ok it was a 325 estate, but the fact that i made him move over from the outside lane a a good speed made me feel good inside. its called getting your own back for when the bastards pick on me in my little clio during the week.

I am looking for new rear tyres very soon :mad: and I have come across these Toyos. Are they any good? I havent heard anything bad about them, but the price is very very cheap for them I think. Even cheaper than the budget ones. Stuart

Today on the East Lancs. I had been testing my car as when we did a load of work on it, the exhaust wasnt connected very well so we too it off today and put some paste on it to stop it leaking. I took it for a test drive as the heat from the exhuast will set the paste. The car sounded a lot better and acutally drove better too. I was on the Lancs as that is a nice safe legal place to open her up. At some lights and a Scooby pulled along side and I thought, "I bet he tries it on". I press my launch button and got my foot ready on the accelerator. The lights going accross the road went to red so it was only a few seconds before ours went to green and I heard his…

Anyone tell me where the ABS actuator is as I can't find the thing. Bled all 4 corners and master cylinder but still pretty spongy. Got a 1991 Uk model. I remember someone mentioning behind the passenger seat but I can't find the bloody thing!!!! Cheers!! Andrew

Can someone please tell me what reading(s) i should get from the TPS when tested on or off the car.... I think i am correct in saying i should get a steady arc of resistance from 0 to about 5000 ohms, in which case mine is knackered.

Hi All, Having recently purchased a Jap Import K reg Auto Twin Turbo Fairlady Z I decided to fit an Apexi Power Intake Filter. Unfortunately when I offered up the filter to the air flow sensor the bolt pattern did'nt match. After re-drilling a couple of holes I got the filter on, however when I took her for a test drive all was well on " normal " driving but when I put my foot down the revs just died, foot off the gas revs came back, foot down revs died. I was not able to solve this problem and had to put the stock air box back on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Phil.

Hi all, I've just replaced my buggered radio aerial and motor today (thanks AndyZ :D) and it now goes up and down an' everything! Trouble is - the radio STILL doesn't work :( :rolleyes: . The connections are fine both ends but no reception, not even close. What could be wrong? Thanks Pete

I just got my front wheels balanced because I had slight vibs around 85ish. It was muchg worse after balancing with real steering shake like buckled wheels at 65. Figured it was done wrong. So then I went to my local big wheels people to get it re done right with diagonals balanced accross the rim as well. Once again shakes and vibration on braking which was never there before. Figured that maybe it had to do with air wrench tightening of wheel nuts and all the copaslip the guy painted the threads with. Half way into a long journey cruising fast I stopped, slackened off the nuts, and re tightened them by hand evenly doing it opposite nut next kind of thing. The …

You got mail cheerzzzz;)

Having taken my car apart over the past few days in an atttempt to change the water pump, i am now at the stage shown in the pic below technically refered to as the "ooh **** what the hell have i got myself into" stage. Anyway i'm still unsure what has caused my leak but im doing the little hoses, thermostat and water pump. Many thanks to Macca, Andy Duff, TonyC and mtl who hav helped me get this far!!! but now a couple of questions. 1. Where are the engine coolant drains as i cant find em, have found a scetchy pic in the manual which didnt really help much. 2. How far should a fully working thermostat open when you put it in boiling water? 3. and…

I just installed a nice new Greddy fuel pressure gauge and just wondering are these results ok? idle; around 2.5bar, WOT; 4bar. Is that within spec?

Hey guys, It's been a while since I was last on the forum but thought it high time to let you all know that as of 2pm tomorrow (Sunday 25th) I will have the provervial "ball-n-chain" fitted! :D All kidding aside - I will be marrying the most wonderful girl who, after some persuasion and a couple of drinks, sees the logic of me spending bucket loads of cash on my Zed! Can't ask for anything more really. The getaway car will, of course, be the Zed so now I'm praying to every God to make sure nothing happens to it between now and tomorrow. At the rate I'm going with all the last minute things that need sorting out I'll be washing and polishing the car in the middle of t…

According to a jap mag i have read the standard suspension on the 300zx is adjustable, hard and soft, and the way of changin it between settings is by usin...and wait 4it....the handbrake!! ive got the service maual for the zx and seems 2b true as the hanbrake cable is connected 2 'rear shock absorber actuators' which somehow can change the stiffness of the shocks. now what the jap mag or my service manual dont tell me is how to change the damn things, ie switch between both settings. This is prob new 2most of u as nissan seemed 2keep this quiet 4sum reason. neway.. Does anyone know how to change between the hard/soft settings ?? :confused:
