Seeing this pic today showing the boot light in a LWB, prompted me to ask the following Should my SWB have a light here? I don't even have cut out :confused1: Is it because the centre courtesy light in a shorty is supposed to light the boot with the blind down? Does a LWB have a courtesy light on both sides of boot? Thank you.

Hi peeps, Last week while on a long drive, I noticed my drive belt started to make noise and I thought may be it was water related problem. However following day I realised almost all the oil in the power steering pot has gone. My question is - could this be just a leakage from the pipe or is it the steering pump? I tried to trace the leak point and it's around where the main pipe from reserviour pot joined the steering pump - very difficult to reach. Would I be needing another pump or just find a way to tighten the pipe from point of leakage? BTW car still steer easy like before - not stiff at all thanks Ade

Can anyone recommend a decent courier? Anyone got a rough idea of the cost of getting 2 wheels from devon to the midlands?

On the back of a wagon, anybody?

Is it possible to wire my folding mirrors into my alarm. at the moment if my windows are down and i walk away from the car, when i press the remote to lock it, the windows do them selves up. was just wondering if there was a way to patch into the wiring that achieves this, to also fold the mirrors in as well?

Just wondering if anybody has come across this setup before. This is an ATL fuel cell that was previously fitted to a Cosworth rally car. I bought it a while back and am in the process of fitting it and plumbing everything in (hence the hole where my 'Z' used to have a boot floor) The company ran a twin Facet lifter pump set up running to a large fuel filter. This 'I believe' filtered fuel to the primary Bosch 044 fuel pump which ran to a primary high flow fuel filter/FPR etc. The vent hose was cut whilst the cell was being removed from the previous car, as was a second hose that runs from the initial fuel filter. Any suggestions where to run the …

Hey all I currently have an apex avcr to fit but am wondering ifs it's worth changing for a profec b2. Any suggestions or recommendations please Thanks Craig

Finished off the sill repair and de-scabbed both sides, Then re-stonechipped the sills, While that was drying I took the old exhaust off ready for the shiny cat back japspeed one-the old one is well knackered! Before fitting the new 'zorst the underside was Shultzed, The I fitted the new system,just a note that I was well impressed with this,straight on only the slightest tweak to get the tailpipes level! The sills then got a coat of base from a rattle can, Then laquered-color match is quite good for an aerosol!:smartass: More as it happens folks!:hammer:

Just bought a 91' N/A Fairlady and the central locking does not work. The drivers side lock just feels broken and you cannot lock it from the outer door as the key just spins??? Will I need to replace the whole mechanism? The passenger side still locks though....

can anyone tell me what grommet type thing goes arount the two brake pipes where they drop down from the master cylinder and through the wheel arch into the brass block. i think this is going to get complicated putting all the correct clips etc back in the right places

As title, their in america but they have the gauges i want, Ive just been a victim of card fraud so im a bit dubious of overseas transactions. Cheers Mark

Time to change. Any suggestions for a good aftermarket manufacturer of quality cam belts. I don't need racing or track day spec, just a highly recommended make. Cheers.

I am trying to make room for a full size battery in my engine compartment. The previous battery, now dead, was the wrong type being too small and only just man enough to start the car. The problem now is the Hornet car alarm siren is taking up the space needed. How easy is it to relocate the siren unit? If I cut the wires when the alarm is unarmed will it set the alarm off? Actually I would like to remove the siren altogether [it goes off always at the wrong time when voltage drops] and just use the keyless entry and engine immobiliser, is this possible?

I need to replace my original spoiler with a fiberglass copy of the same type. Does anyone know if I can get away with just painting the spoiler, or will the tailgate have to be done too?

What power can it take without too much trouble? (search won't work on my iPhone, neither will copying or paste)

...a job I thought I'd never get to do easily as one of the screw heads was rusted so bad it was coming apart when I tried to undo it, but eventually I got the old ones out and the new smoked 'reflectors' in. I take it the US-spec Zs have (or had) to have lit-up rear reflectors because the new units come with small bulbs for which there is no visible connection in my Jap bumper. I love the look though - the red really clashed with the blue, but now the rear quarters match the darker alloys and also the smoked side repeaters up front. A great mod for about £30 delivered from the US :cool:

I am trying to buy a new battery for my 1990 TT auto import, as the old one died. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information from suppliers. H******S and two Internet suppliers want to give me a battery far to large to fit in the limited space. They also have three different specifications for the battery. Does any one know the official Nissan specified Reserve Capacity and Cold Cranking Amps [its not given in the online manual or handbook], I can then find one that fits. The old battery I think was wrong anyway being only 45 Ah, but it did fit.

what kind of power could i get out of my 300 tt std if i remap chipping etc?

as anyone had this problem b4? when i start my tt i have a noise coming from the n/s front of the engine behind the wheel low down. i am not sure if its a knocking noise from the bottom end and if i rev the engine somtimes the noise stops. i have not had the car long and i know it needs a bloody good oil change as it is really dirty. also it sounds a bit taperty on the left side of the engine. the car runs mint apart from what i hav already said, any ideas??????????????:rockon:

Before ... So far ...

It had cracked underneath near the exhaust, i was jacking up the rear and forgot to put something under the wheels to stop them rolling oops. But its ok, I got to work and made a few changes. Covered more of the lower of the fender with perspex and brought the diffuser in deeper. Might make a difference... might not..... the high pressure air should escape easier out the rear than before. These aftermarket bumpers kinda act like parachutes but a few changes and all is transformed :) before: after:

for some strange reason i was under the impression that Zedworld was somewhere near newcastle. unfortunatly it obviously isn't. so anybody got any ideas where i can get a conzult test without driving 3 hours?
