Hi Guys/Gals Okay..still got clicking noise and creaking from Front passenger side brakes..now I have a tugging and clunking from same side. Any suggestions as to what it is would be greatly appreciated... thanks all.

My 200SX is faster than an MR-2 and it weighs more ! The optimum engine size depends on the weight of the car and the performance criteria - it's all down to physics. The 300ZX is not a rally car, hence it has a 3-litre TT engine for high top speed and lots of power. A 2-litre engine is usually better for racing (eg. Subaru Impreza) because the car is lighter and won't go at excessive speeds. A bigger engine provides less proportional power to increased mass, but the optimum engine size depends on the car's overall mass and what the performance criteria are. Engine size is a limiting factor, but engine design also plays a big part.

After a little drive today I noticed green water, which I think is coolant, dripping from the front of the passenger side. It looks like its coming from behind the intercooler. The radiator water level is fine, but I will keep my eye on it. Any ideas what it could be? Had the coolant bottle broke or could it just be a split pipe? Any help please. Thanks. Stuart

Not really Z related, but can anyone help with Insurers who do more than 3rd Party on Q Plates, or is this impossible ??? Thanks, Phil.

Hello Andy. I bought a few bits from you a while ago and was hoping you could help me again. I need a Nearside front upper wishbone, my car failed the MOT because the bush on this was worn to excess I wouldn't normally put something like this on second hand but I need a Quick fix temporarily. If you can help me drop me an email or reply here. Cheers Lee

call me

I'm no engine/car expert, but surely a 3-litre twin turbo has more potential power than a 2.6 ? litre twin turbo. Is it that the skyline has a less cramped engine bay ? Why aren't there 1000+ BHP ZX's ?

Mac - are the vents in the side of your front spoiler standard with it or did you add them afterwards? Are they for drawing are through the intercoolers or just for looks? Who from and how much?

Anyone going to this?. Havent seen any threads on this?, if there are then oops!. So whos going. I think you can arange for forum members parking only areas?. If you didn't know already, its on the 7th July. Tony [This message has been edited by rock_star (edited 27-06-2002).]

Does anybody know who makes this kit? I like the extended rear/doors. Chris

I have all the bits required to do the conversion except the pedal box including the pedal pumbs. I am in Cyprus at the moment and I have looked everywhere and I couldnt find any. Can somebody help me find any in UK? I'll pay for all the cost including shipping. I've heard that 200SX pedals are exactly the same as 300ZX. Is it true? I'll really appreciate it if somebody give a little bit of help.

If I swap the ROM will a manual ECU work in my auto? I'm pretty sure they are the same. Has anyone tried this?

Anyone fried eggs on their bonnet after a reasonably long run ?! I got rid of the sound insulation on the inside and now the bonnet gets really hot - it could do with a vent. Anyone put in a vent (cooling not an intake like Subaru's have)like most other turbocharged cars have, as they run so bloody hot - no wonder the oil needs changing more often !! Same goes for my 200SX. It also makes you wonder how much hotter the engine must get when you significantly increase the engine power and boot the car. Thinking of using my engine to heat the house in the winter instead of the central heating boiler !

My car is stock but I want to upgrade air filter, exhaust and CPU to allow engine to be breath and function as efficiently as possible. I read about Dastek's UNICHIPs and they sound really good - has anyone got any experience of them and/or can compare them against other chip upgrades ?

Anyone know how to remove these practically useful bits ?
