Mines a Jap import, and the headlight bulb does not match nissan, or halfords etc.. bulbs they are all single pin, and mine is a dual pin, does anyone know where i can get a man beam bulb for my headlights please!! urgently Matt

Before..... After..... :D Dunno about you lot, but does it make it look more modern?? The door still wants repairing though, but that will have to wait. There is no way to screwdriver my Z any more, I have removed the linkage that connects lock barrel to the door lock. My alarm locks the doors just fine, and also the lock handle in the car works too. If the battery goes flat..... I'll just get in through the boot...lol Thinking about it, I guess S13 guys could do this too, handles look very similair. Was quite easy to too too, remove lock that is in handle and countersink the outside face of the lock hole. This will make i…

Well she's finally sold, to a guy from Nottingham. Hope he enjoys being a Z man. He should do he got it cheap enough. I'd just like to thank everyone for the help & advice I've recieved over the last 18 months on this forum, because without you guys a lot of people could never own a Z. I'll still be having a visit to the forum from time to time. Go easy on the new guy when he's asking the old questions, we all have to start at the begining. good luck everyone. :)

Just been down to :x: halfords :x: to look at some alloys........ been told that these dont fit our 300's Anyone else herd of this they said the brake calipers are too big (although I asked about 18's not 16's) Just thought I'd ask as the boffins there didnt know what speed rating the package tyres were (I just said oh, and had the same can't be arsed attitude) They currently have 25% off packages so It would have worked out £925 for 235x18 front and 265x18 back Anybody enquired anywhere about these?

I am coming up for a new contract in a couple of months and wondered if you guys had any recommendations! I have an xda 1 and I think this is fab, but I am aware there are a few more modern pda phones out there and wondered what you guys recommend?

How long do you reckon it will take me to get from London to Brighton... ... on my clapped out old bike :hyper: Yep, on Sunday 20th June I'm doing the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton sponsored bike ride.

Evening all, well morning ;) Just started the grounding kit website off tonight - http://www.groundingkits.co.uk . Would be a great help if you could have a gander and tell me what you think honestly (not too honestly...) Big thanks to bluedwarf (http://www.nliconsultants.co.uk ;) ) for the IT help :bow: Obviously it needs a bit more work but the structure is there. Does anyone know why the error message in the order page comes up in German???? :confused: Cheers Pete

came up to a set of traffic lights today in town, and was behind an un-identifiable car, except for the legend TALON across the back. Never heard of it before, and there was no manufacture name to be seen anywhere. It had the standard euro size rear number plate on it, with a foreign plate on (LT?). Have done a little research tonight and have come up with this pic first, simular to the view I had, although I was directly behind it, Found the manufacturer to be Eagle cars, an american company. I have heard of them, but thought they were a british kit car company :confused: Anyway their site gave me these pics, so thought I'd post them, cant find any i…

Spotted this new Ferrari Prototype today in Knightsbridge.... as you can see, complete :xxx: :xxx: , even left the Supra badge on too :slap: (Side pic is a bit blurred but you can see the side badges too!) PS Thanks to Louise for taking the pics for our general amusement :) :cool:

find out how much traffic passes along a certain road without actually sitting there and counting? Is there a web site or organization that holds this information?

It's back from C&S at last! It's had an engine swap, Fidanza flywheel, RPS clutch, and pretend SUS induction. The engine was bought unseen and turned out to have Stage II TurboTechnics :hyper:, which is good and bad, see below - engine in a high state of tune has gone into a chassis in a lesser state of tune (stock exhaust) - plus auto engine on manual drivetrain - plus no boost controller. :x: Clutch action is HEAVY - but I quite like that. Adjustment was almost on the floor when Phil test drove it so he's adjusted it upwards now - but I think he may have over-egged the pudding because it now slips somewhere around peak torque. I have to say the bite point …

Can anyone tell me what is the 18" rim width size for a wide arch bodykit. I know the fronts, just want to know so I dont screw up on the purchase. ie offsets etc rim width etc.

how do you attach a picture from computer to signature?

does anyone take there engine out without the use of a garage. I have no garage, how long will it take?

As many of you know I have been working on the car over the winter and decided to to the whole widearch, sills, tailgate skin and so on. The plan was to do everything including fitting, painting and making the wheel spacers etc by myself. Not forgetting the full colour change from red to white. Not far away now so here is a couple of pics from the start and where it is today. Ive made loads of photos on the way so i might do a guide sometime to fitting the various parts incase any of you feel brave and want to have a go yourselves. paul

Any one been in recent years? thinking of heading out there in a few months.

Went to the South of France last month, near Perpignan. Got the ferry over, drove down in the Zed. Here's some highlights: EXTREMELY narrow road along side a Gorge: And from the rear (stay up rocks please!!!): The Gorge (spot the Zed!): Up a mountain in the Massiv Central: Buy wine! (Brought back about 70 bottles) Left with 4mm of tread all round, when we got back, the rears looked like this: Then I gave her a good clean, new tyres, oil change. Well done Zed! 2000 MILES! No problems AT ALL! :dance: Top speed, hmm about 110 on the way back to the ferry. Max miles per tank 315! I was on fumes!!! And the French …
