i know the stock UK rear wheels are wider than the stock import rear wheels, but wheels confuse me so i was wondering..... what are the benefits of wider wheels? what are the down sides to wider wheels? is anything else different (ie in the wheel mounting) can i fit UK rears straight onto my import? will they stick out further or rub on the inside? can i fit import rears straight on to my uk car if i needed to? (ie keep just one size spare wheel)

My mate told me if i buy a new exaust system for my car it comes with 02 sensores already is that true? does that mean i would need to replace my turbos aswell?

Hi all Does anyone know if the driftworks rears traction arms will fit a zed? They only seem to be advertised as R32, S14, GTR etc. Although other sites do a single version which fits all including a zed? Any ideas?

thought i would take a few pics of the zed with my new sony ericson c905 8.1mp phone like the results :nana2:

Well it's been a bit slow with having to get Zena ready to sell and that's slowed down progress on the V8 so this weekend i've been busy blitzing the gearbox i need to sell and the engine block. I spent yesterday on the driveway cleaning and painting the borg warner t5 I had spare with the project. Have to say it's come up a treat so hopefully it'll sell pretty quickly and i'll get some money back for the tremek box i bought from keith 5700 the other week. BEFORE: AFTER: Then moved onto the engine block today which was covered in acid, oil, crap and all sorts of deposits. Add to that 30 quids worth of white spirit, wire brushe…

cleaned with mer for the first time, and well please with result's.

Hi All Just a word of warning. I bought some rear tension rods and camber arms from ebay and my passenger rear traction rod has sheered! Buy with caution. :nono: Cheers

Hey all Well i washd both the cars yesterday , and managed to get a couple of mins out of my failing camera batteries:rofl: , So thought i'd attempt a few quick pic's Firstly here's one of the Z a while ago ....and the others are from today (the main Z pic) ,does also highlight one of the bodywork issues i have to tackle! Sorting the shed out , hence the cat and box:cool:

Just some quick pics of my standard Z after a wash. Would like to big up Sussex Stu for your help today! Thanks Again Regards Andy

You flashed me sorry i couldnt stop and chat, your car looked nice though.;)

Having spent the last 6 months doing my own 60k service on the car (twice - don't ask) I have finally been able to wheel the car out of the garage. After giving it a clean I thought I'd take a few pictures as it came up quite well... It still needs a good polish and wax, but in the sun it looks ok to me. What do you think? Gareth

i anyone no off a good site where i can get a good body kit. dont want to be paying crazy prices though.

Hi all just looking around my engine bay convinced ive got an air leak. And found that pipe with nothing connected to it? comes off the pass side of the engine. should there be a pipe on there? where does it go? and what is this for and what problems will it cause my vehicle? Regards Andy p.s. its near numbers 24 and 17 in the engine pic

Just watched my Z drive off sold it today it looked stunning in the sun i will have another one.Will have some spares for sale soon will have to sort the garage out and have a look what i have got but not today will pop onto the site now and again but may i take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the people that have helped me during the course of owning my Z so once again THANKYOU.

Where can i purchase these from, Trying to avoid buying from usa as the postage costs more than x10 the amount of the gaskets, ebay has them for $3 with a postage cost if $29.99..... no thanks. Im also trying to find an oil restrictor for the turbos but im not sure of the fitment i know the restriction size is .035, but i dont know wheather its -3 or -4 because i dont know my oil line size, how do i fnd out? :confused: ah its so frustrating trying to find such a simple part,,, im going to just buy the stock turbo gaskets and hole punch the holes further in :D:D:D

I have a 1990 2+2 na,what i want to know is what mods to do to it. I only want to fit modification's that enhance the running and reliability of the zed. Not interested in more speed (that is ok as it is).So far i have added a mongoose quad exit exhaust (cat back) and a blitz air filter, so please add your idea's.

on my Z it seems the suspention control botton is not responding, the car is very rigid, cannot make it soft like on touring, is there a fuse that control the electronic suspentions or is it the sensors are going bad, pls i need help in that if anyone knows

Hello Guys! Bought a lovely clean 92 300zx, have always wanted one and this one kinda fell into my lap, i knew the turbo's were gone, but now i have taken it apart i have found a fair bit more, the bigest thing is a hole in piston number 6, Question is why just one piston?

Saw a very very tidy G reg 2+2 TT going through Hartley Whitney at about 1900 hours this evening. May I complement you on a very tidy zed you have there!

Does anyone have a pic of a drivers side Greddy TD05 18G fitted? With or without modification. Thanks Steve

..a zed specialist who can supply and fit a TT engine? Location isn't a big issue but the further north the better. Cheers

my car got keyed and because my bonuses are protected i claimed for a respray cause of the damege. The assesor came out and viewed the damage and says cause the car is in such bad contidion that i should cover alot of the cost of respraying it. I accept the body work wasnt perfect due to some minor peelin of laquer and a not so good paint job done on it a few years ago before i got it. But the car is 18 years old and is never gonna be perfect. what am i to do as i cant afford a ful respray.:headvswal

Replacing my rear suspension tomorrow and today have stripped out all the rear interior panels. When i fit the new suspension units [non oe] do i just leave the motors hanging disconnected?? Dave
