Perhaps its just Beatrix (my zed) being fussy!, LOL :)

Iridium plugs.........
definately running a lot better now than it did with the iridiums in...........how can a plug thats too short be as effective as one thats the correct lenght?, and we're talking a good few mm shorter.

Iridium plugs.........
Were ok at first but havent lasted long at all.....would never use them again.would check the lenght if I was you, as would say if they arent long enough as mine werent the spark wouldnt be very effective.

Iridium plugs.........
This topic has probably been done to death, but here it goes..... Following on from jeffs advice at zedworld on wednesday (new cambelt, waterpump and thermostat fitted.......thanks all at zedworld :) ) bought a set of standard platinum NGK plugs and changed them today.The irdium NGK's that came out were the ones listed for a zed, but look at the difference! Cant get over how much shorter the iridiums are!.The engine is now running so much better throughout the rev range, feels more powerful and its cured my lumpy idle, so thanks jeff........i will be giving iridium plugs a wide berth! :)
-
To track or not to track???
If you got civic bits coming out of your ears i'd go down that route......better than stuffing the zed into a tyrewall or armco :)

Motorbike rental
seen that end in tears sooooo many times!.Worked at a Yamaha dealers for a year and the amount of new riders that bought R1's etc and ended up in a ditch within a couple of months was unreal and quite scary. Gonzo...the above is no reflection on all riders, just my experience, and no disrespect intended :)

Idling/running issue
If the car has been stood for a good while i would try fresh fuel, as going by the gauge there isnt a lot in it.Modern fuel doesnt keep like it used to, and goes stale. oil pressure looked low as well, or is that just the gauge?

I would have said if the cas is turned fully anticlockwise it compensating for the timing being out, if my understanding of how it works is correct.............

Brake pedal pulsates with 350z discs......help!
Wouldnt use anything other than a torque wrench :) Checked the discs with a dti this morning and they were warped so got them reskimmed and they are now perfect.just got to do some steady miles now to bed the pads in.Also took the opportunity to repaint all the calipers so it all looks spot-on :)

Brake pedal pulsates with 350z discs......help!
Evening folks, today I fitted 350z Track discs with caliper relocation brackets and 300zx calipers.The discs have been skimmed, but the brake pedal pulsates when braking and the car shakes if braking from any sort of speed.Can the discs being the wrong way round (check out the grooves in the photo, drivers side) cause this, or could it be a sticking caliper?.Braking was fine with old setup by the way. Going to get a dial gauge on them tomorrow, just thought someone might have an idea if the discs are 'handed', left and right.

If you are changing to a manual box from an auto its a bit more involved......if its an auto out auto in its a straightforward swop.
