Thanks mate

Can anyone tell me where i can get a piston seal kit for my front calipers, the brakes seem to be binding on at slow speed since i fitted new pads and calipers. already tried nissan but they are way to expensive, approx £45 for piston and seal, each!!! thanks aktar

How much did you pay for them please ? £80 pounds for the pads (portfield) from Smithy. Just ordered some DBA 4000 series discs from smithy, he reckons these are the one to go for. cant wait to get them fitted ang get rid of that horrible grinding noise.

Thanks for the advice guys, I was leaning towards getting new discs, i dont think i would skim the discs for safety reasons. Apart from brembo's what other discs are available? i think i read somewhere on here about larger disc conversions, could any point me in the direction for the best people to speak to about this?

Need a little advice, fitted a set of portfield pads on the weekend, when i drove the car i noticed a grinding noise at low speed or when i was slowing down. Had a check and found that my discs were wearing a groove into the pads. now i knew the discs were warped when i fitted the pads but i thought the pads would just take the shape of the disc? Do i need to buy a pair of discs or should i just let them wear in a little more? If i need to purchase discs what would you guys recomend? Thanks Aktar

i think zed parts has now changed its name to spl parts, the link bleow will take you to bov fitting giude http://splparts.com/doc/HKSBOV/default.htm HTH aki

paul, the flywheel looks realy good, price is also very good mate. did you fit an uprated release fork pivot? the reason i ask is because some on here mention something about the original pivots not being strong enough and breaking, jun seems to sell uprated versions of these RFP ive attached a link below. let me know what you think, or if any one else out there has experiance about this please comment http://www.junauto.co.jp/products/drive-train/fork-pivot/index.html?en

peter, how you doing mate, so youve finally decided to buy a z i hope you enjoy at much as your supra. if you need any help with the stereo just give me call at the shop (evening) or come down and see me. Aki

adam thanks for the reply mate just a few more questions. when you say you had to block off the inlet, which pipe do you mean. is it the pipe at the top or bottom of the rad? also did you have any problems filling it up with antifreeze, the reason i ask is because when a flushed and refilled my last car i didnt open the relaese valve and ended up getting air lock and cooking the cylibder head gasckett. Cheers aki

i ve got loads of brown and orangy stuff in my radiator and think its about time i got round to flushing it. whats the safest way to flush and refil it so that i dont get air locks. also will i need to flush repeatidly to get rid of all the crap thats inside the radiator. Cheers Aki

cheers Roy

has any one on here got these kind of dump valve, if so could you answer a few questions for me please 1. which type of turbo xs valve have you got 2. where did you get them from 3. do they require any special kind of fitting kit Cheers Aki

i got mine from gps aswell Mac, cant really say i saw much if any difference in performance, what i did notice was that the car didnt idle a smooth as before. mac which type have you got s401 or s35i? Aki

I think ive also got the same problem, my power steering makes a funny whenever i turn at slow speed i.e when parking. Duffman- I tried ringing you last night, is your phone fixed yet? is it difficult to change the part of the power steering your refering to. Cheers Aki

Dave- it was SEM that i went to, he wanted £150 of me as well. Dave i see your based in the north east, have i seen you around? what colour is your car mate Aki
