What is the benefit of fitting one of these under drive pulleys? Seems a cheap modification but is it for real? Where do I get one from and how much? ------------------ John Newcomb www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

I have had an HKS induction kit on my Zed for a while now and wonder how you guys rate these. I did read in the tech section a while back about them being troublesome if driving in very rainy condition, making the MAS sensor play up or something. A month or so ago I was doing some motorway driving in such conditions and the car started running like shit. The sponge like filter was drenched. Is this something other intakes suffer from?. What other one do you recommend and what prices (such as Blitz etc )? Cheerz Simon H BTW My HKS filter is now quite grubby, can you clean these things and how?

While I was working at the Ideal Home Exhibition I was talking to a guy who was working on a stand called MER products. They produce all sorts of car cleaning products but there polish is supposed to be unique. The polish can be applied to the car bodywork if it is wet or dry!. They advise to leave it on for about 15 mins then buff it off. The benefit (apart from the shine) is that water just will not collect on the paintwork (much more than normal polish). So much so that in furture washing of the car you don't have to dry it. Sounds bollocks but I watched the demo this guy did and it was quite impressive. I bought a small tub the other day and will give it a go tonight …

Due to replace a new fuel pressure regulator at the weekend as fuel is flooding into the engine. Can someone advise on how to stop/cut the fuel supply while i carry this out.

Hi all, Please bear with me, I'm just trying to work out if some of my auto 300ZX's quirks are problems or simply 'undocumented features'. My Gear change is quite jerky from 1st to 2nd - particularly when cold, the clutch also 'honks' a bit from time to time when under heavy load. There's two yellow dipsticks at the back of the engine - is one transmission and one engine? One (LHS from the front) is completely clean and seems overfilled the other is a bit dirtier and also seems overfilled. I checked by pushing the dip all the way in - is this correct?? Cheers, RobH

Hey guys After having convinced my m8 James to buy a 300zx, the bloody power steering pipe blows up on him! he had the car on full lock and it made a gurggling and then just puked p/s fluid all over the floor. it came over from japan with the spec reading "strange noise from power steering" but when it arrived here it had a rip in the hose going from the back of the pump to the rack. I gave him mine while the engine is out. then yesterday as he was going to park, on full lock, it gurggled and blew up. he had been driving it previously for 2 days. any ideas??? i think it may be a pump but how do i tell?? if it was a pump wouldnt it have blown t…

Come on people, I know i havn't been very active of late BUT I have kept an eye on posts when I could. WHATS ITS ALL ABOUT! Ive noticed less and less people are posting regularly and this stems from childish antics by some members. If we dont all chill out then I can only see more and more members going or Craig and Nico throwing in the towel. WHAT A WASTE! We all like a laugh BUT come on its getting VERY BORING. I will be back with a vengenance next week, so please behave!

Anyone new coming on to this forum is going to think it's a pisstake or nothing less than world war three.

Hi, I have read several posts on AIV's, that say you can drill a hole in the base of the unit, plug the hose, and my mechanic says rip the whole thing out. Which is the best option and why, does anybody really know? Regards, Mark Hanley

Bought a front set of cheapo tyres from Elite just to pass my MOT. After four days one went pop on the M25: Got that replaced and the next morning: Got Kwik Fit to check the valve and tyre for holes or cuts but the tyre checked out. I have now got a set of Richbrook anti-theft valve caps: but has anyone seen any better products as the little grub screw and allen key thing are well flimsy - has anyone got those flush fit valves? Cheers, Trev

I climbed into my z this evening after having a hard day getting roasted by my area manager for spending more time polishing my car than i do working, ready to go home, turn the key to hear a loud click ignition lights go off and the engine doesnt turn. Oh shit here comes a bloody big repair bill i thought. So in true unqualified self appointed AA man style i pop the bonnet and peer in giving random wires a waggle and scratching my head. Then i discover the possitive battery terminal a little loose give it a waggle ignition lights back on!! When i got home i tightened it properly with a spanner and take it for a spin, it now boosts better, changes (auto) smoother and goes…
