Hey all I was told that my alloys are buckled, wonder wheels took them away and brought them back and said they could not repair them, anyone know someone who can?

Hey all my bonger that goes off when I leave the lights on has decided to start bonging whne I stop? any ideas pinched cable perhaps? :)

I recently purchased the above and my car is at the bodyshop. Just want to know if this can be fitted with the windcreen in place. It is the piece that runs from the plastic corner joins at the top right, down and along the bottom, then up to the top left plastic corner piece.

how bad is it if my mate has lost the log book for his car, then: i bought it off him for a bargain, now hes moved out the country and i need to get the log book to sell it

Metallic Dark Grey Z going up Turpin Green Lane at 8.50 this morning . K reg. Anyone on here ? I was on foot . Not seen you before ??:confused:

How/why is this? driving slow. was parkt up in traffic for about 15 mins, not a warm day even. lookt at temp gauge, was right up. steam coming out of bonnet etc. drove 5 mins then stopped. the Heaters were stone cold??? put a kettle of water init, trickled home. there is no gunk around the oil cap? (head gasket symptom) and the viscus fan is connected etc. suggestions? iv got a mechanic having a look ina few days, just after some thaughts.

Well yesterday they came and looked at the Zed for my insurance. Surprise (NOT) that they wrote it off to day. Not economical to fix he said. I was then told i can keep the car and would receive 2 grand to fix it. I was speaking to the guy and i said how do you recone that. He said they use the guide book and look at sites like pistonheads etc to see what they go for. He was on the site when i spoke to him and he was reading out some of the Zeds for sale. There were alot going for a 1000. I was shocked to see how low the value had gone. Fookin govenments fault...bazard petrol prices!!!

Im just asking you peeps whats the better option?? Are 6x9's a good buy or would it be better to buy individual speakers for mid bass etc.... i have tweeters etc but was expanding to put in a sub and speakers. Just confused about what to do for the best. Does anyone know any good sites for installation know hows?? Cheers:nana2:johno

Hello all! just a quick one, Just tried to check TPS with volt meter and I must be doing something wrong? because the volt are all over the place 11.3 and when pedal is on full it drops to 9.5 dont think thats right some how?? but when I press pedal, no fully down theres a noise coming from bottom of engine it sounds like overhead power cables then on full throttle it fades out,its on passenger side somewhere near the bottom of engine? any ideas what thats about???

It's that time of the year where I've gotta get the thing MoT and would like to get a few minor jobs done at the same time. Used SWZ last year but they aint a garage no more from what I can see. Any suggestions? Would like it to be a little closer to London then SWZ! That way I can get myself home easlier when I drop the car off! :)

My standard back boxes where completely f@cked. I had quotes for around the £1000 mark for a full new system, and money is a bit tight at the minute. Anyway thanks to djtomo got a cat back system cheap as the company he bought his from had sent him a swb system by mistake. Heres some pics. (Camera phone pics) Eventually i want a standard looking system double twin, but this will do for now. Now i just have to get organised and get my engine sorted out for rebuild. Cheers

Just something I've noticed...and I'm not the first. 240Z, 260Z, 280ZX, Z31 and Z32 drivers will always give some kind of recognisional gesture when they see each other on the road....but 350Z drivers....NEVER do. It's something the US guys have noticed as well. A complete disregard for the entire Z marque. I am sure most of them don't really know the Z heritage as the Z33 is too new and many that buy them don't appreciate or know about the Z car range. It's no real loss as I've never really liked the Z33, but I'll always acknowledge it as a Z car. I am sure that in about 10 - 15 years time when most of the remaining examples have fallen into Z enthusiasts' hands wil…

My stock tubs need replacing, was going to cost me £2600 for the hybrids and labour all in, but for an extra £1000, im going to be getting all this. The spec of the engine is JWT530BB Turbos and downpipes, full unorthodox racing pulley set, Fidanza Flywheel, RPS Max street clutch, Nismo 555 injectors and wesico pistons.It will be stripped down and rebuilt again by Chris from z tech, new gaskets etc and a full service inc cam belt, head gasket, water pump etc, all parts have done less than a 1000 miles and the engine itself has only done about 50,000 miles, i'm hoping to see high 400bhp, is this a bargain?

Dan.. trying to ring you, your phone engaged continually!!!??

Tried to fit my boost controller yesterday, put the new ECU in and connected the controller to it! get to fitting the Pressure sensor and I'm missing a bit:cry: AVC-R supplied air filter, Does anyone know where I can get this and also a T-connector and straight connector? and possibly a small section of pipe:bow::bow: The electronic parts are working fine though:nana2::dance:

I'm getting there, but! I have got the air blowing cold (not chilled) but it only seems to be coming from the top and bottom with nothing from the centre or door vents there are no controls that you can divert it manually are there? ANY IDEAS PLEASE? Thanks vini

The leather in my car is generally in pretty good shape but it has the usual cracks and crease lines on the drivers seat pad and bolsters. I did a forum search for leather repair but most of the posts are fairly old, has anyone used any specific products recently they can recommend? I was going to try the kit from furnitureclinic, Any opinions? :D http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Colour_Repair_Kit.htm

I just got my renewal through.. Pretty impressed really. Jap Import N/A 300zx Targa... £450 :)

my alloys are starting to peel showing a nice white wheel underneath, my front right is the worst. but i am thinking i would like to have white alloys is there anything i can remove the alloy so i can have white wheels insted without damaging the tyres. :hyper:

removed rear wiper, as looks too big, and car looks much cleaner without it. not going to splash out on a re-spray/filler job at the mo, just going to blank it off. found this, http://www.screwfix.com/prods/18603/Electrical/Cable-Accessories/PVC-Grommets/PVC-Grommet-Closed-Pack-of-100# just wondered if anyone else done it, or knows the correct size rubber grommet to replace the hole.

I have found a company that can do automatic to manual gearbox conversions for approx £900. Their phone number is 0776 176 3474. Comes highly recommended apparently. Dave

BBS LMs have always been up there as one of my favourite rims. But I've never seen a Z with a set on until I stumbled across these. It's tooooo low at the back, but the wheels work so damn well. Offset wins a life too! Perfect fitment. Alas, I've spent way too much lately and certainly can't afford these at the moment. Maybe one day! Poor quality photos, but nice to see such a quality rim on the Z.

As above which clutch shall I choose? both similar price, act one 2 weeks delivery, other one 2-3 days...please help cos dont want it to slip again cos I gotta pay for next one:nono:opinions please asap:rolleyes:bloody clutches:headvswal

Saw your post on our mkivsupra.net site, so thought I'd repay the compliment:) Nice cars the ZX, almost got one before I decided on a Supra.
