Where can I get outer sills?
Side Skirts are just a little bit of molded plastic and has nothing to do with the structure of the car. Sills do. ;) Doing this has made me decide not to get side skirts, as the sills could rust untill nothing is left and you wouldnt know about it. Stuart

Where can I get outer sills?
I need the 2 outer sills, as 163,000 miles of UK weather and loads of jack damage, not by me!, has left my outer sills in a ver bad condition. Where can I get outer sills from? The whole length thing. I looked on US sites but the only thing I could find where "Renforcemtent outer sills" is that what I need? If so they didnt give any option for 2+2 or 2 seater because they must be different sizes. I asked Nissan UK for them and they wanted £188+VAT each side, and if these renforcement sills are the things I need, they are $40 each. Maybe because they are a lot more common there. So does any one know where I can get the entire outer sill from. I could patch it, but my dad said if I am wanting to keep it forever (Hopfully:D) get it done properly, but if I want to scrap it in a few years we can patch it up. Its my duty to keep this Z on the road :D ;). So back to the point. Where can I get these sills from? Thanks Stuart

Temperature
The water stays cooler because it is circulating round all the time. When you stop your engine, the water stays where it is. If the water is in a place where it is hot, the water will get hotter and hotter, because its not being pumped through the radiator to cool down. Its like put a kettle on, but you had a pipe out of the bottom of the kettle where the water poured out and went through a radiator to cool down before its poured back into the kettle. The water will never boil because as the water starts to get hot, it leaves the kettle, cools in the radiator and the put back into the kettle, and it keeps going round, heating and cooling. However, if you stop the water from circulating round, the water in the kettle will boil becuase its not cooled down. Its exactly whats happening in your car. When you turn your engine off, it is still very very hot, but because the water is no longer moving around, the water inside the engine gets very very hot while the water in the radiator is cooler. The water temp is detecting the water just as it comes out of the hot engine. I bet the temperature came down with in 30 seconds of starting your car again. Stuart

oil pressure
I dont know. About 60 I think. It also depends on what oil you use, how much is in and how hot it is. Idle when warn should be 30psi I think. Stuart

playstation and network gaming
Some internet providers restrict the internet use to MAC address on Network Cards. All you have to do is find the MAC address of the Network Card in the Xbox and add it to the list of MAC addresses you will be using for your connection. Stuart
