Hi Guys, Im in need of some help here as you can see in the pics on the drivers side i have minimal room like 10/15mm:mac1: What can i do?? Will it be enough for engine movement? Thanks Dan

hello all,just been brought to my attention,that not only does my fairlady have a glow rear panel(waiting for a new inverter) but glow sills too... however the drivers side is not glowing,there are fancy blue lights under the cockpit when the door opens could this have something to do with it??or will be a fuse?or wire connection? Please advise.............

Hi, Read lots of posts on here that suggest if the car is not jacked from the correct place, the wings could get damaged. Looking to change the oil this weekend, so is it OK to use the protruding sills just behind the front wheel, at the back of the wheel arch? This is the place I would normally have jacked up previous Nissans. Thanks.

Hi everyone, my mate was working on my car and he phoned me up and said there is loads of play in my back wheels when it is jacked up, we grabbed the wheel and 9oclock and 3 oclock and there is movement so i thought id better get the bushes changed, then we realised its rear wheel steer model and wondered if its meant to be there, please can someone shed some light on the situation. regards John

ive nearly got the car sorted now.. just one problem left. the car smells of unburnt fuel when on boost. i have virtually no boost leaks (i think the cam covers are leaking when pressurised as i have an oil leak there too) i replaced the recirc valves timing etc was spot on the only thing not really checked is the afm but i had a conzult last week which showed nothing unordaiary- is that correct jeff? no cats fitted btw i am going to remove the plenum some time soon to do the cam covers so ill replace the fuel rail hose. have i missed somthing or does the std map just run very rich when coming on boost

was on the way to work this morning and having a good drive through the countryside - came to overtake a bin lorry and the engine started juddering and i lost lots of power. the first thing i thought was damp filter but ive had this problem loads before and that is different in that it just cuts out once for half a second or so. what i noticed on driving was that being gentle on the throttle was ok, but when i started to build up boost, it started juddering again, and i could hear air escaping from what sounded like the driver's side near the front bumper. also it would try to stall on me when out of gear, but as long as i blipped the throttle then it would pick…

my turbo guage was working perfectly last week i have not used car for the week got in it this morning and gauge does not move from -7 any advice?

My cruise control hasnt worked since I bought the car. When I press the Cruise On button the green cruise light illuminates on the dash and the brown relay inside the passenger kick panel can be heard switching. There is a black relay beside it that I also replaced but I'm not sure what its for. My brake pedal switch seems to be working fine. My ASCD Control Box has this printed on it “18930 50P00, ET70-537DC12V, K3ZH". I see the ADCD modules on Ebay but they part number doesn’t match. I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer. My fuse box in my engine bay doesn’t have any relays for cruise control. My car is a 1994 Twin Turbo Jap import. I couldn’t find a …

I replaced my standard shocks with KYB AGX items a while ago. After fitting I noticed that the wheel arch clearance on the rear driver's side was much less than the passenger side (2 fingers vs 4 fingers). If I'm travelling at speed on the motorway and hit a "rolling bump" in the road that causes the car to dip, the rear tyre can actually come into contact (briefly) with the arch - not good :( All my suspension parts are stock apart from the KYBs (athough I was considering upgrading the other components at some point). Does my problem sound like worn or badly adjusted parts or could it be something more serious? Any recommendations or suggestions appreciated …

Some of these are quite nice, this green one is actually just up the hill behind my house. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1277453.htm love this interior http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1193696.htm

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

parked outside the Nags Head at approx 5pm on hucknall road on the outskirts of nottingham, had clear lambo lights, a high spoiler and reg was J*** JNP i think.

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.
