Hi guys, Just after abit of help really on the best place to by the above clamps cheaply...I want to get rid of all the crappy jubilee type clamps on the main hoses under my bonnet. I'd like the all stainless W4 versions but they are mega bucks...so i guess the half and half W2 versions would do just as good. I guess they dont have to be mikalor, they could be any make as long as they are good quality and stainless.... Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? CheerZ in advance! Sean.

I'm having a hell of a job finding rear tyres. Anyone know anywhere that doesn't only sell Nexen and Toyos?. Or if not, are the Nexens any good?. Probably not being so cheap!. Cheers.

Could someone tell me the sizes of the standard brakes on the Z and how many Pot they are.. Front & rear. Also, what the difference is between the alluminium and Iron brakes, and why they changed them?.. Finally, I am gauging interest in an upgraded brake kit, so far the skyline idea takes me fancy, as it's genuine nissan and I don't think it will be as much as a hassle with ABS/Brake line fitment & standard fitment.. But I have seen people on here fitting Evo 7,8,9 e.t.c. I'm not wanting Super 8 pot braking power, just an upgrade from what I have, whilst keeping it either Nissan/brembo.. What prices would I be looking at & will an increase in th…

searched for hicas and seen that one of the few causes for a hicas light and heavy steering after a few minutes is when the steering sensor picks up that the steering wheel is not straight.... or an aftermarket one with the hicas connection. Well i have an aftermarket steering wheel (which i hate - looking for an original) and the steering is not straight. How hard is it to adjust the steering?

fight o2 sensor is not budging on idle... very (and i mean very) tiny amount when i rev. left one is fine. Is the one on the right meant to stay still on idle only? if not then how much to replace?

Hi all my Z makes a horrible noise at about 120-130mph when the window is down, its very loud, like the wind is getting stuck somewhere, i know it will be noisy with the window down at high speeds, but this was stupid, & it only started between them speeds, can you buy wind deflectors for the windows, could it be the seals around the T bar roof as they do look slighty worse for wear. thanks all.

car runs fine now.. however if i have been driving for a while it sounds like another fan has kicked in. The fan gets louder with higher revs. once cooled down (after being fof for a bit) it is fine again. IS this overheating or is it normal? Temp gauge reads med temp however i have been warned that these are naff (especially as my gauge might not go any higher) The other fan that is not attached spins at its own speed? (as in not with revs) anyway apart from conzult can i test if my thermostat is not doing its thing properly or if my temp is TOO high?

ok so was driving through town and whilst driving past essex county council i noticed a familier nice looking zed in the window. I like your wheels..... similar to mine and it is nice to see them from a distance. And i like the colour too.... Shame about the single exit exhaust but still sounds sweet. Might want to get that intercooler pipe set up correctly as it looks odd being the wrong way around!:mac1: Whoever you are..... Nice one!:tongue:

hi there im all new to the world of zeds! previously owned a gto and before that an rx7! brought my zed a couple of months ago from a freind of my bro he was selling due to emergrating abroad! im trying to figure out rougly what kind of power this thing has all i know is from reciepts it has stage 1 turbos jwt ecu, blitz filter, twin dv, straight through exhaust no cats, and she is running at 1.2 bar of boost! i dont know if she has upgraded injectors? but a little help would be great cheers daimen

Seen an old boy in a stock red un last saturday at the lights on the kingsway, bristol. Gave you a little wave as you drove passed me but you just blanked me! was it you?

the front and rear rubber on my targa centre panel needs replaced got in touch with z centre but the rubber only comes with the centre panel(it locates targa panels into roof) My question is how do you get this centre panel out it is located with screws but there is no room to get these screws out, has anybody ever taken one out?

My gearstick surround bracket rubber had broken at both ends allowing the gearstick to be pushed down causing it quite hard to select gears, I ordered a new one via zedworld and fitted it last night. the car feels totally different like its had a new gearbox or something, well chuffed.

I came across this tonight. Its the history of the Z Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=filjihe00Go Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U4tfDL6ZXM&feature=related Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL_BFqiJujI&feature=related Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piCuoqHfYEQ&feature=related Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGA9xTU8GQU&feature=related The Z32 is reviewed in Part 5 above. I did a search to see if the links were posted already, but I couldn't. If its a repost, apologies.

Thinking of ordering a set of these for my car, is it true they drop the car 10mm at the front and 5mm at the rear? Can you please post a pic of you car if you have these fitted? Thanks, Dan

a few months ago one of the tension rods i purchased from ebay snapped as i went over a speed bump, luckily i was going slow and i was only a few minutes from my house. they had been on the car for about 6 month before it snapped. didnt realise until today how poor they actually were. today i got my delivery of new powertrix ones and as you will see from the pics they are alot bigger in diameter plus the overall quality is much better, thought i should post this incase anyone else has these just as a warning to them, also i know i shouldnt have went for the cheap option in the first place but hey you learn from your mistakes at least it didnt prove to costly after it…

I should be in California right now.....then onward to Branson Z fest in Missouri. Cancelled due to personal problems, but still wished I'd gone. Now looking at Z1 Nationals Day in Atlanta. A show I've wanted to go to for a long time now. I dunno, but have a wild idea. Will fly out to Atlanta and take a coach down to Savannah for a few days (one of my favourite places on the east coast), then get the coach back before flying from Atlanta to Memphis to meet up with 3ZC Administrator TnKrsToyco (Steve Fowler) who I know pretty well (had a blast at the MidwestZfest in Oklahoma last year!) before making the 2 day trip by road in Steve's vert to Carrollton (GA) to Z1…

Ive got a set of Wilwood front calipers and bigger discs to go up front. while im sure this will meet all my needs for 'normal' driving, what about the rear? do i leave it standard, upgrade it to the same spec, or go for something inbetween?

ive done a search, believe they are the "pre-tensioners" do these need to be connected? how do they work? cant seem to see anything to connect them to & wondered if its ok to just cut em off. not all cars have them?

Have been aware of the smell of fumes with both the z32,s i have had whilst driving around with the t tops off,but never really bothered me. But tonight i had just cleaned the car and had a text of my daughter to pick her up from her mates,well car just washed and had the tops off cleaning them so instead of jumping into the galaxy sped off in the z. When i collected my daughter and drove the mile or so back she kept moaning about her eyes stinging and the smell! Is this usual? Is it the type of exhaust system i have, both cars had a mongoose system that only just protrudes from the rear bumper. Or could it be coming from under the bonnet?? A…

my engine has started to knock, i have tried changing the oil and so on, bt ive had it to my bro in law (senior technician at renault garage) and he thinks it could be bottom end, possibly shells (if im lucky lol), if i rev the engine you get the knok, hold the revs and it goes, also i get a slight tapping knock starting at 2500-3000 rpm, when we were checking the engine he removed the coilpack and it stopped knocking, put it back on and it started again, he says he is just taking away the pressure so as its not firing, only did this with one coil pack what are my options, do you think it could be just bottom end shells????, if so anyone got any linkson how to do, is…

OMG! NOOOOOOOO ok. started car up first time for a week. starts fine but noticed it was a little tappety. Drove 5 mins to work and by the time i parked up i could hear the tapping was even louder...... Really worried now so i have abandoned the car at work for now........ changed oil two weks ago and still has plenty of oil....... any ideas...... is it rebuild time? The tappet does not sound as fast as a piston cycle . sounds half the speed... is this a lifter or worse?
