as title sais how can i stop this the seals are good but still dripping in the rainy scottish weather

Right, so i bought my car in august and after having it a week the clutch selecter fork (??) broke. I had that changed along with a new clutch at a cost or around £500. Now the same fault i had before has returned. I'm guessing it will be the selecter fork again and not the clutch itself. i've taken it back to the garage i had the work done, should be under warrenty. Definatly not happy. Even thought of selling up and cutting my losses :( Loosing faith in it, may have bitten off more than i can chew with this one, she does need a fair amount of work :(

Could somebody shed some light on this please? I've fitted an ARC oil cooler off a BNR34 GTR to my 'Z'. It came with, what I initially thought was a sandwich plate for the oil filter, but having just compared it to the HEL/MOCAL sandwich plate that I bought previously, I now think that the ARC part is for re-locating the oil filter from its original location and not a normal sandwich plate. Here's a pic of the HEL/MOCAL sandwich plate and here's a pic of the ARC part that I believe is for relocating the filter from the stock position If this is the case then wouldn't a blanking plate wit…

Hi Guys, I have a J spec TT. When I bought the car it had fitted a Blitz induction kit upgraded chip (not sure what make that is) Dump valves again not sure what make but they came from America according to the recept and an Apexi AVCR.I came across this (see pics below)I thought at first that it was part of the Boost contoller but now pretty sure that it was fitted in Japan cos its the only Mod on the car that I have not got the recept to.The thing is still live cos the control knob lights up when the ignition is switched on but the control is set to zero.The question is what is it what does it do can it still be used in conjunction with the boost controller or is it r…

As some may know I sold the Z this week, I had resigned myself to the fact it wouldn't sell and I would end up keeping it and finishing everything on it. But the buyer came through and has been chasing me to collect. I started the car up this week to check it over to find a leak in the rad, l: that being the case I'll keep it and sell the EVO. So gutted on losing a sale but it gives me the winter to rebuild and perfect all the engine layout bits I'm not happy about, I may even got for a target of 600bhp!
