Got my MOT early next week and one problem that was noticed once before was that the steering column has a slight bit of play in it - maybe 5mm side to side. Last time I just tightened up the bolts on the brace under the column shroud but it keeps coming loose. I haven't had a look under there for ages and can't remember exactly how it bolts up but has anyone else had this problem? Is it possible to weld it or something so it doesn't keep moving?

going to resove the 5 cylinder issue i have this weekend (or at leat hope lol) ive done an engine swap into a new car, (the coilpacks & injectors themselves workt fine when engine was runnig in old car) im expecting the rest of the connections on the loom to be all green/corroded, as the temp sensor one was foul! so after cutting & cleaning the temp sensor resoved the over fueling issue, i can see the first couple of injectors, which are on the inside of the intake plenum things lol where are the others? hiding underneath at the back? is the balance bar hard to remove? any tips on cleaning the injector connections be great…

My spoiler looks all distorted it a 92 uk TT, are they supposed to be painted as it looks like its warped, also when i lift the boot it drips, any suggestions what spoiler to buy, as this one has mastic all round it also where i lift the boot it looks like there is something missing as there is a metal plate bang it the middle looks nasty.

Had Lambo rear lights and high level spoiler, was an N/A

Saw this morning, looked nice. :)

I went for a meet up with the guys i used to work with at Barclays last night and Tariq turned up. I didn't realise but he's now got a 300zx which he's spent some serious money on. He didn't realise i was on here but he's been on the forum before, come on mate step forward and take credit :D Had to go and have a quick look in the car park before he went home and i have to say he's done a corking job (now hoover out that engine bay and clean out the steam from your light! lol): Those seats were gorgeous, recovered but perforated centre sections really brought them up to date Love those lights, chromed and and clear covers! Custom bu…

I am almost finished picking bits off Keith 5700s ex v8 shell. So far I havent found a single square inch of rust. Evevything underneath is like new and Keith spent hours waxoyling everything. Its of no use to me and soon it needs to go. Sooo I was just wondering tonight if there would be any response when I put an advert up.??? I dont care what happens to it . i have several easy options to get rid. Just one quick phone call will bring my mate with his HI-AB truck and off it goes. No work required by me. I could load it on a trailer and weigh it in as clean(green) steel locally. Bit of effort but I will get fair cash price(prices are still low but on the inc…

Can anybody confirm if the 96-99 vq30 injectors are the same fitment as the 95 300zx.Im 99.9% sure they are but would like to make sure before i commit myself.

can anyone tell me why the oil pressure would jump all the time from 120 down to 0?

Another vid of the 500zx, bit of a compilation. Prob be the last one until I get to the dyno as it's still only locked to about 60% throttle and 7k rpm at the minute. Shame the video camera doesn't really capture the sound properly though, on the drive by, it sounds immense when you're actually there! Proper spine tingling!

Lights now working! thanx for all who replied to my prob & yes it was just a fuse! Now i can relax. . . for a while atleast. Oh nxt job, fit washer bottle as the car did't come with one lol.

Does anyone have any contact details for Nend??? Email or telephone would be good if possible

H reg Not sure on anyother details other than it had standard lights on the rear, A1 M about 4:00pm @ J59 heading north. :)

and get my car repaired, i moan and groan about everything i do on my car, but im gonna bite the bullet and strip it (starting this weekend), im not letting it go for buttons, ive put too much work into it to let it go for less than 3k (was willing to take £2500 for it), but *****cks im gonna repair, would prefer to crush it rather than let someone take it for buttons as for so called members talking behind the scenes about my car, it has been very faithfull and has only really let me down on the underside of the body and some wear and tear, it has all been fully sorted, the running prob ive had for so long has been the lack of opening it up on the open road and the …

My 300 just failed MOT today on a few points. Its a 92 Z32 TT Manual. Below is what it failed on most are easy to remedy: nearside registration plate bulb not working nearside front brake caliper has restricted free movement offside rear wheel steering ball joint has excessive play nearside rear wheel steering connection has excessive freeplay and brakes not tested due to caliper problem now the first 2 should be no problem as long as i can get the caliper to free off i think it is just binding slighty any advise on this? i saw it on the ramps for the rear wheels and the offside rear hicas link bush looks a bit worn so if anyones knows…

Does anyone know where I can find a link on how to machine the lower plenum please? Just thinking of doing this to fit the later style injectors. Thanks, Ant

hi guys I just had one of the Driftworks hicas eliminator kits fitted. but the car is pulling all over the shop and of course alignment is needed now iv been quoted a few prices for laser alignment assuming the hicas is still in place. Now being as it removed shouldnt the cost of alignment be cheaper? iv been quoted around 110 - 140 for this but also just 35 pounds if they are able to adjust it like regular cars. So with the hicas eliminator kit in place im assuming the cost is cheaper as less work is needed for adjustments? I dont know

Starting to get a slight surging, on starting from cold , not noticable untill i pull away then holding the throtal at 30mph, would the throtal bodies need a clean or could it be a leaking air line its a n/a

Anyone know which fuse covers the front fog lamps, I have obviously blown mine during a bulb change and now they both do not work. I trust its in the footwell box as well, that is why I am asking.

well have you's lol if it dont go for for the price i have in mind, im gonna remove the sump on my week off, and try and repair, failing that then i will strip it and keep the good parts incase i ever get another zed

I really like these rear lights but would they be legal here without a reflector as per oem lights ? Could this be got round with stick-on reflectors on the bumber for example ?
