Thought it would be a good idea to create a wheel&tyre setup thread for peeps to post up their wheel size and tyre size front&rear and include offset (if you know it). This comes in very handy when searching for which tyre size to fit to which size wheel and offset etc. Also helps with the purchase of new wheels so you have an idea of what it might look like. Please feel free to add pics :D If your new at this and have no idea what im talking bout then heres something to help you lol, tyre size can be found on the wall of the tyre in this format: 245/35/18x8.5------- 245 is width 35 is the profile which is the percentage of the width 18x8.5 is the wh…

Hi All, I have searched, and couldn't find the info, so..... Does anyone know how much the engine and gearbox weighs on an NA Manual? I will be ready to lift the lump out this afternoon, but not sure if I have the lifting capacity to lift both out together. If need be, I will drop the gearbox to the floor first, but would be handy to know what the weights are before I decide. Individual weights would be a bonus, but total weight is cool too. Cheers for any help in advance, Derek.

hi.. my fan coupling needs replacing and i have been offered one from a 93 tt.......as my car is an na is there any difference in between the tt and an na? thanks. steve.

Yesterday, M27 eastbound at about 12ish going past junction 9?

Was a smart Red 300, not sure if it was a TT or not parked about 40m from our campsite. It had some very nice 5 spoke alloys which I was contemplating thieving :smw: Was gonna come and say hello but the owner (I presume) was asleep in it the once and didn't see anyone else around it.

Fancy a quicker reacting accelerator pedal... yes ? easy to modify the angle return spring assembly to give you this, check out the pictures below. Photo A Shows the pedal assembly at rest Photo 1 Shows the pedal edge on, you can see the gap between the pedal top and the operating arm. Photo 2 Shows the pedal gap now closed This gap is set by the a small spring assembly behind the pedal itself, assumedly this was Nissan's way of keeping the pedal angle set through it travel as you press it down, however it really does not seem to be that effective but what it does do is give a dead feel at the top of the movement, this can b…

Some of you may know I bought the red UK TT in my sig with a seized turbo. After carrying out the latex glove test on the pipe it turned out to be the drivers side turbo which was not working, not the passenger side like the previous owner had been told. Yesterday afternoon I started stripping down my engine ready to replace the drivers side turbo, but upon removal of the large hose from the turbo to intercooler, I found this big split going half way round the hose (turbo end of the hose): The car ran fine before (no spluttering etc) just that the boost needle didnt go past 0 and there was no boost. Could this split be enough to …

Are there any copies of this kit about??

And mainly to pimp the few remaining MDF builds I have left for sale here http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=125860 :)

Who's done less and who's done more - thats what i wanna know :D Mine is primarily used on Sunday's however if its a nice day i will take it out after a hard days work and get some girlies looking my way - i say girls i mean men who don't wanna look but they can't help themselves having a peek when they think you won't not…

Seen a black zed, came off the round about at glasgow airport and was heading in the direction of linwood cinema and car showrooms etc?

how smooth should a zed idle? i ahve beem trying to iron out all the bugs from my zed. im not sure if i still have a problem or not. i stilll feel it could be better. it deffinatly does not misfire but still has a slightly lumpy idle which infact feels worse when touching the body of the car than touching the engine. i have replaced all the connectors checked the temp sensor resistance replaced the pcv valves (they were new anyway) cleaned up the cas today and set timing the 15 btdc- was about 11 cleaned out throttles replaced all vac hoses checked coil packs and the springs that go to the plugs cleaned out idle valves etc deleated carbon c…
