looked under the car and there was dripping of what i guess is water. I managed to fill the ra…

hi! i'm a bit of a newbie to the zed scene, n i'm considering gettin myself my 1st tt in the next couple of months. is it possible to get a non import tt of a reasonable age (say '92 onwards) as insurance on an import i'm assuming would be a lot higher. any advice on the subject would be most appreciated! dik

Hi all ... I drive a N/A Zed .. but I can't find my turbos .. where are they? and how long will my spark plugs last? ... just changed them thanks ... monkey ...

I've found two pipe's wiv T connector's in them at the back of my engine :eek: . followed them to the other end's and found one set goes to the T piece above the turbo actuator's and the other pair go to either side on the hard pipe just before the throttle body's. I have some pipe maps which Mike at MJP kindly sent me but the exploded view does show clearly what goes from where to where :confused: I think the pipe from the turbo actuator should go to the hard pipe which goes the throttle body's is this right.have been told that someone has done a cheap boost upgrade :slap: :nono:. not so cheap when you got to replace an engine. :( but hope it anit got to that stage.

Hi all Just sorting some bits on the zed today I noticed this pipe which had rubbed in two on the tyre due to no wheel arch liner being on. I fixed it but can anyone identify what it is? :) And what effect would a break in it would have? It runs from a small unit (pictured) down by the intercooler (driv side), over the wheel arch and up into the engine bay amongst the mass of pipes by the small fuse box I think. Cheers :bow: Pete

Anyone know which models nissan fitted this engine to (4.5l V8) Looks like it might fit into a Z, in which case I think I might give it a go.

I'm about to fit a speedo convertor to my series 2 speedo cluster but the wiring diagram I've got is for the older series 1 clocks. Does anybody know where I'm supposed stick the wires? Ta, Graham.

hi everyone just joined this forum and need some advice please i have an 89-90 h plate last of the z31 turbo models does any of the z32 brake discs front an rear fit my car without any mods needed also on the z31s is there a differance between the clutches on the turbo and non turbo models cheers ian d

Still not sure if this has gone, started her up and she was running ok then gave her abit of throttle and then she starts idleing funny again, ive checked the connections on the coilpacks and all seems ok, ive now blown 2 rads in 3months, im doing my manual converstion soon, shall i buy another rad til then? at least i can give her a proper run and then il hopefully find out if the head gasket has gone. all very confusing. anyone with any ideas as what to do? Cheerz Paul

can you convert a na to a turbo ? is it expensive ? the na i ahve is low miles and the enine is sweet so i do not want to sell and then get a turbo model, would rather change this car as i know its quirks. any advise cheers matt

:o

:shock:

ive been told that mu z will perform better normal driving if i turn the overdrive off ? is this true and i am going to need a petrol tanker if i drive around with it switched of all the time (except motorways) :cool:

............But for how long!?! :x: After a month of probs she is finally sorted (hopefully)! Just to recap, she cut off on me one night when i put me foot down and just didn't start up again..... eventually got her into the local garage and five days later she is running again. the prob seemed to be the fuel pump management thingy that's found (in a LWB) under the rear seats passenger side, (thanks again Chunk and Andy Duff) all it was was a bad connector that needed to be taken apart and bits tightend then hey presto! So should be at the next meet Darkside! :duffer:

Just looking at some rims that are 35m offset and multi stud fitment 19's - will they go straight on my Z?

I'm thinking of buying another Z for day to day use, but mostly driving at night. I'm worried about having to keep replacing all the bulbs in the instrument panel. Can anyone tell me how long the bulbs will last. Where will I get them from and how much? I thank you......

My clutch has started slipping and feels light as anything - is it time to get a new un ?? Its lighter than my Pug 106 clutch - that cant be right surely

Just took all my induction pipes off - and if you look from the fron of the car - the right hand side intake has 3 rubber hoses attached 1 massive one 1 smaller one And one tiny one i removed them all only to get called away for an hour, and when i came back to the job - forgot where i was. The problem is, under the right throttle body there is a tube for a tiny pipe to attach to, also, ont the induction pipe there is a tube for a tiny pipe to attach to - unfortunatly i can only find one tiny pipe coming from near the air filter !!! Is this supposed to go to the throttle body or the induction pipe ? And is there another one about - only i cant fi…

For the last few days I have had to top up rad, no sign where it was going, now I have wet feet in the footwell? could this be the heater matrix or leaky hose conn. If so, I think there is a quick by pass fix untill I can get a replacement, can someone advise what to do. And has anyone got a heater matrix for sale? Any help or input appreciated. Just replaced rad and that looks OK. Sa la vie :( :( Cheers

Anyone know how to get em out without stripping down the entire front end. Did a search but didnt find what I wanted. (did see one talking about 4 retaining bolts from under but cant get to the back ones) Thanx.

Hello Danny Did you ever resolve this one?. Cheers

How much would these tyres cost (roughly)...
