Whilst stripping down the engine i got er in drawers to get scrubbing on the parts to be refitted. amazing results considering even the head is coming out like this! Latz

Thanks all for the help on the F plate problem, now i have another question now do i stop the car going beep beep when reversing? These japs have some funny ideas!

I was chatting to a fellow Z owner at the gym tonight and he said that he would love to own one of the limited edition Z's that were 450BHP standard. I said what limited edition Z's that is 450BHP standard. He said that they were the last right hand drive models made and there were only a small number. Hence Limited Edition. The only thing I can think that it might be is a 3Ltr TT 32V. I went to get an oil filter one day from the local motormania and he showed me in his book that there was a filter for a 32V and a 24V model. Anyone know anything about these mystical cars?

when at idle there is a lot of hissing going on should there be. you can stop the hissing by squeezing the pipe between the mio filter and the one way valve. i just wanted to know if this is right. are they open at idle and closed under acceleration?

Right Chaps, After filling up this AM and then getting clobbered by skip lorry debris (easy repair!) I got back into my car after wok and noticed a very lumpy idle, going from 500 to 1000 revs.... I left work and noticed a lack of power....then it went, then it backed off (foot still on pedal) then it went, then it backed off...... Met Jeff for a spot of car improvement shopping, asked him to get in for a spin, put my foot down turbo's were spooling perfect but it semed like the engine was holdin back (Like I had my foot on the brake....) an refused to go, then went, then stopped, then went and then I backed off the gas. Lifted bonnet checked for pipes…

right, I think I'm right in saying mines a series 2 car which I thought was late 92 onwards. I need to get some calliper repair kits and looking at courtesy there are 2 different types 90-92 and 93-96. My question is how do I know which callipers I have? Cheers Vijay

Over the last couple of weeks ive been getting a horrible smell coming through the vents into the car when i accelerate its only when its at running temp and theres no leaks or smell in the engine bay i thought it was maybe an oil smell but Andy D thought more like a ATF the car still runs well but its overpowering in the car.

Hi everyone, Just wondered if anybody can help us out. I am just on the verge of submitting quotes to the insurance company for the acid damage to my car. The insurance assessor valued my ZX at £5700 and he said that they will write off the car at 70% of that amount i.e. £3990. Most of the quotes I have are greater than that for the work required.I am looking for an official valuation of my car, it was an immaculate K reg, 1992, Twin Turbo, Series1, manual, leather, executive pack, UK car with 98 K on the clock full Nissan service History, bought in May 2001 for £7200. I am about to forward a load of adverts and the Parkers Guide (who value the car at 6850)to the…

Is nobody buying Fords or Vauxhalls anymore or what??? Just been out for some lunch and over the road at the garage is a lovely red Z just like mine parked up and waiting for some attention I presume.

Walking back to the car after getting a sarnie and an even nicer dark blue coloured Soup with private plate L** BYE...LMFAO...rolls passed me. Also some guy at work has got a lurvellllyyyy black Z with 19's on I think. Soon they're gonna be common as shite, fucking Nova boys will have rarer c…

Every time I pull off hard and foot down. My clutch smells. But it aint slipping after 4000 rpm in 1st it ends in wheel spin so there is nothing wrong with the clutch that way. But is the bad smell a sign of it going?
