Does anyone know a product that actually works in removing swirl marks in the likes of the rear center panel and rear lights, i.e plastic ? Cheers Maz :)

I bought this last year and have just got around to fitting it. My problem is i can't remember how to fit it :confused: Has anyone any pictures ? where does the black plate go ? I'm not even sure 100 % which way up it goes LOL :smash:

Got around to starting to sort out a few bits and pieces for bringing the Z up to scratch again, and instead of having one headlight blown, its actually both of them. Obviously my first thought was bulbs when it was one, as the nearside went first, but I checked the bulbs and the filament seems intact. My next thought was it must be the relay, so I swopped the dims relay for the other one in the fuse box which is the same, (cant remember what it was for), but that didnt make a difference. Now I'll try getting bulbs anyway but I think its too much of a coincidence that 2 bulbs would blow in such a short timescale together. I'm just wondering is there anything else it could…

Very nice black one with crystal sides, parked on somones driveway in front of there garage located on the A440! Not a clue what the name of your area is LOL!

See you today around 12ish heading towards the M4 Roundabout!

Hi guys, I need help, im really quote upset with this!!! Car has been off the road for quite a while as it needed a couple of parts. The parts changed were both turbos oil return pipes and the drivers side oil feed pipe. Also a new O2 sensor on the passenger side. Went to get the car today and all seemed fine, car driving okay etc. On the way home I spent about 2 hours stuck in stop start traffic. The car then started to seem like it was struggling... revs going up and down around200 - 300 revs and running like a pile of crap, had to keep a bit of gas on so it didn't cut out in the traffic jam. When accelarating or even being in neutral and reving up it strug…

...I do hope this doesn't belong to anyone on here! Spotted this on the Isle of Dogs yesterday...

Driving in the rain, turned a corner in second, put my foot down and whoosh! The car slid 90 degrees before I had to wrench it straight again! Scary to say the least and I think the car behind me was absolutely terrified. The car's a NA, I've been moaning about lack of power and the tyres have lots of tread. Is this normal? Does the car have any form of anti-skid/spin? My rear shocks are due to be changed shortly as they are finished; would they 'help' the car to spin/slide? The only reason I ask is that I have driven more powerful cars in the past of a similar configuration (RWD, Manual, over 230bhp) and never had it slide so easily, even in the rain. …

Hi Guys, Below is a picture of my key Fob. This for a 300ZX NA. So far, I know the following: A - Locks car. B - Unlocks car. Does anyone know what C & D do? Thanks.

Spotted a blue zed today at about 12.30 on Roe Lane. Private reg so i know your name is RON ;) I think i may of spotted you in the past, so own up :D Isaac :cool:

Well I've been searching around for a little bit now but I've not really found a great deal of difinitive information on upgrading of injectors. It would appear that 500-555cc injectors are perfectly adequete for most applications upto around the 500hp area so I guess this covers most of us! There are two types of injectors, the 'phase 1' which covers 90-94's and the 'phase 2' which covers 95-96's. I believe the phase 2s are of the style that most aftermarket ones are? Does this also cover the design used in skylines/supras etc.? Thankfully DeatschWerks does an adapter kit to use phase 2's. What have people done to upgrade their injectors? Any suggesti…

Ok this may have been asked before , apart from the flywheel is it ok to replace a manual engine using old gearbox with an automatic engine ? is there anything that needs to be checked or changed? and does the automatic engine have any performance differences ? Thanks in advance for any help !

Went to switch the car on and take it for a quick spin, went to put the windscreen demisters on and nothing...... You could hear the clicking of the motors from behind the dash as you normally would do and the engine revs move up a bit like they normally do but the blowers wernt switching on......the lights on the dash do come on to say they are on but nothing.....NO BLOWERS Any ideas? p.s. theres a naked picture of a hottie if your able to diagnose it lol

Does anyone stock these in the uk or would I have to get them from JWT themselves? Does the downpipe fit straight to the turbo? I need to get all the niggles sorted before it goes on the RR.

got my new brakes today and all i can say is :shock: they are huuuuuuuuuge

I was getting a horrible vibration from the engine plus lots of blue/black oil smelling smoke from the o/s exhaust. I relocated and changed the PTU and replaced the original exhaust with a mongoose catback. I also replaced the throttle, IC and rad hoses for silicon ones and finally, flushed the coolant,changed oil and filter. The engine now no longer vibrates like it did (result!) however, I'm still getting smoke from the exhaust. Thing is, it's now coming out of the n/s and the o/s is clean :confused: All the guages are reading correctly and as expected, however my AFR gauge says that both banks are running lean. I was thinking that a turbo seal was packing up, but n…
