Some photos of the one wheel. No tyre yet but gives an idea of what they will look like. Fair play he has done a cracking job. Polished every individual bolt as well and the valve stems (still to be fitted)

hi all i am trying to find out were i could get 2 rear boxes for my 96 non turbo 300zx i am in dublin any heilp would be great

A quick question. My split rims are off for refurb and are 90% complete. He is now bolting them back together. Unfortunately (doh) he didn't note which had the bigger offset front or rear. As a rule of thumb what usually has the bigger offset on our cars front or rear. I need to call him tomoz (sat) so he can start putting them back together. Cheers Mike

Hi all, just wondering what sort of price i would expect to pay to get an electronic boost controller fitted . Dont want to piss about with it myself ill f@@k something up thats my luck. Or if theres anyone in the south wales area thats fancys earning a few bucks to fit it let me know.

I do not wish to fiddle with things as they are running great and was fitting on the car 5 years ago in japan by the looks.hks evc 4 on the lcd reads 0.7 low and 0.8 hi settings are these in bar?(bar seems to be more likely) or kpa? cheers in advance also anyone have a pdf of set up

When I put my engine back in I bypassed the stock boost solenoids as one was faulty! Now I am only getting 0.6bar with no boost leaks as I tested for boost leaks today. I connected the pressure feed pipes directly to the wastegates and plugged the other two pipes to the turbo inlet. I have a feeling I should have tee'd these Doh! Doe's this make sense?

my car has been lowered, however, i think it could go down half an inch. my wheels are 9J, and i have 225/45/17 tires. dont want to get the arches rolled, as the wheels will not be wide enough to come to the edge of the arch then. can i just cut the inside of the arch away? as the arch folds in by about 1 inch. dont want my tires to hit the inside of the arch

Almost like a rotary whooshy creaky noise. Not wheel bearing. If I press on the brake pedal hard, it goes away. If I corner hard on a left turn it goes away. I've had the car in the air. Wheel spins very freely, no sounds, wheels / spacers are on tight. No other sign of wear, I've had a very light version of this noise for some time which I could never trace, it went away for a while, but has come back again now and louder. The faster I go though, the less the noise can be heard, ie road noise cancels it out. There's no vibration through the steering either.

It's fairly possitive, although not the best testers in the world!! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TsocJNT7E14&feature=channel

Hi. I have a set off bbs alloy wheels and the adapter to attach the air supply to is in the alloy itself and is covered by a screw, to give it the same look all the way round of alan key studs, was wondering if anyone has the adapter that is needed to go from the air supply onto the fitting as it doesn't fit in the current state. cheers craig

Hey, I managed to get the beast running sweet on wednesday but when I cam out last night the batt was dead and when I tryed to jump it the engine turned but did not fire up even after I had the jump leads on it for 30 mins. Just one more f*cking annoying day in the life of my piece of s*it Z!
