Pearl white private plate at lakeside 1.30am

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.

Any members on here got an invader 2 front bumper? I am trying to work out a place to fit the indicators and side lights?

Hi there all, Going through my hard drive the other day and found some pics the miss'us took last winter. Here in Germany we had this weather for about a month a because of it the Zed didnt move for over 2 weeks. Oh and had to get the rear arches done because of it to LOL :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal Enjoy, Rob

I've been attacking the Z on two fronts this week. I have my three gauges fitted and all wired in as well as the sound system, while we were at it the front lights were all fixed as they weren't working. So all the drivers side dash and trim is now back together rather than looking like a plate of wire spaghetti! I also mocked up the run from the single turbo to the intercooler and intercooler to throttle bodies which includes two Bailey Venturi dump valves. Will have all the joiners and proper hoses next week so will post up some pictures once it's all done properly. Also picked up two small radiators to replace the large single one I can't fit in! Combined th…

hi mate, didn't know how to attach pics in prvt message, so i put em on here. al.

Just took some pictures of the z and tried to update my rides but pictures are to large to add. Can any body tell me how i can reduce them in laymans term please a bit thick when it comes to stuff like this:rolleyes: Dave

Lesson learnt after replacing the clutch, had a few bits to sort out ie, a few bolts and adjusting. After in a rush to get the motor running, OVERTIGHTEND the starter motor bolts and sheared the threads.:slap: Went to start today, and one turn then just a whine noise. Checked and the starter was hanging off. So an hour later after retapping the thread to the box with an M12 tap and die and its sorted, Been out testing it, and its so much better.:nana2:

are there any tell tail signs of a manual conversion simpally coz id like to know if my zed has always been a manual or if it has been converted :) :)

my NA has a problem, its hesitant when you lift your foot of the accelerator and put it back on. It also drops the revs when you try and pull away.

need to find a nice location for a photo shoot

Im just weighing up my options at the moment as it may look like one of my turbos is on it's way out. The car is showing just over 92000 miles but i think only 5-10000 miles were done in the uk as its a jap import so probably about 70,000 kilometers on what looks to be the original turbos so it's kind of understandable i guess. I recently had the middle boxes removed from my exhaust and replaced with straight through stainless to mate up with the stainless rear boxes. I purposefully left the cats in due to all the horror stories about the turbo seals going, etc.. So, after doing the box removal, i now have a little white smoke coming from the passenger side exhaust. Luc…
