I have been looking on the net and have seen lots of alloy wheels on american websites. The question is does anyone have any idea of how much it would cost to ship a set into the uk?

My rear wheels are looking a state with the rims being quite bad with chips and scrapes all around them and with black marks on the spokes too. Now do I recon them or shall I save up for 17's? Really I would like something like 255 or 265 on the rear, because 245 are not holding higher revs in 1st or 2nd in a straight line. If I get 17's it will probably be a year or so away cos I cant afford it and I just put new tyres on the rear too. Stuart

Recently my clutch peddel has been getting hard and the bite point is rased to the top of the peddel after a short while the clutch syarts to slip. I have orderd a new check valve fro the Maddella Bloke, but I think this wont cure the problem. I think the servo unit is bypassing vaccume to the wrong side and pressurizing the clutch i could be wrong and i hope so as a new servo is??? wait for it £440 plus the added, anybody had this prob. any comment?

I took the Nissan badge panel to check my induction and I noticed that there are holes where the panel attches to the nose, 2 had rubber plugs on to hold it tight against the pins on the nose. But they where bad condition and 2 where missing. The result is that when screwed in the front bumper side of the panel can be moved up and down slightly. If any one knows what I am on about do you know if I can buy more? Or is it a new panel job? Stuart

A few questions about them to those that fitted them, or have experience of them.. 1) did they make that much difference, is the noise that noticeable? 2) how easy were they to get in 3) do I need two? or just the one?

Maybe I'm getting old, just turned 30!, but I seem to have a problem with driving with the left indicator flashing! The problem is, I'm 6'6" and can't see the top section of the dashboard. My record is about 3.5 miles, can anyone beat this?? Mike

Is anyone breaking a 300ZX Na or TT? I need the plastic thingie that connects the door lock to the actuator (must be drivers side!). It's a real pain in the **** at the moment because the door panel is off & you have to go through the passenger side to unlock the door every time! Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Question for Duffman or Lymon, whats the max bhp limit of the standard 370cc injectors?

Why do brakes go soft when used on a trackday? Is it caused by the type of brake pads, the discs not good enough, the brake fluid or what? Running on a set of standard Nissan brake pads, Tarox 40 groove discs, braided brake hoses and DOT 5.1 brake fluid replaced 5/6 months ago. As the front discs are warped I was leaving them on for the trackday so as not to screw up the new ones I have ready to be fitted, but I didn't expect the pedal to go soft after 4/5 laps. So is it the pads? Should I have put on the EBC green stuff pads that are in the garage? I know the best solution is to go for a big brake kit but surely they should be able to last longer than this or is…

Hi, I would quite like to go to a racing harness type of belt setup in my 2+2 jap Zed! Has anyone done this, and if so how? I still want the rear seats to be useable, so a bar across the rear struts kind of arrangement will not do! Cheers in advance. AndyGP [This message has been edited by AndyGP (edited 23-08-2002).]

I have to take the new car in for an MOT/get any problems fixed on tuesday with the dealer. I have noticed whilst driving slow (could not help it got stuck in traffic!) at around 30-40 mph with about 1500 - 2000 revs the car feels slightly juddery (its an auto in normal mode by the way) - almost as if its in the wrong gear, a bit like close to stalling in a manual. It seems to occur after i take my foot off the acceleartor and I let the car slow down. Accelerate a bit and it goes away, slow down any more and it goes away too. Is this serious or perhaps the ECU needs resetting? - i have not done it since i got the car a week ago. Does the ECU learn/programme it s…
