Erm.. Left my lovely Z alone for three weeks whilst away on biz in the US, and when I started her (second crank) she was VERY lumpy and sounded like she was missing for a about half a minute or so, gave a gentle blip (after about a min at idle), and then she was fine. BUT the TAPPY noise has'ant gone away, oil pressure is between 2-3 on the (jap) gauge and doesan't seem to move too much whatever! (not unusual for my car) No smoke, but apart from the 'ticking' everything else seems OK! HELP!! ANY IDEAS GUYS? Went to have the centre section of the exhaust replaced today, so now ALL I can hear is the bloody Ticking! Sounds pretty load from under the car too!

I have a few interesting pictures that I want to upload for all to see. How do I do it. Tim

Hi Guyz, If you read one of my previous postings you will know that I've been to see my supplier for the clothing. In my posession I not only have the 2nd batch of clothing, so if you've been waiting, it's on the way. But, I also have a couple of sample jackets. The jackets would be a higher value item, approx £110 - £130. At present I would offer 2 styles in various colours. Before I go too far down this road what is the feeling? Anyone seriously interested? I'm probabally looking at them being embroydered in a couple of places this time; potentially on the left hand breast, upper arm and poss. across the yoke at the back. I'll post a number of p…

Oh dear..Oh dear I have just finished reading (and throughly enjoying)the thread on the supra forum where our very own Mr Turbo makes his grand enterance. There they all were having polite chit chat when WHAM! in comes Timmy with his unique style and flair and creates a new world record by offending the most people with only two posts. Looking at their forum I dont think they have come across anyone like Mr Turbo before and certainly didnt know how to take him. And you got told off BIG STYLE Timmy old chap Just incase anyone missed it...... ********** Timmy, This maybe a chit chat area but we still try to use good English and manners. Ple…

Some of you may have seen this some of you may not. This is basically a 10Gb hard drive for the car, it holds about 3000 tracks and can be used with any existing car radio. Music is downloaded from your PC then stuck in the car. It`s smaller than any CD changer and works with an FM modulater set up. The small display unit is about the same size as an AVC-r (for those of you with one) approx 4"x2" These units are being sold for around £500-£550.00, I can do them at £450.00 with postage if you are interested. www.my-mstation.com for more details.

I was talking to the Tec guy at Snooper the other day and he mentioned about places to mount the radar detectors. Some that are mounted towards the bottom of the dash but removed for security reasons leaving the suckers in place have been known to mark the dash, as the suckers act as a small prism and can burn the dash!! So, if you have them move them up a bit or remove the suckers when you take it out of the car!! Bob

Secret Life of Us on CH4 been on 30 mins but there's a couple of Z's in it.

Hi I need a bit help, I have a leak on my radiator so i took it to the dreaded nissan dealer they did a compression test on which showed it to be knackered so they quoted me £350 plus vat, After a bit ringing round MJP (Mike feeney )got me one from his nissan supplier for £200 so i dont now were the f*** my local dealer got his price anyway i collect the car and ask if its ok to drive they say yeah as long as you watch water level so off i go home to find myself half way home on the hard shoulder overheating i stopped it as i dont want any damage so i waited till it cooled down, When it had cooled down a bit and level was ok i put a bottle of water i had in then set of…

I've just got back from a few days away and I've been looking for the Trax photos of all you pozey dudes in yer 300 clothing Any pics been posted guyz? Tim

Im also looking for uk spec clocks any ideas?

Rang up Nissan today about new rear anti-roll bar bushes and droplink bushes, ok, £6 & £2.50ea but the axel beam bushes they say cant be bought alone, I have to buy rear floor sub frame, with bushes in it. Is this right? Or what have you lot done, as the sub frame is over £600!!!!!! Another question: Will Jap dampers fit a UK car, as mine are knackered? Cheers Harve.

Go to corsasport.co.uk and goto the forum and just rip the SHIT out of them. All they talk about is "What is the maxium size alloy can I get on" "My blacked out windows look cool" "What lowering kit can I get?" "Green side light, yipee" Just go on there and rip into them. They know nothing about performance, style or life. They spend more than I do on buying the car and even more on moding it and it still looks like a Corsa and drives like every other Corsa on the road Finished moaning now Stuart

Pah, Soup DragonZ forum or should I say BBS(before I get told off for calling it by its wrong name) is hard work! LMAO! Mat Lad, couple of girlies on there, Francesca and Supragirl who may well have been out on the track with you GIRLZ on Sunday...he he he! Haaappparently they were driving real slow aswell...ROFL... Anyway, I got told off for using swear words in post...WTF? Yep, slap wrist, I got told to put a $ or a & or a * in to disguise the fact that I was using my foul mouth! Ummmmmmmmm! Obviously the Soup Dragon brigade are somewhat upperclass to us Nelson commonerZ...ha ha ha! We're a friendly lot on here, but they just snub and take the pi…

Just got a letter from Telematix, the company that is suposedly tracking my car 24/7, which states that they're in "voluntary receivership". My first thought ... oh shit, I hope their service is taken over by someone else 'coz with all these carjackings going on in B'ham I'm crapping myself everytime I drive through the rough neighbourhoods. So I decide to call their customer services: no answer, just keeps ringing. Next stop, sales dept: no answer, finally dialled the theft hotline (which you're meant to ring when your car's nicked) and to my astonishment there is no answer either! At this point I need to change my pants ... I paid the installer £500 for the equipment an…

I'm running 16psi, JWT ECU, HKS Drager, K&N/JWT Cone type filter. What BHP am I likely to be getting because this thing seems way quicker than I was expecting since fitting the boost upgrade. I've noticed on the JWT site they recon 380BHP at about 12psi with their boost jets but I don't have those, only the Blitz DSBC. Anyone got a similar setup and had it tested?

Haqs anyone fitted a baby seat in the rear of yer Z. My baby is 10 months and being a jap import its a nightmare using the front seat because of the door seat belts. If so what model as most I have seen are too large.

Our car is far from perfect. Mostly little things which really gets on my whick. Tell every one what is the most annoying thing about your Z. I start The passenger seat goes all the way back after letting some in the back Stuart

Right, this may sound like a rediculous question...but are the Turbos active in reverse gear? If so, how fast is the fastest you can go in reverse...LOL??? If so, what's the max. boost you can pull going backward? Tim ;-)

Does anyone know where I can get more details about how the BlitZ ID Meter works or what it does? I asked Warren but he just replies with "it looks really good in my car and it does things which are really great!" LOL! LIKE WHAT THEN????????? Is there a website with more techy descriptions of functions etc.??? And no, Blitz UK website doesn't have it on there yet! CheerZ chapZ Tim ;-) P.S. SE are now just waiting for the wiring loom to come in from Nelson and me car will be ready! Yipeee!
