More problems part 3
Likely you have a small leak. Check the pipes at the rear where they start to go over the axle. A resourceful mechanic should be able cut away bad section and fit in new bit with joints. Nissan dealer will likely use std replacemant part = arm+leg!

Engine struggling at top end.
Hmmm, you need to check air, spark and fuel. Any restriction the breathing? intake a bit clogged? air filter choked? Intercooler not operating properly? Ignition timing out? Det sensor doesn't function above 3,500 rpm. Now check fuel supply.

Any one use Linux?
You will find all you want to know about Linux by using Google and searching the web. You could even buy a book or two. This thread should not be in this forum - hardly Zed specific!

Alloy wheel size problem
You'd need 205/30/20 to keep the same diameter. That's a thin aspect ratio! Ride iffy. Try the main American site - somebody there might have done. You would be very bold to try it! ;)

If you could change the colour of your Z what colour would you do?
I see from another thread in the private forum that you are going to do some very serious work. In that case, sure change the colour. Royal Blue towards indigo/violet? Get the paint shade cards out!

Anti-roll bars
Has anyone replaced their std arb/asb with an after-market kit? e.g. Suspension Techniques. Did not notice when last under my Zed but I think that the std units are hollow and relatively thin

I've just bought three of these gauges from icon along with pod and other bits. Look ok to me; not yet arrived but I'll let you know. Should be more accurate than analogue gauges.

Update on Nibbler's Dead Zed...
Are the sparks plugs leads on in the right sequence? (That may be a duh question.) Is the timing right? Just because the plugs spark out does not always guarantee that they will under compression. (PTU is known to fail on Jap Zeds, up to '90 I think.) This site has a lot of tech help: http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/tech.aspx I may have caught this prob part way but was the car ok one day and not the next or had you been doing some work on it? It's only a machine so there will be answer somewhere - 'tho perhaps you have been a bad lad in a previous existence and this revenge........ (Just because you are paranoic does mean to say that they are not really out to get you:D )
