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?

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

Hey all I took the car out yesterday and it was the first time I got a chance to swith the boost controller onto high. Its set at 1.52 bar and its was very rapid especially as I had 3 grown men in the car as well. Cant wait to try it on my own. Only downside was that as I was accelerating I would occassionally get waht sounded like a rubbing noie at the back of the car. A whooooooop sort of noise. Is this likely to be my diff complaining about the sudden new amount of power its having to deal with?

Hey all Spent yesterday with the help of a friend installing my new ice. Ive dynamatted the doors and boot and fitted some JL VR650 comps in the front and a Pioneer TSWX77A active sub in the boot. This fits perfectly under the false floor. It sounds awesome really really recomended. I took it out for a spin yesterday and it was great on all counts. I have fitted the front tweeters with the recessed mounts in the door cards and they look really good. Really pleased!! :hyper:

Hi all, I'm after a pair of headlamp bulbs for a Z32 import, which I believe are H3C bulbs (2 prong). I've looked on ebay and they list H1 H4 etc as 300zx 90-94 bulbs. Surely they won't fit? Has anyone bought any H3C bulbs from ebay? If so can you post up a link please. Cheers.
