  1. Are the cam boxes the same as valve covers?
  2. Is it somethign to worry about if it's leaking? Will I need to look at changing the cam boxes?
  3. PM me with details pleeeeeeeease! Sorry mate my internet stopped working - only just back on. I got them from america, forget which site now. They worked out at around £70 shipped so pretty cheap. Don't know if they'll work or not yet and will experiment one weekend when I have some time, maybe this weekend coming
  4. I have a plenum spacer, and it's the back 2 spark plugs that had oil in the chamber. I think it's the front two that benefit from a plenum spacer. Could it explain the oil in there?
  5. I've just changed my spark plugs, and when I''ve changed cylinders 5 and 6, the old spark plugs have been covered in oil, leaving some in the chamber. Is this normal or does it indicate a problem?
  6. I've bought me a set, only delay being that i don't have the time to get round to it at moment. There's a guide on my350z
  7. My gearbox makes loads of noises, but so does my clutch, flywheel, drive belts, suspension, fuel pump and my dodgy CD's in the bose. Most are normal, except suspension stuff. Maybe an owner near you can have a listen and give their opinion. Or demand a test drive in another car at Nissan, and if it doesn't make the same noises then it's not normal and they haven't fixed your car
  8. I'm a bit snowed under at work at the moment, but you can help me out with my workload if you want given you obviously have so much spare time on your hands Didn't someone once say that the bio ethanol additive in the Tesco's petrol wasn't good for the Zed? Makes my Zed sound more throaty
  9. They are quick cars but the one that could really embaress a Zed is an ST with the £500 Mount tune upgrade - 0 - 100 in about 10.something. Very rapid.
  10. Nice one A lot of people say it's sad being a forum member but this is proof that it's actually a really helpful and worthwhile community. to ZMANALEX
  11. The 370Z has a few downsides, but I reckon when it comes time to change cars a lot of people will swap to a 370Z. It's not enough of an improvment to upgrade early tho, esp considering it's fugly. Now if it came with 400bhp. . .
  12. Not a fan - the back end is too square and doesn't suit the front IMO.
  13. There's not being fragile, and then there's being thrown all over the place by royal mail!! I can wrap it in cling film and bubble wrap, but no amount of packing will save it if it's squeezed between a load of heavy items, then reversed over and then thrown towards someone's front door Saying that, I was impressed with Royal Mail after the Top Gear race...
  14. The Pipercross was bought from BigPhil and fitted Feb 08. I took it off Feb 09 after doing around 10k. It comes complete will all parts required to fit except one bracket which broke. It has a heat shield and metal pipe. It's in good condition, but does have the marks you'd expect having been in an engine bay for a year. Here's the pics: And this is the broken bracket. It fits the bottom of the heat shield to the car. I've tried to draw on where the bits have broken off, and where the bolts would go, but it's not a very good effort The bolts are on the car already. It should be pretty easy to fabricate something, but I had it fitted without this bracket and didn't have any issues. I'm looking for £80, and postage is around £10. I'm also selling a carbon Varis arising lip spoiler that has never been fitted. Got it last year as a spur of the moment purchase, then changed my mind about my modding plans. It's as new. Looking for £350 (cost just shy of £420 on a traders site). I would rather this was collected due to it being fragile, but will look into postage if anyone is serious about buying it. It weighs basically nothing so shouldn't be too expensive to post. I've not taken any pics but it's the same one as on here: Varis Arising on Z-Store Please PM me with any enquiries, or let me know if there's something I've missed off.
  15. Ah right, didn't realise it was a solution. I will give it a go on an enthusiastic day.
  16. How mate? Mine's doing the same thing so looking for the solution
  17. + 1 - when he walked to the stage he didn't walk like any other stig we've seen walking around in the challenges. My mate ('s mate) was the stig once when they fired the jag from the Navy ship. They had a competition on board and the winner got to wear the stiggy outfit.
  18. Can make you feel queezy if you look at them for too long Really impressive work and a bit of a mind screw.
  19. I'm undecided, have you got a picture from further away? How about just blacking out your reflector strip?
  20. Believe it's like being told how to suck eggs, but better than 3 points IMO. It used to be £120. Guess everyone was going 'sod it, just give me the points and I can go the pub with £60 saved' Mind you, dealing with the authorities can be sobering sometimes, like when I've had a cop car following me for a bit I drive much better even after he's gone. Stops you being complacent
  21. Well it's saved you some time over the weekend scrabbling around in your footwell anyway
  22. Have you spoken to ZMANALEX in any depth? He seems to be indicating a solution and offering advice. He's a very knowledgable bloke
  23. Can't really take a picture of a creek Mark Mine does it now and again, will have a look at the weekend to see what i can find Thread was 2007 Mike - hoping M350ZB has sorted his problem out by now and can enlighten us mere mortals
