Removed all the aiv gubbins under the wings today and blocked of pipes to downpipes.But on the driver side there is a flat plastic tank low down which leads to somewhere near the brake servo i left this in because it didnt seem to be anything to do with the aiv system.Does anyone know what it is and whats it for thanks.

When tightening the valve cover it cracked, did'nt even give it that much :sad: This was the top one without the oil filler. Do you think I will get away with it, its on the over side of the gasket plus its a middle bolt rather then the outside ones.

My mule is going to be featured in Banzai mag when Jimmer and John Dixon have finnished getting it running sweet. :blink: I will keep you posted on dates etc, I have decided to treat it to some new wheels for the occasion. :laugh:

i need two front indicators asap as some one nick my one's yesterday and tomorrow (thursday) i got to drive to cambridge and i dont have indicators (one on the bumper) i live surrey close to kingston so if any one got any please please let me know ;)

i have searched every thread i can and possibly started to confuse myself with different scenarios - as i understand it after the manual box is in i only have to wire the reverse lights and sort out the neutral switch - from what i gather the two wires from the remaing inhibitor switch go to the reverse lights but what wire goes to the neutral - some leave it but i dont want the hassle with the base timing out - do i need to bother with the starter relay in the inner wing on the clutch does everyone bother with the booster side - i want it easy to drive but is it much more hassle to fit all the bits kind regards dave

Just fitted a new clutch to my nissan cabstar including all 3 parts..when i release the clutch ime getting a kind of groaning sound:blink:..ive heard the exact sound before on a high powerd zed with an aggressive clutch but never on a poxy cabstar truck,any ideas what causes it?? i sanded the flywheel to help the plate bed in but ime baffled what the sound is.

Ok folks...I need to pull my finger out and get myself a new clutch. Have been putting it off til my existing clutch is properly knackered and it's almost there now so... ...I have an RPS Max Street at the moment as recommended by most on this forum. However...for a variety of possible reasons, it's knackered (within a year!). It's been looked at by a few very trusted mechanics and the conclusion is that I need a new one. Now...my issue is that I'm a little apprehensive of getting another RPS Max Street as it has to come from the US and as such, if anything goes wrong with it, I'm pretty much dead in the water! So, I thought I'd post up on here to see if an…

I want to renew all of the bushes on the rear sub frame, currently waiting for MrF to fix his website, can someone tell me what ones i need. will need a list for all of them including the 4 main sub frame bushes. just so i don't end up getting the wrong ones.

I know there's been a few threads about this in the past: On the way to work one of my boost pipes came off and caused the Z to belch black smoke and refuse to run/idle. Luckily I was next to a petrol station so I pulled in and managed to temporarily get the pipe back on so it would at least drive. Unfortunately it's not giving me the key back. The thumb-push refuses to go in and allow the key to come back to first position and come out. I'm sure this is due to the car stalling because of the pipe as I've never had this problem before. It's a MANUAL, with an Apexi Turbo Timer. I've tried wiggling the steering lock, I've started the engine, turned the key of…

Greetings all, first off I know that everyone has "their shop" and their preferences, so on and so forth. But is there any one shop in the UK that has the top reputation, no history of shenanigens, and a solid record of integrity, that most everyone can agree on? I'm considering getting my Z tuned properly, but want to make sure it goes someplace that will actually do it properly and has a solid track record with Z32's. I'm not sure if there is any significant difference in petrol between the UK and Germany, so it might even be a moot point. Anyway, this will require a ferry trip and certainly at least one night, possibly two, as well as using up leave time from work…

I need a brake master cylinder today please ring 07800524039 iv got dwyb at Santa pod tomorrow mornin I live in Manchester please please contact asap

Had my tracking set up by laser,Had it checked three times now ,and didn't need any adjustment, all my tires or the same size and inflated to the correct pressure , cant see any play in the bushes and the power steering is all topped up , so what might be causing it to pull to th right , on level roads as well as camber roads.

Is there a a link on how to set up your throttle corectly?

Saw a beautiful looking black Zed driving down the A30 towards hayle on monday 13th. I passed you in the contraflow on your side of the carriageway. Wouldnt have noticed me, i was in a van :p

Just wondered if its anyone on here, looked great... i was incognito in a clio :detective:

I was driving along in my z31 at a sensible speed today approaching a red light in the rain, gently applied the brakes and the car really shot off to the right. Get to where I'm going and have a look to find that my offside track control rod is snapped in 2, half of it on the road somewhere at that set of traffic lights I imagine. Just started searching for a replacement rod and came across this thread which set alarm bells ringing as I recently installed poly bushes...anybody had any problems or heard that poly should not be used for this part of the car?

Hi Had my aircon filler valves changed on my 92 tt import and a special gas with oil for the old type compessors put in.everything was perfect for 2 days then no more ice cool air.Checked the compressor and can see the clutch is not working (wiring has been checked) 1)can i replace with the newer type commpressor (series 2 on i think ?) 2)If so is that an advantage ? and is that all i have to replace or do other parts of the system have to be changed over to match the new type compressor? thks Kurt

Finally started the car after getting everything together and both the clutch and brake pedals seem to go to the floor way to easy. When I depress the pedals the revs drop too! Have I set up the one way valves on the vac reservoirs wrong? Why is the brake pedal going to the floor? :confused1:

Hi all. Has anyone had the Godspeed rear control arms from the USA? The problem I'm having is getting them to fit in the subframe! There just not wide enough. Could there be anyway round this? Cheers

Does this have two wires in it as the auto one i,ve removed has three to marry up to the three in the TPS ???
