Any one got a pair from a car being broken? Been advised that the Mongoose back boxes UI have on now are producing too much back pressure and I need to loose them in favour of some straight through ones? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

When am I getting my headlights back mate? I sent them to you at the Nottingham show and chased them up again over a month ago. Getting urgent now!

Just a quick note to anyone searching for a recommendation for an upholsterer to do re-trims. I have just had the first part of my interior re-trim completed and I am so impressed with this guys work I will actually recommend him. He is charging me just £200 for re-trimming the rear seats, all door/centre console and underdash trim panels. I am supplying the material for the job. I think this is superb value for money and having just got the rear seats and two panels back from him his workmanship is truly excellent. His name is Paul Salter, Derby, 07887-864797. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John (Nukem) Newcomb www.geocit…

As my car isn't running propperly at the mo I want to check its not the ECU screwing up. I want to swap the ECU with another Z to see if this cures the problem. I have a TT and a guy up the road has an NA. Would using this chip make things worse? More importantly, is it safe?

Anyone who's converted their 300 themselves, how did you get the insert out of the back of your crank before putting in the pilot bearing? Looking at it last night, I assume that I need a really small puller. Any tips? Cheers. ------------------ 'I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not like his passengers....'

Thanks John for the Module Ivan, things are looking good for the weekend, will drop you a mail later after its fitted Matt

somehow this mutated into the monster we all know and love today http://www.express.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/skyline.htm

Ok,i admit its prob a daft question,but considering the amount of heat produced from a zed engine would it be ok to remove the deadning material from under bonnet,has anyone done this,just worried that the heat might fookup me paintwork,cheers.

Hey!!! You probably aint missed me but beware, I'm back bigger and better than before and I won't take no shit (Banzai) so come on dudes and chicks, how's it going?

I am looking to get a PCV valve and rear crank oil seal from Courtesy Nissan. Will these fit a UK car? I cant see any reason why they wouldn't, but I want to make sure before I part with my money. Does any one know the price of a PCV valve and rear crank seal from Nissan UK? Cos if about the same its not worth it. Stuart [This message has been edited by SRRAE (edited 26-09-2002).]

Are there bushes/bearings in the steering arm - that, when worn create horizontal movement? Or do I need to replace the rack? Probably a daft question, but your help appreciated. Got through the MOT - but with a comment! AndyGP

Folks, Where does this live unit plug into re the engine - I understand it monitors sensors but I cant understand where it would plug-in? Sorry for being so stupid but obviously my IQ has taken a dive since defecting to the GTR clan Does it plugin to the ECU? Thanks as ever ------------------ ->Glen - ..hang on a minute lads... I got a great idea..

Not for the car - work im afraid, building a show stand for a company & they want dry woven matting for effect & such. Any links or no's would be great. Only 4sqm required. cheers harve

If anyone else is suffering from the odd gremlin, try 'O' rings & clipping 'O' ring codes are - (219) x2 @ 33mm x 3mm. & (115) x 1 @ 17mm x 2.5mm. about 30p ea NOT NISSAN! but from any good hardware shop & micro jubilee clips - from wherever you can sorse them. Hope its helpfull harve

I recently bought my Z and was wondering what the best way to start it was? I have a key and have found that to be fairly efficient but is there any other way of getting her going? Someone mentioned to me that there is a crank handle in with the toolkit and that if the car won't start you can manually crank the engine like you could with the old bi-planes and cars of old. Any input much appreciated. TIA MARIA P.S. or should I have posted this in the Tech section??? ------------------ "Life sucks. Get a F**king helmet, okay?" Denis Leary

Again I drive G reg import with auto. So if the position of the auto gear stick whilst stopped was not interesting enough ... what about slowing down? As I come off the motorway onto the slip road I have developed the habit of disengaging the (so called) overdrive, to help the process of slowing. I now find myself shifting down to 2nd when I get down to say 2,500 rpm. Should I go further and shift to first - again when the rpm has reduced to a safe level or is this completely wrong and I should be using the brakes? Again points are scored for being informative, point deducted for bad language. Simon

Don't trust MS tech site, so has anyone upgraded a PC from ME to 2000. Can you run it over the top or will I have to wipe the bloody thing first. Many thanks in anticipation! ------------------
