Shall I mount the turbos on the manifold first and then put the manifold on the engine? Or should I put the manifold in the engine first and then put the turbos on? Any suggestions?

hi, does any body know a nissan that had the number plate " c8tys " im trying to get in touch please help!!!!!!!!!!

STrange occurrence, My 300 is a non start- 2 things went to change the A/c belt - took the pas pump belt off, put on the new a/c belt , refitted a slightly dodgy pas pump belt, went to start her up , no go and the pas belt let go. now no pas belt and no spark Any one got any ideas, she was running fine yesterday.

I've removed all the rubber hoses as I'm bypassing them all. Now it's all in bits I can't quite work out where the metal lines under the plenum go to. Can I remove them both? I think they are mainly water pipes but there's a couple of vacuum type ones there that I'm not sure if I can easily bypass. Chris.

How can this be carried out mines a little low at presant cheers Dave

Just got back from a 50-mile thrash through the countryside, got out the car and heard a fizzing leaking sound, as if a fluid was trying to escape through a tiny hole, coming from behind the nearside rear wheel. It slowed down after 5 mins, but when I rocked the back of the car it started up again. I'm worried :( Any ideas?

Red Z TT Northwich, Pullin out of B&Q on thursday bout 6 ish...... Was it U?

im about to fit a new viscous fan,to do this i need to remove the shroud surrounding the fan , ive removed the upper screw below the rad cap, the one on the left is directly below the upper water hose!im doing a collant change anyway so that can come off.Do u need to be under the car to sepparate the upper shroud from the lower,i know its a dickhead of a question but i think its clipped together hope u can help cheers greg :)

Well, just been up to get my aircon charged up after getting my second hand compressor fitted. Whole thing went really well. (cheers for the compressor Jock, it’s working a treat :) ) Unfortunately, as the guy was testing it he noticed the aircon fan didn’t come on. He waited until the pressure was nearly up to 300 (psi I guess??) to see if it was on a pressure switch but nowt happened. When should this come on? Should it work as soon as the aircon compressor is engaged? Is there a way to test it? Is there something simple like a fuse that might have blown?? Frustrating knowing that it all works but can’t risk using it!! Cheers David

Hi, I'm needing to replace my fuel pump, are there any recommendations as to what I should go for? Are any of the after market pumps better than the standard Nissan job? My 300 is standard apart from a JWT ECU and Apexi Boost Controller so no major fuel needs I guess. Thanks for you advice. John

Me new engine has these... :hyper: I've just read some terrible terrible things about the breather kit. What does it allow to breathe exactly? Does it just take some of the load off the PCVs? After reading the old threads I'm inclined to get shot of it - any thoughts? And is this a clue to who owned the red auto writeoff in question? (Cambelt change was done at C&S at 70odd K)

Where is the idle sensor/switch, does anyone know??? CheerZ

Hi I am going to view a Zed tomorrow and have been told that the following small problems require attention. 1. Air Con compressor is seized 2. Electric aerial doesn't extend/retract 3. Front bumper lightly scraped at bottom 4. Passenger mirror glass "drooping" How easy and what cost would the above work entail?? The car is a 1990, N/A, Targa Top, Manual with 52,000 miles on it. Imported 4 years ago with Full UK SH, Any other checks to carry out or things to look out for ????? Cheers
