Hi, I have tried posting pics of the z, but it is telling me they are to big. How do you resize them? Cheerz Chris.

Hey people, I recently put some deep dish 18s on my car and then found out that one of my rear suspensions had given up on me. Having said that I also noticed that the drive is really bad and uncomfortable. It feels as if you get thrown around in the car on uneven/bumpy roads. Must be due to suspensions being really soft as they are standard. So am looking to upgrade the shocks and suspensions soon. Have read good things about KYBs and Eibachs off course. I want to know with shocks and suspensions, what else needs to be changed?? as the whole current setup is standard. I've done a search and have come across tension rods and struts etc being mentioned but ain't got a cl…

I need to drain the oil out of the autobox on my breaker but my drain pan doesn't have a drain plug :mad: (I thought it was only NA's that didn't have them?). From what I can see I need to remove the drain pan bolts and the strainer then drain the oil. Am I going to get a face full of oil when I take the drain pan off or is there more to it? Also, do some TT autos have no drain plug or have I got an N/A autobox/sump pan on my car? Cheers Dave

Hi there, just drove my car back from work and it was going fine, parked up for about 2 hours and went to start it an dit was completely dead. Dash lights come on as normal but when i turn the key there is nothing!! The only noise was a on and off buzzing noise that appeared to be coming from the valvel for the boost controller. I have disconnecterd the power to that and gthe buzzing has gone but there is still nothing. There isnt even that ticking noise that you associat ewith a flat battery. I have had my jump starting pack on there and that made no difference so im fairly confident we can rule out a flat battery. The bugger of it is that its parked in th…

It's that time of year again when thinking about an LPG conversion. I have a Jap TT 300ZX Auto. It's reasonable on fuel for what it is. However, wondering if someone has taken the plunge and done an LPG conversion? I would insist the fuel tank be made to fit where the spare wheel goes so as to appear as normal as poss though.

I've got AP Racing CP5200 Brakes and 330mm AP discs on my Vectra. Would it be possible for these brakes to be fitted to my zed, either straight on or via a bracket? Reason I ask is they are worth about 1K and I'm selling the vectra soon. Here's a link to the AP Racing site about them; http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?product=Vectra+-+Front+4+Piston+Kit+CP5200-1027_1718_1062 Not really expecting it to be easy..lol

Hi all, The warning light on dashboard is showing all doors open,when in fact they are all closed, plus the overhead map reading light and the interior boot light is not working.
