been stripping my zed
sure its dribbling in? would have thought it would struggle to get past tbh. but certainly yes it would cause the smoking if oil was getting in there

can take a few thousand miles for the crap from the pcvs to clear out. might be worth doing a leak down test, while your busy.

Hot centre section
silly question and dont take it the wrong way, is this your first rwd car? often people who are new to them are suprised by the heat coming from the tunnel because they have never had a gearbox in there before. :D

Urgent help for groover
assuming that the pump was working and that you havent take it apart, it sounds like an air lock, if the pulley is rotating it should be working. ive just had the same issue, i had taken it apart and put the internals in 180 degrees out seriously easy to do.... i jacked the front up makes it easier then worked from lock to lock with the engine off, cap off and filter out of the pot. you will see loads of air come up when going from lock to lock. then once tahts stopped fire it up and carry on till no more comes out an assisant makes life easier. other than that you have the solenoid and the electrical system taht controls that. very frustraing isnt it. and youve def put in auto trans fluid not just normal powered steering fluid? probally teaching you to suck eggs. can take ages btw.

fookin fuming
i hate people that dont control thier dogs, if you cant see it your not in control. winds me right up when a dog comes bouncing through the bushes and ambushes you no owner to be seen, these people really should think more like you said imagine if that was a nipper! my dog is a little shite, hence why he doesnt come off the lead. he wouldnt do much damage cos its only small but i dont trust him, so he doesnt get let off simples!

Fitting an NA rear diff to a TT
thats an awesome discovery shame the tt wont just hold the gtr diff, make life a doddle. could the tt diff housing potentially hold the na gearing.

offset help
right this is my maths. (rim width/half) to find the wheels centre. then plus or minus the offset to find out where the rear face of the wheel would sit. by that centre line so. (rim width/half)+? then measure the resulting number from the hub face out to the arch and see where it lies..... is that correct? ie a 245 rim with an offset of -33 would sit 89.9 mm away from the hub face. :detective: i think im right its just i cant spell very well and the maths isnt exactly top notch neither.

Good 300 mechanic

-
Power steering pipes diameter
right internal diameters of the pipe i used are, 10mm and 19mm i also used a 21mm 90 degree joiner and the 19mm slides onto this without too much brute force.

rays alloys on the z32
apprantly the works ones are 245 wide with an offset of 33. so by my maths i did (245/2)-33=89.9 i then measured from the hub face this much out giving me a a pretty damn nice stance. but then thats my first ever go at working it out.
-
no heating in the car
agreed with jaikai the heater matrix has probally been disconnected to stop heat coming in or because the matrix leaks.
-
rays alloys on the z32
im looking at several wheels atm i do like the rays but im also looking at some works aswel. but the rears are offset 33 running 245 tyres on a 265 rim i believe. they are both about the same money. just cant decide atm
