Knocked a woman down in my Z a few weeks ago.

Knocked a woman down in my Z a few weeks ago.
What's hilarious is if you open the thread and join at the end all you have is this; Which reads as if zed-racer is some kind of sadist! Haha We have also learnt that; veilside is apparently from Texas, and grew up on a whale farm by the looks of it. Simon can run an old lady over after he has "past" "passed" or which witch is what... Spin doctor, well he is wondering if the woman had a mango in her pocket because that would mean simon left it out. (I jest with you all of corse) Glad the cars alright, I had this happen to me in Bristol but I managed to swerve and brake avoiding her, girl on her phone tripped off the curb. Not fun.

Basically a one way valve in the breather tube from the rocker to acordion, search sxoc you will soon find it. Yeah re welding the cat in may help, but if it's goosed it's goosed. Is it like a grey smoke, not white, blue or black.

Yeah sounds like you revealed a leaking turbo rear oil seal, you might be able to drive around with your aircon on and that stop it. Chances are if you refitted the cat it might work, you could do the one way valve trick to increase the negative pressure inside the block. (Bodge it trick the 200sx boys use) Pain in the ass really.

Im leaving the club after being stiched up on a purchase
Really sad to see this. Your a valued and knowledgable member of this community, I really hope this can be resolved without such a parting.

Autobox 'slipping'
Mine started doing this. Eventually everytime you accelerated it would just slip, revs would rise car wouldn't change speed. Came to the conclusion that torque converter was goosed. It went manual after that.

what colour for my wheels...
Baz, you should of spoken to me. Not only would I of looked at it for you, I know the car and could of saved you the journey. Always ask, if it's in my area I likely know of it or will be able to veiw it on the way to or from somewhere.

R32 to Z32 coilovers
That's really usefull cheers bud. I found that bilstien is 52mmx1.5mm that's what I read anyways. What I could do with is a set of stock front shocks, doesn't matter if they are goosed I only want to tar them to pieces and potentially use the strut top. I will reveal once in done how much using these skyline coilovers cost me.

de cat front pipes
Yeah Lexx's car is NA hence the noise. I have decats and mines not that bad at all, essentially I've got a pair of 2.5" pipes from the turbo back and a back box.
-
what colour for my wheels...
The colour they are is good, bronze works well on gunmetal cars. You gotta drop the arse on that thing though to suit the body modifications.

Looks like I'm going to have to have a coil locking ring made...grr

R32 to Z32 coilovers
Anyone got a set of Tiens they could check for me?
-
R32 to Z32 coilovers
Honestly, there are some seriously unhelpful companies out there, all I want to do is order something in a set size. Two of them basically said we can't help you it's not our product, one was as rude as to say I refuse to tell you what size we use, our collies fit our springs that's all that matters and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you...rude!

R32 to Z32 coilovers
Haha! ;)

R32 to Z32 coilovers
Uncle Gary did some proper measuring, I need 52mm diameter rings with 2mm thread pitch. Which it looks like is the same as bilstien and Tein.

That's great news Si.

Stalling problem, low boost and forgetting to connect the recirc valves?
Seems to me the best way forward here is hook up the vac lines to recirc properly and see if it solves the issue?

"Simply Japanese" - Beaulieu Motor Museum - Joint southern area meet
Il come back to do this properly later, technically it's smack in the middle if my area roughly. So no convoy to, however we can do what we did previously and meet at applemore tescos, about 10 minutes away. We can then drive in together.
