some1 said it could be the oil in my car that is too thin and thats why sometimes i get smoke is this true

any1 know where i can get my turbos reconditioned or new ones

Can the steering rack be changed from under the car?

Took the back wheels off this afternoon to investigate a strange noise.......:no: Pass side has been rubbing on the fuel filler gaurd The tyres are 265/35/18. Are these too wide? The rims are 18-9JJ, so the question is, do I get thinner tyres like 255? adjust the plastic gaurd or fit a spacer? The annoying thing is that I have 2 front tyres on order as I wanted to match the rear :headvswal At least I spotted it though as I wouldnt want that going pop along the motorway..

There a way to tell what year car your engine is from?

My o2 sensors are being a right pain is there any trick I can use to remove them easier? Thanks in advance, Dave.

On Monday afternoon at around 1pm i placed an order with Z1 Motorsport (Georgia, USA) for a set of series 2 to series 1 injector adaptors, with delivery by Fedex...... Well they have just arrived at 7:56am this morning!!! :) How is it that an item from halfway round the world can get here in that time.......but post something here and it takes an age to arrive??? Well done Z1 and Fedex! :)

Parked next to this today, even though I`m not a lover of skylines, thought some of you lot may like it ;)

Today I bought the Zed home from the inlaws, on a trailor. Firstly getting it on the trailor was a nightmare, rear wheels spun up on slightest touch of throttle throwing the back end out by 2-3 feet. I ended up taking a run up, 10mph, soon as rear wheels were on the ramps there was no problems. Once I got home and offloaded it, slowly but surely. I reversed it on to the drive. Again, this time in reverse the rear wheels spun up. Guessing my tyres are shockingly bad. They look brand new and have loads of tread, probably covered no more than 200 miles. I dont know the brand of my head, but they are 225/50/16's I think I could possibly fit 235's but d…

I finally got my pearl white NA started today.... some of you may have seen the thread last week saying that I had fuel but no spark... well after plenty of trawling through search results and web pages, I set to work with the multimeter today and followed things in a logical process... when I got to the ECCS relay I removed it and got a face-full of dusty corrosion from the terminals (its been relocated to underside of its usual location)... anyway I cleaned up the connections and changed the relay... struck up literally straight away, no funny noises or anything! :clap: Well pleased, I was starting to lose the will to carry on with it! :ninja: Job for tomorrow…

I was just wondering how much boost a non-chipped standard ECU map can handle safely? Assuming you've got all the other stuff like an EBC, decats, cone filter etc. Anyone have any ideas?

Came across a photo-shoot today at Goodwood, 3 guys from the Octane magazine were snapping some pics for their latest mag, Had a good chat with them and the Cobra was something special, but cant remember why, lol, they loved the vert and had never seen a true convertable 300zx before!! the Cobra is getting shipped to a show in the states next month and then back again!!!

Is it wise to change the pipes too when doing the PCV's? Is the blue hosing tht people get good enough? And do I need specific sizes?

Hi all, Anyone around to give me a hand with working on the Z this Saturday coming? I have a stainless exhaust to fit aswell as a new PAS high pressure hose. I live in the evercreech area (BA4 postal code.)

Epic day of my journey today,toooo much to type!! but god I`m loving this trip!! so its guess time again :D Where the hell am i ? :) My counter on the car has just gone past 1000k today after leaving home!!

Just been and had my Zed washed Went to the shop got a new bottle of wax and some cloths. Get home ready to shine her up and it starts to rain :(

I found this interesting article on the TT engine and the vast differences it has to the NA engine and thought it may be of interest- http://www.autospeed.com/A_109870/cms/article.html Before I get shouted down that it is elsewhere, if it is, heyho, but it still might be of interest to others on here.

Ok, so I need to look at having my car mapped. What should I do to prep the car in advance of having it done? Tell me everything lol

Hi everyone, Im very close to getting the car undersealed by JR Classics in Doncaster, anyone from there or nearby know of them?

I am putting my refurbed standard wheels back on soon, which way round do they go (side)? I have tried to look for pics on the net but they seem to be half one way round and half the other. A pic to show the correct side (rotation) would be great. Thanks

I am trying fit my turbos in the 200sx conversion, I need to rotate the outlet housing to another position. I have loosened the 4 bolts that hold the 2 'C' plates on the exhaust housing but it still won't turn. I'm sure that's all that needs to be undones for it to turn? Also there is now oil in the exhaust section so the seal must have been broken? I've given it a few taps with a hammer but no joy, any ideas???

Hi all. All I seem to do is ask questions, so sorry in advance. I have had some serious setups in the past. However I dont want to go spending £3k let alone £1k on an audio system this time round. Im not up on the latest audio equipment. and would like to get it budgetted at under £400, which I appreciate is low, but I dont want subwoofers etc... Basically I would like some decent standard fitting speakers for the front and rear, run by a single 4 channel amp which will fit under either the driver or passenger seat, to keep the installation simple and discreet, but much better sounding than OEM fit. My car never had the Bose upgrade, so has standard sp…

A bit of an easy one, so where am I ? rep for the winner :D

Saw a Reg G reg at Yate American car show in the car park...
