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…

Andy, Neil, I saw your replies to Nelson's post about the exhaust wrap. I am getting a new Mongoose this week and if: 1. It was worth wrapping the exhaust. If so I assume it is just the front section, closest to the engine. 2. Is it worth doing the turbos and can they be done on the car? Neil you mentioned just the sides closeest to the exhaust? Andy, did you take the photos of yours? Doing the clutch at the same time (well the garage is not me )is there anything else I should consider while he is under there ? Appreciate any advice. Ta, David

Could any one of you clever techy people out there tell me (a relative thicky) how to remove and re-fit my starter motor??? It's jammed up a goodun, got another 1 but aint got much of a clue. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated, cheers all

Does anyone know where I can get a new center support bearing without paying the ripoff price that nissan wants for the whole kit? Cheers. ben. ------------------ 'I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not like his passengers....'

Has anyone who did this looked at the charts they give you and noticed that it starts from between 5/10mph? They weren't getting people up to the line properly and some cars crossed the timing line at the start already doing 5-10mph. So what most people have is actually a 5-10ish - 60mph time, not a true 0-60. Waste of £7 a go if it isn't accurate. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

When out driving in the rain the other day, I noticed that there was a damp patch on the driver door arm rest. I traced the the trickle of water and it seemed to be coming from behind the trim at the top of the seatbelt. The window and roof rubbers all seem to be in good condition and there are no splits or cracks. Any ideas of where the water could be getting in?

Well at last the day arrived for me to collect the RX7 from Southampton. What a shit day to collect it, pissed down the whole time, so all I can say is it feels real quick. The engine in these are so smooth, and the gearbox is real sweet. The car sounds awesome. Car has HKS EVC Boost controller, not touching it assume it sets correctly, and leave well alone. Blitz turbo timer, HKS boost gauge, and shift light controller. The interior is immaculate, and the seats look like new. The 17inch split rims look like new, and the rubber is YOKO's finest all round. The car shuold be ready for registration by the end of the week. If anybody wants to be first on th…

I haven't edited the pics... they were taken with a flash... Where did you get those plates made matey? I always thought they didn't work but this proves otherwise! [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 13-09-2002).]

Anyone know a decent bodyshop in Bucks that won't rip me off? I need to get a new front bumper sprayed, but I can't get time off to head up to PPS until the end of November!!

Help, my 300zx won't start. Last night because I've been having overfuelling and cat overheating problems I pulled the connector blocks off the PTU to check for corrosion etc. They were that loose they practically came off in my hand!! I cleaned them and game them a squirt of WD40 and pushed them back on properly and now the bloody car won't start!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am already late for work. Cheers, Tim.
