So what did everybody think.. I was around from early morning up till early afternoon.. with girl though, so she got bored v.quick! Bought her a mug with her Puma on though! Impressed with the skyline turnout, starting to warm to the Skyline R34, but the price tag is a good put-off! Got a good deal on my EBC pads and discs as well..

Over the last 12 months my oil pressure has been steadily getting worse. She's done a lot of miles 170k but I had a steady 65-70 psia at 3000 rpm. Now I'm lucky if I 45 psi. In still get 25-30 psia at idle though. Any ideas. If the worst comes to the worst, does the engine have to come out to change the oil pump?

I've stopped doing the 'spotted' thing but had to say this. Just cant believe it - more zeds than 318's or so it seems around 'my way'. I know of two white zeds both within a mile of me and blow me I see silver one this morning. That on top of a spotted on friday, black one , reg - 'CYA ***' going across Itchen toll bridge. As before I doubt if it is anyone on here. Maybe the presence of seeing mine around has inspired others to follow into the zed brigade?. CYA

Hi All, I had a replacement fuel filler pipe fitted over the weekend as mine tended to jettison my fuel while cornering/braking. My Q is this, should there be pressure/vacuum in the tank?? I'm not sure which it is, pressure I think - I get a hiss when I take the cap off. The car seems to be running fine (20 mile trip with no probs), the spring loaded trap was actually missing from my old pipe, I didn't used to get any kind of hiss. Which is correct - hiss or no hiss?? Cheers! RobH

First of all it was good to meet you all at TRAX unfortunately I had to leave the car at the gate because the clutch let go. Anyhow, I finally got home ok, but I how need to get a new clutch this week. What, how much and where from? Any advice appreciated. David [This message has been edited by TVC15 (edited 09-09-2002).]

Did anyone see the HKS decorated Skyline R34 that apparently did 0-60 in just over 3 seconds? I'm sure he had a few mods under the bonnet (uprated air filter???.......), but could one of those things really go that fast? To be honest most of the times seemed a little optimisitc, although maybe I'm being a harsh as it's hard to tell exactly how modifed each car is. I still think I should have hauled my (standard)Z out of the car park and recorded a 4 second time though.........

New in the boxes. Dimpled and slotted. I bought these but never put them on. Going to the first 100 quid including shipping. 80 quid for anyone who picks them up from me in London or possibly the Slough meet.

First of all, sorry to everyone who came from the M1, as my directions were out (only slihtly though!!!) Good to meet new faces at last, quite a good turnout, shame there wasn't more in the way of trade stands for Jap cars - it was all neon washer jets and Corsa front bumpers. Still not a bad show though.

I've got an SE Nissan Monza nosecone, and it's just far too low for me, so does anyone have another front bumper (Scarab/Stillen etc that they would swap + a bit of cash? alternatively, if anyone is selling an aftermarked front bumper, can they let me know.

There's been quite a few serious topics raised recently - but it's Sunday evening and quite a few of you will be winding down from Trax (how'd it go guys? - reports expected soon...). So here is a bit of light relief. What is it about these two neanderthals? Every time Lisa tries to think about anything harder than - oh, I don't know - which leg of my trousers do I put on first, her little brow furrows and those hairy caterpillars strain across the intervening distance to make her the monobrow she really is. What day is it? How do you make babies? Should I carry on porking the bloke I tried to shoot? Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tilt, eyebrows. Mark is no better.…

Can anyone out there help me? I've got a '91 TT jap import and it would seem that my cats are overheating as the warning light is coming on periodically on the dash. The car, when it's cold, runs fine. But, after about ten minutes of driving she starts to miss, doesn't always accelerate properly untill I floor it completely when she stutters and coughs and finally shoots off as per normal. At this time the warning light goes out too, but as soon as as I try to drive her normally again, within a short while she starts missing etc. again. I'm also getting through twice as much petrol as I used to...any ideas??

Got Broadband ADSL Modem plugged in and all works well most of the time, however, on occasions it loses the link and i have narrowed it down to the USB port as after doing a couple of tests found that my printer which is also run from the other USB also loses connection. What can i do, does it need configuring or is it a problem with the motherboard ? Any help appreciated. One other thing, sometimes if i unplug the USB and plug it back in i get the link back but not always. Cheers boys and girls. Bob

...anyone seen any - and if not - how come? AndyGP

Do any of you guys know where I can get pictures of the dash warning lights and what they mean for a '91 TT Jap import? The one in particular that I need to identify looks a bit like a middle-box section of an exhaust system with some sqiggly lines above it. Also, how do I enable HTML so I can add pictures?

****ing lots of blue white smoke from exhaust when i put my foot down, now notice got smoke on tickover,engine seem to be running fine idel speed is correct to. had noise from front of car to start with that went the noise was like a gratting sound from front and underneath passenger side what the **** is it
