haven't been on in a while and infact I don't own my widebody any more, I sold this a couple of years back now to a gent that I believe really abused it sadly. I saw it just before Christmas on eBay looking very sorry for itself up in Windermere and I would have happily bought it back but the new owner was wanting way to much for the issues it now has. Just thought I'd come on to see if anyone knows what happened to it, I spent a lot of money getting it right and its a shame it was so badly abused after I owned it. Its reg was M550OGS and this is one of the last pictures I have of her

'Evening all... I have been speaking with the organisers of the NEC show and I am pleased to announce they have managed to squeeze us in at the last minute!! We have a small stand for just TWO cars - maybe three at a squeeze - so I am looking for volunteers. You must be able to bring (or drop off) your car on Thursday 9th November, at a given time to suit the organisers; and then leave it on the club stand until around 7pm on Sunday 12th November. It would be preferable if you could also be available to remain and help man the stand for the duration - although not essential. However, there is NO flexibility with regard to arrival/departure times; these are set o…

anyone know what would cause the timing to be moving about when checking with a strobe? Electric/sensor fault or possibly the belt on slightly wrong as it was just recently changed. Not my car btw.

Assorted pictures from the recent run with Simon and our travelling companions through Europe which took in France, Italy and Switzerland over 7 days and 1950 miles. Another unforgettable experience following on from our France tour in 2015 (which included Joel). Day 1 - Home to Portsmouth and then ferry crossing to St Malo. Stopped off at Mont Saint-Michel and then down to our first night’s stop at Berry-Bouy.

i have a few Multimeters (3) dont ask, and am having trouble measuring the 11-15 Ohm reading on injectors, the resistance scale goes down to 200 ohm as the lowest, would this be able to read the injectors or would it bounce around. So i looked at other MM on the net and a lot are like this 200 600 etc as the lowest. Only the vastly expensive ones read down to 1 ohm. Also the cheap analogue ones read down to 1 as well, is there some difference between the way digi/anal work out the resistance or is it a readout issue. Kind reply's accepted only.... Rich

Can you believe someone has stollen all my wheel dust caps! Just because there not the normal black plastic type! *******s!!!

Hi guys can anyone send me a link to some new rear bleed nipples there longer than the front 45mm long .Looked on eBay with no luck thanks .

I believe that it is viable to swap injector #5 (rear right hand) using dremel method, but would be good to know if anyone have done it successfully. Have changed #3 and #4 before, which worked well, but seem to be a good bit to machine out for injector #5. Need to get a replacement into car, as it is acting up frequently (cylinder will not fire when hot under bonnet- and ohm meter show that it is gone bad as well). Hope to avoid lifting plenum.

Does anybody have a layout for a RH drive TT Aircon system pipework, Im particularly interested to understand the route the pipework takes from the Condenser to the Pump, All I can find on line is LH drive stuff, Or can anybody tell me if there is any Aircon pipework which runs across the front of the engine ? Ta Sayers

Hi everyone hope ya all good. Got another problem I need to bottom just wondering If anyone has had the same fault. I have white smoke (not steam) coming from the passenger side in front of the battery smells oily it only smokes when it's been on boost and I turn the engine off, no smoke coming from exhaust or anything and no smoke from bonnet when been driven gently.

Was only a matter if time for this to happen, this is going to snowball into next year as the idiots sort out the mess they allowed to happen...BREXIT ! then most likely get worse ! thanksfully I buy in Euro`s now. Jeff

Hi, can anyone advise where the Aircon Evaporator core is on a 93 TT, and what I have to remove in order to be able to change the Expansion Valve within it, Thanks Sayers

Planning on replacing the entire brake line system soon while I have the subframe out. I've had a quick browse through past threads on this subject about what pipe and fittings to use. Is there anybody who has done this job in full or in part that can provide some pro-tips? Such as quantity and type of pipe and fittings used, and any potential pitfalls to avoid during the process. Also considering replacing the fuel lines while I'm at it, but that pipe looks slightly thicker than the brake pipes. FYI I have the electric HICAS, so no pipes to replace for that.

hi everyone i know this subject has been covered many times i need to ask is it possible to use a larger front rotor disc with standard nissan caliper straight fitment no messing about is there a larger disc from another make of car which will fit , i don't want to be having to make spacers or drilling just want to find a larger disc which fits with minimal work . if theres anythng out there tried tested please list parts etc whats needed cheers:thumbup1:

AndrewG and myself are taking our Zs down to Monaco. Landed in St Malo this morning, stopped at Mont St Michel briefly and now about 50 miles from LeMans heading south West. Rubbish photos, better ones to come!

So The questions are : what part is this ? Where did it come from ? What zed previously owned by me did it come from ?

My O2 sensors are duff and need replacing. Anyone know for sure if a Bosch replacement such as these on eBay are suitable or do I need to contact Nissan? Thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372048269983

Hi Guys, I was always under the impression the radiator on a 300zx was a closed system , if pressure builds up the rad cap allows it to bleed off ? My car is fitted with a Koyo rad and this has a tube coming from an oulet near the rad car that is open to air , is this normal ? this would be a an open system allowing water vapor to escape? Thanks, Adam

Anyone on the forum own this car.
