The three way black plastic section that sits on top of the spark plugs has these zig zag narrow black plastic bit. Mine are all busted up and the rubber rings that go on the coil packs are perished. Ive put most of the car back together minus these two parts. Are they needed?

Can't blame weather conditions or my driving (honest!). Turning left at a roundabout, familiar with the road, wasn't going fast, didn't gas it as I came off the bend and the car decided to do its best impression of a sidewinder :crying: Scared the bejeezus out of me and Marc and it was so lucky there was no traffic in the outside lane coz the car swirled from one lane to the other before I got control of it again. And then the back end skippet out on me doing 40mph on a straight piece of dual carriageway. Seriously brown trouser moment. Really don't know why it happened. Not sure if perhaps my tyres aren't quite right, but they have always felt ok...... Eeek!

ive just done the center bearing today on my zed . anybody thinking about doing this make sure you have a new 27mm nut for the middle . what a complete PITA getting that thing off . i had to reuse it but christ it was butchered . also make sure you have new gaskets for your exhaust . i managed to buy a kit and make some new ones up but i was lucky that my local car spares place had this in stock , you might not be. one other bit of advice is to make sure you put a really good mark down the shaft for realignment . i just put a couple of little marks on mine and with all the struggling getting the bloody big nut off i scrubbed all my marks so im just hoping its not too…

hi i have been having intermittant hesitation on my z for a while , it generally occurs between 1-2k rpm and i have been able to catch a spike on datascan as you can see from the screen grab it goes loopy! i have a duel mapped ecu and was going to illiminate the crossover switch just incase this is at fault and is trying to switch maps while driving. any advice on anything else it could be? i was in traffic doing approx 8-15 mph

G Reg Pearl White LWB rumbled past me on monks road. Probably no-one on here lol :euro:

Just got a second hand idle control valve and air reg of ebay gave it a good clean and got a new gasket from nissan for idle control valve .When i took the new valve apart i notoiced a rubber washer on the idle screw .My old one never had this i wonder if this is the cause of my varible idle probs.not fitted new one yet, is this washer important will it leak air past it without 1 thanks.

My standard fpr has given up the goast, if i fitted a adjustable version is there a way to set it to the right pressure with out a gauge or will it need a gauge? all so is there any thing else i will need to fit one, eg an adaptor plate?

Hi, I stumbled by this picture when looking at vg30dett engine conversions into S-bodies (my friend has one). This engine bay, single turbo conversion looks mint; but can anyone explain how it is done? and what is going on under the hood from this picture? It confuses me!

hi to all. Can u help? My 300 is crabbing down the road and yes my rear steer is out of line. Dus any one no what could be the cause of this? Sometimes the hicas light comes on the dash?????

hi guys it sounds like the exhaust on my zed is blowing but its coming from the front drivers side, is this an easy fix ?

Think it must have been your car mate, just outside newburry heading onto M4 looked stunning-off to be mapped?

Hi I am in the middle of my manual conversion and cant say evrything is going smooth but it is getting there. I have an uprated clutch to fit - it came with all bits including allignment tool - in the packet was the new spigot bush sitting on the end of the tool - now bush is fitted (and it was ok to fit) the tool is way too tight and i cant push it in at all - i dont want to sand it down as then i know the geabox input shaft will not go in - what has gone wrong now and what can i do - do i have to get a new bush - is it possible this has reduced size as being fitted - if it has to come out and a new one in how do i get that out --oooohhh sooo many questions -- any he…

Hi all, is there any way of fitting a "push to make" button to sweep the front wipers once? im tired of reaching up to switch on and off in very light rain.. yes i am lazy...:whistling: james

Hi, just took the zed out for run, drove great pulled realy well, had a great dive until it suddenly cut out! i was was accelorating quite hard but had to brake quite harsh as i was coming to a bend and i felt the steering go stiff, i looked at the clocks and the car had cutt out, it fired up straight away and it was fine again. this has happened a few times now, ive checked the ecu and its showing no codes. could it be a boost leak? any commemnts greatly appreciated cheers Si

Can this just be removed from the car, having taken my UK spec front bumper off, i have no need for all the pipe work (looks like garden hose lol no expense spared i guess) they didn't even work anyway. its all headlight threads today, think we should nominate this day as headlight Sunday lol

I'm buying some refurbished headlights that have 99 spec inserts in them (or they will have) I am unsure of what colour to do them to best suit my car. I was thinking black, but silver has also been mentioned? Can anyone suggest any more/better colours. Its to fit to my Silver SWB.

I've been on with this niggle for a while now but not actually done much about it. The problem is my headlights are very poor (full beam is fine, infact very good!) They are so bad that if I have a passenger in the car they do ask if I have even got the headlights on! I have decided to buy some refurbished headlights that have been cleaned and have 99 spec inserts etc as an upgrade but also to try and help with the brightness. I do have a set of 35w HIDS, they were fitted to the car when I bought it so I am unsure of the quality. I was under the impression that if they worked then they worked if you know what I mean. I did consider 55w ones but was to…

Hi, Can anybody reccomend a insurance company I can try, I want to keep the impreza insured but would like the zed to be on the same policey so I can use my no claims on bother cars if you know what I mean. Iam 28 with a clean licence and 7 years no claims. Cheers Mark
