going to change my spark plugs next week but which are the best for a standard 92 twin turbo fairlady,and what is the gap setting.All thoughts on this matter welcome.

this light came on yesterday- its the one in the dial binacle near the 'door open' light rather than lower down. only came on for a second or so when starting- I've checked the oil level which seems ok ( am never confident because of the design of the dipstick). Any thoughts on this as never seen it on before?

Looked like a LWB. Had aftermarket wheels on. Didn't see much else.

replaced the hoses hat the back of my engine but in process found one of the connectors had a broken wire. to get to it i had to remove a hose from the back of the plenum, which I found to have splits in it. ohh well . also found 2 pipes not connected to anything but am unsure if they matter as may be part of something that has been removed, will take pics tomorrow night

When you have fitted a Koyo Rad, do you need to re-set the ecu? I've fitted one today, and now my zed has decided not to fire on all cylinders :headvswal Any advice appreciated.. Thanks!!

This has popped up over and over again.... If you are unsure, check on this DVLA link Click on vehicle enquiry, enter your registration number and vehicle make and hit enter! Thread stickied. :)

On the approach into doncaster this morning i saw a yellow NA (im fairly sure it was, looked like it had had the bottom lip painted black actually) on the A630. First Zed ive seen out and about for ages and ages!

I've just been reading up on the new car tax regulations and it states "Cars registered before March 2001 do not qualify" but what about imports? My car was registered in 2006 although its a 1991 model, does that mean it will fall into the new tax bands because it wasn't UK registered until 2006?

My front mud flaps don't fit flush where they run along the sill- ( attachment to wheel arch is fine) has anyone had this problem & if so what have you used to attach firmly? thanks in advance

Hi guys, We need some help!! Does anyone know where I can get a complete cam belt kit for my Nissan 300zx 1992 Thanks

having some 324mm disks made up and was wondering what people thoughts were on whether to have grooved, drilled or a combination of the 2, and how many of each to have on the disk. ive heard some say drilled disks can crack if they get too hot, too many grooves reduces the contact area on a disk, the truth is i have no idea so advice would be appreciated thanks guys ps -will mainly be used on motorway runs and the odd race from the lights against anything that want to, but will prob take in on a few track days if the results are good enough.

Hi guys, Recently I posted up a thread regarding the collection of a 300ZX far away and I was asking for some advice on what to look out for etc... So... I give the guy the cash and drove the beast away, an immediate smile on my face, the purring V6 is fantastic, never driven an auto before and it was bliss. 50 miles later my pants started to fill, I gave it a little bootfull and the worst I could think of happened... The engine was misfiring like a biatch and there was no power, I sruggled to the top of the hill absolutely bricking myself (my parents were behind me) as I came to a slow halt. I looked under the hood and gave it a blip on the throttle, it was lum…
