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…

when i had my decats a few years ago we pulled them out and just straped them up under the car. Now i have all the dash out and i can see where they run. I want to cut them and get rid of the black box in the center off the car. If i do this will it affect the car in anyway? Will i have to remove the bulb from the dash??:alien:

ok, so ive installed my electronic boost controller on the engine side of things now. Its a Greddy profec B spec II But either 1 of 4 things is happening. OEM dump valves have the dreaded goose honk so are not coping to well with the increased boost. my lock up solenoid fault on the gear box is having a detrimental effect and not putting the power through the torque converter properly. Or my waist gates are opening to soon. Basically with the OEM set up, you could stick your foot to the floor and apart from the goose honk, everything would boost well. With the electronic boost controller installed, you stick your boot to the floor, i…

What seems like a minor mistakes when working on engines can all to often end up with serious consequences, sometimes though early intervention can save the day. Case in point, a zed in today for a straight forward cambelt service, early on I noticed the engine had clearly been rebuilt with lots of new parts and the block and heads all painted different colours, as it was stripped I wondered why we we doing the belt? What ever the reason it was a lucky day for this zed owner, when the build had been done a new Nissan belt had been fitted as it should be and all tensioned correctly etc. but quickly it was discovered something was very wrong. The cambelt was …

As the title suggests, I'm after a replacement clutch for a 1992 UK Spec TT Z32. It seems a real minefield out there with the variants, but I'm just after a standard spec clutch kit to fit my car. Also any pitfalls when removing the gearbox would be much appreciated :) Thanks in advance.

Got round to fitting my adjustable front control arms, camber arms and tension rod bushes.......would have taken more pics but my mitts were covered in crap and was pushed for time :) Once again thanks to Lee Dent of L.A Autorepair in Shrewsbury for the use of the workshop :) Also fitted a chromed balance bar(cheers zx-tt) and a chromed bonnet catch the other day :)
