    The missing link?

    Hi Some of you will know that I've put an 84 turbo engine into my 86 car and that I'm having wiring difficulties. Much of the information I have come to rely on comes from the manual available from http://carfiche.com/manuals/ but the very page I need has a large section missing. It is page 9...

    Turbo time

    I've now owned my Z31 for 9 months ( longest I've ever kept a car ) and don't think I could part with it. It's nice to come out of Tesco's and find curious people gathered around it wanting to know just what the hell it is. Thats just part of the attraction, then theres the sweat, work, tears...

    Break Upgrade?

    Hi everyone I'm about to change my front wheel bearings which dont feel right. I had an advisory note on the last MOT regarding bearings, disks, and pads. I'd like to upgrade the breaks and this seems like an ideal time. I have heard that skyline disks/calipers are a straight swap over, but...

    Dents n Downpipes

    Since ive owned my Zed Ive been concerned about a flat looking dent in one of the downpipes directly under the manifold, I have had the opportunity to work on/observe probably six other Z31's and all have a dent in the same place. Is this dent caused by bad exhaust fitters or is it just the way...

    two exhausts

    Hello Hello Ive always felt that a V engine should have separate exhausts for each bank of the engine, if not for perfomance then just for sound and looks. I have a very tallented friend who makes sculptures from metals of all types who has offered to fabricate a new system for me. I'm not...

    Which engine?

    I recently had a z31 which I stripped for spares, many parts on it were from a turbo car inlcuding the gearbox. How can I check if the engine was a turbo or n/a model. Engine number is VG30761950A. Engine had no turbo fitted but I dont think its the origional because many of the bolts around...

    How Quick

    Just done a 0 to 60 time, as you do, and achieved it in 7.2 seconds in the wet with some sideways action. I find this a little difficult to believe, will the speedo still work correctly? bearing in mind the combination of manual box and auto differential, another factor may be the wheels. I...

    Clutch problems

    Hi Im having real problems bleeding my clutch. I read a post about starting from the master cylinder by removing the pipe and keeping a finger over the hole. I have a bleed nipple on the master cylinder, will this do the same job or did Nissan just put it there to confuse me??

    having a seizure

    hi Ive almost completed my auto to manual conversion with some help from Neil300zx. I have two problems, well three actualy. First is that the clutch slave cylinder needs a new seal but I can get one of them easily. The other two are both the drain and fill plugs on the gear box, which are...

    High Octane

    I'm sure that, like me, many of you search out those petrol stations that sell the higher octane fuel. Where I live (West Sussex) the highest I can buy is 97. I don't know if this is the highest available but, whilst in the motor factors I noticed a little bottle on the shelf called "nitrox...
