Count me in fellas, obviously will meet you there as I live in Germany, will stay for the whole trip for sure. Dates wise im unavailable up to and including May. If I can help out with anything this end please give me a shout.

In the British Army as an air door gunner on the Lynx helicopter. Get to fly around Europe every day as I am based in Germany. When fighting bad guys we bolt a machine gun to the side of it and give them the good news, full metal jacket style. Pretty good job I reckon as I'm in Morocco at the moment on exercise doing the good thing and did Kenya earlier in the year. On the flip side tho off to nasty places in January.

I think a set sold on here recently for about 250 quid

The workmanship is spot on I think, bit over the top for my liking to be honest tho. Best E-Bay advert I've ever seen.

Still waiting for the brackets mate, will let you know how I get on

No idea mate, would think so as the 350z runs 18's I think, as said before its clearing the spokes thats the issue, small wheelspacers might be an option. Get the brakes off that white import where you work and have a trial fit LOL

Hi mate, Looked at the Range Rover items and decided they were to big to fit sensible wheels. I'm running 18's and it they wouldnt fit. I went for 350Z discs, the brembo caliper cars have 324mm discs and they fill my wheels nicely and i've got Maserati branded brembo's to go on. Dont forget about the custom brackets, this was the bit that caught me out and I've had to have a set made from scratch. A popular upgrade seems to be skyline or evo brembo's Hope that helps a little, Rob

Dont like the yellow car, sorry. only my opinion tho.

Awesome pics fellas, however it aint helping and I'm now crying into my bottle of wobbly (Warsteiner beer) :rofl::rofl:

Oopppsssss, that'll teach me to watch tv at the same time :rofl::rofl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380157312050&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT What a plonker :rofl::rofl:

Ha ha, stripping the dash is on my list to do before Morrocco. Got a stainless system, rip-off of a Koyo I think, looks good tho. Been on lve for the past 2 weeks, back in tomorrow aswell :headvswal:headvswal Good to hear about the smoke issue, its frickin soul destroying to find new problems, I'm proper threaders with it. Fancy a brew in coffee forum at some point tomorrow? Got to nip down to Nissan tomorrow but should be able to make it at some point

Might be of interest to somebody?????? Good deal or a bad one??????? What do you guys think??????

Monaro for me everytime. Was behind one the other week and felt a twitch when the bloke booted it off the lights. Just get the hairdryer out and remove the Vauxhall badge, only bad bit about the car IMHO :rofl::rofl:

Sweet mate Ill hold you to that LOL. Hopefully gonna have a bash on her tomorrow, new radiator going on and then oil leak finding afterwards. Come down if your free, car is outside a garage just down from the MRS

Hi Guys, Anyone got any tips for checking for a oil leak from the drivers side rocker cover. Tried to get my head in there but cant see pretty much sod all LOL. Tried getting my arm in there to see if it leaks on me but I'm clearly massive and dont fit LOL Cheers fellas, Rob

Will do mate, cheers for the help this evening. Off to Morrocco with work on the 25th so hopefully will get it sorted before then. Otherwise wont be till November sometime!!!!!!!!! :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal

Found the thread and link to a guide. Want to have another proper look first before i start removing stuff I dont need to LOL. Hopefully get this sorted soon as Ive missed the summer due to other problems with her.

I didnt mate, was before my time but I have the receipt. They were refurbed standard items. How much of a pain in the crack is it to take the plenum off? I'm in Germany and Jeff aint really an easy option. All I have is Nissan down the road and DTA in Holland

Cheers for that Al, Will have a look at the rocker cover, I'm assuming its a plenum off job is it that?????? Forgot to say earlier the turbos were replaced 20,000 miles ago

Just from the exhaust from what I can tell, cant see anything dripping down from the rocker cover as there is to much stuff in the way. Have put a new oil filter and oil in her so will start her again tomorrow hopefully if not Monday.

Smoke was black :headvswal:headvswal The oil is a steady stream and starts a couple of seconds after the engine is switched on. Needless to say it hasnt been switched on since.

Pics added fellas. Not great I know but best I can do at the moment http://s791.photobucket.com/albums/yy200/robhughes7470/?action=view&current=MyCar010.jpg http://s791.photobucket.com/albums/yy200/robhughes7470/?action=view&current=MyCar011.jpg http://s791.photobucket.com/albums/yy200/robhughes7470/?action=view&current=MyCar012.jpg

Hi there everyone, Potentially bad news concerning the short term future of my ZX. Started the car the other day to keep it ticking over (she's been having work done on her and been off the road since May) I noticed an oil leak and smoke coming out the back. Got the car on jacks today and had a look, the oil seems to be coming from the RHS turbo, I think the back of the housing, a mate thinks it might be the rear bearing seal. I cant see if the oil is coming from the head and dripping down or anywhere else for that matter. Will upload a couple of photos later when the other half gets back with my camera cable. :headvswal Any help with this would be great, either poss cause and ways to fix it. She is really running the risk of getting pushed into the sea :rofl::rofl: Rob :bow::bow:

Number 2 for me without a doubt. Number 1 is a bit skinny for me and 3 is a right misery. However I dont think I would kick any of them out of bed for dropping crumbs ;)
