where can i find a boss kit with hicas that isnt from australia!! i can't find one anywhere. cheers

Hi all, I bought my Z from Maz on saturday, the ride is really good and I've really enjoyed everything about it so far! The steering has always been quite hard, myself and Maz thought it was because of the undersized steering wheel, however as I was driving home last night it was as if the powersteering had suddenly been turned on, or become more powerful, the steering has now become very light... Maz was saying about how his one was becoming very heavy and was due to a sensor within the gearbox, which will stiffen up the steering at higher speeds. Is it possibly this sensor which could have caused the sudden change in lightness of steering? Cheers guys Sk…

I think I have decided to sell the car at the end of the show season as it doesn't get the use she deserves. I have a few bits to tidy and finsih off but does anyone have any idea of a value as the engine conversion is a one off with big power? I may take a p/ex for something fun?

Actually thought someone had pinched my car for a moment. Series 3 onwards, couldn't see reg or wheels. But what I could see looked damn fine!:yes:

Just had to top up my PS fluid again so I've resigned myslf to the idea of having a leak. So, is there a common failure and if so is it easy to fix, or am I going to have to start pulling induction pipes off to find it? TIA!

Im trying to hook up a Dell SX270 pc to my JVC KW-AVX800 double din head unit. The sound is no problem. I've connected the Audio Input to the head unit (red and white rca lead) to a 3.5mm jack on the pc's sound card. Sorted. Happy days. All works fine. My problem is getting a picture to stay still. Im getting the "enter password" screen with the windows logo appearing on my screen but it's flashing across it. The manual for the head unit says that it's resolution is 480 x 236. I connected my PC back to a normal monitor but the lowest resolution i could get it to is 800 x 600. I suppose what im asking is: a) How do I go about lowering the resolu…

Black 300 on green lane in wrecclesham anyone on here? I have seen it a few times now.

totally never realised but when i did water bypass today i noticed the new rad cap i had supplied with my new hiflow radiator was a 1.3kg/cm2 which is making wonder if that higher pressure caused my water leak so i have now put on a stock cap 1.1kg/cm2 but as this was off my old rad i need a new one but all i can find is 13psi caps are these the right pressure?

I have a few sets of injectors, They have differenct numbers on top of the injectors, trying to work out what size they are. these numbers are stamped on top, google doesnt really bring much up from first set of rails 2H50 (NISSAN LOGO) 0910N The Second set 1M51 (NISSAN LOGO) 35310 Thanks.

I have the option, and to upload, is correct size but says upload failed??????? any picture i try

does anyone know a place that will change my turbos for a good price

OK , it was a white 370Z :lol:

Seen a Black Z32 Import around my area going past the Horseshoe Pub (siston Hill roundabout).

....to Andy Isherwood and Mark Silverbullet for helping me fit my refurbed R33 GTR brembos yesterday!! It took a fair while...mainly due to hangovers and a bit too much banter/messing about but the sun was out, the pizza was ordered and we had a laugh!! And an extra special thanks to Andy for doing such a sterling job refurbing and painting the calipers!! Absolutely brilliant finish and I'm SOOO chuffed with them!! :thumbup1: Thanks again fellas!!! I've stuck some pics up (apologied for the poor quality!)... Before: After: Close ups: And some random...

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the top radiator hose? Need to buy a jobby to fit my temp sensor to... cheers, tudor...

My car standard except frigging noisy exhaust Stillen, single output, waiting to go on a John Dixon chip and jets, do i have to change the injectors do i need a boost valve thingy what air filter? has Hicas eliminator fitted Anyone and anyone selling 2nd hand these required parts JJ

This as bothered me for a while, under this black trim I could see black as well as silver and it looked untidy. :crying: I took the wiper arms off and then both pieces of trim, it revealed areas of black overspray or underspray if you like, this removed quite easily and it all returned back to a pleasing silver. :clap: Then gave everything on the car a thoroughly cleaning. Sprayed up gloss black on the trim, as you imagine over time they do sun fade. Sprayed and livened up the finish on the wiper arms. A simple job and another well worth the time and effort. :thumbup1:

Hi, my dads primera p12 is idling very lumpy and kicking out lots of blue smoke, ive read on various websites and forums that it could be the piston rings but the car has barely done 40k, plus he rarely brakes the speed limit lol. surely its not the piston rings at such low mileage. does anyone have any ideas. any comments greatly appreciated cheers si

trying to do a water bypass with the plenum on got the passengers side done but gave up on the drivers side when i could not even get to the metal pipe clip at the back of the plenum so i've done a half bypass lol also got round to starting to fit the new silicone vac hoses and finished fitting the replica spoiler just needs a little more tidying round that and i managed to take paint off in one place trying to remove excess glue doh still need to fettle my top rad hose slightly as well but thats for another day when it's dry

Is it just me, or does anyone else have difficultly actually being able to see the speedo/revs? It's not my eyesight... my steering wheel is in the way! I had a 320mm wheel on there, just changed it for a bigger wheel but no difference (actually slightly worse now). I'm about 6ft and was just wondering if anyone else has this problem? Adjusting the seat doesn't help... just another quirk of the Z I guess! :innocent:

So, the intitial emergency seems to be over.. But i'm confused now. I definitely had warm air from the heater when I got the car, so there was enough water in it to function to some degree. Certainly nothing to arouse suspicion anyway. This morning however, there was clearly no water in it.:confused1: Where did the water go? There's no indication that the head is letting water through, there's definitely no white smoke in the exhaust. Fact. Nor is there any water in the oil. So if the water isn't going through the head and isn't leaking out through a hose, where the fook did it go? Somewhere down the line, whatever water was in the system ha…

hi all i need to do a water bypass on the zed but after contacting local parts people i can only get hold of 10bar pressure rated fuel hose which a mechanic of many years standing says should be fine to carry coolant is this correct?

Right, Took it for a run this morning to see if the issue was still present.. Temp went up to about 110, so pulled over and checked engine temp with my hand, radiator was cool and top of engine was warm, but not excessively so. This made me think the issue was with the sensor, however... couldn't get any warm air from the heater, so no hot water in the matrix... Temp reading went upto 150+ so took the car back and popped the bonnet again. No pressure in radiator!!!! took the cap off and nothing... poored a kettle of water in and a lot of gurgling and then steam etc, started the engine without the rad cap and coolant pissed out everywhere, so water pump is w…

Hi folks, Just got the zed back today - after some suspension work So, have been for some 'spirited driving'.. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the cooling system. I have a tech tom fitted so i am able to see a digital read out for the engine temp. On a motorway cruise to my mate's the temp was steady at 80-85 degrees c while at motorway speeds. However, I've just got back from a quick blast consisting of mainly backroads and then some fun on an industrail estate (roundabouts) and the temp has started being erratic. The temp quickly went up to about 95, then all of a sudden jumped to 105, then fell quickly to 90 and then rose quickly agai…

I wanted to do away with the front bumper washer hoses, if I pull the hose out the res. it just leaks everywhere. Guess I need a bung of some sort. Whats the best way to ditch those.
