Craig/Nico I have been just using the search. It has only been returning partial results. When I manually found the posting all the search words were in there. If I search for all my postings it only finds a dozen or so. Somethings not quite right. If you search for "grapevine" in the gen forum it doesn't find it - but it's there in the post. I have all the right search criteria selected in the drop down menus. Maybe it's the hyper-phase linear thrust converter? Probably not tho. Over to you. cheerz

Very strange,has anyone ever heard the electric cooling fan come on,I never have,but if I disconect it,then it comes on. ------------------

I'm new to this PC gaming lark - what's a good joystick to get ? I've ordered a flight sim game and don't want to use the keyboard. I'll never be a serious games person so I'm not looking to spend big money but also don't want something that's going to fall apart. There's too much choice - HELP ! Cheers guys

I spotted a white Z this morning, approx 9:10am outside Sandwell General Hospital. White Z, black wheels, big rear wing (similar to mine!). Who was it??????? RCD

Bit of a tricky one this. Does anyone know anybody that make custom, reasonable quality custom discs? I want some 4 hole Z32 Zed disks. So that's some 280mm/30mmm 4 hole with 114.3 PDC discs for a reasonalbe price. I dunno what the rotor offset is but it's the same as the Zed. A few guys have redrilled std EBC Zed discs but that seems a bit shoddy to me, much rather have proper jobs if economically viable. A set of EBC Zed discs, then drilled for 4 holes, is £200 notes, and to be honest if I'm paying that much i want ones that are right. To be really honest I'd rather not pay that much. Any ideas guys? Jezz.

Yes Yes Yes, I know its very rare that some one owns up and says, "Yes that was me." I wish it was me in this one. My dad saw a red Z today, and thought it was me. This is a 1999 Z in my town. I am gonna scower all the streets until I see it and am gonna get some pictures of it. Also give the owner this address, it would be nice to have one in the comunity

Hi guy's Want to sell my car, but exhaust has just started to blow, looks like i need a replacement. As i am selling the car, a second hand one will be fine. So if anybody is upgrading i'll buy your old exhaust as long as it isn't blowing. Cheers Dave.

I remember reading recently that some one said you could get clasic car insurance,who does this and have you got there details please,i did not know you could get it. thanks Chas

Buggeration. I'm skint and have to get the geometry of the car looked at. The front 2 wheels have both worn on the inside edge only and the steering wheel is off centre and needs a bit of force to keep it straight.....So I phone Nissan (Middlehurst) 'Yes we do that - £112.50 plus vat. Cough splutter! Any adjustments are extra too...Probly come near £200 mark!!!! SO I phone a few places to check further and low and behold a Vauxhall garage in St.Helens do the whole thing including vat and all adjustments for £90 'Its about 2 hours work you see' they apologised Its a sad day when I take my car to Vauxhall instead of Nissan....ha ha ha HA! Anyhow, bef…

Just to recap. Took my Z in with engine problems beginning of November, lots of faults found and the bill just keeps growing and growing. Got home from work today and found a message on my answer phone from them telling me that on close inspection it appears at least one and possibly both turbos are Fu**ed. Their catalogue states £475 for a recon stock turbo. Before I ring them back does anybody know of a better deal on turbos or maybe have decent turbos to sell? Thanks guys. Steve. Forgot to mention its a 92 UK spec auto. [This message has been edited by Steve.r (edited 17-01-2002).]

I have a airy gassy sound when I drive. At first I thought it was my turbos becasue it gets louder as I accelerate. However, it only does it in 4th gear. I have tried it in 1st, 2nd 3rd and 5th and all dont make a sound. Its just 4th gear? I dont think its the turbos, cos I can accelerate and the sound gets louder, I then let off, let the turbo spool down, and if I accelerate hard again, the noise goes straight back to how it was, before the turbos have time to spool up. The sound cold also be compaired to when you shake a light bulb and you get a gassy rattle. Its like that but quite loud. Please any ideas?

Press the brake pedal? The last time I remember doing this I seem to remember the car gradually slowing down. However, this morning on my way to work this did not happen and the pedal hit the deck. "OH SHIT" SPRUNG TO MIND. Luckily I wasn't going to fastbut talk about being snookered. I was 2miles from work, ready for work and without my tools. So RAC and Nissan were the only thing I could do to remedy the situation. This is the price you pay for not knowing the area. Am waiting for a phone call from Nissan to see what the extent of the damage is. Hope I can claim off my Waurranty. Boo Hoo!

OK, can anyone out there explain the physics of detonation to me? This has no bearing on my Z and is purely out of interest to satisfy my own curiosity. Why does detonation occur because of lean conditions and not rich conditions. In my ignorance I would have thought putting extra fuel into a hot place would be more likely to cause premature combustion than putting less fuel in. This is apparently not the case but I would be interested to know why this is. Also, I think I'm correct in saying that advancing the ignition too much causes detonation. If detonation is the fuel igniting at the wrong point, it would occur to me that igniting it sooner is going to be be…

Being a hard up member of the forum, Z money is running out.....well it's run out! My exhaust has finally given up the ghost and is blowing like a prostitute with £20 in her hand (or should that be dick?) I need to do something ASAP as the Z although throaty sounding now needs to have it's pipes replaced and I'm skint! Any ideas? Will do the washing up at Johhny's for ever if he wants Cheers guys, Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Guys, I had a vibration under the car, just about under my seat are and it was driving me nuts. Then over the last couple of days my exhaust which was blowing a little has now decided to blow alot from the back of the drivers side rear box, the vibrations have stopped, was the fact that my exhaust was on it's way out the cause of my vibrations? Sounds stupid I know but....... Oh and anyone know where I can get an exhaust on the cheap side of cheap? (times are hard!) Will the blowing exhaust do any damage of any type to the car? Anything I can do as a quick fix for a bit? Help........ Matty. ------------------ …

My Z's been pulling to the left for quite a while now. Not seriously but just enough to annoy you when trying to drink a can of Pepsi, talk on your phone and adjust your crotch, all at the same time as trying to steer with your knees. The pull is while cruising in a straight line, not while braking. I've had a four wheel alignment done, changed the tyres and had new brakes during this time. None of this has made a difference. Middlehurst (careful Timmy) have had a look and can't suggest anything useful. Anyone got any ideas?
