Dunno if anyone from here as not seen it around my area before,on the bypass in Mexborough this morn around 8.30am

am going to change my front pads. running ferrodo 2500 at the mo, but the f**king squealing is doing my head in!! :x::x: thinking of either ebc red stuff or yellow stuff. have read the write ups for both pads, red seems ok, but i know the braking on a zed suffers from huge amounts of heat, so, the yellow option seems a winner, but does yellow squeal like the ferrodo 2500??? if it does then its a big no,no!!! is anyone running theses pads? all feedback welcomed. cheers people, al.

While removing bits ready to do the engine pull in the new year I decided to remove the Hicas. I have the elimination bar and will be doing this at a later date. I have the N/A PAS pot and N/A pump. I've managed to remove the TT pump and was looking at swapping the N/A pot. I guess with the N/A pot, as it only has the 2 pipes coming out unlike the TT pot that has 3, that you do a swap like for like with the pipes and remove the one that would of gone to the Hicas from the the TT pot? Where I've circled marked A, would this be the pipes going under the car to the Hicas? Can these be cut where I have circled and be removed when I fit the bar at a later date? …

Was it you i flashed at on sunday afternoon i was in the purple bmw 5 series coming over the bridge by north camp station?

Havnt used my zed for a couple of weeks, and yesterday decided to take it for a little drive. After about 6 miles of steady driving I stopped the car and was talking to a mate. After about 7 or 8 minutes I noticed the offside exhaust started to very lightly blow blue smoke out. I switched the engine off after that. Drove it home and let it idle at home to see if it did it again, however,it didnt. Whats caused it to do it in the first place? Are my turbos on their way out? Cheers guys, Dan

Was a bit board this afternoon and found this website. Never Knew Zeds had been in so many fims, albeit for a few seconds. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=nissan+&model=300zx&page=1

Just driving home and loads of traffic on a local dual carriageway near me, Blue lights all round, a highways lorry and a tow truck. Come along side a red 07 350Z, looks like driver lost it bigtime coming off roundabout and wrapped it passenger door into a large cement lampost. No pic, but i hope the driver is ok. Well and truly a write off, as it smashed the post down 45 degrees.

Afternoon, Now i've got the bits to do the suspension and brakes i think it's time to get a bit more out of the engine. I've already got the ECU upgrade, EBC and an Apexi filter so it seem that the only things to get me up to 14psi would be on the exhaust side. I was planning on getting some divorced downpipes and a Mongoose exhaust but i can't decide what to do about the cats. I've found some Hi-Flow cats on Z1 but was wondering if they're worth the money. I don't want to de-cat as the car's a 96 and it would mean sticking them back on once a year for the MOT and there's also the issue with the turbo seals. Does anyone know if Hi-Flow cats much better than the …

Just been watching Police Intercepters on FIVER, and there was a Silver Z at a petrol station in Essex. Reg was blanked off???

What needs to be done by me, what will the bodyshop do? How can I keep the costs down, but still get a factory quality finish? what is painted off the car? bonnet, doors, tailgate etc? who has the best reputation for this type of work? remember I am based in the midlands..

hi guys ive just brought some new front brake pads for my twin turbo z.is there a guide on here on how to do it yourself?ive looked and cant find!cheers:duffer:

:wack::wack::wack::wack: It results in 90+ mph 4th gear drifts and needing a new front bumper! :smash:

anyone got any? I can only find bayside blue ones. Since the zed is staying, the mrs has convinced me to get a respray - I reckon daytona blue is the way forward, but cant find any pics to make sure.

Went past the Carnarvon Pub today gave you a wave as you flashed Was pretty weird as i was sat in the pub thinking i've not seen one for ages then one comes past, telepathic me :D

Anyone running these? Is it worth the money and why? what can you do with the EDFC?

Hey all Well after almost a year and a half of being in and out of the garage I finally got it out on track for a shakedown. Brands today :dance: Its running 410fwhp and 400ftlb torque according to the dyno. I'm guessing about 360 at the rear wheels. Was very tentative on the first couple of laps and took it very steady but slowly got used to the track and started to put my foot down. I have a long way to go before I get to understand where the break points are but i was really impressed. Grip was huge I dont think I got it out of shape at anytime except when I was a bit clunky with the steering. Going through surtees and into mclaren the car really…
