Saw you cruising along the A27 between Eastern road and A3 at about 5 ish this evening. Looking good with the T tops off, I was on the bike that pulled up next to you and then buggered off.:D

Halfauds do small indicator lights for motorbikes in the shape of arrowheads, they are e marked. they are only very small and unobtrusive and are ideal for the use on my twins front bumper. But can anyone tell me would they be legal on a car rather than a bike Cheers Pete

At 9.40am today, silver, F registration, bodykit and alloys. Was it you? One day I might spot a member :headvswal

I need to get teh car round the corner to my mechanic, but it wont start and the gearbox is fooked.

Need to get a new set as mine have had it, have been looking at either a set of hard pipes or silicone ones. Is there any difference in power gains or are they about the same?

From what I can gather the power FC for the Zed isn't available anymore. Where can I get one? Are they any good? What's the cost? What will they do for the car? Thanks peeps. Paul

Been running the car in for two months now. Done over 1500 miles and not seen a single Zed, apart from when I saw my car in the reflection of a shop window. I've been driving around Romford, dagenham, Ilford, Chelmsford, Colchester, Fulhum, Chelsea, Acton, Central London, East London, West London, South and North London. Not a sasauge !!!! Where are you all hiding ?

Hi there, first post I was going to make it a cracker.......but gave up!! I have a Nissan key fob for my Z which has seen better days. As it is the only one I feel I need to buy a new one or two! Could anyone tell me where I can get one, please? Cheers!

Few CC questions. Do early Z32s come with the same CC ECUs than the really late ones with the airbags? Also, does anyone know if the wires are the same from the column on both types? Thanks

new to the Z world, and to this forum really. will be upping the boost shortly, on previous cars iv increased the boost by usung a dawes device (manual boost controller valve thing) on here people use "boost jets" (i thaught thats what you called manual boost controllers, but ive found out they are just mig tips) anyway, do you use boost jets as they are cheaper than daws device? or easier? as if you had daws device youd need to make sure they are dead the same, as 1 turbo could be running 12PSI and the second turbo 16PSI.

I fitted a boost controller on friday and since fitting i have had some boost issues the boost goes to about 0.5 bar and drops slightly then goes to about 1 bar and does the same then goes back up to 1 bar.my set up is as follows apexi induction kit,twin hks ssqs,jd chip,standard injectors,standard tubs and a kakimoto exhaust can anybody help.Oh and the boost controller is a Greedy profec b spec 2.

I passed you this evening on the twisty road between groes faen and cardiff in our big yellow lorry. If was a gun metal grey targa. driver has glasses. Im pretty sure it wasnt tubz

Ive just been offered an £800 double din touchscreen all singing-all dancing head unit for £150. The thing is, how do i go about mounting it to the car? Do the stock cd player brackets fit or are there aftermarket ones available?

HELP:headvswal has any one fitted one of these needle bearings? ive tryed freezing the bearing for a few days then heating the crank but with no joy. i dont want to start hitting it with a soft malet for fear of damage to the crank or bearing itself. the inner diameter is the correct size for the gear box spline shaft but, the outer diameter is far to large to fit into the crank. are there two different sized bearings or is there a knack to it? any advice will be most welcomed:duffer::duffer::duffer: cheers Mark

Hi Does anyone here know this 300........any info would be great if you do....Reg is GXI 2134 ...Many thanks Jay

OK before you watch this video, the car has been just on a 20 miles trip so it was at idle temp, heres a Picture: Video : [YOUTUBE]sqD67nbDgNQ[/YOUTUBE] Turbos seals gone or worse? I had the exhausts done, was on the way home and i just had a huge amount of smoke trail, it looked like i was on the dirt road, at traffic lights i couldn't see the car behind or anything. Can someone please suggest what it is? Thanks for looking *Edit: Smoke is extremely bad out of the left one, and a tiny bit on the right one

I would like to know just what has happened to our club?? There was one time when we had regular meets and not too bad a turn out at events but lately it as all gone Pete Tong. I love my car and I really like meeting other people with the same passion for the 300zx but it has all thinned out. I pay my subs just like many others but I feel that we are not getting our monies worth. We should be showing off the 300zx at all the national meets and I believe the reason we are not is down to our clubs meet organisers. Dont get me wrong im not trying to have a go at anyone, i'm sure we all have busy lives one way and another but I do believe that if someone has been chosen to lo…

Don't think it's anyone's on here. But I caught sight of the front quarter in one of the car parks. It was last week sometime. Think it was Tuesday.

Hi all, Might be selling my car, but only if I can replace it with a CZ32. I've been talking to Takehito of F-S-Auto and he says he hasn't seen a SWB Slicktop Manual Series 3+ TT in Silver, Black, or White (not pearl) in months and months. Now he said if I went for a different colour (possible respray) or an Auto and he converts it to Manual I'll increase my chances. Any importers here or people that watch Autotrader et al more than me ever see these come up? Would an auto to manual conversion be as pukka as a born manual car? Full resprays, that sounds like pain and something I'd wanna do myself and in this country. Help…

ive removed the pipe that goes from the dv to the air intake pipe. (this is the pipie that keeps the air recirculating to the system?) ive blocked up the ends, so now sorta makes a dumping niose, but nothing major. im after more chatter/pigeon nois, do i have to remove anyother pipes off the standard re-circs?

Hi, can anyone please recommend a courier for delivery of 4 x 18" wheels, cheap as possible?.... Thanks James

As above is there anything I can adjust to stop my clutch slipping? It is fairly new so dont understand why its slipping already....it is a stage 2 XTD Clutch and new lightened fly-wheel. It generally does it in 5th when I am driving it, but when Dave drives it hard it slips in 3rd, 4th n 5th i think and stinks.... Is it just a case of a crap clutch or what? when first installed it was stinking and slipping a bit then settled down after 500 miles or so now slipping again, shall i change it again or anything I can try to adjust?:(
