I get tick over smoke, from one exhaust, before I commit to buying new turbos from the US, and totally rule out the engine, (compression test results are ok) if I disconnect both pcv valves/tubes and so the block vents to atmosphere whilst the exhaust is smoking, if it was the engine thats worn in theory should the smoke from the exhaust stop?? Thanks

Anyone got a rough idea how much I should be paying for a retrim in an average quality black leather both front seats and the rear. Thanks

Anyone have any good or bad experiences with 300zx turbo rebuilds, am after two builds on my smoky units. Thanks

Where can I buy these from? Main dealer only? Thanks

Thanks, I understand Mintex only do the one sort of pad for the 300zx? What discs are you using with yours also? Thanks

I am looking at EBC and Mintex products. Can anyone offer any personal experiences with either? Also, struggling to work out whether green or red pads would be better for my car, the car never goes on track and rarely gets driven hard. The existing brembo pads that are on it now do seem to run out of puff though on the odd occasion I have braked heavy from speed. Thanks

I am getting a steering wheel shimmy when braking and suspect the torsion arm bushes. I have seen that you can buy replacement arms for less than £100, does anyone have these? Or can offer advice on where to buy? Or, are the bushes still available to press into the existing arms? Thanks

Thanks, I understand about the turbo driving the opposing bank, but what about exhaust side of the turbo? If the rear turbo seal had failed on the drivers side for example then the drivers side exhaust will smoke? Is there a blown up diagram somewhere that shows the route of boost? Thanks

It's been 12 months now since the turbos were changed. Compression test was done prior and results weren't bad. What are my options for new turbos? I realistically want brand new oem units Thanks

I am not losing oil or water. Car has done this for a couple of years now. I have changed oil several times and changed the pvc valves too. I have changed the turbos for used units which made no difference. Smoke is heavy white with blue tint and smells of oil. As soon as the revs are raised the smoke stops. Thanks

If I disconnect the pipe to the throttle body when my car is smoking on idle, should this show me if its either the turbos or engine if the smoke stops? Thanks

Thanks, as for Led strip did you just pick up a feed from the 501 supply? Cheers

Which bushes is it that can cause the steering wheel shimmy under braking? Also, nearside only front AND rear I get a clunking if I hit a pot hole? What bushes can cause this? Thanks

I replaced my bulbs for leds but they have lasted maybe 500 miles before one has completed failed and the others flicker. I have taken them out and reinstalled checking the connections but are the same. A link to a reliable led would be great if anyone has one? Thanks Dan

Saw it tonight in leek staffs, I was hanging out my sl gawping at you haha. Awesome car, really tidy, Who's is it?
