urgent hicas question as i'm stranded
It's likely the one that runs along the front subframe, they rot out. It was probably just one step to far and it's torn/seperated(popped off)/split etc. fill it up and see where it comes out. I take it the reservoir is empty?

urgent hicas question as i'm stranded
Sounds like the fluid has drained out, without it you have no PS. It will be heavy as arse. You could try limping it back by topping up the res but u suspect something popped off.

Look what just sold!!!! £5000+
That was the first thing I looked at, it's an extremly late car. No boost gauge etc certainly not a series 1. Tbh is 5k too much for a late spec car? I don't think it is no. If a bidding war had started between two parties then yes certain could happen. Time will tell if the monies get coughed up hopefully they will show up here, where they will be welcome. That bumper takes about 3k off the market value of that shorty mark.

Now with the size of our engine bay ....
Yeah 3cyl engines always sound great... There was a 1L or 1.5L cosworth that made 1000hp at 12000rpm, it was a mid 90s block Si hardly new.

My SWB Zed...
Thought they'd be that kind of cost, £180 plus tax and post from oz. so circa £400 to source and fit the calipers then you need discs too.

Welded diff VS HICAS
That's a lovely idea. Great way to decide if you want HICAS or not there's only one problem. The main cause for concerns with it is it's broken. No amount of disabling it's hydrolics is going to fix the rice pudding that is supposed to be your hicas bushes. By all means delete it, I will be, just realise that the car has had 20+ years of stress on all those components. It's be tired after all those years lugging all that weight, Infact I am tired, I need a lye in someday.

Welded diff VS HICAS
Tbh mate it will be far more predictable and easier to control without bloody hicas.

Leather armrests where to find?
No worries. :D

Welded diff VS HICAS
As above, hicas isn't related to the diff. Unless it's faulty it shouldn't be operating out of a certain speed range. The vicious diff may well be your problem and therefore ways round that. I would recommend you speak to sy-gt and cowpatmatt, the later is a semi pro drifter who drives a z32. If there's cosiderations to be made he's likely done it.

Nissan Is Probably Cooking Up A New Turbo Z
I don't think we will get what you guys are expecting. The z33/34 both performance and budget wise are more like the s13/14 they're certainly not upto par quality and performance wise to what the z32 was 25 years ago. The z32 was equal to the r32, the z34 is no where near equal to the r35. The r35 really is an r34 z32 concept, coupe looks v6 platform 4wd and bags of power. So niether skyline nor zed hence why the skyline badge is dropped opting for simply GTR. I would expect the new z35 to cone with various options including a 4pot turbo. Don't go expecting a sleek 5-600hp super coupe :(

pop pop bang flame?
If you were using it as a drift car or other high rev applications, it would be better for engine longevity. Less chance of det. Many high performance modern cars are rev limited like this anyways, rather than the traditional fuel cut method. For most people esp the civic crowd it's for show. I do however like the idea of spitting flames during a full boost gear shift like a rally car or full blown race car.

Basically the rich mixture that comes out the exhaust, as obviously the no spark scenario causes this, explodes as it hits the heat of the exhaust. You will notice that black smoke cones with It, that's the rich mix showings It's not overly
