I get white smoke out of the back when I first start the car. It is only for about a seconds or so. I read on the diagnostics and is says something about the Fuel Pressure Regulator Diaphragm failure. Can some one shed some light on the matter and tell me how to fix it. Stuart

Tim & I were comparing cars t'other night and my Jap spec is clearly lower at the back than his UK model. A very unscientific measure at the time made it look about 2 inches. Anyway, tonight I measured mine like this ... .. and the height from the ground to the top of the spoiler is 975mm. I know the lump of fence post isn't quite level in the pic, but it was when I actually did the measuring. Now my car is totally standard in the springing department, but does have Tokico shox. AFAIK Tim's is also standard. Anyone care to compare a few others ?

...so I could use some serious advice. Today I got flashed by a gatso. But this is no ordinary gatso, it flashed me going towards it, on the opposite lane. There was no white lines underneath my car, they are in the opposite lane (2 lane road, 30mph zone). Am I going to be shafted by plods' truncheon or what??? Has anybody been prosecuted in this way?? This speed camera has only just started doing this. Because before this week I was zooming past it without a problem. I am currently sh*tting myself, as it has taken me three f*ucking times to realise what's going on. Have I just capsized the boat going down shit creek??? I would appreciate …

Stopped at the garage to get some cigs tonight almost home, put it in N and left it ticking over! Came out and noticed smoke coming from underneath. Same problem I had a while back. Got home and grabbed the maglite, looked underneath and I could see where fluid had marked the zorst to just passed the centre. It's not done this since having the gearbox done until now. Few thousand miles! However, I've still got serious vibration problems in the drivetrain, more than likely the prop. Is it possible that driving the car like this has knackered the rear seal on the gearbox again? I'm gonna get it up on the ramps tomorrow and get my sorry ass underneath to see w…

Tony Can you tell me if your hatch has one of those extra skins on it or have you just removed the stock spoiler and filled the holes?

Yesterday while coming back for a meal with my lovley girlfriend, I went around a mini roundabout, you now the ones where you are at close to full lock to get round. Half way round I must have hit a pot hole hidden by the shit, lights of the Z. It made a huge bang. I didnt think much of it. But today going down the motorway and when I reach about at about 50 the car started to vibrate and got worse as I got faster. Let go of the steering wheel and the wheel moved from side to side very quickly. It maybe road surface cos I was watching other peoples cars suspention working over time on the motorway and you notice badly lay road surfaces with hard suspention. But co…
