My manual box is having a refurb due to knackered 4 gear / reverse.. ..got a call today saying the parts supplied by Nissan don't fit! Apparently the new input shaft is different from the original, and the only way to get it to fit is too buy all the required other parts! Which the transmission people did - only to find the slip rings and ring hubs - don't fit the gears!! Grrr, what Nissan now recommend is buying all new gears and bearings!! What a load of bollocks - can I get MJS (the tranny people) to send all this shit back saying "look it doesn't fit the original, either source the correct parts, or take back all these incorrect parts"? Your Annoyed …

Sussed it at long last getting these images smaller!! The First run is against a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo. 742V Second against Sunny GTiR M624 Third MarcZXT H933 Fourth and fifth SupraGTZ with Hybrid Turbos. K39 As you can see from the bottom of each ticket I won each race (sorry Marc had to get that one in ;-)(1st Finish) but what I don't understand is why on some of them my times are slower than the guy I raced. Any explanation anybody??

My car seems to be starting misfiring. At low revs it pops and gurgles. Not all the time, more when its cold, but I havent noticed it happening over 2500rpm. I have new plugs on, only about 1,000miles old. Could it be one of the coils dieing? Or the PTU? Stuart

H'apparently, it would seem I have fucked someones car up!!! I didn't spot how the wheels were on wrongly, I didn't install the exhaust rubbers properly and I am a bad man!!!!! So basically if I offer to help you out with your car don't bother cos I'm worse than quick fit!!! Fuckin hissing sids my ARSE - everyones as fuckin bad as each other and now I AM FUCKING PISSED OFF!!! You try to help some people but then hey..... what do I know??? I'm worse than kwik fit so.............. CheerZ, A very pissed off andy.....

Yo Smithy, Got the A-Pillar and the Indicators through the post. Fitted the indicators, it needed a bit of modifying though to get the bulb holder to fit, had to cut a third lip into the round opening, as the bulb holder had 3 prongs on it not two. Must be a difference between Uk spec and Jap. But once fitted it looks the bollox!, makes the car look more modern instead of the horriable taxi cab amber Lenses. I would definitly recommend them to anyone. Oh yeah when do you reckon the Apexi induction Kit and Autometer Gauges will arrive. Cheers Mark

Last post for today - honest! My TT is an import and I got no manual with it. Can someone tell me exactly what the various gearbox settings do?? It seems to me that the overdrive being off puts it in a lower gear higher up the revs. Logically the power setting would give greater power at the expense of fuel (?) but the hold setting is a complete mystery to me....? Please enlighten me!! What are the best settings for beating 5.5L Mercs away from the lights (sore point!) and economy (LOL!) Cheers, RobH

Hi just working on very nice Jap imort car for a customer and whilst doing several jobs have been asked to investigate suspension noise.Well this motor has had some serious height adjustable struts/shocks fitted at some time but unbelievable has not only been assembled wrong this car has been the subject of MOT`s and not been noticed, in the pic I have arrowes the problem, no spring location plated fitted so spring is not retained except by the compressed weight of the car, when going over good bumps or bridges or in fact jacking up the spring moves place at the top and gives a nasty scrapping sound,just shows be careful out there and Mot`s are not to be taken as a full …

I was cleaning out my 300 for the first time since buying it in November, I took out the passenger side matt when I noticed the footwell carpet was velcro'd to a wooden panel. I didn't have a screwdriver on me at the time, so I didn't open it. Is this panel normal ? and what is behind it ? Am I likely to find a 1K block of coke when the car was used for smuggling ? Herman

Hi All, I've got a Blitz induction kit on order and want to mod the exhaust to get the full benefit. The car has done less than 60K. My standard exhausts are good so I don't want to replace them at present. The car is a 1990 so should be OK to have the cat removed - (?) Question 1. Will this fail an MOT emissions test? Question 2. Will the increased boost blow the turbos to bits without a boost controller? Question 3. Is it going to make it a lot louder? Question 4. Is it going to make my fuel economy even more shocking? Question 5. Does anyone have a good insurer that will insure for further mods? N.U will allow my mods for an increased premium but draw the …

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with the vinyl around the Windscreen vent - it seems to have buckled, exposing the foam/wood underneath for it's entire length :-(. Has anyone else had this problem/got a fix...? Cheers, RobH
