Need to do an oil change next week and i need to buy an oil filter, who can provide?? :biggrin:

I have recently swapped out my OEM downpipes for Japspeed stainless ones, leaving only the cast elbows with catalytic material. I then fitted 2 new 02 sensors. (both existing ones were tested to be dud.) No big deal I thought. So decided to tax her and take her for a spin. Once warm, I could not resist giving her some beans on a familiar stretch of road. WOW what a difference, it really did catch me by surprise! the rear started twitching through second and third and the sensation of raw speed was amazing. Had to back out of it and tucked her away in the garage to calm down. How could this really have made such a difference?

Nice to meet you today mate, sorry couldnt chat much more due to the lazy mare wanting take out delivery of chips. Hope the boot carpet and skirts are of help to you. When i get my zed back i will drive over and see you. Stu

What would cause the car to kangaroo? That's the best explanation I have or it anyway. Often when I'm slowing doen in gear, or perhaps tickling the throttle at fairly low speeds, it feels like the car (or engine at least) is kangarooing so to speak. Any ideas what would cause this?

Can anyone confirm that this looks like the appropriate approach per the instructions for these energy suspension rear subframe bushes? Looks as if the rubber is going to give way before the bushing even thinks about moving ... Instructions say: Push from bottom towards top ... push on inner sleeve ... do not press out collar which had rubber ring bonded to it ... so this looks like correct approach? Press: Instructions: Thanks

I really like the idea of getting some wheel spacers for when i fit my coilovers. unsure of size yet but was liking the idea of 25mm for the front, and 15mm for the back. However two of my friends are trying their hardest to talk me out of it. both are mechanics and one of which is an m.o.t tester so i am inclined to say they know what they're on about. They believe it is a bad idea due to the extra stress they would put on wheel bearings, as well as the extra inertia due to the weight that would make it harder to break. when i said they would be aluminium from eBay that convinced them even less claiming they'd be week as piss. I also had a major problem with wheel shake …

anyone know if you can adjust the clutch mine bites as soon as you lift it from the floor i would rather a little higher

Hey, can anyone tell me whether the wire harnesses for the NA and turbo are identical? For example, if I was installing an NA engine in a previously turbo shell that already has the wiring intact, can I use the existing harness? (Replacing ECU etc with the NA one of course). Cheers! :)

Just a quick help needed, I just need to know the stock Z32 wheel stud length if someone knows doesn't have to be the full length from behind the hub, just the length of the exposed/external part of the stud on which the wheel is mounted, will save me pulling the car out and jacking it up etc Thanks :)

i am wanting the car 2knock out about 450 comfortably while not drinking to much juice, the car is now running at 405 on boost alone with standard injectors which i've being told is a big nono, the engine which has covered 30000 miles throw a rod outer lower end and is going to a mechanic to be rebuilt so i'm thinking i might aswell put a few added extras while its in bits. so out of experience could someone tell me what i'd possibility get in the £500 range in parts and also the £1000 range if i do decide to go all out for the 450bhp target
