Dont know if anyone watches this but the word INSANE comes to mind. This afternoon I will be attempting to jump 120ft on the CR500, whilst hanging off the bike with one hand. Last time I tried it, I nearly lost a testicle, so heres praying! Nows wheres that Metallica CD? ------------------

Car is currently sufering weird starting issues. Every time I go to start the car, disarm the alarm, turn the ignition on, wait a few seconds, turn it further and the car takes about ten seconds to start whilst making this really anoying (loud) clicking noise. The sound seems to be coming from behind the dash. Any one else had this problem and might know what it could be?

Hi everyone, I have got some UK clocks for my Jap TT 1993. Is there anything I need to do when fitting them to remove speed limiter etc. Thanks, Mark

I've noticed some oily gunk appearing on the bottom bit of bumper below the reg plate, there is a radiator type thing behind it and up a bit so i guess it could be comming from there but i dont know what its for, it cant be the intercoolers as they are at the sides and the main rad is further back than this anyone know what it is and what may be wrong with it?

Ok so I made me first buY from courtesY nissan and fu*** customs hav put on the box that it is worth $848 when the real price is $49.95c, charging a staggering £133.55 for the dutY, has this happened to anYone else?

hmmm...seems like loads of people are having problems with their clutch, like me! I've bled my clutch thoroughly, but it still doesn't disengage the clutch properly. I cant get the car into 1st and 2nd (just). My question is how do you tell if the clutch master cylinder is on it way out? If I pump mine loads while the car is off eventually I get some resistance in it, but when I turn the ignition it sinks right to the floor again. Any ideas?

I need to bleed my clutch. But I cant find the bleeder valve in the engine bay. A pic with a clear indication where that is will be very helpfull

Who supplies Nissan Rear shocks except the thieves at Nissan UK? Its a Jap import and non-adjustable. rear end bounces like hell and vibrates and it's wild at speed and braking. Any ideas? I heard Jeff stocks them? Thanks in advance... Stu Leicester

A blind man slowly walks in to a pub, sits at the bar, orders a large pint of bitter and then says to the bar maid, "I've got this great joke about blondes, anyone want to hear it?" The bar fell silent and Big Bertha, a 6ft blonde looks at the man and says, "Look mate, I'm here with my 4 girlfriends, all of which are blonde, all are proffesional weight lifters and we could all fold you up like a deck chair. So think about it do you still wanna tell that 'blonde' joke?" The man sighed, nodded and then said, "Yeah you're right, I couldn't be bothered to expalin it 5 times!" ------------------ Rik

Hi, since clouting a rear wheel against a kerb I had to replace the lower wishbone and a HICAS arm. The car seems pretty straight again now but I get an unpleasant vibration at 80+ mph (ahem!)it runs in a cycle, vibrate for 2 seconds (BBBbbbbbrrrrrr....) and then smooth for two seconds and then vibrate again....most noticeable when coasting/deccelerating/no throttle Wheels aren't out of balance I don't think, this should clear up at 80mph. I did have the rears swapped for the fronts to even out the tyre wear a bit.... Any ideas anyone?? Cheers! RobH

Since a lot of you seem to have IT backgrounds I wondered if anyone knows why even my uninteresting business website gets regular hits every week from links that go back to http://www.odci.gov - also known as the CIA. Do they look at everything? Its enough to get you paranoid. Willie

can you import a colour into Photoshop???? I've got a colour on a bitmap that I want to use on another bitmap, so hence the question. Thanks Vijay

Am I right in thinking that there are basically 2 camps here - those that want to mod the car as much as they can afford to get the most out of it, and those that think the car as stock is hardly worth tinkering with because it took so much development that any 'tinkering/modding' will probably lead to problems/changes which you wouldn't suspect/envisage/want ? MY standpoint is probably somewhere in the middle of these exteme views. Be interested to hear people's thoughts...

Hello guys, Just want to know if there's anyway I cay spray bitz pearl white myself. I've got a spray shop that makes up all auto paint, but how easy is it to actually do things in pearl? Thanks Vijay

Right, so I've dumped the plastic plate piece and cut the front plate down to illegal proportions, and attached it to the bottom piece of the front skirt. It slopes back slightly. Not sure if it looks best there yet - neone else done the same ? Am thinking of moving it to the white section below the black piece right on the nose, so that it protrudes over the top section of the lower intake. I'd post a pic, but not taken one yet and haven't attempted [laziness] to master my scanner/posting pics yet.

I was going to use the car for my honeymoon next Monday and Wedding on Sunday, can you help? Can't get the air out, if there is any. Can't take the car on a long trip, clutch disengages when hot. If you happen to have a vacume (pressurised) clutch bleeding kit that works with the 300 and are not to far maybe I can borrow it or come over and use it. Tried many things, stuff I ordered was incorrect etc.

Will the 300zx rims fit a `94 Skyline GTS, if yes then I need a set of wheels and tyres for insurance purposes. Steve
