Smoothed the rear bumper completely? By that i mean smoothed all the rockguard and also filled in the swage line. Am going to be taking my front off and respraying it and also fitting some nice plain skirts and door fillers. Also i was going to smooth the rear bumper and was wondering if it is a good idea to fill the swage line also and leave it completely smooth. Anyone done it or got a pic of one done this way? Taa, Isaac :cool:

Anyway, whoever it was, I found a pic.

:hyper:Zed passed MOT today flew straight through no faults and examiner said it was in great condition. Changed the number plates last night to the road legal plates and connected up the fog light checked all worked and that was it. For a 17 year old car it is the best and most reliable car I have ever own and I have owned a hell of a lot of cars:D

Hi Guys, I fitted an Autobahn88 FMIC a year or so ago and found some of the joints leaked, fixed all the problem joints I could find at the time. Tightening as much as the clamps will allow doesn't seem to improve things, I'm a bit concerned I might have put the pipes out of shape. I checked over the pipework with soapy water today and found some further considerable leaks - hardly surprising I'm not holding a lot of boost...1.03 bar maximum at WOT Anyway, the problem is getting the darned hoses to seal on the pipework, anyone got any brainwaves?? How about a little instant gasket or flange sealant before assembly - or am I being thick?? Perhaps some better clamps mi…

I bought a new battery on the 16th July and it died on the 19th Aug, I tried to jump start it but nothing, took it back to the supplier and they tested it with 3 different types of meters and got absolutely no reading whatsoever? They have kindly replaced it and I have checked all fuses in the three boxes on the car and they all appear to be okay? I have fitted the battery to the car and it started first time all working as should, however I have tested it on idle and the reading is 12.3v (Electrics thread say's should be between 14-14.5v)? I have switched on blower, lights, fogs, rear window demister and fogs, this results in the meter reading 11.9v (again…

Hi mate, another wheel question:rolleyes: I found these on ebay, would they fit?? They do seem to sell a few different sizes http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wheel-rim-half-shell-1-25-18-RH-Speedline-pol-w-clearc_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem518bcc69efQQitemZ350237780463QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Dark blue, kitted zed, almost as dirty as mine:D - (actually, that wouldn't be possible). 11'ish, stuck in the jam going into Gosport, I was on my way out towards M-27.

Is it the same thing? Is it trading?? I wouldnt have thought so personally.

Hi, sorry regi users aint permitted to sell on these forums

has anyone used a greddy e0-1 boost controller with the e-manage on a 300zx.i`m currently building a car and want it to peforme really well so just chucking some ideas about:)and woundered what routes others had taken

HI Guy`s, I`m about to put these wheels from my soft top on e-bay, they are 16" BBS alloys and have nissan printed on them.They are wrapped in fairly good falken 452 Does anyone know if these wheel`s will fit other vehicles, so i can advertise them for other brands of car? If anyone is interested on the club then make me an offer, but personally i think they look too small on a Zed. Thanks Daz.

What is it with the roads of Sussex?, for some reason whenever im out driving near my house, zeds seems to be driven quite hard. A couple of weeks back, there was a Black M reg Uk TT, sliding around, now tonight A White jap M Reg whilst driving in front of me, must have driven over some oil, as he was sliding around a roundabout, i must have hit the same oil also, as it made mine slide too. Very tidy car, but the driver looked as if he had been working hard.............................. Dont know what type of oil it was, but made both cars accelerate................. Good on you mate.....:nana2:

Just wondering if the door cards and centre console from a SWB will fit into a LWB?

This may cause some debate as it all comes down to personal taste, and FunkySi's opinion lol But what do you guys consider to be the nicest looking aftermarket kit available for the Z? I'll start by suggesting this beaut.. (See Attached) Abflug Type-300zg (With the best looking alloys in the world :D Gran Revolfe's :D.. but that's another thread lol) CheerZ

Hi all, I will be dropping my new 300zx off at Zed World tomorrow for a few bits to be done. Anyone else going to be there......? Richard:)
