Cheers bud, does he know his Zs?

Yes it's been standing around for a while.

Cheers bud :D

Where can I get some new PCV valves?, how much are they? And do they come with the short rubber pipe? Thanks Paul

Thanks bud you have really put my mind at rest. Do you think the car just needs a good run for the ECU to re-learn?

Once again another problem to solve, I'll start from when I bought the car. When I went to look at the car before I bought it, it ran fine with no smoke at all and it sounded as sweet as a nut. After a short time the car started to cut out on boost so I gave the car a full 60k service, I noticed the spark plug (the one next to the battery) was pretty dirty compared to the others. To cut a long story short, the car cutting out at high boost was down to a loose turbo pipe (problem sorted).The car was running really well but I did notice smoke on start up coming from the left side exhaust (standing behind the car) but the real problem started when I was coming home one night. Came onto the A1 and the car started to misfire so I took it real easy and got it home, lifted up the bonnet and engine didn't seem to be over hot but the coolant was coming out of some of the coolant pipes ( like there was too much pressure). I put the car to bed over winter and started to look for a performance rad. Yesterday I looked at the coolant and it has not gone down at all so I thought I'd start up the car to see how it would run (hasn't been started for over five months). Started no problem but was running really crap not very smooth so I turned off the engine and had a look over the engine. Couldn't see anything wrong so I started it up again and it run the way it should nice and smooth but after about 20s it started again. When I had a look around the back of the car I saw what seemed to be black water that had come out of the exhaust (pic one and two), I had a look at the coolant and it look good no oil and it was very clean. Next job was to look at the spark plugs and they also looked ok (pic three). It seems like some water has gotten into the exhaust and when I've started the car up it has blown out all the crap that has built up in their. The other side of the engine is fine but this side seems to have a problem. Does anybody have any idea? why is this happening? I'm going to replace the PCVs and see what that does, the engine still seems ok it doesn't look like there's any blown gaskets but I think it's more like a turbo problem.

Wow....how big. :shock:

Now that very nice, I see your old drivers seat cover was in good nick. What are doing with the old seat covers as mine are a bit worn? :D

Well I never.

I'm with Si on this one.

Check out the neck.

It's a Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray NAMM 100 Anniversary LTD. Top rock bass players always use Musicman Stingray basses. They were about £1800 new.

I got one of these only a 100 ever made.

A guitar man, nice one bud.

I never think about how much my cars worth, I do think about how much it would cost to hire a car with the same spec per day. Then I think it's cheap thrills.

I think you car will look the biz with an 99spec.

happy birthday mate. :D :duffer:

That's what I've got on mine.

No shitty transfer it's stitched.

This is a must for a manual, got it off here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-SILVIA-S13-S14-S15-300ZX-GEAR-BOOT_W0QQitemZ180103417783QQihZ008QQcategoryZ30861QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem and it’s perfect all the holes are in the right place and the leather is very high quality. looks better than the old one. :D

Square one’s are better for the Z, that way you’ve got a better chance of stopping.

It's nice to show up what people think are fast cars in your Z. :D

I like the Viper. it looks really good on Jeremy's.

Happy birthday :D :duffer:

Happy Birthday mate have a goodin :D :duffer:
