Did you get your EVO calipers fitted with the 350 discs (assume they were 325mm).

Where can i purchase the stripes that are applied to the section above the stonechip ? if you know what i mean. dont say main stealer!!!

As this works using an electrical signal would you get a speed reading with a manual car being towed with ignition off? Want to check before I pull things apart.

I know the 'which tyre' thread has been done time and time again. But ive decided on the bridgestone so2 for my Z. It has them on now and i find they are amazing. But it needs new ones and cant seem to find anywhere that sells them in 235/40/18 for the front, think theres a 245 or a 225 but not the 235. So does anyone know where i can get a 235 or which would be the best alternative size? thanks danny

ok got my MOT due, main headlight (drivers side) has blown so i know i will fail on that. apart from that where is a good place to take it? Is the local Kwik fit ok for MOT? is there anything i need to look out for? i have boosts solenoids unplugged with no boost controller so worrying if a little air leak sound will cause it to fail or effect the emissions. Also regarding my car i was told i have to make sure they do not carry out something regarding emissions. If they do this "thing" i was told to avoid i will end up paying the new tax rates. can someone clear up what i should be looking for in terms of my own car (something normal cars might …

trying to get a hold on jeff but the phone number on the website turns out to be a fax number (getting the fax sound). does anybody know the number.

Hey guys Is anyone one here good with car electrics - specifically immobilisers and alarms? I've got all the hardware in place already but as it turns out they were wired up in a bit of a bodge manner so on getting my rebuild and a new loom they were left unconnected (i.e. wires cut out with enough length to rewire properly). Is there anyone that might be able to help me get these wired back in properly? I'm a bit nervous as having spent all that cash on the engine the car is now sitting there with just the central locking protecting it!! Would appreciate any help!! Obviously I'm looking to get this done sooner rather than later.... Thanks all Vig

As the car is a japanease import and very old there are hardly any wires so i can connect my stereo up, is there a connecter i can buy that connects to the existing zed connections and then goes to my stereo, and can i get it from a halfords shop or somewhere like that??

I have got some 5 stud wheels i want to put on my zed, i know they will fit size wise but.............the hubs on my zed are different to the ones on my last car ie: the bolts dont screw to the hub there are giant nuts which screw to the hub and hold the wheels on, im sure you all know what i mean.....................question is, is there a way of fitting my wheels, hopefully that doesnt cost a bomb!

hi peeps, small question. i know when pcv valves are knackerd it can cause oil leaks from hoses and dipstick pop out ect but when the pcv valves jam closed, is it possible for the dipstick to pop out followed by engine oil pi*sing out of the dipstick hole? thanks davie

Well, as my sig currently says, I can't seem to make my mind up :D I've booked Eliza in for an MOT this coming Friday at our local MOT only station. I wonder how I'll end up going to work later that morning, 'Happy', 'Moderately Happy' or just 'Downright Depressed!' ;) I really don't want to let her go, but this really is the last chance :cry: Anyway, chin-up :D as I know she'll fail, it just depends how badly ;)

Anyone know this Zed? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250448684914

As above!! My Z failed its MOT last month on having excessively coroded rear brake pipes. However I dropped it off to Jeff last week and he has now fixed it - I collected the car yesterday:hyper: Jeff also replaced the leaking master cylinder, fixed the intermittant driver's window fault and ran a Conzult test tweaking any bits as necessary. Plus he had the car MOTd for me too. Thanks Jeff - you're a star!!! And thanks to Linda as well for the "shuttle service" to/from the station:bow: I had a very good run home too :p Richard:cool:

Hi Guy`s, There was a zed for sale on E-bay this week, and the listing said that this car was being shown on channel 5`s FIFTH Gear in July sometime ??? Does anyone know if this is true?? If it is true i hope they say nice things about the zed`s :)

Hi all I’ve been looking into this for a few weeks now and just thought I would ask on here first for your thoughts/suggestions. 1. How much would I expect to pay for an EFI loom? 2. Any companies in the UK making replacement looms for the 300zx? 3. How hard would it be to make my own? All answers much appreciated Thanks

Video of the engine running now, first minute is just it running. Then about about 11 seconds from the end there is a metallic noise from the crank pullet area then about 6 seconds from the area the download goes funny :rant: but you can hear for a few seconds. Anyone have any ideas as what it is? Car sounds great apart from that

Only after switching on my car and theres a small ratle coming from the very top of the engine i think it comes from the area of the valves. anyone can help trying to diagnose this and need to know if its drivable as im 50miles away from home. thanks in advance.

Hi just wondering has anyone converted theyre z to electric power steering pump. if so was what problems did you have if any . thanks. Lee.

I need a new rear bumper and like the look of this one what do you think:)http://www.skleptuning.pl/Rear_bumper_Nissan_300zx_22_seater-115.html

Hi all, I was checking the oil and water on the Zed last night and noticed this small unconnected hose. It's at the back of the engine to the outside of the autobox dipstick and looks like a vacuum hose (see pic).......any ideas where it should attach to? Thanks in advance - Andy

Lovely morning, just dropped the missus off at work so i think its time to wash both cars. Hope the weather holds out
