Hi folks, not been on in ages as i got fed up bending over a bonnet fixing yet another problem! Haha. So ive taken the plunge and got myself a 350z. But i still have my baby, and shes crying out a lot of oil through both banks of the exhaust. ?ive had a wee peek about and there is no oil in any of the turbo pipes (inlet and outlet). And the pcv valve hoses are full, i mean full, of fresh oil. So hence the title, is it my turbos that have gone or could it be the pcv system? Or , hopefully, something even easier to fix. The problem just started literally overnight. I had no smoke whatsoever then suddenly it was smoking like a bingo playin chain smoker! Big deep breath bef…

Whilst dismantling a new breaker I chanced across one HUGE induction kit, not seen one with such a large intake pipe before, the filter section frame and adaptor section is all alloy and looks very particular to the zed but given the massive intake size I am not sure, looked up ITG and although they have an extensive range the one they list for the zed is different, the flow on this will be impressive, good for someone with big power in mid I guess.

After a little deliberation I have decided on a slight modification to my ZX....... ......so following a conversation with Mike at MJP this morning, I have ordered a Stillen Type III front bumper lip!! It should be here in about 5-6 weeks; I can't wait to get it fitted now as I think it will enhance the car's appearance, yet keep the stock look that I love. Plus it is half the cost of a 99-spec front bumper and less common in the UK...!! Richard:yes:

Evening folks, today I fitted 350z Track discs with caliper relocation brackets and 300zx calipers.The discs have been skimmed, but the brake pedal pulsates when braking and the car shakes if braking from any sort of speed.Can the discs being the wrong way round (check out the grooves in the photo, drivers side) cause this, or could it be a sticking caliper?.Braking was fine with old setup by the way. Going to get a dial gauge on them tomorrow, just thought someone might have an idea if the discs are 'handed', left and right.

Multi job zed in today including the regular cambelt change, all standard change until the lower belt cover was removed. Previously someone had fitted a new pulley bearing to the belt adjuster, unfortunately the wrong one! the pulleys are not interchangable and this one was sticking out too far as can be seen in the slightly blurred pic. Problem, maybe not, but then looking at the bottom cover and the contact damage the pulley had caused, in fact much further it would have punched right through and goodness knows where the metal would have gone! Bad mistake that must of made a right racket when first fitted, cannot believe it was left like it..! another lucky e…
