Hicas ellimination
Im planning on remvoing mine, seems extra weight that Il never make the full use of. Nissan did put time in getting it right but it only really helps in certain situations (ie 30-70 and progressive turns), in other situations it can make the back feel a bit "wooly"

Whats Piston Slap
biggest thing with zeds i would say is take the car to someone that really knows how the cars work /are put togeather! If you take the car to someone that doesnt know it you can end up swapping lots of random parts to solve something simple and common! This is also why so many different garages are telling you different things! Zed engines are pretty robust and guys are running them at over 140,000 miles without rebuilds so i would be suprised if you have enough wear for piston slap!

Again - brake pads - this time for gooved/drilled rears
had DS on my 200sx and they were great on track days and normal use! IF you got the cash they are great brake pads!

Windscreen Washer Jets
Thank goodness that on reading this thread you didnt ask where you could wire the lights on your washer jets too! (It seems to be fiarly common on zeds to have weak washer jets, if you search, one of the guys has produced a little guide on how to clean up the motor and contacts to improve the pressure/flow)

1/4miles and 0-60s vs torque converter
Im aware that if you drive a manual you shouldnt do too many 0-60's or 1.4miles unless your clutch is up to the job. Im just wondering if the same can be said for a torque converter in an auto box? Friction shouldnt be the same issue? I know the fluid etc will heat up and you will be straining the diff tyres etc but can the auto box take more 0-60 runs?

Media player codecs
im running media player 10 with the latest divx codec installed on 2 laptops and yet one mp4 (im pretty sure thats what it is) wont play on one of the laptops. Problem is this 2nd laptop doesnt have net access so i cant just connect and get the codec it thinks it needs. I have searched around the net, but havent been able to find a codec pack for media player 10 (only 9 and this is already in mp10). Both machines running xphome and pretty much got all updates on. Any way i can find out exactly what encoding has been used to make this movie, and then which codec i might need? Thanks all

Ignition circuit
Good! Guess i will have to do a bit of digging this weekend! Might just wire my own new acc circuit for my carputer amps etc with a new relay etc and just accept the old acc to switch the relay!

Ignition circuit
Work this one out! Checked the engine cont fuse all was fine, so went back into the drivers side footwell fuse box and replaced the rear wiper fuse that had blown and suddenly my entire acc circuit is back? Is this something to do with the way all zeds are wired or has someone fooked mine up over the years off after market radios etc being installed? Man this confused me!
-
Ignition circuit
No problem i will have a look, hope its that else ive no idea which bloody fuse has gone!
-
Ignition circuit
I had a look this morning before work in the large fuse box with the relays in and didnt see any large fuses at all? Had a look at my lables as well and didnt have anything like engine IC, had a small fuse for engine cont but that didnt look blown? If it helps my rear wiper doesnt work either? I will try and check that fuse later, tried this morning but couldnt get enough light into the fuse box.

Upping Boost
I always thought that colder air meant it was more dense to start with, so once it had ben though the turbos it meant even more compression therefore more air, therefore more fuel should be added. This works fine until the injectors cannot keepup and you start to det? Thats also why cars have more power with colder dense air isnt it? Sounds like the zed in question has plenty done to it so 16psi shouldnt be bad, but i would wait for the guys with the RR to tweak it..
