after my suspension tuning ive noticed that i get a fair bit of scrubbage (esp. on the nearside front) when i travel over even slight bumps at speed. Chris (the suspension chap) and myself identified the main culprit as being the small rectangular bit of plastic near the top of the inner arch which houses one of the arch screws. the problem is mainly from this one side as we also identified that my (far from genuine) bumper is very slightly closer to the tyre on the nearside than it is on the offside. ive done a bit of research into arch rolling, but even though its only the inner arch im interested in, being a fibreglass bumper im worried about damage being don…

Paid for some stuff 2 weeks ago and it aint turned up yet.:confused: he's had reasons but 3rd promise hasn't materialised. I'm sure there is a valid reason but I need it this weekend

A momentary loss of concentration and wham! take a look at the photo's below and you have to feel for the owner, don't know the full details yet but can see this zed has had some serious money spent previously and now the ins. co. are playing Silly Billy's sadly the damage is extensive, the corner has been pushed back and down, the inner wing is creased all the way to the bulkhead, unfortunately previous repairs to the chassis leg are evident in photo 6, photo 1 shows an alarming difference in the steering track! IF ( ? ) this becomes a rebuild project will document it and the post it up if enough interest. Jeff TT

I have 300zx but this is about my pajero. If you know about E markings on tyres, could you check this thread out and tell me if an E9 R106 tyre is road legal? http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=98654 I'm at me wits end with what is legal and not, I've phoned the cops, VOSA and the supplier and still can't get any proof to show my MOT guy :(

Car.mad wants to make Fibre glass copies but he needs a set to make the moulds from first... any available?

...are our cars legally required to have front fog lights? ...are HID kits actually legal on the road? i read somewhere that they may not be legal because the angle can't be adjusted. is this true or tosh? thankyou :D

Right ive just bought the kit off of a trader on here, and im ready to fit over weekend. is there an idiots guide how to?

Have a great day/night matey :) :duffer:

Hi All. Just got back in after finally getting conzult to work and i thought i would be best to take some vids and pictures. the software still freezes after about 20secs of using it but i thinking there is a problem with the ecu. everytime i connect with the software i get different ecu number. also the vehicle thinks it a manual?? here are the vids and pics, see what you make of them. also i get different fault codes all the time and the data is always jumping. Pictures Videos I think i might need a new ECU lol

Just having a goosey gander round flea bay, and saw these, what are the twin end bits supposed to attach to? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-TURBO-DECAT-DE-CAT-DOWNPIPE-EXHAUST_W0QQitemZ220448043593QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3353ba3249&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I picked my Z up from Z-world this morning following a cam belt change; new a/c condenser & re-gas; oil & filter change; new horn; new oil pressure sender unit and a quick ConZult...... .......Well all I can say is that Jeff & co have the magic touch on Zs - the car seemed smoother and quicker during the 100+ mile drive home!! Thanks buddy - and for the lift from the station; not to mention squeezing my car in before my hols AND finishing it early!! Richard:)

well, i had a sheet of ally lying around so i thought i would make up a slam pannel. thanks to Wendy for the loan of his carbon pannels, i was able to make up a card board template... then draw the shape and cut it out, Topless gave me an idea about covering the top of the rad so, i left the center for such purpose... bending the ally was the trickyest as i dont have a line bender but, with a few carefully chosen lumps of wood and a handfull of G clamps, i managed it... just a little bit of filing and making good and its ready for fitting...

hi matey, Sorry cannot make it tonight, somethings come up. Alan. (I do not have joe mobile number, if someone does can they either lrt me have it or text him on my behalf, saying the above. Many thanks people.)

As ive been trying to get my diag software to work i removed the ecu to reconnect plug and check pins. but while removing i noticed that the ecu looks like its been messed with. i took some pics to show you. it also hasnt got a diag switch on the side looks like its missing. the screws on the ecu to hold the cover on have been moved aswell. didnt open it up tho. do you think it could be faulty. had on going misfire issues and when i connect the diag software the data is very jumpy like its getting an intermittent signal.

Just had a fuel pressure test done and its reading 35psi on idle and 50psi when accelerated, I know it should be 43 psi on idle. Before it goes on the RR, would it be a good idea to upgrade the fuel pump? Would I need to upgrade the fuel regulator to an adjustable one?

:hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper: body shop did a nice job too. They fitted the boomerang spoiler back on, painted the tailgate and front matt black mostache body colour, fitted the 99 replicas and mopped the car over. They also put a new rear perspex strip on as they other one broke putting it back on very nice fellows:) very pleased now just need some squeels :):) will get some better piccy pics up when I get 5 mins

Just got fault code 20 from the ECU? any ideas what that is?

Hi got a DIY cable and different software. can connect when ign on and see the data e.g. tps,battery voltage and fault codes etc etc but when i start the vehiclen they all freeze?? this happens on all the software? Any advise why this happens?

Yet another thing to sort out... Anyone recognise these? Excellent pics for a phone eh?

hi everyone, is it possible to remove the orange tint on the orange side repeaters to give a clear indicator look???? dan

Ok I've established it's not the coil pack or the plug, as i've swapped them both. Any idea what is causing this. It started out intermittent but it's now not firing at all. Looking from the front it's the middle cylinder, right bank

Can anyone help me out with stripped interior pics of a 2+2 if you have gutted the car and still have front seats in that would be still be helpful. I need some of around the front where the dash sits on the edges. behind the where the front seats sit of the floor. the rear around top of the shocks and on top of the arches with no trims fitted. and a pic of the rear where the rear seats would be but with them removed. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I've seen some EGR pipework to plenum blanking plates online somewhere but I can't seem to find them now I want to buy some. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I cut and solderedthe stubs of my old pipes but I'm not convinced I've done an airtight job. As an aside, I've sealed up some leaks in my intercooler pipework (FMIC), there is now a distinct sound like an asthmatic inhaling deeply immediately after turning the ignition off, it comes from the centre of the plenum area (i.e. the cylinder intakes). I'm surprised to hear this from this location, bit suspicious there may be a leak at the plenum mating surface. Anyone noticed a sim…

Hi all, what could cause rough running/misfire up till 2500rpms? engine idles and revs with a misfire untill 2500rpm then after that is nice and smooth? does any controller turn off after 2500rpm? Regards Andy

Hi, Does anyone know where I could get hold of a brochure or Zed for an NA? I assume it would need to originate from the US or Australia, but any advice welcome. Thanks.
