Was behind you in a Impreza. :)

I know this is in the wrong section, but I was paid a visit by some local socially deprived individuals today, who I dare say didn't mean to do what they did to my car, but society has left them no choice. In short, I need a new tailgate window. If anyone has any going, then please do drop me a line. Am willing to take the whole tailgate if it is black, but given the looks and comments I am going to get at a certain nationwide glass centre, any colour will do! Thanks in advance. Phil.

Finally got rid of the horrible squeeky noise from the dashboard area. Its been there for over a year and has driven me up the wall. Turned out, it was the battery holder thingy. The pin at the back was too long and was rubbing underneath the plasticy bit at the bottom of the windscreen. The bottom bit of the pin was loose aswell and was rubbing against the bulkhead. Didnt even look loose. I just noticed it when i gave it a shake. Swapped the pins around, tightened it up correctly and the squeek has gone. :dance: Well pleased now!!!

Seen last night, blue interior neons, side graphics (possibly a dragon - didn't get a good look), extremely loud.

Hi just wanted to know if anyone could help me find a nismo exhaust system for my 300zx, i saw one on another 300zx recently and have been looking for one ever since, but havent been able to find one. i suspect that it was alredy fitted to it as it was an import but was hoping to find a web site of some discription to buy one. I would realy appreciate it if anyone can give me the name of a website or store where i can find one. cheers

I see there is a oil cooler mod to auto boxes for imports...is this just the case for turbo models or NA aswell? cheers :duffer:

Where can i get some paint that matches the stuff on the car? the paint code is 673 and its a 1992 Jap import. need to know what the colour is called too. Cheers guys

Anyone with an Oscilliscope fancy meeting up so I can get my ECU on it and try to see why my emulator address watch isn't working? Think the processor is 8MHz, but I'm guessing bus speed is less than that.

Hi guys, I've just had some work done on my Z and have found the clock doesnt work at all and neither do the retractable mirrors. Do these run off the same fuse? Or does their wiring both go through the centre console and somethings been dislodged? Thanks for any help. Dave.

I want change my current brake system. I'm hesitating between a brembo rotors and pads package or a Skyline GTR front brake system (calipers and rotors). Which gives the best improvement? Thanks. Stephane :dance:

Recently, holes have popped up on both my exhausts so its finally time for the full stainless. I know what style i want and i know where im going to get it but just needed to know one thing. Should i lose the middle boxes? Will it be too loud with them removed? I want it louder but not stupid loud. Want to emphasise the V6 sound. Cheers Scott

Hi all Have a greddy turbo timer installed, I preset my timer for 1min 30 (i often turn off before) when out tonight and pull up in sainsburys car park and took key out. The back lit display was in red instead of the normal blue?? I dont know why :rolleyes: Anybody any ideas? p.s. I was'nt driving hard beforehand!

try as i might i cant feed the hose through where the bonnet release cable hole is.used a knitting needle to pass through but cant locate where the hose would be coming out to any help,does it come out below the master brake cylinder or lower :rolleyes: secondly do i use the plastic nylon hose or should i use some after market silicone cheers for any advice :) greg has anyone fitted the gauges from the group buy of chris ie..water temp

Have got a Jap, SWB, NA, Manwell and between the rear wheel arches is a box with 2 speakers fitted in the top. Is this a standard fit item???? If it is standard fit can it be removed??? Also how easy is it to get to the reverse switch on the gearbox??

orchard road bout mid-day, couldn't wave cos was on a driving test :) nick

ok, came of m1 today onto a dualy, booted it in third (92 manual tt j spec)took her up to about 6250 - 6300 rpm and she seemed to loose a bit of power and splutter slightly, went on to around 6450 - 6500 and seemed to pick back up again on to 7000 odd, didn't dare go much further. Looked in rear view mirror and saw a small amout of brownish smoke, is she slightly chocked up with carbon :confused: I know she has a kph - mph convertor and delimiter but don't know if she's been chipped any ideas guys ?

Anyone knw how much these are / where to get them? Cheers, DAN :cool:

So just when I think I've managed to fix my coolant leak, I try to get under the bonnet to check the coolant level again before going out for a run to test it properly and the bonnet release just pulls out with no resistance at all. :mad: I've searched and it looks like the best thing to do is to see if the cable's broken under the dash or at the catch and hope it's under the dash. What's the easiest way to find that out? :confused: At least I have a JWT air filter, so if I have to come up from underneath, I have a chance of sorting it.

Anyone know how much this would cost? I heard if you leave the rear-wheel steering connected and want to lower the car this can cause probs....this right? Cheers, DAN :cool:

Here I go asking for a favour :rolleyes: I am having ongoing boost problems with the car and I was wondering if there are any members in the North West or anyone that is attending Trax that has access to Consult. I am getting code 55 on ECU but for some reason the car still isn't playing fair :mad: I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out :) :)

Hi Chaps Thanks to you all for the advise on my valuation. Now Can anyone help me find a solenoid for a Blitz Dual Solenoid Boost Controller, Ive got the control unit but no solenoid, I am told by amber performance that BLitz will not supply spares without a purchase receipt, the only receipt I have got is from the guy I bought it from and that obviously wont do. Any advise on where I could get one?

any "fitting a momo evo and boss for dummies walkthroughs" ive got the correct boss that retains the cruise and hicas, so was just wondering is it straight forward when i take the old one off? the instructions with the boss are in japanese :( don't want to find a nightmare once i start removing me old wheel, or as above is it just a straight forward replace the boss and wheel?? thanks :bow:

im just about to fit a new box in my z i have a brand new torque converter so how much gear box oil does it take and is it just normal aqf fluid or somthing special :bow:

Guys, I know this is a real lame newbie question but here goes!! What's the best way to drive an Auto TT?? What i mean is, after years of driving a Manual i've never owned an Auto before, and am wondering what you do with the one and two gears for best action. Cheers,

Someone wanted pics of how I'd reinforced mine after I bent it, so here you go. And before you say it Rich, no it's not F*****G BLING :mad: :D
