Mine did it when I bought the car on ~65000 miles. 3 years and nearly 40000 miles later, it's still doing it, but no worse than when I bought the car. Not worth worrying about, I'd say..

It would be interesting to see some rolling road tests, across the rev range, done with the engine up to temperature and the bonnet CLOSED and, I guess, a large fan blowing at the front of the car!

I've never heard of a "brake cylinder stopper"! The ebay auction doesn't help much, either.

What are they, how do they work, where are they fitted etc?

Thanks :)

I'm no expert, but I thought you couldn't buy replacement fobs for an existing control unit? I thought you had to buy the control unit and the master fob together...

I remember Richard Hammond driving one on the TV show a while back, as a small part of some piece. I don't remember what it was about, but I do remember that he was very complimentary...

Do you mean the wheel arch mod on the S14? I tried it, and I'm not sure whether it made a difference :(

How about this:

I'd try and replace all 4 shocks if I were you - it makes a big difference. You'd be MUCH better off with 4 new standard shocks than with AGX rears but knackered fronts.

Thanks. One more question, if you don't mind...

Tha car has Mobil 1 in the engine at present - do I need to do an engine flush when I fill up with the Silkolene?

Is there anything to bear in mind when putting the gear stick back in? For example, can it be put back wrong, or can you muck things up so it won't go back in?

Thanks guys :)

I guess I'll just ignore it then. Shame - I thought I had an excuse to use the angle grinder ;)

Actually, if it's a vibration damper then it's doing a lousy job!

Hi,

I recently bought my first 200SX (S14a, R reg) and today I noticed something odd about my exhaust :confused:

On the pipes a little before the rear silencer, something is attached to the...

I don't understand - what makes you think there's a 50000 mile service? It looks like 48 and 54 according to the schedule...
