I know we have a few bikers on here..... In a couple of months my daily commute will become a 90 mile round trip each day (of which will be about 90% motorway). No way Im using the Z for that so was considering getting myself a diesel but I'm also moving house in a couple of weeks and the new place only really has space for 2 cars (which will be taken up by the Z and the Wifes car), so I'm in a bit of dilemma.... used to be really into bikes when I was in my teens (just 50's and 125's on a CBT though), and it would solve the space issue. Looking into Direct access courses atm. Good Idea / Bad Idea ? What bikes would people recommend, what sort…

Around 8 ish this morning on a roundabout near Morrisons :) From what i can remember (i was half asleep) it looked a pretty standard import LWB TT to me :)

Can someone please tell me if these are the correct lower pipes for a twin turbo -basically my car came with a load of spares from a second (n/a) 300zx, and these were in the boot. The issue I have, is that the left hand one: will fit perfectly and the pcv pipe behind the timing cover fits onto the fitting half way down. But the second pipe: seems like its in all the wrong angles, and if it did fit then the two pipe fittings would be on the underside :confused: Do I need a different pipe or am I doing something wrong?? :x:

:mad: Well.........the story so far. As some are aware i live in Germany. Having to have my car looked at, i decided to travel across Europe to Zedworld this week. So i sat out on my merry travels to good old blighty, on Sunday/Monday morning. I traveled through Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. No problems:hyper: I get to Tamworth where i live, and spend the day with my mum. It was decided that Tuesday i would go and see the appartment i had just bought down in a place called St Neots (by Bedford/Cambridge). All was good until there i was, driving along coming back with targas off, wind in my hair.............................................. and a fooking F…

This weekend I want to drain out my brake fluid, flush it through and then bleed it back up with a good quality fluid... is it worth attempting it myself? If so can you guys give me some info on things like where to drain it from etc...

My memory aint what it used to be :) Does the roof liner have to be completely removed or can it be dropped enough to get to the nuts? Cheers

Been thinking that I need to change the diff in the car now as the R230 feels a bit long geared for the V8, just been looking at the numbers. With 9000rpm limit, in gear speeds are: 56 / 93 / 137 / 179 / 234!!!! Obviously the 5th one is theoretical. Going for the 4.1 gives 50 / 84 / 123 / 161 / 214 Hoping I can maybe find a 4.4, any ideas?

Hi guys :D Can anyone tell me what parts I'll require to fit a pair of turbos? Gaskets etc.... ie; which ones and how many? Thank you :bow: Dave

I am looking to purchase an uprated engine oil cooler, and need to know the correct fitment before i buy one. It's for a TT manual jap modded zed. Thanks people, Al.

Any one from here??

A bargain project for someone. £2K price drop :eek: There sure are some bargains appearing now, not just zed's. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250451471671 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250444456627 ...

Ordered some bits of Ant on monday, he posted tuesday, and i got today. Same service i give. As it should be done, fair price, no hassle, no chasing. Parts are just what i needed and as discribed. Cheers Fella. Stu

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to replace the oil return pipes from the turbos? I bought these pipes a long time ago and attempted to fit one a while back but abandoned the idea after removing the clips and realising that I could not get the hose off. Is there any easy way? Cheers.
