Does anyone have any experience with Energy Suspension rear control arm bushings to advise on the ride quality compared to oem (or equivalent)? I appreciate they will naturally stiffen things up a fair bit after old worn bushings, but the CZP website displays a bold warning that these ES bushes (only on the rear control arms, they're fine everywhere else) make the ride 'harsh' and to go for nismo or oem to maintain any sort of ride quality. Any advice welcomed, cheerZ :)

Has anyone tried this new "colonic irrigation" fuel system flush, as seen on Wheeler Dealers, and now advertised by Ed? What's your verdict? ...and while we're on that topic, I'm sure I watched one where Ed was promoting some stuff that replaces water in the rads?? Not sure about that one, personally... Still waiting to see Ed get his head 'round a Z though...:lol:

Hi i was wondering to get rid of my two back boxes and replacing them with 4x 3" pipes without the back boxes. would it be TOO loud or am i gona be ok? i dont mind the V6 growl but dont want it sounding to extreme especially on the motorway etc.. Is there any clip on youtube that has a pipe same as so i can see/listen?

Well today I thought I would clean up all the dust from having my kit fitted etc. and whilst vacuuming the front drivers carpet I noticed it was damp??? This boggled me as the car is kept in a garage for the past year along with it also being started occasionally. What would cause this or is the normal problem associated to this. John.

Ok so I've got laquer peel on my red zed is there anyway to get rid of this without a respray, can I not flat it back with say 800 wet and dry follow it up with 1200 or 1500 then compound polish it all back up?

not all the time but sometimes when coming down from speed to a junction or roundabout the car just looses ignition and cuts out ..it starts straight away but can be disconcerting as the power steering goes as do the power brakes .....happens when i dip the clutch 9 times out of ten a pop of the clutch instantly starts it back up again ..dip the cluctch and its ok ..what do you reckon Throttle position sensor? the car idles ok but shows 1900 - 2000 rpm on the tacho ( this has been a long standing problem ) even though its more like 800 900 rpm ....flumoxed with this one :(

When my ignition is on there is a fan noise that I have never heard before coming from behind the map light panel between the targa panels, I unclipped the light panel just to have a look at what it was the noise is coming from, what is it? Why is mine now noisy? (And dusty)??

I saw a quick flash of a lwb white zx , turning left off lincoln road fly over on to the meridian way road.

Just a quick one, removed wiper arms and now can remember which way they go back on. Is it long arm on passenger side?

Interesting zed breakdown in the workshop this morning, was pre-booked as had some poor starting and running issues and a flashing a/t light at start up. The owner made the good decision to stay over Friday night so we could see how it performed when cold, so I popped up to the local hotel armed with the ConZult and set about preparations before starting the engine. So two codes were stored, afm and an 02 sensor heater wire fail, whilst looking at these codes with the ignition on I became aware of the very pungent smell of fuel! now I have seen the normal loose fuel lines hundreds of times but this was like been in a petrol station when they are having a delive…

well was doing some work removing EGR and the bloody 12mm long reach socket dropped down the rear pipe and into the snail shell of my drivers side turbo...... I have tried a magnet on wire, wire, everything I can think of and cannot get it out..... stripped the front pipe off and can see blades.... Removed elbow, removed all but 1 manifold nut and washer... can't get to it due to the inlet being in the way, can't seem to get to the 4 bolts holding the turbo to the manifold..... Any idea's..... my arms and hands hurt from trying to get to these bolts...... I was actually going well till this bloody nightmare.... Can you rotate the inlet side of the turbo so I c…

Something that I have been meaning to do for some time now, is remove a redundant pager that had been spliced into my alarm system. It had also been spiced into my audio antena. Can anyone advise me as to if there are male to female connectors available please? I do not want to splice back together as previously. Hope someone can help.

as above ive aquired some spares from a mate who removed them all from a crashed import tt... this car came from japan with these parts fitted!!!! these are now on my car and has made quite a bit of difference to the way it drives a pair of Arc intercoolers an Arc airbox chipped ecu (which has a genuine nissan remanufactured ecu plaque ( 2371M41P14... A18-000MC9K... 5919 )on it. on inspection of the internals between the this ecu and the one i removed from my car, the small board that sits inside is totally different to the chipped ecu we removed from the car.also the chip has a red led incorporated in it)?????

hi can anyone tell me what all the gauges should be reading on conzult when i plug my car in? cheers

Hi When I brought my car a done the 60k service parts i brought these plugs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130740731902?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D130740731902%26_rdc%3D1 what gaps should these be set at as i have a misfire and want to rule these out cheers

Hi Mark, First time I've ever contacted you I think :wacko: I have a small project in mind, part of which involves removing my CD head unit and replacing with a USB or iPod-only head unit, i.e. one without a CD-loading mechanism and therefore not 2-foot deep! I'm thinking about relocating the head unit elsewhere in the car; where it goes depends on the sort of sizes available although I suspect most of them will be DINs or double DINs. I'm guessing they would require separate/external amps. Would you be aware of a list of such head units that are currently available, in particular any which are non-DIN-size if they even exist? Cheers for any help Mark, Da…

The symptoms Only does it when engine is up to temp Appears to be near side bank as the exhaust that side spits and shakes lumpy when up to temp Very light throttle then clears up as the revs rise slightly The lighter the throttle the more violent the mis/hesitation So far; Changed the spark plugs Swapped the coil packs side to side Checked the injectors have resistance all the same as each other Checked and cleaned all plugs inc lambda, water temp, throttle position injector and coil pack What now?

Do you think this is repairable somehow - Maybe some kind of rubber adhesive? I mean is it really that bad anyway? If I hadn't pulled on it I would even have noticed! I know, I know, not replacing is when the engine it out would be crazy...but I'm spending way to much money at the moment, so could do without spending money on this.

Hi everyone, My air leak weas fixed this week finally, WOHOO!!! turned out to be some kind of bypass pipe or something?... all the way from the manifold down to the something or other... had to take radiator out and everything to get to it! I was hoping this would fix my rough idle/misfire, but alas it is still there :( When I unplug the MAF the rough idle goes completely, could this just be a dodgy MAF??.. If so does anyone have one I could borrow and/or potentially buy in order to test this theory?.. Would love to test this out before actually buying the part as I know this can be a long road of buying a number or parts to try and find the culprit! …
