Hi all me again, Has anyone changed the bushes on the diff? Ive got the diff out now im just having trouble getting the old bushes off. The hardest ones are the ones attached to the chassis of the car. Do i need a press? Cheers

I have discovered i have a hole in my exhaust, a big one, here: As in that above photo, but without the plug, its on the passenger side. You can see in this pic what SHOULD go here: How would this affect my engine?

I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to sell thier modified Z in the last couple of months ?. I've had a few offers but not anywhere near what I was after. Although I was thinking of waiting due to the market, I've now got my heart set on a nice X5 and I'm kinda thinking that I could sit on the price for ages and still not sell, so I guess I have to be a little more realistic and drop the price by a few grand.

*Thinking* of getting shot of my front bumper and replacing it with a Scarab or the like instead - Mine is an original 99 spec bumper not a copy. I think it makes my car look too soft or something at the front - anyone with a different bumper (not the original or 99 spec) want shot/swaps/sell?

Can someone post a pic, with dimensions of the standard 300zx SMIC ? as i might have found a very cheap uprated replacment, but need to do someone measuring and my car is 50 miles away for the next week or so :smash:

:eek:have i got a ghost in my z. Today I unlocked the garage to take the z out for its first drive in 09, it hadent been out all over the christmass break and last night i checked the tyres oil and water and locked all up again then today when i opened the locked garage and opened the z door the drivers electric seat was fully reclined! I didnt recline it and no one has been in the garage since I locked it last night (and I was sober) I cant explain it. Has anyone else got unexplained mystery gremlins or ghosts.

Does anybody know where I can get a cheap Mongoose Catback quad exhaust? The cheapest I've found so far is £350 less VAT from zcentre. Cheers Dave

I´m looking for a widebodykit that doesn´t look "like too much". I like the strosek one (I own a strosek front), but strosek is pretty expensive. The widebodykits I know have very agressive rear skirts, I don´t like that. Anyone an idea for me?

My car is having missfiring issues which some of you would have read about recently and ive narrowed it down to cylinder number one not firing. (Running on 5 cylinders) Note:The connector on number one is the only broken connector. (still seats ok) All injectors are clicking All coilpacks are working All Coilpack connectors are working So i fiqured that it must be the spark plug, so i removed the plug and its covered in black powder (Overfueling) which says again that its not sparking But its only just dawned on me... Its dry... Does that matter? EDIT- CAR NO LONGER STARTS! Ive installed a new spark plug in cylinder one (same…

Been talking to the talk audio guys, and the install I was planning for the z wont work:( Cant use all the subs together as they will sound wrong and all the stuff I have got is a load of rubbish. Not sure what to do next, should I just go a head with it anyway and the hell to what they say, just use some of it or sell the lot and hope I get enough money to buy some decent stuff.

Hi all not sure if i have posted these yet still trying to use the site but here are the pics of my 300zx.

After having no luck obtaining a second hand master cylinder I had nothing to lose by attempting to seal the leak using liquid metal which to seems to have worked:D Question is as I have stopped the leak externally whats the opinion of the internals now as Im unsure whats behind the area it was leaking from (if that makes sense...lol) Basically the leak was coming from the front bung of the cylinder but everyone I have spoken to says its the first they have heard of leaking from that point. Opinions are very welcome. Cheers Paul

Finally found my copy of it but can't for the life of me work out how to install it :( Any ideas? Cheers Vijay
