Well I suppose after almost two years of happy daily motoring things are going to start to go west. It looks like my starter motor is now playing up, when turning the key it sometimes makes a terrible noise and smoke starts coming from the top right hand side of the engine (looking from the front). Is this a case of its fooked? Anyone know how much for a new one or would a second hand one do the job? Are there any differences between the different models (auto/man, LWB,SWB etc). Second problem, my HICAS light came on a couple of week ago and today (yes I know) I filled up with ATF. I stuck it in the round thing at the front left of the engine (looking from front…

the gargle sound stopped when i used super unleaded petrol .does anyone no why and do i have a problem? gonna cost me a fortune if i stick to super petrol.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME THAT WE PUT ACROSS OUR SIDE OF THE STORY. WARREN A.K.A 300ZX CAME INTO XOTICAR AS A CUSTOMER. WHEN HE CAME TO US HE TOLD US THAT HE RUNS THE 300ZX FORUM AND IF WE GAVE HIM DISCOUNT ON WORK DONE TO HIS CAR HE WOULD GET US WORK FROM YOU GUYS IN THE FORUM, WE AGREED AND SAID WE WOULD GIVE DISCOUNTS TO ANY OF THE MEMBERS(DID HE EVER MENTION THIS?) AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME I STARTED TO CLASS HIM AS A FRIEND RATHER THAN A CUSTOMER. HE ATTENED TRACK DAYS, AUTOSPORT SHOW AND MANY OTHER SOCIAL THINGS WITH US. AS TIME WENT ON HIS FAVOURS BECAME MORE INVOLVED AND EXPENSIVE, ON A FEW THINGS I HAD TO CHARGE HIM NEAR RETAIL MONEY THATS WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTE…

Freddie Mercury, Gianni Versace and the Queen Mum arrive at the Pearly Gates, St Peter explains that only one can get through and that they each have to put forward their case for entry. Freddie says, "I know I haven't led a perfect life and I've made some mistakes along the way, but I've made some of the most beautiful music in the world. I'll stand at the back of heaven, and serenade everybody with my wondrous songs, making heaven a far happier place to be" "Pretty good, Fred" said St Peter, "what about you Gianni?" Versace says, "I make the most beautiful clothes in the world. I will completely redesign the fashions up here, from the archangels to the…

OK, so I've got my car on the drive, 20 degree slope, handbrake off, in 1st gear. feet off the pedals. Car rolls back about a foot, stops for two seconds, rolls back about a foot, stops two seconds etc. Is my clutch knackered ? Herman

Hi All, I have a strange tooting noise that reveals itself when the car is accelerating sometimes. I think I've heard it referred to as clutch 'honk'. Anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Is my clutch slipping??? :-( The car is a 90TT Auto Jap. Cheers, RobH

A guy who used to work for Garrett's is now working at our place and I got onto the topic of Turbos and boost pressures with him. He was really quite high up the technical marketing ladder and knows his T25s from his T28s etc... Anyway, he pointed out that to increase the boost pressure you'd simply need to adjust the wastegate actuator arm rather than putting boost jets in - after all, the pressure is still going to be the same throughout the entire hose, a restricted jet might slightly delay opening (through interfering with the flow) but it won't make any difference to the actuating pressure. I'm not trying to re-write the turbo bible but I did think his…

Not really after a lot of bass really its just im gonna gut the original stereo system and start from new, in the front im going to put some 6 1/2 component speakers, What I would like to do in the rear is put some 6 1/2 inch subs in (am i correct in assuming this is the biggest you can fit) anyoone know of any which give a nice ammount of bass without making my car sound like an Xr3i on heat

It still aint F-ing right, ever since I got the Damn thing. It works then doesnt. Who used the wiring for TT.net? Is that right, becuase if the inline fuse goes on the TC box, the whole F-car wont work, becuase that is the power to the ECU. I really Feked off about it. It dangerous. It works for a day, I try pull out of into traffic quickly and cos it then stops working my car comes to a grinding halt when it reaches 1750rmp. F-ed off with it really. Stuart

I'm trying to fir front pads, but can't get the calipers to retract enough, or at all ! What am I doing wrong, any ideas ? Thanks in advance. Herman

Dear All I have seen some (what look like) good import Z32s for sale, but am wondering a few things. The auto box will require an external oil cooler to be fitted, and I know they do not have a diff. cooler. Can a diff. cooler be fitted? Are there any major differences to be aware of, like parts for example and what is their reliability like compared to UK spec ones? I would like one that is stock and would like to keep it stock as I have heard that they are not built as well as european models. Please can you email me at mj1100@hotmail.com. Any information will be greatly received. Regards MJ [This message has been edite…

Do you know any online stores in the uk to buy stuff for my zx and also has anyone tried the HKS ALC???

Hi I have a stainless steel centre section silencer for sale. Its in very good condition and made my Power Flow. Only 50 squid. Buyer collects from West London CheerZ 07944 778866

Any one have one? Whats the cost gonna be? Obviously it has to be in good nick. I have noticed a damp line under the passenger rear wheel arch, with wet mud stuck to it. The mud reaks of petrol. So its either the tank or neck. I have a 91 UK, if that makes a difference. Mail me. SRRAE@hotmail.com Stuart

Is there an online stillen dealer in the uk?

Smithy I've sent you an email. Just to know when the Apexi induction kit and the Gauges are going to arrive as I've booked a DYNO run in 2 weeks time. It would be good to have the parts fitted before then. Cheers

ehrm...ok.. I guess the owner must be a fan of Ferrari's ? [This message has been edited by lymon (edited 18-04-2002).]
