  1. * would it save anything on efficiency or add a few bhp??
  2. Lol a good few points made Here, and my only counter point to that is, when I finished with he she will be under a cover in my garage. So resale isn't an issue. Cleaning steamy windows however is cause for some reason my rear window demister isn't working anymore and AC worked a treat last winter cause I was unable to find the fault
  3. As title suggests, am needing to buy a new air con radiator and also get it gassed, but now am thinking, why should I not go in the opposite direction, saving both weight and drain on the engine. Any experts or similar scenarios shed any light on this?
  4. Great info here guys, really answered all of my questions and doubts! Am changing cause a badge came again mine and therefore is shot, but I was thinking I could bling up the lower grill with a nice silver piece of kit behind it! Hence the question would a 10 row mishimoto work without compromising steering or straining any other components! never owned a turbo car but crave the intercooler look
  5. I was thinking a 10row or 19row one? Do they need to follow the same format as the existing one (a U pipe with fins surrounding) or can it be an open fill rad? Do u thinking either of them 2 would do? Also, are oil coolers/rads generally like an engine rad or are they plumbed on the inside thru a maize of pipes?
  6. Hey, I would class myself as a DIY mechanic but need advice on a wee upgrade am thinking! Can I replace my stock power steering cooler/rad with a mishimoto universal oil cooler/rad? Doesn't specify powersteering tho but it has a pressure levels and cacapacity, any of which I need to adhere to when using it for powersteering system or do just fill the reservoir to prefer level?
  7. I Know, if badgers made cars the safety rating would be thru the roof!lol
  8. Sorry my bad, only just clicking on that link now. Hmmmm decisions decisions. Will let ya know graham, still letting my heart rule my head but financial sense may prevail
  9. Cheers guys for all this help, I think i'l drop Clark motorsport a message tomorrow about the mishimoto combo, seen them about and have been swayed towards it for the shinny appeal!lol. But it's justifying the jump in price for them aesthetics! Graham, is ur fan unit stock or upgrade? Wasso, ur air con rad, second hand? How clean/new does it look? And finally, what prices are we talking for these 2 items?
  10. Hey, As title suggests, i need a fair amount of front end parts for my DE 350z. Not too fussed on new or used, but if am buying new, i would prefer upgraded/performance spec. Parts needed that am finding it hard to get hold of: - Main washer boittle - Front end clip unit (houses the water/oil pipes, p/s cooler and horns) - P/S cooler - Driver inner front arch Parts i require but looking good deals on upgraded parts - Engine Radiator - A/C condenser Radiator - Fan unit - Engine splash/sump guard And then just for the hell of it: - Carbon engine cover - Strut brace (red or polished or both) Thanks in advance for any help
  11. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/261751269986 Handy money for the V8 version! Hahaha
  12. Have u replaced ur banana arms yet? That usually the problem 90% of the time in these cases but am stumped cause I have mine upgraded and replaced already! ps it will he hard to tell if it is the banana arm or not by taking the wheels off, I just went thru process of elimination then bit the bullet and bobs ur uncle problem solved
  13. I bought my 2004 Gt spec 2 years ago with 95k and I picked it up for £4500 and to date, the only major money I spent has been a compete service a year in and performance upgrades! Touch wood!lol So in my experience I would have faith in a clean high miler if that's what ur looking to spend.

  15. It's definitely outside the cabin, when i say squeaky I mean like mechanical squeaky sound like something is worn/dry and it's only when suspension is under load like rough road surface and speed bumps. It's fine when on smooth road. I would have assumed it was the compression arm (banana) if I hadn't already changed both after my passenger fell fault that common knocking sound, which cured that problem. but this sounds different in the sense it's not the same clonking/knocking noise. How would a front shock behave if it was knackered? Oh and yeah the front drivers wheel areas as opposed to the sterring wheel.
  16. Anyone? Before I leave the pride and joy to a grease monkey to poke and prod at?lol
  17. Ps I think I have wheel bearing on its way out, but I can't imagine even with extensive wear that it would make that noise.
  18. I'm gettin a squeaky rattle noise when goin over potholes, speed bumps and even when tapping the brakes. It's not banana arm or bushes tho cause i replaced both and used superpro bushes just about 2months ago. Could it be the shock? Or what else is down there that it's affected with them movements? Cheers in advance for any advice or help!
  19. Can I replace the front component speakers with coaxial ones? :S
  20. Whoops, stupid slow Internet and my impatience!lol
