Mine is missing (?) not sure when , where or how but it's not in there anymore Would the fact that this is missing be the cause of my not having any brake lights at all? *in fact the lights have gone a bit manic at the moment, the inicators work but flash quickly, the headlights are on full beam only (irrespective of switch position, no side lights in either position) This car needs to have a word with itself or else it's going down range and getting fragged!!!

I've just had a close up inspection of the pair of turbos that are sat on my workbench and there seems to be a bit of a difference inside in as much as the one propellor looks to be smaller than the other? both move freely with no play whatsoever but this one looks to be slightly larger than this one They are both GT675RS... any ideas?

My SWB TT came from the factory with the new electric HICAS and therefore was fitted with an NA power steering pump rather than the usual TT power steering pump with hydraulic HICAS solonoid/TT PAS pot etc. The electric HICAS has since been removed and I've noted that there is not a PAS cooler fitted to these models as standard. I've now mounted a PAS cooler but am trying to determine the correct connection points on the NA power steering pump for the two hose connections that run to the cooler. Could somebody post up a pic if their NA power steering pump showing where the PAS cooler hose connections are please thanks

Just out of interest more than anything (because the ABS is going anyway) I'm trying to figure what is up with the ABS system on my SWB. Ever since swapping the stock rears for 6 pots the pedal feel is really soft, in fact the brakes near as damn it don't work. Now the brakes have been bled thoroughly (twice) and all is fitted correctly (new copper washers and banjo bolts etc) but there seems to be something up with the ABS unit behind the drivers seat. When the engine is ticking over and the brake pedal is pressed, the revs drop ever so slightly by a few hundred RPM. The brake pedal is really soft and there seems to be a quiet hiss sound coming from the ABS unit be…

I have a problem with audio noise. I have installed indiglo dials from http://www.moman.pl . I have a bit of dynamo noise, but the real problem is noise when I turn on the lights - that would be the indiglo dials that goes on. When the audio is on I get a high pitch noise that is constant. Anyone have any good ideas..... - tried running phonocabels outside the car - did not help - tried earthing the amp do a different place. Also directly from battery- did not help - tried another amp - same problem - tried remove the cd-player - when moving the player I sometimes got tid of the noise - earth together maybe?

Hi I have Nissan 300zx and I am thinking off pulling the engine out to fit my GT2860 tubs! Other than a PCV kit replace and an airfilter I haven't performed any kind of mechanical work on my zed, so has anyone on here ever taken their engine out??? Just want a bit of feedback to see what i'm up against

Is anybody on here running a pair of HKS GT2510 turbos? and what power figures could be expected as I'm informed that they are quite a bit smaller than 2530's/GT675RS for example

I can't lie I found this on the Aus site. Watch it from 1 min and 10 secs in :thumbup1: [YOUTUBE]Gt3DHpOY6i8[/YOUTUBE]

An engine we swapped for a customer early part of the year due to low compression on number 6 cyliner was stripped today to salvage usuable parts, all went according to plan until Jamie found a quite unexpected extra lurking with in the inlet tracts to no 6 cylinder. Quite difficult to see what it was, it was also trapped under the valve quite tightly but with the head removed it was easier to see what it was, still it needed a little persausion to come loose.... Now extracted fully it looks like a bike tyre removal lever?? goodness knows how this got to the position it had, fair to speculate that in the past whilst the plenum was of…

does anyone know the best way to polish out small scratches on the centre rear panel between the lights, ive got a spare in very good condition that im toying a new idea with but has slight scratches on it, and i want to get it back to perfect. saw a vid on youtube using toothpaste on clear plastic bmw head lights, have tried that and its better but not spot on. I dont want to try super fine wet and dry as it will scratch it more Any thoughts

I got racelogic traction control in my car. I got one yellow wire left to go to injectors. How i should connect is just a one wire but its six injectors.So how should I do?

Used to be Danny @ DTA and Smithy too I believe but can't see them trading on here anymore - I may be looking int he wrong place if it's all been moved? Where do people go for their spark plugs nowadays? Looking to get my hands on some new NGK PFR6B-11Cs... Thanks Vig

Under very hard braking my z violently shakes. I have read worn tension rod bushes can cause this!? Can someone post a diagram to show location? Also, I read to spot a bad bush there is normally liquid coming from them, is this true? Thanks, Dan

anyone seen this before, particularly the front bumper and headlights and centre panel? anyone know who made's them? kinda put some ideas in my head. really tempted to get the fibreglass out and see what i can make... really like the ideas of the headlights.

What size pipe do i need for the plenum bypass..is it 6 or 8mm.

I bought a front mount intercooler and installed it and now the car sounds like it is choking on air. The RPMs won't go over 2,000 and it sounds like it drowns itself in petrol. I have no idea why this is happening can anyone help. :(

NA on Ebay Whos been bidding on it .. owner says the buys have not been turning up for it ? told him i come and collect it at the last sale price ... ha .. says No so its not that ppl havent been turning up .. its selling under the price he wants and then i assume hes contacting the buyer wanting more what a tosser for any one that was interested i would avoid ... the SELLER is a Time Waster http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290793302174?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I've been hunting for a 300 ready for next month when I get rid of my Scoob. I was after a turbo, but thinking I may settle on a non turbo. Can anyone give me a heads up for the performance difference? I can't find any official figures anywhere. Some say 170bhp for na but others say 222bhp and 280 or 300bhp for turbos. 0-60 in 7s for na and 5.5s for turbos. Also what's the spec differences between the UK's and imports. I can't insure an import yet but would be nice to know. And one other thing, if I got a non turbo, what are they like to convert to turbo? Is Sorry if this seems totally newbie but I've never really looked at 300's :D

OK I've also been looking for some alloys to replace the 19" Antera ones that are currently on my car (the Antera's were not in the best of condition when I bought it) What I am looking for is some high gloss black/silver ones, as that will fit in well with the colour scheme of the car once it's resprayed I've been down to a couple of local retailers, one was pretty helpful too. Of the limited choice of 19" alloys in gloss black/silver that he says would fit over the calipers were these RS Futura at a bit over £600 (see first pic below) They are rather nice IMHO but I woudn't mind something a bit more dramatic like the DOTZ Hanzo (2nd pic below) but …

has anyone got photos of teh stock turbos with all the coolant lines attached, i didnt think it would take me this long to get this far and ive forgotten which pipes go where. and which direction etc
