While getting the car going noticed the fan (origanal plastic one )had loads of large splits in the plastic any one no the cause its not been hit or any thing going to replace it just wonderd why

Saw you this evening at about 5.40 coming up to the M1/M62 junction. NMice looking zed too. Anyone on here?

Well sooner than expected I decided to bring the new project home to Lutterworth. Slick Pete gave me a day of his life to help out (thank you buddy, much appreciated!). We started off about 10am and got back to ashby after dropping all the parts off at Lutterworth about 7pm. I've spent today moving everything around and tidying up as well as putting the original wheels back on and setting the panels up. Spacing is a bugger but I think I'm just about there, just the bottom of the panels to drill and bolt up and they're done. I also sorted out all the electrics on the car to get everything working, even the brake lights work now! I've also nicked a few bit…

Took the Zed to my garage ( Tesco`s covered car park ! ) to try to change the front pads but failed at the first hurdle . I couldn`t loosen the large " nut " in the centre of the Rays VolkRacing wheels . Tried a bit of tapping but didn`t wanna damage it . Is there anywhere I can get a tool for this ?

My son has just bought the crashed na zed from john-e-retro and i need to get it from oxford to me . Anyone able to help. or recomend someone. Thanks all

I thought id treat it to new plugs, as looked old sooty and tired, removed plugs inserted new ones, started it and it ran but there were flicking tick tick noises, like the noise you woul hear on a ht lead that was shorting out but no sparks to be seen or anything so iturned it off, i checked as best i could nothing was out of place or wrong, all seemed ok, so started it again and was running on 3 cylinders, and engine sounded weird, then it dropped to 2 cyls i wiggled the wiring loom that supplies the coils and injectors and it went to 3/4 cyls then dropped to maybe one then chucked it and now wont start at all HELP! ive tried another ptu, no good, mines a series 2 anyw…

just did the first oil change since I bought the car in september(not driven it in months been stored in the garage) couldn't find the sump plug at first them i realised it was actually the bolt I though it wasn't as it has a cable attatched to it with my other z hasn't. So I presume this would be an aftermarket sensor for pressure as there are no new dials on it. Anyone else seen these? I've seen the filter sandwhich plate ones but not these.

I'm looking for a manual box, I've stuck an ad in the wanted section, just wondering if the same box was fitted on any other nissans, and if they would be straight swap? (due to my Auto box slowly losing the will to live :-)

Was walking down near Flares pub about 6.30 and you went past with a nice burble :D

Hey guys, Right atm my Z is with Darren at D2 having an engine swap and a manual conversion... while the engines out Darren suggested fitting Performance Headers... Does anyone have any links for the best place to get em... from past experience or whatnot? Cheers in advance Rich

Hi Folks, Had to replace the slave cylinder on the other halfs Fairlady. No problem (I thought), 15 minute job, replace, bleed and back in business. Nope, for some reason I can get resistance on the pedal with the engine off, but when I start up I can't get anything. Where have I gone wrong ? :headvswal

Hi Guys I wondered if you could give me some advice. 1) Yesterday my car began smoking from under the passenger side dashboard and you could clearly see water dripping out from under it(in particular when turning right). On inspection both the drivers side and passenger carpets were soaking wet! I assume it is the heater matrix, but can someone confirm this?? 2) If so, I want to dry the carpets out and store the car for a few months. If the heater system is not switched on will the car still leak the water whilst driving? Its just I dont want to store it with a wet floor pan and I need to drive the car to the storage. Thanks for your advice in advance!

I fitted Alpine speakers in my doors when all the interior came out, but never felt there was enough definition there. I have just bought a custom sub box for a 12" sub to go in the rear, I've replaced the rear speakers with Alpine speakers also. But, do I got for component speakers in the front? The Alpine speakers I am currently looking at appear to be the same as the ones I already have fitted, but obviously with the tweeter which I don't have. So, is it worth replacing these? Or will I not notice much of a difference?

I saved the image that you posted a while back of the Z32 lines and if I remember it was also one of your favourites What are those wheels and what offset would they have to look so perfect in the wheel arch? It just looks perfect. Thanks, C

does any one know how i can contact jeff tonight
