Well, the guy i was planning on buying the Z from is messing around, I called him today to get him to meet me at the dealer for a checkout on the car (me paying for of course), he tells me that he wont go there until i've got the money in my hand to buy the car. Which means i'd have to sell my car, forget that bull. Apparently he's trying to hide something from me. "Oh, but you can buy a new car in a day easy"...forget that, not selling my perfectly good car for something that i dont know about. Freakin idjits. ast

Anybody chipped an N/A. Is it worth it? How much? What sort of benefits do you get if do or even if you can?

By which I mean the "Lights" warning light on the dash - mine is on all the time, and has been since I got the car (SWB NA). The previous owner told me it was a "turn your lights on because it's getting dark" warning with a dodgy sensor (hmm), & I thought it might just be a duff bulb. But I've since replaced the headlight bulbs with J-specs, and all the other lights seem to work fine. So, any ideas? Today's spate of Hicas topics has got me nervous - I don't have Hicas, so what light will come on to warn me of low PAS fluid levels, etc? The "Lights" light??

My HICAS light comes on occasionally, and goes out when I top up the level. However I do have a leak somewhere in the system as I have to top it up nearly every month. Most of the time it is fine, but every now and then I will pull up at traffic lights to find smoke billowing out from under the car!:eek: At first I thought it was a buggered transmission, but I'm sure its from the power steering system as the auto box fluid level never changes, only the P/S. I have checked all around the P/S resevoir but can find no leaks, but it must be leaking somewhere near the exhaust because of all the smoke. As I say, this only happens occasionally (usually after I've…

Hello guys, I'm putting together a new pc with an AMD Athlon xp2200 processor. The only thing is, when the machine boots it recognises the processor as Athlon xp1500+ ???????????? The only options I have in the bios to change frequency/voltage are: clock speed spectrum - disabled cpu/mem/agps's freq - 100/200/66 cpu clock ratio - default cpu voltage adjust - default I think these should be changed to: cpu/mem/agps's freq - 133/200/66 or 133/266/66 cpu clock ratio - 12.5 Any ideas - I don't want to screw anything up :( Cheers Vijay

I have Windows XP home edition and I find the networking terrible. There are 3 computers in the house all have 100mb network cards going though a 100mb Switch. On Win2000 and Win98 I timed at copying files over the network at about 4mb a second depending on file sizes. 1 50mb file would copy faster than 50 1mb files. Anyway. I am trying to back up information onto another computer because I am about to RAID HDD's but the network has just taken 10mins to copy over 1 200mb file. I would normally espect that to be done in less than 2 mins. Does WinXP Home restrict the Network to 10Mb? The Switch is showing oragne light which means 100Mb connection, the light on the…

Hi, While the engine is out, I would like to remove as much unnecessary pipework as poss, I have already removed the EGR and the AiV system! I want to know if anybody else has succeeded in making the engine bay, not resemble an explosion in a plumbing warehouse! Mark

Hi, Am thinking of getting one and would like to find the forums? Mark

Anyone know?

Saw one in Demon Tweeks and wondered what people think of them? Can you use them with the existing pump? Do they improve the flow over standard? Mark

this might help to some of you - I was taking to a valeter at the weekend and he noticed the amount of stonechips on the front of my car... I've been polishing it with Autoglym super resin and had notcied that the chips were much more noticeable after a polish He seemed to think that if I used a polish that was the colour of the car (black) then the chips wouldn't show up as much cos the reason they show up more is cos the polish gets stuck in the 'holes'. i havent tried it yet but he seemed pretty sure that it would help the situation...??? HTH Ed

Hi Everyone, I'm afraid I am a new kid on the block and need some help and advice. I have bought an unregistered imported twin turbo which needs sorting for an mot and uk regulations before I can use it. Does anyone know of a firm who specialises in zeds in the south, who could sort it out.I live near Portsmouth, and prepared to travel within reason. Local Nissan don't want to know.My car is a October 1991 manual, done 40,000 miles and cost me £2500. They come cheaper than that at Southampton docks. They have 2 auctions a week of imported cars. On average 10 zeds a week are sold never more than £2800, but unregistered. My car is not perfect of course, a section of…
