It's not exclusively about oil, but it plays a significant part. It's not just about who owns the oil, it's availability and supply. Why else does the world oil price rocket when OPEC realise that the significant percentage of the oil from Iraq may no longer be available for a while. Oil was a signifcant factor in the last conflict and just to prove we couldn't do without their oil we insisted they supply it to the west and gave them food in return - certainly beats a South African or Cuban style trade embargo, eh ?

It could be the diff itself although that would seem pretty unlikely. Diff bearings - maybe ... Fuel pump can make some funny noises

Dunno anything about the specific models you mentioned but if the impedance is the same then I would say yes you can. However, speakers don't pack up that often, could it be that something else is broken, eg. plugs, cabling, sound card etc ....

LOL - my neighbours really will think I'm running a garage at this rate ! Glad to hear you got home OK - make sure you check there's no air locks in the coolant when it's cooled down a bit.

I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. Try it and see ....

I'm seriously considering defecting to Toyo's for my next change (quite soon) and if they're crap then I'll be coming round to all you Toyo lovers and demanding a refund ! LOL :D

Haha - I have a box of nuts and bolts left from other peoples cars ! LOL :D

I've been to places where they don't always get it right when they balance the wheels Krap-Fit. Consider trying someone different to 'verify' the balancing is correct.

It has to be agreed that war is fundamentally wrong, however in some cases the end can justify the means. I would feel considerably more comfortable about the whole issue if the US (and to lesser extent the UK) strove to address all opressive regimes, rather than just ones in which they have a financial interest. Peace (hopefully)

Surely ChrisC should be on here talking about his silver grand piano he has in the back ! LMAO :D

Andy, Could they mean a core plug ? Is there one down there somewhere ?

I hope they don't wear anymore quickly than my Bridgestones, I have trouble stretching them to 8K !!!

On the contary, mine was wearing the outside of the tyre !

I had the same (hence the service bulletin getting published!) but I also discovered that when the top link was at that extreme of wear it was causing uneven front tyre wear ! http://www.300zx.org.uk/nissan_bulletin.htm

First things first, take it to a decent type fitters who have dynamic wheel balancing (most do these days). Should cost no more than £10. After that then we can think about other possible problems.

Dunno - ask the Aus guys would be a start - http://www.aus300zx.com

Boy, am I glad I don't have a UK car ! ;)

Replacing the unit itself is pretty straightforward. It's not actually the bearing that dies, it's the rubber support that collapses, the alternatiev part from ProDrive is mentioned on the Aus site

Yeah, driven one, like a rocket assisted blamange ! Does 0 to 100 in a silly time and would probably do the same towing a caravan or a coach. Shite suspension and handling though - seriously point and squirt.

This is what I posted recently

Whatever, get one that collects the grass cuttings, then no matter how long the grass gets you never have to sweep up the cuttings afterwards.

No difference between an import or UK spec battery. Just make sure the terminals are round the right way. Many batteries are provided in two models, so double check before you take it away ...

Tea break over ?

Why would you want more back pressure, the object of an exhaust is to remove the products of the combustion process. The situation with 2 strokes may be a little different because they can rely on back pressure in certain places in order to create the standing pulses and scavenging effect that can help to move gas from one place in an exhaust to another. There was a guy called John Robinson who wrote a number of books on motorcycle design, but he also covered both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine theory. Always interesting reading ...

One day in the future, George Bush chokes on another pretzel and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got some folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Bush thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first room. In it was Ronald Reagan and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No," George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long." The devil led him to the next room. In it was Richard Nixon with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented George. The devil opened a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush took this in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go."
