i have the Fidanza flywheel - around 1/2 the weight of the stock one with no noticable loss in drivability & smoothness

Dont bother trying to clean them, just replace them. theres one either side towards the rear of the inlet manifold you'll probably need the hoses too as these go hard with age & its easier to cut them off. seems to have sorted my high idle problem :cool:

Cool!! :cool:

LMAO!! better explaination than ChrisC's Teapots!!!! :D :D :D

well if youve got code 55, all clear, then i doubt that the resistor will do anything anyway - its only of use if the det sensor is faulty. have you checked all of hoses for any boost leak?? maybe check the engine temp sensor, just in case the ecu thinks its too cold all the time to give full boost

Russ - you WILL get a better car on here than if you buy from a dodgy forecourt from a trader that knows nowt about zeds!! you say you want a nice clean one thats been looked after, but you dont want to pay for that privilidge!?! doesnt add up really does it :rolleyes: if you want the best, you need to spend a little more. :) many of the cars on here go for sensible money anyway IMO

ahhhh, so thats why you said it was a git James!! yes, a little confusion here - in that previous thread i was reffering to the Hicas link arm - the part that actually screws into the Hicas rack! it seems Dave (and you) are talking about the bush/ball joint that is pressed into the hub!! I would guess its a hub off & press out job. not actually done this job myself tho

Autodata say 9-12Nm

'ang on a min!!!!!! didnt you post this exact question & piccie last year??? ;) this place is getting like 300zx.co.uk.gold :D :rolleyes:

LMAO!!:D :D how about http://www.halve-the-mass-of-your-car.com :D

YES!! the valves are there to vent crankcase pressure ;)

the car has to be seriously knackered to fail the MOT visual smoke test!!

hi Mark i have conversion kits - they cost £25+vat (cost price to me) & consist of 2 new connectors & tubes of oil that actually change the oil thats used for R12 at the molecular level to be compatible with R134a the only problem i can see (on zeds) is that where they fit one of the service valves is quite tight & the connectors on R134a service equipment is a bit bulky. on top of this you will need R134a gas (we charge £50/kg) + fitting. HTH :)

oil filter is very easy to get to. :)

done mine on sat. the o/s one is easy to get to once youve got the bracket out of the way with a couple of electrical connectors attached to it. hth

also, if the tracking is out on the rear wheels it will cause this. get a 4w alignment done too.

NO!! - it was deffo peanut butter!! tho it was the oil in it that softened the rubber

they look good bud. how much were they?

there is someone that recommended using peanut butter. no im not taking the piss, & no, iv not tried it!!! :D

LOL!! walked straight into that one stu!!

if the vehicle hasnt broken down & its just booked in for repair work then i very much doubt they would provide a door to door delivery service!!

you da man :D

Most onboard diagnostics rely on the ecu recieving a voltage that is of a certain specification. outside of these figures & it flags a fault up as it must be high resistance or open/short circuit. so if its only playing up intermittantly it will still regester a fault.

erm, WTF are tyrefly's??? :confused:

see my reply in a previous post RE MOT emmisions test. but, yes they are related. HC is unburnt fuel, any misfire will cause poor combustion & high HC levels. check & clean all the connectors you can find in the engine bay!!, well mainly PTU, CAS, Coils, TPS, engine temp sensor. :) check the plugs/filters have been done & pray its not your valves not seating ;)
