Logged onto the Driven web site to pen a few words about last nights 'affordable' supercar, the NSX. I got a little sidelined, there's a write up on the 350Z on the site so I guess it might be on our screens soon - hopefully All under £24K www.4car.co.uk Tim

Does anybody know where the check valve is, or is it attached to the fuel pump,I've had a look at the disc manual and can't find it

Where is the check valve located for the fuel pressure , as my zedTT is loosing rest pressure straight away as soon as I turn the engine off.Pressure I'm getting is 42psi running, disconnected regulator vac pipe and it goes up to 52psi so pump pressure is ok.but within a minute after shut down it goes to zero, checked for any leaks and can't find any of the usual leaking pipes?? this is probably why it takes some starting (longer cranking over than normal)

ip is 217.36.10.242 See ya there, Andy

Anyone see that just? I thought it was crap, no japs in there at all, but apart from that after. He suggested an NSX, why? They dont look as good as a 300 or supra and they dont have as much grunt either?? He was having an orgasm over it having Power steering and an auto box in 1992!! Id like for one of these days a TV show with ppl that know their stuff. Oh yeah just come to me, he said a mid 90's NSX would come in at 37,000 quid!!!! WTF!

On saturday did i see you change your boost jets? If so where did you put-em. & do you only use 1? As i read you gotta use 2! Im going for the in-line tips aswell to keep up with my overfueling problem, any input you can give. Cheers harve.

Following the RR day and the disapointment I had suffered (well documented elsewhere)I contacted 3 other rolling road companies.All three confirmed the incorrect method that was used on the day for the auto`s and hence I do feel vidicated somewhat. However having been contacted by a forth operator tonight I am sure the information he provided me is gonna shock you. I have quoted him below and he clearly stated that the only true way to get an uncorrupted bhp figure is in a transmitted gear as close to 1:1 ratio as possible, and that any deviation from this leads to either artificialy low or high figures.So you ask why the problem? well guys the arse operator tested the ma…

hello mate can you tell me more about your front discs ive sourced some through work free of course, what is the diameter and depth of them. or do they have a part number on them. i asked for R33 discs they then wanted chassis number to make sure they were the right ones. made a few different ones apparently between 95 and 98, even if you can tell me the year of the car it would help. cheers "desperate dan"....LOL

Hi, just wondered if anyone knew how to take the yellow plastic bulb out of the indicator lenses to make it clear. Cheers Mark Hanley

Where the waste gate lines are, is it the two pipes off the lower turbo air feed. Before i commit hari-cari on them harve

Anyone got one???? Please!!!!!!!

The manual box in my 300zx TT has allways whined a bit but over the last few weeks i've noticed this weird sort of squeeky whine, over and above the normal gearbox noise, which is inconsistent in duration and only seems to be apparent when the car is cold. and commonly at around 1500-2000 rpm I cannot seem to pinpoint the exact source of the noise but it appears to be around the box area. If, when i hear the noise, i maintain the throttle position and dip the clutch--the noise continues but dies with the car speed. Any ideas!!

Hi Guy's After having claimed on my insurance for would you believe, Hailstone Storm Damage. Yeah!! it dented every panel on the car!!£1600 of damage. Now fixed. Got my renewal through and insurance had increased to £770 fully comp!!. After ringing around the best quote i got was with Privelege £570. So i ring my insurers back to tell them i had a better quote and they go and beat it!!! £559 Fully Comp!!. Cheers Dave.

OK here it goes, 90 TT Auto (bog standard), drives fine, does not overheat but stop the car, turn it off and low and behold it will leak coolant! Tried flushing the system for air locks. Compression is OK on all six. If the car runs off boost it will run all day quite happy - BUT give it full boost and it will start to dump coolant. Help I'm getting depressed.

Hello chaps, At the dyno day a few of you, Harve springs to mind, had made some wire mesh to sit on the front dam. Where can you purchase this stuff and how much is it? Did you rivet it on or is there another way? Thanks.

Just venting my spleen ... My Zed failed its MOT big stlyee. Excessive play in rear track rod ends (which prpbably explains the squiffy handling and accelerated tyre wear (S03's with 3k on them wearing like buggery)) The biggest expense was two corroded brake lines which they had to remove the sub frame to replace (6 hours labour for a £10 part !!!!) Still, when my wife collected it this morning at least the bill was three figures not four, Just! £996.... There goes my upgrade plan till next year. Still, on the bright side I did get to drive a courtesy Micra for 5 days ... On a serious note, does anyone know of a good mech/garage in …

ANy offers for an Auto box with knackered planet gear? The rest of the box is OK. I just want to get rid so any offers considered. I also have the gear changer & computer module. Shaun
