.......at my flat tonight? I'm sure it was!

Saw you buy the traffic lights by O'neils. Exchanged nods...Are you on this site ?

Have just tried the TPS adjustment. Put the paperclip in the middle wire on the connector on the side and got 0.0125 volts. Put it in the middle wire on the one that comes out the bottom and got 9.52v from the plug! Am I doing it wrong - please advise. P.s. could someine write up an FAQ on this? Ivan

Hi all just had the fibreglass replica spoiler fitted (usual story - OE one like a sodden sponge :rolleyes: ) However I seem to have lost the 2 bits of trim that fill the void between the tail-gate and the top of the rear lights (either side of that "gap" under the brakelight where you should insert your hands to lift the boot...... Is this part of the OE spoiler or can I buy them separately? Thanks Richard :)

Hi all Just bought a 3rd brake light to fit on my UK Zed (Cheers, AndyZ :cool: ) and have a couple of questions...... 1) do the UK cars have the wiring in the tailgate ready to accept the plug from the brake light? 2) what bulbs do they take? rear cover of lights says 13w but Halfords :rolleyes: and local motor factors stock the capless bulbs in 10w, 16w or 21w...... Thanks Richard :)

Having sifted through the advice section, its great to see so many suggestions of possible causes of problems, but the biggest lack of information is what finally cured the thing. Please if you get a result and someones advice pays off, post it on the end of the thread so others who may be experiencing the same circumstances have a chance of a fix without going through all the agro of following every piece of advice until they get the same result that you got by doing the same thing, could save a lot of wasted time and effort. I do like to get to know the ins and outs of my car but results would make it so much easier sometimes. Ta very much.

started off as a mis fire and now she wont start, iv checked all the coils and connections but still no joy, so i did a spark test to find that there is no spark, what does this mean?

After seeing another thread about a "fuel pump that sounds like a wasp" im a bit worried if mine aint gonna get me ta Billing! Should it buzz, mines not loud but it makes a lot more noise than my Audi's and the pitch varies too :( Also ive heard that if the fuel pressure aint right it could bugger a piston :eek: am i worrying too much or should i change it? :confused:

Hi does anyone know if it's possible to put electric seats from the LWB into a SWB. What additional wiring would be required - is it just a 12v feed to the seat or is there more to it than that??? Also if anyone has tweed seats in a lightish blue that they don't need then I know a man who could make use of them................. Cheers

Finally got round to bleeding the clutch at the weekend but I'm having problems getting the car into gear. This is a manual conversion and I haven't got the car running yet. Should I be able to put it in all the gears when the engine is off? I can't get 5th or reverse and some of the others are a bit hit and miss. The box worked fine off the car. Clutch pedal still feels really spongy and only stiffens up when fully pressed.

Im interested in buying some but obviously i dont want to get the wrong type ! Thanks for any help

As above, anyone have a copy please? Cheeres

I'm planning on buying a 300 in the near future but am a bit worried about buying a car that is over ten years old. I know the old s13 200sx's are getting quite rusty aroung the tailgates etc, so where should I be looking specifically on the 300. Thanks for any advice :dance:

I was wondering if it's possible to fit brakes from other performance vehicles - such as Porsche, BMW etc ? Would it involve much work ? Mark

Has any of you creative modify chaps got any ideas about the black stuff they put over this chrome trim and what can be done to either get rid of it (without scratching it) or get it resealed? All the cars ive been looking at you are beginning to see the chrome underneath and it looks messy... Any ideas? Cheers, Rob

hi my cars been stood for one and half year it starts fine but i think turbos arent working need some help come on guys :cry: :cry: :cry:

One of the two connectors on the IAA unit - the white one. Wiggle wiggle wiggle CLICK HISS lovely smooth idle, wiggle it some more CLICK hissing stops engine really struggles. The reason I thought I might have dodgy connections elsewhere is because there are two coil pack connectors and the TPS connector all in the same outer casing - so if I wiggle any of those it actually wiggles this white connector! Is this the AAC connector or is that the yellow one? Don't think it's owt to do with FICD because I have similar probs whether A/C turned on or off. None of those hoses are cracked or split - just took them all off for a good look-see whilst they were wa…
