Right...the ongoing saga of my turbo's .....have been fitted for a second time....everything put back together....and its CRAP. As it warms up so smoke gets thicker and thicker...it is actually leaking externally from the turbos!! No pressure in the crankcase...take off the oil cap...no blow-by...nothing. Ther turbos have already gone back once as they dumped oil in the exhausts last time.....I am convinced it is the turnbos...the garage state categorically that it IS the turbos. Where can I have my car delivered (it can't be driven..the problem is THAT bad) ....I live near Miltin Keynes/Luton.....I hear a lot about 'Jeff'....showing my ignorance is that 'Zed …

Before my car went into the bodyshop I'd get about 280-320(ish) MPG out of a full tank. Techtom would report correct voltage for the O2 sensors and would flick between lean and rich more than five times in 10 seconds as it's supposed to report(at warm, 2000 rpm) but not now! Since the car has returned from LEONARDOS it's guzzling fuel like it's gone out of fashion. Mrs T noticed it first when it managed about 50 miles on a quarter tank. I noticed it yesterday driving down from home to work 280 mile journey. Normally I would make it down and be close to empty, but yesterday I had to stop at Rothersthorpe(about 210 miles covered) and put another 20 squids of Optimax in…

Dear Mr Andrews Thank you for your email. Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd have no current plans to distribute the 350z car in the immediate future therefore I am unable to provide you with any further information currently, however I understand that the vehicle can now be ordered in America and Japan. If Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd does decide to distribute the vehicle it might be in the later part of 2003. These plans are of course subject to change and therefore please contact your local Authorised Nissan Dealer for the latest information. Thank you for contacting us.

recently talking with friends!! Yes i have a few. we came onto a discussion toll roads.i.e motorway and a few A-roads and no road tax. or road tax as it is now! what your verdict!!

i was just reading one of the topics about a dyno run in which the chap had lost 65 odd bhp through the drive to the wheels is there anyway of getting less of a loss? and is the percentage of loss the same roughly for each car? am i right in thinking that 200hp is std to the wheels and 280 hp std from the engine?

Posted in events a proposed meet in Ramsgate, so far had no takers anyone up for this?? ------------------ I feel the need, the need for speed!

is there any spec changes on the uk models from 1990 onwards , is there a year to look out for ? i.e. things that seem to go wrong with that year cars? or are they all ok? whats the advantage with buying jap ? i looked through the auto trader and it seems like the uk ones are as cheap as the japs? £5000 you can buy ethier jap or uk am i right?

I am in the process of converting my Auto TT to Manual TT. I have found all the bits including the gearbox but my mechanic told me that the gearbox is for the N/A and it will break easily. Can somebody tell me if this is true or not? Thanks

anybody on hear tried water injection Heard of good results,As of yet not heard any horror stories

All, I sold my Zed (Reluctantly ...) in March but went to the Jap show at Hicstead (West Sussex)yesterday. Pissing with rain but loads of Jap Muscle on display. mainly Scoobies, Evos, But lots of Supras and Skylines. Only saw three Zeds!!! One being a arer convertible 2 seater. Was hoping to see more a chat about the usual. Where were you all!??? Still thinking what to get next. After seeing the GTO's Im quote taken with the shape, even thought there not quite a sfast as Zeds & Supras. Good for ideas though. Highlight (Not jap) was a Ultima GTR kit for £55k!!! weighed nothing and had a 7l Chevy V8 tucked in…

I have spoken to seat suppliers about gettign some seats for the front (e.g. Cobra, Recaro, Corbeau, Momo and Sparco) but none of them seem to make a seat frame for the Z32 just say the universal frame will work ok. Has anyone fitted aftermarket front seats into their car? I remember at the Solihull meet one car had some seats fitted but I can't remember what sort they were. --------------- Z first and anything else is secondary and live life a quarter mile at a time!

Anyone seen this on Men & Motors? The current horse power champ in a Supra on 340odd. Do we find this impressive, or distinctly in the shirt lifters league? I've seen turbo GSX-R1100 mororcycles make more!

Wheres the cheapest place one can purchase the Apexi intake system for the zed?.
