Hi! Now I am trying to put the adjustable upper link, but I have a problem... MY new upper are a little bigger that old´s. It is normal?, or I need to make bigger the hole? Thanks Regards

How do you adjust the windows, looking to see if i can pull mines up higher?

Take a look at ebay item number 250313490772..... Then read the small print...... Exchange engine removed or a 25% surcharge Yet they claim all sourced from JApan....... NOT methinks ! What do you think

Clicky Cool Zed which is abit different! Enjoy the Video!!

The next mods i want to do to my car is upgrade the fornt brakes, as they are dire :slap: I was looking at the 345mm upgrade that someone on here was doing, and was thinking bout doing it myself. Does anyone know what discs to use ? And does anyone have an engineers drawing, or measurements of the brackets, so i can make them up :) cheers

Are lwb and swb wings the same or are they different?

After mondays reconstruction day the the Collision Investigation Unit at TRL, one of the tests that were conducted was the braking abilities of the 300zx. The standard was set by a fully laiden 58 reg Mercedes Vito van, with a gross weight of 3 tonnes. 3 300zx's were used in the test. I cannot personally vouch for the condition of the other 2 zeds brakes, but i can confirm that following a check 6 weeks ago, my brakes are in full working condition with no seized pistons etc etc etc. The conditions were slightly damp, and the same bit of tarmac was used for the runs, so therefore i have given the average figures. The test was conducted at 30mph, using a fixed braking …

Happy Birthday Steve, I hope you have a good one. :duffer:

Hi I have been looking for a service and repair manual for some time now (hard copy) and have found a 1996 edition version with an al black front with white lettering on the net. Will this be ok for a 1990Z I have seen another version dated 1994 for a similar price too and just wondered what woul dbe the best one to go for? any idea? If anyone knows of a manual for sale let me know too I have already posted in the wanted section but no luck so far. Next month there will probabaly be 2 for sale lol.

As title....... Just got off the phone after talking to Jeff (ZedWorld) for quite some time regarding what we can do about Eliza. It's now looking like she'll be 'Trucked' down to ZedWorld (that's because she doesn't have an MOT, Tax or insurance at the moment), at which point she'll be examined as to the extent of the boost problem and, basically, we'll see from there as to how much it's going to cost etc. Then there is still the small matter of an MOT to be done before I can have her back on the road, hopefully for next summer, although she won't be looking as good as she used to, but that's down to the paint problem on the front end. Jeff, if you get to see this…

hi all,ive been looking around and ive seen a lot of zeds with the fake 99 spec rear lights.i have looked everywere to find a forum for it on here with no luck:( how hard is it and were do i get the clear plastic from?cheers:o

K reg, Dark blue? Spotted as I was coming out of the station, a nice surprise. Standard looking, very nice sounding. Cruised past Ealing Brodaway station and turned left onto the Uxbridge road towards acton. Anyone here?

Used to know this one, but never having done it myself am not so sure now, anyway.. converting a jap spec interior to a UK spec, fitting UK seatbelts in the B-pillar, as the UK spec is pre threaded in the pillar ?? and the Jap spec ain't, how do you attach the main securing bolt for the belt to the b-pillar folks ? :) Thankingyou... Cheers Smithy

Hey guys and girls I am so sick of a particular squeek that I have taken drastic measures. To re-create it I had to stand on my car and jump up and down what it showed me was that a squeek occurred in time to the movement of the front ARB. Anyone got any tips on what part it might be? Bushes brackets etc? I'm gonna get under it and get it off and try and grease everything up. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem. Cheers

For the last week or so I have been hunting around for some Targa bags and missed out on Flebay. Yesterday whilst getting my scissor jack out (for a perticular tyre fitter :mac1:) I found 2 in with the spare wheel....:dance: saved me a few quid and a 'oh crap whats this in my boot' moment.

:(I'm looking to sell my 92 uk tt manual 160k miles loads & loads of service history and the only real problem is the tailgate could do with some tlc. mot'd & taxed until feb 09 i would stick 12 mot on it. What price's are these selling for at the moment before I make a decision on selling? The only reason i'm asking is my company car is up for renewal and i would like to buy it in lieu of my Z. Thanks in advance for your advice guy's.

my zed has developed a squeek, not dissimilar to a duck on heat, its so loud i can hear it in the car with the stereo turned up (believe me its turned up as i try to ignore all the looks of people saying look at thet idiot in his big fancy car that sounds like a randy duck) anyway back on topic, it is coming from the front left suspension, it happens on any uneven road, pot holes, drain covers, speed bumps, or if i bounce up and down on the front left wing. i recently had new front tension rods which werent as hassle free as i hoped and i'm wondering if they are still at fault, i also have bigger front brakes. so finally getting to my question: is this a t…

high level rear spoiler, i think a single exit exhaust, big wheels... i wasnt in the zed but you drove past me on the A120 eastbound. was it you?

I like the ride I have with my Z which as far as I know is standard. But I do fancy lowering it. I have read all of your views on whether it's right or wrong. But never the less I may have to find ouy for myself sometime. But it dose seam expensive for the full job. So I wondered for an entry level to fit lowered springs but not with a hard ride. I also come on this on ebay and you have to admit it's cheap. But is it any good? Any views are welcome. Thanks. follow link. cgi.ebay.co.uk/90-96-Nissan-300ZX-Skyline-R32-Low-Springs-Coilovers

Might it just need tracking or could it be camber? It's a 65,000 mile car on original suspension and after market 18" wheels.
