I cannot inflate the rear tyres, I have (I think) Lamborghini wheels fitted (or similar) fronts inflate ok..rear valves will not open...tried valve extenders, taken to "tyre specialist" they said contact Lamborghini direct, they could not remove the valve inner (they did try).... Any suggestions most welcome...

Can anyone possibly lay there hands on a copy of City Slikers 2 Search for Curleys Gold. I just want to watch it again. CheerZ Johnny

Is there a facility where you can show a counter for the number of times the forum is accessed as opposed to the number of postings? Maybe put a counter somewhere to show how popular the forum is getting? Steve

Has anybody, or does anybody know how to modify the windscreen wiper control system such that it will perform a single sweep ? Intermittent is OK, but sometimes a single sweep is all that is required. Using the washers creates several sweeps, the last of which is always unnecessary. I guess it's closely linked but it always annoys me that it does a final sweep when you turn them off too - if I turn something off I expect it to go off, not prove to me that it still works ! Fixing this would likely solve the problem.

Anyone have any contacts for decent replacement hardware, namely Bolts, Most of my usuall suppliers seem to be on the ball with washers, nuts and Hose clamps but the lack of bolts is concern, im looking for mid to large sizes,mainly for this such as Drive Line and Exhaust Bolts as well as some from the Down pipes and manifolds. Recommendations ? Cheers Z ya Nico91TT

Scanned pubs map, too confusing - and I live in MK (well one of us has to!) So its much more eye friendly if you go to www.streetmap.co.uk and put in post code mk7 8hp this will give anyone in the uk the exact location. Pan out and follow the arrow, it even shows a windmill!, print off all that you need. WARNING: Those of you that don't carry a radar scan etc, Area leading to MK is fearse! Aylesbury, 8 Gatsos. A41 2, Buckingham 2, Leighton Buzzard 4, M1 to MK 1, A5 2 hidden behind sighns. A pointless !!! journey is a wallet and insurance friendly journey. MK has none that I know off ! ! ! Be carefull the most flashes buys the beer! Any more info needed! Jus…

...which are the best pads for the stock brake setup?(my car's an NA, so I don't need to upgrade the discs)

I would just like to say thanks to Pete R for putting himself into the firing line like he has. I'm not trying to take sides or anything like that in any of the ongoing debates that may be going on, i just want to show my respect for what he has done. To come on here and openly ask for criticism, as well as feedback, on his company, service and staff was a brave thing to do. Personally, i hope he becomes a more regular poster, and would welcome the occasional Tech Tip ;) Craig

Anyone who want to upgrade to a bigger ball bearing type turbo made by HKS and capable of producing over 600hp but still being perfectly usable for normal driving.... There could be a place in the GB available if you want to jump in now. Email me for specs and further details. Serious enquiries only please. Steve

Nico. Please contact me ASAP. Ref: Steve.E upgrades. Steve will try to get hold of Jez, but if you can please ask him to speak to either Steve or myself. CheerZ Johnny @ Grasshopper 01942-671239

As the general forum is getting a higher and higher turnover, some of the upcoming events and sale/purchase requests are getting lost down the list. So, we are creating a couple more forums for us to use. For Sale and Wanted - does this really need explaining how it works ? ;0 Events - This is to advertise upcoming events, give information about them, and for people to show interest in attending. I will fill in as much info as possible when i start them off later. Craig

I have been searching insurance from various places and my best quote was £820.00, Not bad for the 300TT I want (which i'm off to view in a bit). Just for information, I'm 27, 4 years NCB and live in a 'good' area (according to the insurance people) Is this a good quote? What do you guy's pay? (and who with) Thanks Matty.

At last, just got word that the GT2530 turbo's in the tt.net GB are on route. Might have them fitted just in time for the dyno tun.... whenever that is! Steve

Whilst changing the waterpump cause of a leak, more disapointment, I have discovered that the bearings have gone in the alternator and also the power steering pump. Also I can pull the front of the power steering pump out so fluid leaks every where is this normal? Has anyone got either parts in working order for sale. It is a jap car so I think the alternator is different size to UK, is this correct?

I recently posted a query asking advice on replacing the clutch on my Z (2 seat NA). I was worried that I could get a part that didn't fit. Someone posted: 'it should fit the only difference with your car is the chassis. it shorter than ours' The part I ordered through Nissan based on the chassis numebr didn't fit, so I've just been back down there to pick up a different one while my Z has sat in pieces overnight at the garage. I got the part number off the old clutch cover. A point to remember is that not all Z clutches fit all Zs. Just thought I'd mention it. Andy

You aren't very adventurous are you? http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=566827966 ;-) Andy p.s. was there some kind of Red Z meet in Bushey last Saturday? I saw three driving in convoy. Anyone from here?

I have seen some pics of a Z I like, So I contacted the owner and spoke to him about various things and I suggested that I would get it checked out (nothing wrong in that I thought) But when I asked him for the VIN mumber he refused......Why? Am I in the wrong or has he something to hide? Or do I not need the VIN number? ....Help!! I only want to buy a Z.....

Does anyone know if the driver and passenger seats can be swopped to reduce wear? If not what about the backrest section only? Cheers
