Once again Marks amateur mechanic brain has been working overtime! Been on SXOC forum and they talk about catch tanks! I know there was the disreputed breather system used a while ago, but does that not mean we can't use catch tanks!Or does it! Why can't we just vent the fumes to air, like a lot of systems do! If I don't start somewhere, I will never get anywhere! Mark

Ok, so with winter coming up I assume only the brave out there will be driving their Z's in the snow and ice..I know I have enough trouble with my Opel Manta in the wet so for winter its being hidden in my garage. I'll get some 'naff' fiesta or something to see me through the winter months..any way..when my Z arrives it'll make three cars..two of which aren't winter compatible and need storage......but which one will have to stay outside? Help! ------------------ Rik

After seeing Vinz's ride pics and Mac's motor at Trax, I noticed that they both have the hard pipe kit and the BOVs are plumbed straight in, instead of being in the stock locations - anyone know if the hard pipes come with the BOV adaptors weled in already, or is this a mod that Vinz and Mac have done themselves?

Cheers Jeff for all the work done to my car last weekend. Car hasn't missed a beat since and it stops like a goodun'. I recommend everyone get their calipers rebuilt if their break are feeling dead. I can now stop on a 2p piece and those Poly bush jobbies are excellent - no shake, rattle, or roll when braking now. The chip is good fun too. May the good work continue, provided no-one buys it.

Anyone from here ?!

...u get the Photoshop disk mate? ------------------ ->Glen - ..hang on a minute lads... I got a great idea..

just fitted a new sony head unit but everytime i turn up the volume, i either blow a fuse or the power seems to go off and come back on again. on the red power wire (which i have attached to the yellow continuious power wire on the head unit) there is a little box thingy (which i assume was put in by previous cos its got kenwood written on it) which houses a 7.5A fuse which i keep blowing. can i just bypass this box? or should this wire have a fuse on it? also on the yellow wire (which i attached to the red "switch power" wire on the head unit), there is a small box thingy with a 3A fuse in it. I did try swapping wires round(red to red, yellow to yellow) but this time i b…

Anyone know the Nissan part No. for Jap spec front brake pads with the little bracket on that rubs on the disc when the pads get low. My main dealer insists on supplying pads without this bracket (4106037P91)

MY STEERING HAS GONE REALLY HEAVY!!! id just changed my oil pressure sender unit,which wasnt where i thought it was supposed to be??? for some reason i thought it was supposed to be next to the oil filter,it wasnt ,it was under the left turbo????? near the oil filter(to the right )there is a electric connection,to a barrel shaped object.now i thought this was the oil pressure unit,it wasnt,when i went to take it off ,i had transmision fluid or anti freeze leak out. WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS THE OIL JOBBY? Anyway i had another look round and found a connection exactly the same as the unit id just bought so i guess this is the oil pressure unit OR HAVE I COCKE…
