Hi - I have a problem with a braking system air leak and wondered if anyone knows of a diagram of the master cylinder and associated pipes online anywhere? Symptoms are that the brake pedal is spongy, goes right down to the floor, and I can hear air escaping while pumping the brakes. Are there any known common faults? Thanks in anticipation for your help as always :helpsmilie:

After almost 3 weeks of standing still (loads of snow before and after Christmas), finally drove the Z today. How I missed it and the rain, for once, was very welcome. I have to admire my wife's N-reg Micra though; performed brilliantly in terrible conditions and as is the case with Nissans and especially Micras, reliable and dependable beyond belief. Every home should have one (alongside your Z!).

I nervously started the old girl up today. its been exactly a month since I last drove her and she started first time! (albeit she'd been on charge the whole time). took her out for a nice long drive and apart from the occasional creak or groan the only things i noticed were a light tapping from the engine (which went after a few minutes), and the steering column vibrated slightly as i turned the wheel at rest, but that went after a few minutes too. i'm chuffed to bits that she survived the weather we've been having - i 'treated' her to a quick wash with warm water and hope to use her again as a daily driver :gunsmilie: ...the only problem is I'd promised myself no…

Does r33 skyline gtst coilpacks fit in the z32 tt? Do you have to take the plennum off to change them?

I've got to change my passenger door lock mechanism as it doesn't always lock - is it quite easy to do this?

Not sure if this link has been posted before and not able to take a look just yet but i'm guessing the old skyline hicas is the same as the 300zx? I've been wanting to get shot of the anoying hicas light on the dash without having to just remove the bulb and loose the ability to warn me of low power steering fluid :clap: http://forums.gtrcanada.com/showthread.php?t=20736

Hi im still having problems with my power steering, i got one of my mates to have a look at it and he said the pas lines at the rear of the car are badly corroded and need replacing, i went to a garage with it and he said its a disaster of a job to do as other pipes are near ps ones. i also called a power steering repair garage today and he said that he wouldnt touch it either and would need to go to dealer for new pipes, please someone help... can the pipes be repaired or replaced or am i better to strip out hicas and put a bar in, how easy or difficult is this to do many thanks..

Hello, was wondering if anyone knows how I may get nprobe? http://www.300degree.com/electronics/nprobe/ Its no longer available, and I note that these guys are selling the palm m500 for £20 today. http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=190330

Im picking up another engine next week, nothing serious with mine yet but fancied having a spare, its apparently got about 60k miles, but although it may be good as it is, i fancy doing a rebuild to make it like new again before i drop the engine and manual box in the car. Im not looking to do a slickpete, im after making it strong and reliable for the years ahead. So if i replace the pistons, rings and conrods, etc, whats the best way to go and where to get the bits. Im in no rush, just going to take my time and do it bit by bit, but would maybe like to get it all finished before the summer starts. Im after it basically being like new, internally, for peace…

Working today and have seen 3 zeds 2 In fort fareham 1 nice white one in gudge heath road. Was it you???

been looking at the D2 big brake kits,and thought what do you do when the pads need replacing? what pads do you order? and more importantly what about when the discs need replacing? there a lot of money but surely dont last forever

my engines been tapping for a few months now but over the last few days its developed into a knocking sound, im thinking big ends are on the way out, is there anyway of checking without taking things to bits? a friend says if i put a screw driver to the sump i maybe able to tell? thanks.

:helpsmilie::helpsmilie:when i rebuild the engine i mixed the solenoids up, so they are on oposite sides could this cause alack of power , as im getting boost but no increased power its like the solenoids are not advancing the inlrt cams any ideas :helpsmilie::helpsmilie:

Im looking at buying an engine stand, does anyone know if a 550kg man enough for the job Cheers Graham

You got PM bud...could you drop me a line back when you get a chance before Friday? Thanks mate

Ive been on here for a bit now, i get involved in the banter, try and arrange some meets, and offer help and advice whenever i can. But, i really do enjoy funny threads. This gets me thinking??? What are the classic memorable threads that you remember. The ones that stand out from the rest, Whether funny, sad or just one big bun fight etc etc. I want to know about them and see what we all think One of my favs ever was the pink plenium, started of and just ran and ran. what else is out there???

For those of you following this, have got the conversion harness ready for slick Pete's car now. A bit rough until we test it then I'll drill a hole in the case to pass the cables through to neaten it up but at least it's progress :yes: The unconnected wires are for shift light, wide-band connection, clutch switch pickup (full-throttle shift), map switching and road speed input.

Hi people, Just went out to start the car up but nothing, got the leads out and tried, the battery is charging as i can turn the lights on. Im turning the key but not even getting any lights up on the dash, I have a clifford 650 alarm system, anyone got any ideas?

Hi guys. Any ideas on what is a good value radio/cd player ? Or has anyone got one they dont want? Also, do you really need a new car aerial for dab? cheers!

As above really, After seeing my plight he`s very kindly sent me an injector to compare against my own dodgy reading one. So once again THANKS STU! Top club spirit!!

Hi all! Sussex Stu has very generously sent me an injector to test against my what i suspect failed one. I`ve just ohm tested the injector and i`m assuming it needs not to be given a current or owt, or am i wrong? Because the ohm read 74 which if all being well on how i`ve tested it would indicate that it`s screwed as well..or am i wrong?
