Hi, I noticed some water under the car in my garage. On looking from underneath it seems to be dripping from the front of the gearbox. Working up from there it seemed to be coming from somewhere above the exhaust join arrangement, on the near side. I tried removing the battery and looking from above, but couldn't get an angle to see anything. There didn't seem to be that much water lost from radiator, and didn’t' seem to leak while engine running. Anyone any ides, what might be leaking up/back there - is it where heater parts are? (not sure I want to ask about ease of solving the problem !!) Thanks for any help Ash

Hi guys, Sorry to sound a bit dim, but what exactly is a breather kit, is it similar to a K&N style induction kit or is there more to it than that? And finally if there are any power increases to be had is is suitable for a Jap 1991 NA? Many thanks, Amer.

Hi, Has anyone got a front headlamp panel they want to get rid off? All the Best, Mark

Fitted some Red Stuff front pads in the middle of Feb and they are down to about 3mm left! They have been superb but at about £90 squids for 2 months wear I am devastated. Thats like putting a normal set on each month! It's not even my main car - just wish i'd noted the milage when i'd fitted 'em. They make so much brake dust too. Anyone else used them and found this?

Im hearing tapped noise, from my engine, just one side. Its goes over 2000rpm, but I can hear it as the revs come back to tick over. I have done an oil change. 5-40. Is that too thin?

I've got a silver machine.... OK, it's only the repeaters / indicators at the front but I thought you'd like to see the result the tools used and have a link to the sort-of-updated website which has this and other stuff on it. http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~webster/silvermach1.html If it had worked correctly, I would have done this on Friday night. But it didn't. Bugger. It is now Sunday night and my eyes / stamina have gone - so fingers crossed it works! ------------------ [edits a) to get pics working OK and b) to get rid of too many edit notices!] [This message has bee…

Z32 TT 1993 UK CAR IS £427 GOOD FOR A HKS FULL EXHAUST OR SHOULD I GO FOR A MONGOOSE £450 WHAT DO U THINK????

removed my breather kit today and hey presto all is fine. 1. idle stable 800 rpm no longer erratic, was between 900 and 1200rpm. 2. no more high vacum from under the oil filler cap revs dont die back to 500rpm when removed. 3. engine is now again quiet no noises no tappet noise. 4. vacum gauge in the car now sits where it used to 1 mm from the full point. not just below the next line down. ive never been convinced about this kit. once fitted little things started happening, i just hope it hasnt caused any damage to my engine. to those of you who havent fitted kits yet take note of the 4 points above. even take readings off vacume gauge on tickover, chec…

Anyone know if the uk front bumper water jets have a separate relay or summat cus mine dont spray. They dont even buzz when you press the button. windscreen jets are fine.

My Z is pretty ok at the moment. However, there are a couple of niggly things that are needed just to make everything just so. If anyone has any of these things, I would be greatful if you could mail me about them rather than post on here as I am not able to check the forum at work, however mail does work. My email address is cos.theo@mailcity.com. I will list the things I need in bullet form. * A fog light holder, lense and trailing cables from a uk rear bumper. * O/S brake light bulb holder and trailing cables. * O/S targa swingy jobby that sits in the front ridge between the front roof piece and inner rubber. Its the bit that kinda swings down…
