Could be SPAM (which I hate), but I like my cars and dont want have to pay stupid prices for petrol, so what the hell. It seems a reasonable idea... READ THIS I know everybody hates SPAM, but just read on, this is about PETROL PRICES. Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to 89P a litre by the summer. Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Holsworth, in the USA, offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the ‘don’t buy petrol on a certain day’ campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at us because they knew we wouldn’t con…

This programable ECU replacement looks like a good bit of kit: http://www.autospeed.com.au/A_0301/P_1/article.html But they dont list the Z32 under the models it covers Anyone heard if a Z32 version is on the way?

I've had 3 autometer gauges now, all giving different readings. The latest one does at least read zero when switched off, but only 11psi at max boost using boost jets. I'm still not really confident that the figure is accurate, so I don't want to put smaller jets in and risk blowing the engine without checking that the 11psi is accurate first. Anyone with an accurate boost gauge near Redhill that I can hook up to my car temporarily? Also, during testing my undertray fell off . Is it a bad idea to drive the car without the undertray or is it OK until it rains?

My drivers side elctric window has stopped working, I have removed the door card to check the wires, and they are all connected, I can hear the black box which I assume is the relay clicking away whenever I press the button, but no movement, any ideas chaps? whats the easiest way to check/test the window motor is working?

Hey guys I finally got a few quick pics of my Z onto the net check it out at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~meaty/car.html Tell me what you think! Sean

Anyone know if there is a diagnostic to turn on the rear oil pump. Manual says it goes on at a set temp 130C (and above 75mph on the manual)and basically thats quite high. Did some fast stuff in the warm weather last week and it looks like it came on and leaked. One of the rubber pipe connections to the cooler leaked some oil onto the exhaust and rear suspension. Tightened the connections but would like to be sure its right. Otherwise emptied diff and fried diff at high speed! Gather the imports dont have this problem. Your gonna say sad git looks under his car! Well I was under to inspect the prop centre bearing which has defo sagged and I think causes transmis…

Pulled out of a junction this morning into the flow of mindless commuters only to find that when I stopped my auto box stalled on me. Its never happened before, I was thinking is it because I gave too much gas to pull out then immediately stopped?. The engine was still cold (been on for about 3 mins.). Anybody else encountered this, or is it just a one off fluke??. Tony

I've got a good HKS exhaust on the car I'm about to sell (2 years old, with invoice). If anyones has £250 plus a reasonable standard exhaust on their car to swap it with, then let me know. It has two single pipes at the back. Its from the cat back. Nice condition. Other bits you might be interested in is a UK owners manual (has wiring diagrams etc too). Also a new pair of JBL front speakers. Thanks AndyZ

yep, still bleating on about this one.... the sensor that tells the speedo what to do and also screws up the power steering assistance and makes the car hesitate when you put your foot down too hard. about 80 / 90 quid from Nissan, but will a 91 UK sensor fit a 91 Jap car ? and after I've mended it.... do you want to buy it ? hmmm, after I've mended it will I really want to sell it ?

As I sit here eating 'dinner', I wondered if anyone else isn't exactly cordon-bleu when they're home alone. Two sausage rolls, a pack of doritos, 6 chocolate teacakes and a tin of chopped tomato, 4 bottles of Blandford Fly (great stuff). Dave

I have just had a full system made (cats removed) and fitted by Ascar in Sheffield on my swb Z32 - not sure it's a 'performance' one but it looks great and sounds great, and came with a 25 year guarantee for less than £500 inc vat (took a full day so saw lots of Sheffield town centre) The fitter is called John.

Looking at getting one of these and just wanted to know if they are any good. http://www.screwfix.com/shop_product.html?1495 I know there was a post a while back where someone was using one (I think it was Latz). How do they work? is it just pressured water with a detergant? Thanks Vijay

Anybody know where I can a set of Brembo drilled front discs from? Enquired at Brembo Notrh America but the shipping was dearer than the discs!!

The clock that shows the time of posts is fast. I just posted at 7:24 and when I next looked two minutes later the forum said I'd posted at 7:30. I therefore calculated that it was now 7:32 and I hadn't switched on Eastenders. This caused significant stress. Please correct this immediately or I will not pay you any more money. Dave (now living in Wales and bored)

I really hope this game comes on to the PC. It looks fantastic. Glenn you HAVE to get it when it comes out and tell us what its like. [This message has been edited by SRRAE (edited 30-04-2002).]
