To anyone who had fitted Koni's on the rear
sounds like they are wrong to me.should have a circlip in a groove on to stop it. The circlip is so small it came off mine whilst i was letting the spring go on first attempt - seems alright now tho.

seals
When i first had my car i was showing a mate along a country road, when some pr1ck in a BMW was driving along not looking where he was going and ended up on the wrong side of the road coming straight towards me.:mad: After poopping myself I tried pressing the horn, this was the first time i had used it and found out how crp it was. Luckily he woke up and swerved out of my way, just making me touch the grass verge. Anyway the moral of the story is when I was going to check the horn it was half fallen off creating a pathetic drone, but even when it was fixed it was still almost as bad. Buy an air horn!;)

Sounds like a fuel problem to me. Maybe someone syfened all your petrol out while you where away.

Any tips on changing the rear shocks
Pretty straight foward, just make sure you get the cup which holds the spring up the right way unlike me and have to take it all off again when the car sits too high.

HELP Floods killed my Z
I have to agree with mark. why not take the top apart first, just the camshafts then you can see if the valves are stuck down. You didn't drop anything down whilst the spark plugs where out did you?

Paint
How many litres of paint do spray shops normally put on when spraying the complete car? Think paint at £453 a litre might be a bit expensive!

bloody pipes
I agree with you. I thought the pipes where supposed to be connected straight to the turbo wastegates, which are easiest to get to underneath the car.

HELP Floods killed my Z
Have you looked at the sump- it is almost as hard to get to as taking the engine out. you need to drop all the suspension. how long did the engine start for? will it turn the opposite way with a spanner on the pulley?

What tyre sizes on 18inch rims
Need my camber, caster and all that checking and probably adjusting, but ATS don;t seem to be able to do any except the tracking. Recommended Nissan or Gladwins. Seem to recon it will cost about £70-80 just for the check, then an hourly rate on top. Where did everyone else get there camber etc checked/adjusted?

Oil - Best type ?
After my engine rebuild i was using Mobil 1 fully synthetic but it used to burn quite a bit, since then I don't think it bedded the engine in very well (worked too well) so have changed to Magnatex semi synthetic and it seems to have stopped burning oil (touch wood). Don't really think you need fully synthetic plus it costs alot more. There has been alot of talk on this in the past - use the search.

Need Urgent Help Guys
Hi Mr. Smith. 1. Check brake fluid level. If ok I should get the pads changed and see if the brake warning light goes out. Check power steering fluid - normally makes hicas light come on. 2. Haven't got a clue. 3. Check the level in the gearbox. Is it auto or manual. If a manual does the noise stop when putting foot on clutch. Found out mine had no oil the hard way - new box. HTH

starter/flywheel problem
i had the same problem but only after fitting a new gearbox. I have to have washers inbetween the stater and the casing. I recon that turbo and non are very slighty different size. Have you had the correct one fitted.

engine cutting out at high pressure
I have a problem. Just fitted uprated intercoolers reset the ecu so not that. When under WOT and pressure gets high the whole engine just dies. It doesn't cut out as no ignition lights come on, just looses all power until the throttle is slightly lifted off. At moment the evc is running at 0.95bar. Was wandering if it is the injectors maxxing out, but the boost pressure isn't really that high, and it doesn't feel like it is running out of fuel more an electrical problem. can the ecu (SE) be cutting something out? Please help as it tends to be a bit dangerous overtaking. It cut out 3 times whilst overtaking one car with a lorry coming opposite way. Felt like a twat that couldn't drive.
