Hello chaps Getting my Z going after a long lay off. Pads needs replacing. But discs are pretty rusty but surface area doesnt feel pitted. Now, do I need to replace, remove rust or just replace pads and let the pads remove the rust? Cheers

Hi, I bought some pentproof manifold and The garage can't get them to fit. I have a greedy 16g setup. Has anyone had any problems with them??? I'm ready to throw in the towel on zedding with this like. It's doing my head in. Below is the images the garage have sent me of drivers side turbo outlet pipe from various angles. As you see the pipe cannot line up properly because the manifold sticks out. He wants me to advise how to proceed and I just don't know what to tell him to do at this point other than just get it done somehow.

Ok new owner, done around 2k miles in it, not happy with performance or mpg, wanted a cambelt anyway so got involved with the running issue. Full Nissan service history UK zed with 60k ish miles, nice condition, when I test drove it the idle was lumpy and erratic, the performance had massive holes in the delivery of power, the turbo gauge would swing up then off and even when on boost was rubbish with bucking and sudden power ups. As I said at idle it was very lumpy and when revving would not only dip but struggle to pick up, coaxing the revs up slowly it was ok (ish) the exhaut smell was evil. So whats wrong here then?? Ok three pics, whats wrong, …

Anyone going this sunday i may be popping along and getting the zed in on a stand if all goes well :)

Went to see my carbon fiber guys today about getting my new rear light panel ready for JAE. Imagine my displeasure when I see it no where near ready and the guy who runs the workshop floor is on holiday until next Tuesday!!! At this point I decide to take out my frustrations on one of the guys and tell him (in between varoius profanities) that I am going to rip his head off when I see him on Tuesday. The young chap is by now very apologetic and acting very sheepish. At this point the owner of the business comes over and invites me into the office to explain to me that the workshop manager is off for a cancer operation. I am such a bad person. Ligh…

For the electrical/audio minded people i currently have a humming in the speakers when the engine is on and this alters with RPM. Now it wasnt there before so has to be something recent that has been fitted maybe. Could it either be that i have a RPM signal wire that goes to nowhere currently as it was for the 4in tacho or could it be that the RMP signal wires for the Bee R pass over the speaker wires behind the stereo? Its another one of those pains i have to sort but i dont really wanna have to cut the Bee R wires out just to see if it goes away. Also have RPM signals for the Apexi rev meter and HKS turbo timer passing over the same direction. Cheers …

Managed to drain the coolant system via the drain cock at the base of the rad, a bit brown and had a bit of sediment in it. Flushed it through with the use of a hose pipe until the water ran clean. Trouble is, I can only see this flushing the rad itself.:confused1: Should I have removed the drains from the each side of the block? I am struggling to convince myself that I have actually flushed the engine at all!! There must be a better way? surely.:helpsmilie:

I like the fact they have the indicators in them but im not sure they will make my car look over the top lol as if it doesnt anyway (see my rides) can I have some opinions please I know the topic has been covered before but id like opinions on should they go on my car or not. cheers Craig PS reason im asking is car will prob be up for sale in the very near future unless i win the lottery first so looking at fitting or selling the bits I have in the shed.

I'm looking to get a 99 spec fibreglass bumper sent to me but I need to know the dimensions and weight for a currier company. Anyone know them?
