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?

Somebody posted an article some time ago about getting FORGE to make up some big ICs. well i have been in contact with them and they have made some up for a guy who is running a 600HP a race Z. This guy had to modify his car to get them in but Forge say that they will be obtaining some standard Z ICs on tuesday that they can measure and use to modify the spec for standard fitting. My cash is waiting--if anybody else is interested then let me know so i can put in an order and we should be able to get a good price on each unit. Email is: andrew.denyer@vf.vodafone.co.uk

Can anyone recommend a good place to get alignment/tracking/camber etc checked out ? As the place I already tried had never seen 4ws before ...!! I live in the Reading area.

COMPLETELY. Why are we provoking these guys. We are inviting people like Porker. We never had this kind of shit 2 years ago and I'm sure Craig and Nico are fed up of asking people to behave themselves and keep to the etiquette of the forum. Just my view peeps Andy

hi guys, i am thinking about getting some wheels, i want a set of 18s is it possible to fit 10*18 on the back or is that too wide?

Hi all. I'm thinking about keeping my car now, if I do decide to, i'm going to treat it to a few bits and bobs, i'm rather happy with the performance of it at the moment, so I think I want to tweak the looks. First I think is a nice set of new allows. Does anyone know a good web site where I can see a selection of wheels with fitted prices Thanks Also, how about body kits, any good sites for those? Matt

Showing my nievity a little bit, but in the buying guide it suggests you get a compresstion test done. What's that all about and what readings should you get!?! Thanks, -Stu

Hiiii everyone, Big Gay Al here just dropping by to say hi to all you guys and to tell you about my new fantastic car. I have a lovely supra which is detailed in pink leather. I really think this car enhances my image - I tried a 300 but it just made me look too masculine.... Oh well, off to make love with the supra guys now cos that's what I hear they like.... Bye for now.......

Experts: 'Gigger' worm moving slowly January 15, 2002 Posted: 9:53 AM EST (1453 GMT) January 15, 2002 Posted: 9:53 AM EST (1453 GMT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- A new computer worm masquerading as a software update from Microsoft Corp. is capable of deleting all files on the hard drive of an infected computer but has so far spread very slowly, an antivirus vendor said Monday. The so-called "Gigger" worm is a low threat since so few computers have been infected, said Vincent Gullotto, senior research director for Network Associates Inc.'s Antivirus Response Team.…

Take a look in my rides section if your interested...........

Was it Andy? I dont know. If so which one? Any way my clock usually works, once before it didnt work but after about 10 mins it started. Its done it again. But it will prob work again in the morning. Either way I would like it fixed before it gets worse. So who is it and how much? CheerZ Stuart

Can someone please tell me what my auto 91 NA Z should idle at when warm and in gear? currently it is a little rough round 600 when warm, 1000 when cold. how do I adjust the idle?

I was going to put it in the thread in question, but it's been locked. Ah well. I just wanted to say sorry for what I posted last night. I wasn't exactly sober, and while I don't actually remember posting the message! I must have just been wound up by what Andyduff wrote, and while I'm not exactly pleased by his comments I think I over-reacted a little bit. Thanks to those guys that showed sympathy though - it's appreciated.

Just tripped over this on the Z-car-digest http://zdriver.com/forums/showthreaded.php?Board=z32&Number=6420 It describes how to replace the matt black roof/windscreen trim that seems to have suffered on many cars these days.

following a cancellation by a customer found I had and afternoon to myself so fitted my new Green Stuff pads,and changed the brake fluid. Got to say that despite the pads not bedded in yet the feel is much better maybe a result of the fluid change? that itself was a surprise,the master cylinder fluid looked ok but the crap dark brown fluid that came out of the the calipers was disgusting. Will evaluate and post an update, I might add the disc`s are quite new so bedding in should be fairly quick. Jeff TT

gutted cats today and ground out restrictor washers from exhaust today, (the ones just at the beginning of the mid section, on me jap import. blimey what a difference this made, noticeable low down power turbo kicks in with more force. i really cannot belive the difference this mod has made. all that i need now is for me breather kit to arrive for the weekend and i will fit me ECU and boost jets. this has got to be the cheapest upgrade there is.

Macca. We need numbers on our visit to the Zoo. All the animals are in cages mate. Look out for the fuckers with the long necks.

Faster than a F-14 Tomcat and twice as deadly: LMAO! ------------------ Glen :)

hey all whatcha upto ? that bloody warren been stirring shit still ? well a spell for a couple of months of spending nothing on cars has been ended by a trip to the race track and sitting inside a race prepped 300. Last night trim was flying out faster from the rear hatch than Nissan probably put it together For those with loud exhausts that get bored on a Sunday afternoon do this then go for a drive. Top of 2nd gear is just plain nasty. Going to the race track (one with corners in it not this limited skill straight line thingys) next weekend so am getting installed tomorrow: Koni Rate Adjustables King springs 30% stiffer, 30% lower non progressive…

Just read it!

Start laughing now!

Why is it taking so long for this to come out on DVD? Seeing as Final Fantasy V is out on 21st of this month I thought that F&F would be out shortly! Wrong...11th March FFS!!! Arse!!! But luckily I have a multi-region DVD player so fuck it! Gonna order it this weekend instead! Not lucky like some of you lot with ADSL and Super Bandwidth so that you can just download from the web an entire movie! LOL Posh gits!

Zed has started to play up (5 weeks of ownership) it stutters when cold and once warm it will not idle correctly and sits at 1500 rpm, ocassionally I heard a clicking noise under the bonnet (drivers side) sounds a relay going mad and the idle starts to vary 1000 -1500. The worse thing is that it does not do it all the time. I've checked the connections and all appear ok. Any ideas as to where best to start. Thanks in advance
