Hi everyone, As the title says really, cleaned the car after getting her back from the bodyshop. Came up ok I think but it does show off the 3-4 shades of red on her :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal Anyway now the summer is here there's no excuses for not getting her to how I want. More jobs to do this week so will add more pics as and when. Laterz, Rob :nana2::nana2::duffer::duffer::duffer::nana2::nana2:

As you know, I wrote off my Silver Z:( I have got salvage rights on it so I have access to a good engine and gearbox, and just under £2000 in insurance money, plus whatever else I can sell on the silver one. If you were in my posision would you sell the engine and gearbox to make a bit more money, or buy a Z with engine problems??? I have the tools to remove and fit engines and anything else that need doing

Been looking at some us forums and it seems there adement that tt slicktops were never made by nissan .Are tt slicktops not allowed to be imported to the states then.

Cheers lads - What a lovely memory of the last time I'll be posting on here - My post being deleted. You could have at least asked me to remove the link if thats what you didnt like. I've been on this web site since it very first started -check my details- so you could at least have been decent about it.

Guys, Just seen this on flebay, 100 quid, not mine, but mite be want someone wants. Item no 220376145243 Cheerz Chris:duffer:

Had a look into my brake problem over the weekend and it seems my pistons are jammed. Only checked the driver side front and three of the pistons/cylinders are not working. Couldn't even move them. I guess they are coroded from inside. :( So, rang up Kwik Fit this morning and they recon it'll be around £1500 to replace all the disks/calipers. But they come with a good warranty and a lifetime warranty for the pads. :( I don't think a caliper refurb kit will do any good :( any ideas or suggestions?

Suddently my zx started to smoke huge from the tail pipes. One day later started to smoke from under the bonet as well, just when i start the engine, for a bit. Where should i go to repair it? The car is highly modified. Thanks

Hello, I am very angry because today I have received Stillen Smic of Z1Motorsport... And it has 14 rows, no 18 rows (original Stillen..), poor quality... I attact the pic It is normal?

im trying to get the intercooler pipes out, i can manage one of the melal pipes, from the hotside of the intercooler, but the cold side pipes (to the plenum) i cant see how the hell they come out? (just to advise its the one the recirc valve is conected to, the metal one)

hi guys, the head gaskets let go on my zed :cry: been looking at the gasket kit on conceptzperformance but was wondering if its any good? and is there a differance between left and right hand drive gaskets? the kit works out at around £251 if that helps, thanks

Evening all :D Right, a few of you will know that I've not had Eliza on the road for a year now, and I'm really missing not driving her. There are various reasons as to why she has remained off-road, but the short of it is that I want her back on the road and working properly for this summer. Simply I could take her to an MOT station and get a ticket and put her back on the road, but I want the turbo problem sorting as well. So I'm fairly sure that at least one of the turbo's has 'gone' so the engine will have to come out, which one and if it definitely has gone or not I'll be checking very soon. But if my worse fears are confirmed then the engine pull will be…

was looking at getting traction control for my next Z, but my dad suggested this instead as it would be cheaper. what your opinion??

EBAY CLICKY Quotes: 'THE INTERIOR IS ABSOLOUTLEY SPOT ON ITS LIKE NEW APART FROM SOME WEAR AND TEAR ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSANGERS LEATHERS SEATS' LOL 'THE BACK END OF THE CAR HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO FERRARI LIGHTS AND THATS THE ONLY MODIFICATION' Do you think he realises his Headlight Panel and Front Bumper are not standard? His layout makes my eyes hurt! But on a good note... at least he's not claiming 500 imaginary horses under the hood! Enjoy!! Munny

Hi - girly alert, keep it simple please :) I've been travelling for a year so my Z has been sitting. It was fine before I left, have had it for 10 years. I want to get it back on the road and know I should change the oil and will need some new tyres. Have been told it's possible the plugs may be rusty too. Is there anything else I should check/be aware of? Has anyone had probs as a result of leaving a Z standing? Thank you :)

Google does some funny things, when looking for one thing you get such random items pop up that oddly they then are of interest?? http://www.justgiving.com/pages/?pid=1470111 Jeff TT
