Hi all, I was a little busy with my new Z again today...... .......I replaced the (slightly knackered) aerial with a fully operational one (thanks to AndyZ; only £20 on Fleabay). Plus the best modification yet - I fitted my new 99-spec rear lights. Again apologies for the low quality pics from my phone. But you get the idea........;) Oh, and I gave it a wash:p Richard:hyper:

brought some new wheels for my z. just wondering how much a set of refurbished standard uk tt alloys with as new tyres,only covered about 2k are worth ?:rolleyes:

here is a few pics

got some good pics for COTM and for my insurance :D.

My OEM rod bearings just broke down. Engine out,- once again. I guess there is a lot of knowledge on the forum what type of bearings that are the best. Someone out there with names on the best bearing experts ?

where do I get these from I'm gonna get the 95 spoiler put back on as everyone and his dog has a 99 so decided against it. Boot spayed out and matt black mostache body coloured out but need these as pic

As most of you probably know, the 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT used the headlamps from the Z32. Are there any other parts of the Z which have been used on non-Nissans?

I've been respraying my targas, so far I've given it 2 coats of primer and 4 of KH3. Not sure how many coats of laquer to give it though. I was thinking 3. Is this enough or should I go more? How many did they get at the factory?

Can't wait to get them fitted :dance: I've also got a full front and rear poly bush set, adjustable F & R droplinks, Z1 Hicas eliminator, powertrix adj rear camber set and Stainless braided brake lines to fit as well. Cost a bleedin' fortune, gonna be worth it tho' Big thanks to Dan the Man at DTA.

Well I've recently picked up these second hand Rota Drift GTR's in white. I love the style and always makes me think of the proper drifting machines! Not fitted them on the car yet as the car its going on currently has no engine (until hopefully nect week), so theres not much point putting them on there yet! Here they are just resting up against my current 300 (soon for sale!) Comments welcome! More pictures fitted when they're on there (or if I get impatient when theyre on this one!)

Hi Folks, Dose any one know if part number 5621043P02 is correct for stock rear shocks for my 32 TT Cheers

Hi guys (and girls if any) Just got a replacement gearbox for the 300 and i'm having a hell of a time trying to get the torque converter in. It may be just me but i am not happy with it when i put it on the gearbox. It feels like it doesn't go in far enough. I have around 25mm from the mounting studs to the face of the bellhousing but it just feels like its flopping a bit too much side to side. When its fitted to the box, should it be pretty solid or be abl to move side to side? I just don't think it has gone down far enough and locked into the "flats" on the end of the converter. Any help or input would help alot. Thanks in advance. Paul.

I have a buddy saying he's gonna do this, & has found a TT long block for me for a great price Is there a hp gain, I've heard it will make the na exhaust more throatier (if thats a word) but I'm just trying to find out if its a waste of time besides the obvious gaskets & head bolts what else is needed for the swap

Has any one used a company in Colchester called "Auto Trim" for their seats/interior http://www.autotrim.co.uk/index.html Ric

Hi Guys is there a picture of the engine bay showing a what's what, might be useful for me being new to the zed TT Cheers Rich

Hi Guys Is there any way to tell if i have a short shifter fitted? Cheers ric

Can any one tell me what is the largest possible screen that anyone has installed in the radio surround moulding? looks like 7" might be the max.. Rich

Had a guy round last night to re gas the system, he did the usual, emptied the R12 (600g)?? took out moisture, put in R24, after everything was sorted the guages were reading fine, but the output was not cold, 30deg. As the gauges were reading okay, he couldn't diagnose the problem with his big book!! Any one got any ideas? Rich

Ive cleaned throttle bodies Done boost/vac leak test with no leaks checked tps and cas changed the maf timing is ok new temp sensor and wiring loom. Could it be the ptu? When it is cold it holds back at 2500 revs and all of a sudden it will be ok and i will have a burst of speed, then i will go under 2500 revs and it will hold back again, the revs also drop when i go to pull away, after about 10 mins or so the car will run fine. What do you guys think?

turbo seals gone on the below link http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1126830.htm anybody know if this is a big job and a rough price to have a mechanic do it? can the sills be changed easy enough or do new turbo units need to be fitted?
