Black-zed

well a tip i picked up on the volvo owners forum was brasso if it is light scratching or jewlers past if it is deeper

just make sure you have a long extension bar for your ratchet from memory the one side you need to have ratchet at rear of the engine to loosen valve

well i've just bought a set of the rear subfram bushing collars from the u.s. same as these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270624005429&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT no instructions with them so which way do they fit? i'm guessing the top ones go in with the raised centre (shown in photo) towards the bush and the flat surface to the car body but which way do the bottom ones go in i thought perhaps the way they are shown in the pic but on seeing the collars after they just arrived i'm not so sure

isn't the piece on the back of the locks the same (the bit that fails plastic on a zed metal on a micra)

try contacting andy isherwood he has a few parts off breakers around at the mo

over run fuel cut? is that in the mapping?

not yet as injector seems fine when i was getting the misfire it was related to injector conector as it came off partially cause the metal clip is not latching on

i used to think white but now i'm on the darkside:ph34r:

well yes i did have a strange misfire problem on cylinder 6 a while back (which is the one with the dodgy injector connector) found it to be misfiring so i swapped coil packs with a working cylinder, misfire was still present on same cylinder i then swapped plugs and between both cylinders and it cured it was really strange made me thibk it may also be ptu problem as i've still got a series 1 ptu on the car at moment

well i've prgressed no further with this and the problem is still present i have so far replaced every vac pipe under the bonnet check connectors etc but here is the funny part it is only doing it if revs are below 2000rpm but not all the time now i did find a loose injector connector which has been causing a slight misfire every now and then so next course of action is replacing all the injector connectors

well to be honest dave, si (pk1) has offered to retrim them for me so i will take him up on that think prob the rest of mine just need a good clean to get them back up and as they are rear panels wont be quite so noticeable

hi all what would you say the original colour was of the tops of the interior panels (i.e dash,tops of door cards, tops or rear side panels etc) mine look like a brown sort of colour although i've been told it was prob originally black, the reason i'm asking is because on the tops of my rear panels the covering has all shrunk and despite heating and trying to restretch it all it has all just shrunk back again when it got hot, also does anybody know where i can get the orginal covering material? as i have someone offer to recover them but with vinyl/leatherette it's that or i just try and get replacement panel tops cheers all

dont forget bose is american and very highly rated over there, although i know why all my p.a. kit is bose and i wont use anything else the sound is fantastic

first pic is of jake, border collie, had to have him put to sleep in march this year he was just 16 when his back legs failed, had him from a rescue orginally 2nd pic is of rosco my current dog also came from a rescue think he is about a year old now, he's a german shepard/collie cross

looks normal the engraved plate on the top mentioned is prob the radiator bracket needed dan @ dta sells them

nice zed but check out that spelling http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-RED-/320578235472?pt=Automobiles_UK

there was yami as well what ever happened to her

very nice shine i nkow another black car in need of a polish lol

are you sure it's pinking and not noisey hydraulic lifters

well mine tried to kill me on tuesday just pulled out of a junction onto a up hill road got to a slight left hand bend, was only doing 20-30mph and the back just slipped out and i ended up on a grass verge against a hedge, no damage apart from extra body kit styled in grass and bruised pride.................................but as it was my birthday i was hoping to end up in a really quite different type of bush

sounds like over fuelling try cleaning temp sensor connector it may be giving ecu wrong reading causing it to push more fuel in

pretty sure it's 8mm make sure you use high pressure stuff though

cheers guys slight hangover this morning lol

cheers guys will try been out most of day, off to pub for copious amounts of beer later lol

looking at picture in wiring mod where your black relay is (nearest front of car) that is where the blue relay goes in place of it, as i said i think my white zed had a blue relay already but dont hold me to that as it was just over 4 years ago when i did the mod
