hi guys, your input if you please, what do you think to this? cheers kris ------------------

Does anyone have a view on the fuel addatives such as Redex?. Do they make any difference. They also do a gearbox addative that is supposed to improve gearbox life and give smoother changing. Any comments welcome.

Can someone tell me what parts I need to order from courtesy nissan to change my clutch (well.. get the mechanic to change my clutch). http://www.courtesyparts.com/z32_clutch.html seems like it should be worth ordering them from the states rather than nissan uk.. stu

Anyone know a laser cut metalworking company that can produce a laser cut, letter routed and polished metal plate for me? Even better is there someone on here that can do it?

Where do I buy larger & better intercoolers from? Anyone have aftermarket ones fitted and are they worth the expense? What are my options? ------------------ "Before it blew up" "Now driving a Celica - great NOT!" --------------- Z first and anything else is secondary and live life a quarter mile at a time!

I had to change the odometer a year ago so now it is underreading by 110,000km. I am now so p*ssed off with this that I want to get the correct reading back again. This may be the first recorded case of someone wanting to increase recorded kms but then I even give back incorrect change to bartenders. Do we know any kind legal upstanding people who might offer this service? Thanks - Gio ------------------

You must have noticed how your car acts like a magnet for street urchins. You must have experienced these questions before so I have prepared a FAQ for you with translations so you can always have your answers ready. "What ya had out of it?" Translation: Whats the maximum speed of your car? "is it chipped?" Translation: Have the fueling and ignition maps been modified to accomodate higher boost pressure? "Its a fairlady isnt it?" Translation: I know what it is because i seen one on Gran Turismo "Does it spin?" Translation: Can you break traction with the rear wheels to impress the 14 year old girls sitting outside the local Spar drinking cide…

Yes, I have better things to do, but it's bugged me for long enough. What's the best way to remove some 12 year old welded on plastic stickers from the window? Don't want a big sticky mess left behind and it's on the heated rear window lines so I have to be carefull with blades etc. I was thinking of trying a hair dryer to help soften it up first... Jez.

has nobody heard of the dreaded goose honk? after doing a lot of searching i finally found what the noise is that ive been hearing. when you put aftermarket induction in ya car there is a noise from ur recircs which is amplified by ya induction and sounds like a goose honk. i thought something was flying around in my engine! seems i have another mod guys (goose power) 300 bgp at the wheels for me! cant believe you havnt heard of this,the aussi's must have more geese down under

hey bud,ive been doing some searches and our sound is known as a goose honk! from wat i can find out it is the sound the recircs make which is increased when you put an aftermarket induction in the only way to remove it is to put bovs in . from what ive read it is quite normal and cant do any damage but DONT take my word for it! HOPE THIS HELPED M8 now ive only got to sort my hesitation prob so im half way there with a HONK LOL JAY

Since hearing a few stories being banded about about engines going bang etc. I am starting to think that it's not all it's cracked up to be! My car looks good now and to be honest I think they are fast enough as stock...Twin Tubs I mean. I've done the zorst, intake and ECU but am seriously going off the idea of big engine work and fuck off big hairdryers!!! I know that it's all about 0-100 and 1/4 mile times etc. but why spend 20K to get your time down by about a second? I'm not slagging here, just my opinion but am interested to see what other people reckon. Or is it just that there aren't enough decent tuners in this shite arse country to set them up…

the oil cap is very nice, and carbon fiber is a bitch to work with but great product. ------------------ While my TURBO'S are Spooling V8'S are Drooling

When my car was stock the Techtom would read between 86 and 89 degrees F depending on the weather. Water temp I'm on about. Since having the Stillen front on and the Astra GSi bonnet vents the car is now reading 83 degrees...even yesterday when the outside temp was a lovely 23 degrees Charlie! Pukka! So proves that it's not all about looks although that is nice, but does the biz aswell! ------------------ [This message has been edited by Timmy_Turbo (edited 25-06-2002).]
