Who has these fitted? Show me your pics and fitting locations thanks. Im looking at buying (yes more spending) some omp seats with harnesses. Im thinking i can strap them to the original front inside belt bolt(tranmission tunnel) and then to the rear seat belt locations, but what will i do about the outside strap? mine is jap spec and its on the door ggrrrrrr. Does anyone happen to know if there is a hole or bolt location on that side i could use? Or do i have to weld a plate and nut there? One other thing, who has omp seats fitted? where did you get brackets from or did you have to fabricate some?

i got these lights off of a mate for free today but they dont fit into my headlights does anybody know where i can get the correct bulbs that will fit my car and the wiring from the unit or is there a conversion for the actual head light its self???

I came across the following link when I was thinking about eventually changing my stock intercoolers. It may be useful to anybody considering doing likewise. It may not have all brands but it covers quite a few. From the date on the post, it is around 2 years old, so there may have been further developments from each manufacturer but I doubt it. Hope the link is of some use. http://www.zdriver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19694

http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan_car/nissan/fairlady+z/1476659/photo/?sid=220&pn=6 whats going on at the rear of this jdm zed is that a flamer for the exhaust and what is that below the rear number plate, any ideas?

Hi All, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EeNZluEhydE I was watching the top gear comparisons of the Zed's on another link posted by Legrath I think. My assumption is that the car between the 300zx TT and the 350Z which JC drives is a SWB N/A Z32. Can't get a right look at it. Can anybody confirm that? If it is, it seemed to get a terrible start off the line, but I was still surprised how far down the field it finished. Is the NA that slow? Cheers, Colm

Theres been a bit of a delay in my project,however things are going well. Here are some pics sent to me. You cant faault the workmanship.

Guys - starting to develop an issue getting car into reverse. Happens occassionally. It can be difficult to select reverse. Sometimes I have to put it into 5th when its stationary and then down to reverse, which always works. I was watching "The Garage" one night and there was a similar problem on a Golf or something and it was put down to a bush on top of the gearbox which needed replacing. (Yes - I am trying to learn and the information provided on the garage suits my near total lack of knowledge ;) ) Has anybody experienced a similar problem and what was the remedy? Cheers Colm

Eventually managed to get my engine and gearbox out today, its the first time I have tried on a zed or any sort of car. Quite pleased with myself.:) I might take the gearbox off first next time, might be a bit easier. Once I have finished stripping the rest of the car I can start rebuilding the engine.

I'm looking for both the Top Gear 6 (I think) Z car line up and race and also the 300ZX Land Speed record on the Bonoville (spellning I know) salt flats speed record but can't find either, anyone help :) CheerZ Paul

is there a wolly guide to take out the injectors?

I've got a new set of Focal VR component speakers for the front doors (yeehaw). Just wondered if anyone had cut a set of tweeters in a front door panel and if so where abouts in the door without hopefully cutting the steel behind. Cheers Mike

Just recently purchased a 1991 N/A auto LWB and have began to look over it. Looking inside my N/A engine compartment from the front on the right hand side under the main induction hose & Fuse box, there is a single connector with a blue wire which is unplugged. Any idea what it does? I have also have noticed that the aircon belt is missing don't know whether that is anything to do with it? Is it possible belt was removed because of the aircon is U/S? or did it snap and was never replaced. Or do people remove it gain more efficiency?

Bit of an odd question (after reading everyone disconnecting their's) but can you Retro-Fit cruise control to the 300zx?? And if so what would be required (bit of a long shot I know :wack:).

My new seats and gauges, please excuse the messy carpet and i havent attached the controls yet but you get the idea

Hi All Someone was asking about this a couple of weeks ago..... Here's one on fleabay item no: 120334981760 Best of luck whoever it is that wanted one ! Tony

Just curious to see how everyones spool up times vary Mine seems to take rather long at the moment on stock downpipes :( 3500rpm to get to 14psi i know my ebc needs setting up a bit better, havent really had the opportunity to do so yet :( it does however keep pulling all the way up the rev range, 4th gear feels rapid at top end. This is all temporary until i order me some 530BB's :D

Iv seen this on ebay and it seems nice but the guy has no proof of the bhp (no rolling road printout from the remap) What do we all think, I know the turbos fitted are very good but will it be reliable with these turbos, exhaust and remap? dont think it has any other mods done. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320318846849
