Now i hunted and hunted for won of these,and must say not alot of people new where i could get one,so i thought my only option was to go to nissan,:cry: and thay priced the cuplin at £180 so i thought id have to bite the bullet and pay :hurl:. but i thought id give it one more try to find 1 and would you beleave after a few more phone calls,i found a scrapy that had a 300zx import close to my year,when got there looked at the car and got it lifted up,and there it was a lovely looking in perfect order steering cuplin,after a wee haggle i …

I was looking at a car on Autotrader that potentially ticked all the boxes for what I'm wanting, and was just within what I can currently afford at £2750. So I rang the chap up very expectantly, only to be told that it had already sold, which is a shame, but OK, I'm sure more will come along. However I've just been looking on Autotrader again and found the same car being sold again (I can just make out the number plate enough to know it's the same), but this time by a trader (previously it was on as private) and for £500 more, which just puts it over what I can possibly spend! How annoying is that!:rant: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/NISSAN+300+ZX/Ne-2…

where can i get a set of spitfire coil packs guys

i first noticed these in halfrauds and snorted as i walked past them thinking how rediculous and boy-racery they were. then i turned around and looked at them for a while. now in my search for a new set of alloys they have cropped up again. and i keep looking at them, and trying to picture them fitted to a blue Z with smoked side repeaters. do i need a :slap: and a pair of glasses?

The first goodie for my car has to be a decent boost controller to replace the bag 'o' shite thing thats already on it. I dont have millions of pounds to spend so whats the thoughts on here regards a good un to go for? M

Since i got my UK TT Manual, i always thought it was quick, having got used to it, i couldnt understand why it would only boost to 7psi. However today this has all changed. It started when i was reading a thread about a det bypass, having checked the resistor it was dead as a dodo. So i got hold of 5 x 1Mohm ones. (as spares) I disconnected the battery to reset the ecu, and did the bypass and an oil change and filter, After connecting it all back up, i noticed on the boost pipes, some jubilee clips, so i investigated to find that i have boost jets too. :hyper: One of which was blocked, after cleaning and checking it all. Started the engine to check the oil, and…

my passenger wheel is moving to the back of the arch whilst breaking and going over speed bumps, im assuming it could be some bush or bottom arm of some sort, would anuyone like to elaborate please

Some thieving shit has stolen my petrol cap. I don't want to drive the car so I'm slightly buggered. Does anyone have one and how much do you want for it.

Hi - I need somewhere where I can get used to the Z! I have only had it a couple of months and have not really driven it much. I put my foot down yesterday and the rear lit up going down a straight road!! Its scary and I want to know the cars limits before I give it too much! Does anyone know of anywhere that I can go to test it out? I live in Kent.

My rev counter needle sticks quite regularly. How do I sort this out? They have had the LED's fitted and have been converted to MPH if this makes a difference?

A great favour please - could someone with an unmodified SWB car please take a close-up photo of the door sill with the door open ? (L or R doesn't matter) Thanks :)

Is there a legal colour for the rear fog light switch illumination or could I have blue ? :confused: Cheers Maz.

I am doing the following and want to know 2 things. Firstly am i correct with the equipment i am going to use. And secondly EXACTLY what wires i will need to purchase. I am going to be running, aftermarket 90watt RMS rear 6x4's in the original place, aftermarket original size fronts, not sure what wattage yet, but as high RMS as i can. 2x 12" Subs in the rear. So what amps do i require, i am guessing i need a 4 channel amp for the 4 'original' speakers and a separate 2 channel amp for the subs, is this correct? Also i need to know EXACTLY what wires i am going to need, and which side of the car to thread them down etc...... To put it simply i know what…

Anyone know the diameter of the top feed from a Howe rad ?. I've been meaning to measure mine but haven't got round to it yet.

Hey, my car has a full dec cat system, filter, JWT chip and boost jets but im just setting my boost controller up and was wondering what boost to run? What do we think? current boost without controller is about 12psi

My Zed which I have owned now for a couple of years has air valves sticking up through the suspension mounts which todate I have never checked the pressure or connected them to a compressor. Unfortunately no paperwork came with the car on these items and thus I no jacksh#t about how to set them up or adjust them. Has anyone else got air shocks fitted or had experience of them. What I would like to know is what sort of pressure should they be set at for normal motoring and can you adjuct the ride height by increasing the pressure.

Hey! Has anyone got a screamer pipe or pipes? My exhaust sounds lovelt and deep bit just laks that JAP note. And you cant really hear a loude spool up noise so I was thinking about meshing one of the turbos as i did that on my glanza turbo and it sounds amazing! What we thinking?
