Following a link from another forum and i find this :cry: To say i was upset was an understatement, i really hope it wasnt any members car. [YOUTUBE]siVVyHVozbM[/YOUTUBE]

Hello. Well try my best to explain this.......... My car when rebuilt the first time was smoking quite alot(white smoke i believe) thought thsi might be down to the amount of crap that would have been put through the exhausts. After the engine was stripped down and removed it appears there was alot of fluids at the turbos? Can anybody inlighten me on this, could it have been the turbos causing the white smoke or could it be due to the crap that would have went into the exhaust getting burnt off? what could be the cause of the fluids? I sent the turbos away to silverbullet for re-con and balancing checks and i know he gets 100% feedback, so was thinki…

I havent been out in my Zed for about 2 months, have lost the bug completely, I have just started a business a month ago so its prob down to that. The MOT on the car is about to expire and am thinking about breaking my car as its worth more in bits, which I think is very sad, firstly to break and secondly that the car has a greater value in parts. I am reluctant to break, but its been on my mind for a week now so watch this space (or the parts for sale space). Cheers John

I know the manual 'box takes 75W90 oil, but my mate from Nissan checked his book and it says that for our cars its now been changed to 80W90 which he has supplied me, will this be ok? :nana2:

I've just done a few jobs on the car, new alloy rad, painted cam covers, new thermostat etc put it all back together and refit all the electrical connections and now the car won't start.I have run it through data scan and no faults show up . The temp sensor is a bit cracked and damaged could this stop the engine starting ? The engine turns and there is a strong smell of fuel out of the exhaust. HELP!!!

Today has been the first day that it has rained since i got my Zed.... and i'm sorry to say that she doesn't hold water so well... whats the score with the targa tops? do they all leak after time or have my rubbers gone or something like that? It seems that it is concentrated at the front of the panels, and a bit of water coming in on the passenger window seal Any advice?

when i first start the car , i hear a sound that sounds a little like , wait for it , tis tis tis tis tis tis ( if you say it over again your get the gest, any ideas what it migth be, its fine when shes warmed up etc .

went to see jeff on saturday to have a conzult unfortunatly (well fortunatly) there were no problems at all. so jeff took the car out for a spin. he then confirmed what i had suspected- it was really slow. after a bit of tinkering Jeff suggested the problem was with the recirc valves as i was only making 4psi and disconnecting the wastegate pipe only increased this to 5. i put on the replacement valves and the results were better but the car was still not that quick. after a bit of tinkering in the week i pinned the problem down. in my less informed first few weeks of ownership i replaced all the vacume hoses including the wastegate ones. guess wh…

if i can source some uk dials does it matter if they come out of a auto or a manual, also i guess they will still restrict the car (not like it matters)

Hi folks im thinking of switching to a smoothed healight panel rather than the one currently fitted. Ive seen a few in the rides section and i think it just looks very tidy what is other peoples views on what they have? http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/sxylado2/?action=view&current=IMG00016-20091006-1522.jpg Marty

Hi The polished hard pipes that are available, as i see it there are the stainless steel ones and the chromed ones, any body know what base metal is used on the chromed set, and are the ss ones worth the extra. Another quickie, i've got a polished Plenum, has anybody chromed one, and if so, how much, is it worth it, is it a big difference Thanks Richard

I have my Z booked in to have some work done later this month, i am not running it as usual because I think the engine may be dying, anyway, is it best to just leave it until I have to take it, or is it best to start it up once in a while - although I have heard this can cause head gasket failures ... ?? Thanks guys, Dan

Hi Guys Ongoing air con prob, well the compressor died, so i need to replace it, now i'm sure i cant just disconnect the pipes and remove it ..or can i? Now the old R12 gas/fluid was replaced with current good stuff so can i just let it drain away Ric

seen this good write up with regards to the z32 box. i wonder if it could be just a case of swapping bellhousings over? apparently there is only 3.5 mm difference in length in the input shaft. what do you reckon?? http://www.rbz32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=57#p208
