Looking through Banzai mag for summat and I spy this ad from Woodford Garage Motorsport who are claiming that they do Blitz BOV's for all models! Hmmmmm! Will ring them tomorrow and see if their claims are good, seeing as the Blitz BOV's have been discontinued for eons. ------------------

Alternator sorted - loose connection on battery feed back wire, so it cooked itself, For me it was Dismantle & replace 6mm bolt terminal......BUT. As the alternator is an open cage variety - the crap & bits in the casing & around the armature was unbelieveable. flies, feathers, dust, carbon & a shreaded wrapper off something! Now its 14+ volts again, so if yours isn't? its worth a look & 30 seconds with an air line to clean it before you have to go to the remove & swear stage. Cos i had to 'make' a long bent 15mm spanner to reach the back nut on it. harve ------------------

well here goes. sounded a little tappetey today not loud but definatly making some noise. tonight i lift bonnet grab throttle cable and listen,at about 2000 rpm v.loud noise sounds like there is somthing loose internally. runs v.smooth from 3000rpm upwards. then i remove the oil filler cap, big hiss for a few seconds then revs drop to about 600rpm. now i have never had that in there before. i then replace cap and revs rise to 850rpm. what do you think. any one else had this? please only reply if you genuinely think you know whats wrong. cheers "T"........

Hi, Just thought I would keep you posted on experiments at the Southern Californian College of the Z. I pulled off the Rubber trim at the top of the bulkhead from the driver side, to a piece of wiring loom that enters the bulkhead. I then proceeded to empty a years worth of rain in 20 seconds onto the windscreen and none of it entered the engine bay. Removing that rubber trim must create a least 10 square inches of ventilation, pretty valuable I would have thought. Also what does the rubber trim on the underside of the bonnet at the front do, has anybody any ideas? The rubber trim on the next Twin Turbo I get is going, did I mention I've got a NA con…

I picked up on this from threads like http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum6/HTML/000391.html and the fact that the bloke who put the last set of tyres on saidc "something's wrong - you've got uneven wear" Leigh gave me a useful place (ProTyres in Slough) so I am off to get the full monty alignment check done. I have found settings for camber, caster, kingpin inclination, toe-in, tie-rod length & turning angle for front wheels (pages FA-9 and FA-10, plus FA-24 and FA-25. Also Rear Wheel runout, camber, toe-in (RA-6, RA-7, RA-34, RA-35) And lastly a bunch of stuff about HICAS on ST-97 and ST-98. Three questions: a) which are the im…

Help ! I'm having a nightmare finding companies that are willing to insure an imported 300ZX TT. It's got non standard wheels and an Apex'i boost controller installed. Has anyone got any suggestions please.

Here is a pic of the 05 Lambo. Notice it doesn't have the gullwing doors anymore. It's rumored to have around 800 bhp and be AWD. Pic shows that they just completed a 20000 km endurance run. The test drivers name is Dante haaapppaaaareeently! ------------------

Hi. Not being a compter wizard i have a problem. Have recentlty purchased a hp omnibook 500 second hand. But it has a password stopping me getting to the bios. Someone has told me to take the battery out of the motherboard for 10 secs and put it back. Will this wipe everything off the hard drive? Seems a bit drastic if it does. Ideas anyone. Cheers.

I've just bought a Fairlady Z 1991 model. Driving it from Glasgow to Slough (near Heathrow Airport) I was doing 140 Km/h (Jap import) when the box made a howling noise for about three or four seconds, and then seemed to be okay again. However, I looked at the rev counter and found I was doing about 5000 rpm at that speed (about 95 mph?). I didn't think this was right, so I stopped at Windermere services, and found, when I tried to park the car, that I had no reverse gear, and when shifting into reverse, there was a horrible noise from the box; forward gears seemed to work though. From then on, it was a long ride home in ana RAC recovery truck!!!! I won't go into details …

Hi Just spoke to my mechanic and he has replaced a couple of hoses where he thought the water leak was coming from, unfortunately the car is still leaking He mentioned the leak was somewhere between the back of the engine and the bulkhead. Could anyone shed any light on this please. Many thanks Martin ------------------

I have a Toad Ai606 alarm, are there any outputs on this to control external devices from the remote? What I want to do is operate a solenoid to remotely open the drivers door so I can remove the handles. Is this possible from this alarm??? Cheers mate Jay ------------------

Driving to the office this morning on the M3, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new BMW doing 120 mph per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple of seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup!!! It scared me so bad, I dropped my shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, splashed and burned Big Jim and the twins, ruined the da…

hi guys, the revs at idle seems to be high. even once warmed it still idles at about 1250 to 1300 rpm. does anyone have any suggestions? thanks aki

Woow...what crazy drivers First time in my life I watch something like this for real. I was standing on a big corner followed by a straight line and then a small corner. It was also downhill where suddenly I hear this engine rev badly and bang..the first car shows up. It was Gronholm-Rautiainen with Peugeot 206. He showed up on the corner and in a few seconds he was gone leaving a big cloud of dust. I couldnt believe it. You expect them to take out a gear or two to slow the car down but noo no. They change gears up to make it go faster. Fucking hell. Panizi, Burns, Makinen, Mcrae and everybody else. All the respect for their madness
