Hello, was wondering if anyone has flocked their dash, and if so what do you think it looks like? Cheers. {no affiliation, just somewhere which does it} http://www.suffolkflockingservices.co.uk/

Does anyone have a idea the weight of a auto gear box???

think ive done something silly, car is NA auto, ive thrown out the clocks on my car, as they lookt like this.... ive gone to replace them with the clocks from my other car (manaul TT) the connections seem different at the back?? there are 3 spaces on the back of the TT clocks, which 3 blocks click into. gone to connect them up, but on the NA auto dash loom there only appears to be 1 block to conenct up?? :confused: are the clusters all the same?

seen a nice white zed on saturday going into the Tesco carpark near redford in Edinburgh at around 17:00, it is the first zed i have seen on the road since i got mine so was quite happy to see you!!

Im having some issues with my current 'new' insurer regarding security on the car. I have a Cat2 immobiliser fitted and have scanned and emailed them a copy of the VSIB Installation certificate. BUT , they are also wanting confirmation of any alarm system that may be fitted. As far as I know the aftermarket system I have is Cat2 immobiliser only - does anyone know if there will be a factory fitted alarm installed ? The cars a 1994 Series III - Jspec N\A. If I cant prove further security they are wanting to terminate my policy :cry:

Morning, The other week while putting the fixings back on my headlight panel, I noticed my passenger side intake pipe full of water (my fault as I hadn't bothered putting the air filter, MAF and T connector back on and leaving the headlight panel rubbers off). I got underneath the car and loosened the intercooler pipe off letting the water out and I intend on removing my front bumper so I can completly remove the intercooler hoses. The engine hasn't been turned over as thankfully the battery went flat so I removed it for charging. Am I likely to have done any damage? Vijay

just washed and polished my car, so thought i would put some pics up

Hello everyone, Yesterday I took my Z on the road after quite some time. Enjoyed every minute of it until a problem occurred. Mine is an auto and every time I put my foot down hard and the Z blasted off, when I released the acceleration pedal completely, the car still accelerated up for a second or so..This happened a few times. So eased my way back home. It only did this when booted hard and was fine on normal driving.. Any idea what this might be???

Heya, When i bought the car the previous owner told me that the timing belt had been replaced last April at 65k milage. I had a quick look through the receipts on purchase and everything seemed fine. Just had another look whilst looking for my MOT documents and the receipt actually says: 'Adjusted Timing', so i think i must of misread it skim reading when i bought it :-S The car is now on 72k and i have no idea when or if the timing belt has been replaced other than the word of the seller (which doesnt seem to match receipts). ive just had it serviced and new brakes and stuff so cant really afford a timing belt service for a few months, is i…

many of you guys may or may not remember me.. my z suffered epic head gasket failure last year and since then i just havent had the heart to get rid of her.. well although at the moment i cannot afford to put her back on the road.. as a replacement engine is just a no go at the moment finance wise! however would just let ya all know i have started work on the bodywork over the past 2 weeks! .. serious amount of elbow greese involved in sanding her down! .. want to get everything spot on then resprayed.. and then hopefully by this time next year should have afforded (recession dependant) an engine transplant/rebuild.. although still considering dropping the engi…

Hi guy's Just to let you all know I have just started useing a new paint system from the States. It means I can now apply a full chrome finish to any surface, even plastic. So I was thinking what I could use it on first. After seeing some of the attempt on chroming the front lights I thought I would have a go. As it happened I had a spare pair of lights, so this is how it went. After opening up the lights and stripping out the insert. A light rub over and then the base coat was layed on. Then the chrome efect A couple of layers of lacker and a polish and... Its a little hard to see the reflection through the glass but I think you ca…

.....is the shared appreciation of a truly great car ! I know that sounds like stating the bleeding obvious but what I mean is that the appreciation is generally across the spectrum of models and the owners personal preferences in terms of mods/originality. Can you imagine how awful it would be to be a part of a club like.....oh lets say the Aston DB5 club where everyone was obsessed with originality or something like that (Not that I'll ever be a part of that club :) ) I think its fair to say that we all own great cars !!! I'm not entirely sure I've put that too well but I'm sure you know what I mean..... Mark

Had a little tussle with one of these on the way home from work today and........................ left it behind baby!!!! He pulled along side me, with the window down and muttered..... "that is f***ing fast". I replied..... "I know" :cool: Al. I love my 300!!

Hi people, OK.... My 300 is running good, but...I am a little concerned about my oil temperature. What is the oil temperature at idle, while driving, and under load for a standard and modded 300ZX? Also, does the grade of oil make any difference to the running temperature? Cheers all, Al.

I have blasted my r33 brembos to repaint and rebuild but cannot decide what colour to paint them... I always had the intention of just going black with a white brembo stencil to keep it simple, however, last night i stumbled across a tin of high temp alluminium paint...Ii think it will be a kind of metallicy version of this... I kinda like it though i'm not sure if it will work on a red car? Any opinions on this?... I deffo dont want red calipers before any1 suggests it!

had low compression to begin with, was checked by chris at z tech, anyway, on my way to work this morning (4:45am!) and could hear a tapping noise from the engine:eek:, was nearly at work by then so took the chance to make the rest of the journey taking it very slow obviously. within a couple of mins the power rapidly got worse and the tapping got very loud!!!then the engine cut out on the A40 had to jump out and push the thing while still in motion (got to get in the gym i was f***ed) luckily a fella in a kitted up mx5 with a turbo who also has an rx7 (he knows about breaking down lol) stopped and helped me push it to safety. looks like i need a rebuild sooner than…

do they fold in using a motor and if so how.

Hi guys im still after a auto gear box for a n/a,seen one on ebay and just wondred if anyone has herd or delt with intapart before????

Noticed today that my turbos are slow to react. I´m not in safety mode and the turbos appear to be giving full boost, or maybe a little under perfect but not quite safety boost. Is this the sign of a vacuum leak ? Cheers Maz

Seen a green zx in westbury and trowbridge (wilts) looks like a N/A and is auto, also if you read this, you drive like a dick, nearly ploughed into me on the a36, and generally looks like you drive like a penis. But i spotted you anyway if your a forum user!
