Swapped my N/A for a 1990 twin turbo, and had it running today, noticed that the left hand side turbo is leaking water, but there doesn't seem to be any coolent in the water??? Even though I've given it fresh coolent change today? Also although the drivers side is smoking, it doest seem as though it's the oil seals on the turbo as it doesn't smell of burnt oil? Can the water seals in the turbo go? Also it looks like it's still got the original exhuast on from 20 years ago, and when revved, spits out crap loads of water out of both pipes, it was that bad you could here it gurggling on idle, good thing is it holds it's temp and doesn't over heat, can't work out how s…

Hi I can not find for the life of me that thread about a member who made a turbo conversion to a Z where the turbo was placed to the rear of the car, first kind in the UK or something like that?

Thought I would get a quote for car insurance from adrain flux yesterday. Would you believe the quote is £5115.72 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Im 24 (25 in 4months) with 2 years ncb which is on my bmw and a clean license. Obviously its a second car and minimum miles and a low evaluation. Now I know im young and its an import but my insurance renewal was £950 when I took the car off the road in august 09. Any reason for this high price? Are there any recomended places to try?

Just spotted on FBI files on TV, drug dealer turns up at a drop, not knowing its a FBI trap, he's driving a red zed convertible with the roof up, When he realises its a trap, he spins away and looses them... nice

Guys just wondering if a guide as such exsists for what to dial in on the camber, toe, etc. I have read through the guide on the FAQ's (http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=95683) and although helpfull doesn't give anything specific for a Zed. I am guessing that the settings listed in the FAQ's are just a rough guide? Would be great if anyone had a setup written down, cars running 30mm & 50mm lowered front and rear, if that helps. Cars booked in for Friday to have it all done. Any help appreciated H.

Hi. Ive just bought my Zed. Love it. But over 40 mph, road noise sounds as though the wheel bearings are gone, or that I have studded tyes- but I dont. Just stripey tread pattern. Brand new MOT too but garage can't find any faults. It scares me. Any clues? Anyone local to Enfield who cares to listen to it? Thanks David. Enfield. 020 8 3640004.
