Can someone who has original 99 spec rear lights do me a favour. On each light are the black stripes, i need to know the thickness of the distance between the lines and the thickness of the lines. Ie from edge to line, then line to line, then line to top am i right in saying that the centre panel also has these lines???? Need to see a close up pic of an original 99 light, to determine the sizes, and get an idea re the colour of the usually black plastic on the inside is it chromed? Alot to ask, i know. Having looked at Funkisi's and Zx eyes rear lights, i know Si's are real, but issacs are no differnt, but he made them up. Your help is much…

Could anyone tell me where the main fuse is for the ignition due a switch going faulty and taking out this fuse. I have now no ignition lights and no acc working. Can anybody help!:cry:

After a 'spirited' drive to York and back yesterday, I have noticed that I have a small amount of oil sprayed on the side of the battery. I did notice a oily smell on the way home but it was only for a short period. There doesnt appear to be any smoke on start up, accelerating, decelerating or on idle (hot or cold). The PCV Valves were changed about eight months ago, although its probably only covered about 1000 - 1500 miles since. I have done a quick search on here and not come up with much other than PCV Valves. Could these of failed already?, or is it probably something more serious?. Any help is much appriciated.

What a beautie she is! 2 seater short wheel base and full transformer bodykit! :dance:

My 1992 UK 300ZX tt has just started to idle at about 1800rpm, it is as though the choke is out, its being doing it intermitantly for a few weeks now but these last couple of days it pretty much constant... Is it a sticky throttle cable or something else? What do I need to do to sort it out? Thanks guys, Dan

Hi all, just wondering if there's anything i could use to clean up the metal parts of my engine, eg throotle bodies ect. cheers.

Hi all a few weeks ago i saw on here a thread relating to emissions that is how to reduce the by the removal of a small pipe help any one no what one it is car failed mot on emissions,split in tyre,headlamp aim,and steering arm, not bad i thinks.

The story continues ... I will put down a list of what we have tried and hope that someone can suggest something new! Battery is flat but when we try something new and try and turn it over we jump it off another car. New series 2 PTU CAS checked and sparking. ECU checked and showing code 55 Alarm checked and its not the imobiliser (consulted alarm technician) Fuel Pump working Cambelt fine and dandy. We have traced a fair bit of the electics and the readings are the same as the 300 parked next door!. Hopefully it will be something slight that we have overlooked but we really are starting to pull our hair out and for those…

Hello mate was in the white one!

Im looking to fit a new boost gauge sometime in the near future, i was just wondering where everybodys put theirs? Pics would be great:D

Please can someone tell me how to upload these pics please. I have them ready on my hard drive?

Got my zed a 330mm K-Sport 8 pot break kit but unfortunately (this is really embarracing) my 17" are not going to like the new kit. So, I need some new 18"s and need help finding the right alloys. ATM, i've got these; I really like them but I don't have a choise. I'd like same sort of deep dish rears and some matching fronts. Any suggestions...

who would like to see some pics of my make beleave 300zx?:rolleyes:

Finally lent my mates boost leak detecter from him which he made for his Leon. Found one leak from the idle valve, the clamp was loose. Tried again and found another at the drivers side rear but its so bad that it loses pressure before i get to find it. So just waiting for my mate to turn up to help!!! hope i dont find anymore well p***ed off now lol. i think this might solve most of my issues what you think boys and girls. What problems can boost leaks give you? Regards Andy
