Who is the best person to get one of these from, and how much? And also, a price for a set of flywheel bolts..... Tudor...

As you may well know my Zed is currently stuck in my garage with the front quite severly damaged due to some old dink pulling out of a side turning in her Focus. By the time I hit the brake I was colliding with her front wing. My car is repairable but the cost of parts alone is quite a sum. A Border front mount and AB Flug front panel is just over £2K, plus the other radiators, front wings and bonnet, lights etc., and an inner wing. No doubt my viscous fan is mullered too. The man from the bodyshop states that it is 'beyond economic repair'*. I do not have an agreed Insurance value, so where do you start with a valuation especially as prices today are grim. I have spent s…

Hey guys, just thought id post up a few pix of the cruise i went on recently. We were planing to head up to the Great Ocean Road which if some of you remember was awesome But had to change our plans due to bad weather conditions the day before.

So here are the pix, hope you guys like them.

Hi I have purchased a cat-back delete kit including the new elbows. In the process of removing the existing cats section I have sheared two bolts from the left three point hook up to the stock elbow. This even after much soaking/heat etc. So my question is - based on my experience to date and the above - I am pretty sure the turbo elbow fittings (two studs and two nuts) will be [hell of] a LOT harder!!! :hurl: I need to know that if I shear a stud/bolt on the actual elbows - will I be able to recover/drill out without removing the engine etc etc. Your guidance as ever is appreciated. ;) AndyGP

Ok, my UK twin turbo has been running a custom stainless decat with four 2.5" tailpipes and two small sport backboxes for about 18 months now. The car sounds great, and has just begun to start popping when I lift off the accelerator. I am now thinking of having the two silencers removed. Obviously I know it will make the car louder, but, will it also make the car sound much different; both on tickover and on full boost? Also does anybody have any ideas whether it will pop and bang with no silencers installed? Cheers, Dan

just saw this in japan and i like it :) yes lose the silly rear spoiler but once removed i think it would look ace Mike ps it helps that its got 750 bhp as well LOL

Hi guys just put my spare wheels on 2day,getting others recoated and ive got to say i do like the look of the spares,wot do you think ? my 18 my spares

Well i lasted 6 months without a zed, and im happy to say i took purchase of stevie007's(top bloke) zed today. it needs a bit of work cosmeticly and maybe a couple of performance mods but all in all it seems to be an excellent example, and a great blank canvass although this zed is going to be slightly more subtle than my last one. hope to see you at a few meets and shows sometime this year. cheers si

Going to be getting my engine rebuild shortly and was wondering what my options for turbos are (as 1 of mines has seized) I was originally wanting to have them reconditioned but im now defo wanting to buy brand new ones so i have peace of mind. How much would i be looking at paying for 2 new standard turbos + what is the next ones up from standard etc as i would maybe think about getting better ones than standards depending on cost + power differences. Cheers

just spent 4 hours trying to bleed the clutch through the three bleed nipples as per the online manual . soon as i start the engine. no peddle pressure clutch fork goes about halfway. anyone any thoughts billy

A short clip of me enjoying the targas off :dance::dance:........ loving my Manual box:bow:

Spotted yesterday parked up down a side street, didnt get a good look but looked very similar to Petes21st new zed...maybe same wheels? Who was it?

Dunno if it's a subscribed member, seen this car about a few times. All kitted up with pop up lights and Ferrari replica alloys, Ferrari badges etc. At least I think it's a 300zx, I recognised it from a side view, the shape of the rear hatch lid seemed familiar. I think the rear lights are still 300zx. I'm new at the 300zx thing! It was for sale as well, couldn't see the price.

I want to swap my manual transmission with a better one that I have. It does not have oil coooler since it's a jap spec. So my question is: Is the oil cooler for the transmission really needed or is it just overkill?
