I know what most men think of them, so thought you would identify with this ------------------

Have had new uprated turbos fitted and re-buiobuild etc etc. Have finished running in. The car is flying............ However, when at say 4500 revs...motorway driving and floor it I get a rattling type noise possibly comming from top end of engine. (Cant be sure at 120+ mph) Could it be under fueling? and is this detonation? Way ahead? Many thanks Its good to be back on the forum again.

A while ago someone here said they got cheap insurance from Firebond. Said they got Classic car insurance on the Z. I just went online for a Quote £2366.74!!! What's going on? I told them I only did a maximum of 5000 miles a year. 6 years no claims, but came clean about two incidents that weren't my fault(my car was parked at the time) and didn't lose my no claims. ------------------

Please i need a shaft mounting for a 93 jap auto 2+2.

G'day, I'm probably looking at selling my Japanese Mine's ECU (Z32 TwinTurbo Automatic), either as the entire unit with the Mine's plaque on it and all (will quote the Mine's number later on), or maybe just the EPROM (not my favourite option, since the EPROM and the entire board is secured with epoxy resin. Pretty sure that the unit is called a Mine's VX-ROM (their site in Japanese is: http://www.mines-wave.com/) I'm changing over my computer control to one that's done here in Australia, and know that quite a few of you UK guys use the Mine's versions. Anyway, we'd have to work out the postage type options, and I'm willing to listen to any reasonable offers, to se…

Coming home from footy tonight, my power steering seemed to 'switch off'. I had just overtaken some vroom vrooms (the chaps face as I cruised past his Omega V6, was a treat). As I did a sharp right, the steering was heavy and was for the rest of the journey. I tried it after 5min and it seemed to be OK! Any suggestions?

4 samco hoses to replace the stock boost hoses cost over £100, never used, brand new in the box, offers around £75.00..... cheers........

As some of you may know my z had a bodykit and complete respray done last Novemeber. The problem I have is that the paint seems to be chipping off "too" easily. I have done about 2 - 2.5k since November and am pretty sure this shouldn't have happened so soon. The picture of the twin scoops was taken about a month or so ago and since then has chipped even more. The last picture is of where the rear windscreen meets the bodywork in the bottom corner on the passanger side. I don't think it will be too long before the paint just falls off. My main question is to anyone (including Simon H) who has ha…

THE NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forestfire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask. A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 mi…

Anyone got a black front bumper in good condition they don't want ? I have a 94 UK but I assume they are all the same. David

South Korean sacked from Italian Club for Golden Goal... I dunno, I thought this place was bad for throwing toys and spitting dummys out? Italian footie club that the hero South Korean plays for in Pasta Land has sacked him for knocking the National Side out of the World Cup! FFS! Laughable? Boss of the Italian club has told the Golden Goal Korean that he will never be allowed to step foot in the town again! Temper, temper you hot blooded Italian Stallions! ROFL Saying that two years ago it was Italian footie that took him on and made him what he is today. At the end of the day he can't change the fact that he's Korean FFS! Pathetic losers! --…

Im thinking about doing away with the cats on my zed, has anyone done this on their zed? Was the performance noticably better? Who would stock them? cheers guys.

I have just taken the car for its first MOT. Apart from lots of damage to exhaust and chassis due to bottoming out all was fine except the two small metal brake pipes on the rear which join the flexible pipe to the caliper on both sides which apparently are badly corroded. I have just given Nissan a ring and have been told that these pipes are not available as a part and are usually made up to order. I asked them if they could make me up a pair and was told that I would need to bring the car in…etc…etc….big money. I know a lot of you have done brake upgrades and I am hoping that someone still has these pipes to sell. Or is any one in a position to make me up a pair. …
