I've just bought a fan controller for my electric fan conversion (yes i know, LOL :D). The trouble is it has come with Jap instructions :confused: Is there a way of translating documents or can any one point me in the right direction with the connections please. Also i presumed i would not need a relay but on page 2 there is a picture of a relay. Do i need one in between the controller and the fan ? Also in pdf which is better quality.

Hi, Received a letter from my insurer this morning saying that to qualify for an agreed value in the event of a write off, I need to get "a knowledgeable club official" to value the car and complete the forms for me. Has anyone else done this and is there anyone on here who fits the bill?! J x

Hi, just trying to get the clutch booster system working on a fairlady i recently brought from a chap on here, but need a little help! The car was a auto, been converted using a turbo box, clutch booster, slave and master clylinder system. Theres a pipe just above the clutch master cylinder fluid with nothing connected to it. The previous owner said this can be connected up to make to clutch pedal a bit lighter (as its quite heavy now!). My understanding is that it looks similar to how a brake servo works, with a pipe with one way valve going to the inlet manifold. Is this the case with this system, or is there need for some tanks etc?, or if the …

Hi, Who had a ZX in green with cream interior who sold it recently for 8K or 9K it was in a mag article as well, Any ideas, Oh, i think he lived in Scotland Thx

Or as they are correctly called, 'direct fire coils, on fire, in the engine bay'. This phenomenon occurred whilst I was driving last night, accompanied by an acrid smell of burning plastic and was preempted by running on 5 cylinders. Be warned! I have (had) all new connectors, it appears there must have been an internal short or something. Not much left of the coil pack but at least I could light my fag without getting my lighter out whilst I contemplated how to extinguish it :-\. As it turned out a 'birthday cake' blow was enough to put it out. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone got a spare connector they would care to sell me please? Cheers H

Hi, Is there a step by step guide on here explaining how to get to the rear speakers, i.e. by removing the minimum number of things? Had a look but can't seem to find anything. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

At first i thought it was Tony B, but then i realised he moved back up north. It was a Green LWB with some really nice sounding exhausts, had a A piller with Gauges in and 99 Spec rear lights with the table top Spoiler. His reg started with TIL. This was near the Hilton Hotel on the dual carriage way behind if it you get what i mean.

can someone recommend some speakers that fit in the doors? Some wally fitted in 6x9's before i bought it and they are too deep and hardly seat in properly? not too worried about rear speakers as i dont think they are too bad, i think the front could do with an upgrade though

As above i can get hold of some MDF really easily via family but can anyone recommend where to get the rest of the materials? i'm guessing i need some sort of carpet some glue or staples? i will also be putting in a LED 300zx logo that lights up in the boot area at night just for myself so i can have a bit of fun. I have a few ideas and designs, some tacky and some quite good but basically i am wishing to get either an LED strip and design it into a funky 300zx logo on the boot floor or cut it into the floor. gonna try some ideas out and see if it ends up too tacky!
