Picked up my new wheels today, thanks to bantambunny (top bloke) A set of speedline alesios The car looks really good now, think even funkisi will like my wheel choice and the stance of it:eek: Will post some picks up tomorrow:hyper::hyper:

Not sure what they are called, but they are where the spark plugs are by the heads. After looking at it closely you can see that the rubber seal on the end is not looking its best. What is its purpose? Is it possible to buy new rubber rings, cos Im guessing I need new ones? Thanks, Ant

Spotted a white ZX in North Chingford about 9 - 9.30PM.

the hex nuts bolts that hold the rear section of the prop shaft to the diff? 8mm is too big and 7mm is to small :confused:. I've tried imperial but the biggest i've got is 1/4" Cheers Dave

Heading into London , you turned off before the end of the M4 . Nice car !

just been on the z center and dta sites but cant find them anywhere, any ideas. thanks

Hi Folks, I am having to change the lower rear shock bushes. I have managed to butcher the old ones out and have got some ES replacements to fit. There looks to be a metal sleeve left in the arm....I am wondering is this part of the OEM bush and does it need to come out? Also is it actually possible to press/pull the ES replacement in with the arm still on the car and without a 30tonne hydraulic press!? I am thinking it might not be possible and have to buy some new OEM ones as they are much softer and should be easier to get in. Any comments/help/advice is much appreciated....I can't use my Z now cos I gone past the point of no return!:smash::smash: Thanks Guys…

saw this zed at santa pod today anybody know who it belongs to???

saw a g reg wide arch shorty leaving the carpark at santa pod today around 1:30 2:00 ish ??

I did a spot of racing the other night. Private road etc. And there was a skyline R32 GTR, running 1.4 bar, thats all i know. And what looked like road legal slicks. Now i know the 4 wheel drive makes a massive difference when launching but skylines just seem untouchable in drag races. I raced a scooby and managed to claw the lead back after the poor start. But the skyline, nah. Im sick of being beat by skylines. Any bright ideas? Apart from buy a skyline. A am awaiting a remap but that'll probly make the launch situation worse. cheers danny

Well, just got back from getting my Zed. It's now is snugged up in my garage outside:dance::dance: Well flew across Thursday and just got back today. Totally fooked !!! First i have to say a big, big thank you to Jeff, Linda and Jamie for helping out as they did and for the excellent work they have done to achieve my image of what i wanted to be. ;):D:dance: Also a big, big thank you to all at Amington Repair Centre for the excellent spray job, amazing work and well worth anyone thinking of getting a spray done to visit them:D And last but not least thank you to Wheelmania for supplying the wheels with the excellent advice (don't know if they come on here LO…

Yesterday around 5ish, turning on to the A40 west from Perivale direction. Such extreme styling, thought it was an R8 in the side mirror! Wasn't in my zed as im changing the wheel bearing:( There's only one yellow one like that I know of in the area, so, was it you?

in time with engine speed. the new alternator i got had a supressor on it to which i thought would be good but through my amplified speakers i get a alternator whine! went out and bought a ground loop isolator and i still have the noise. seperated the power and speaker cable and still there!! im at my wits end and need to stop this whine! help btw i have a tt alternator on an na car but i doubt it would make bugger all difference

When i am driving around and I have to stop at a juncion or whatever, sometimes when i go to accelarate away, the accelarator pedal feels like it's stuck but if i press down a little bit harder it unsticks and then the power light comes on ... it doesn't do this all the time, but it's really annoying... what could be causing it to want to go into power mode and for the accel pedal to suddenly stick a bit for me to force it down before i pulll away... any ideas guys?

just seen this on ebay what do you think ........:rofl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300zx-twin-turbo_W0QQitemZ220382268813QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item220382268813&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1308

Im doing my new clutch next weekend, luckily at a mates garage, with full access to ramps and air compressor. Ive done clutches on other cars no probs, also changed 2 x zed engines (Uno's old one and mine) and auto boxes. 1. What is a rough idea of time scale that others have done them in???? 2.Mine is a 94 UK, and has the bleed nipple on the slave, does this help me when i get to bleed it. Honest answers much appreciated. Stu

Hi People, the fan shroud on my Z is battered and looks crap. Is it ok to run without this? as far as im aware its only there to protect the fan so might remove it all together. Regards Andy

Hey all Is there any way to dim the greddy Profec BII or Turbo Timer when the lights come on? Cheers

i have been reading about safety boost and i am now confused.i have a jap tt and it reads up to 7 on the boost gauge(which i know can be a bit crappy),when i floor mine the needle is just falling short of the 7 ......is this good bad or safety boost...???
