Hi people, I have just taken out and checked 2 of my spark plugs and found that they are BOSCH PLATIN FR7DP1X and I'm assuming the other 4 are the same and thay look ok. I did a search on this site with no results. So my question is, are these plugs any good or should I bin them and get proper ones ? CheerZ Paul

Has any one still got the mould for this bumper or anything like it i belive its a trust copy .thanks.:cool:

We have coming up soon on ebay, the following parts........... Front mount intercooler 99 spec front bumper and light 99 spec rear spoiler, with tailgate I just wondered if this was andy z i know hes not a trader anymore but i wasnt sure if this was him or not it mentions supercar parts on his ad.

I passed a black Z heading slowly east on the M4 (lane 1), before junction 15 (Marlborough) around 2ish this afternoon. I think the reg number ended in PCE, the driver was bald-ish (no offence, I am as well!!) I slowed down but couldn't wave as I was concentrating on not hitting the black Range Rover Sport crawling along at 69mpg in the middle lane. I was in a black Merc SLK. Anyone here - perhaps on the way to/from Z-tech? Richard:cool:

im thinking about some sideskirts - as ive never had them on my Z before i need to ask, how much do they 'lower' the car by? i ask because im pushing my luck just getting into the driveway and im worried i'll ground the sideskirts if they come down below the standard skirts too much.

where's the best place that does 'soft' number plates? ive tried fancyplates but they dont do them.

after promising myself at the start of the year not to spend any more money on her after the rebuild... ...after buying a new interior... ...ive just gone and bought a new front bumper :headvswal :cry: the car made me do it I tell you!!!

Hi - My Zed's just failed it's MoT:cry: Main reason was "Nearside front steering rack gaiter split". Any advice on where's the best place to buy one? Also an 'advisory' that the fuel pipes are corroded. Is it a big job to change them?

Just fitted hids, and tried to earth the hids to the car to get them to stay on when I flash. Hasn't worked:headvswal I have a different wiring system than stock as they have a direct feed from the battery. :bow:anyone got any ideas??:bow:

how easy, ive noticed that my rear brake pipes are slightly corroded are they an easy job, they look a bit akward, may just pay someone to do it, could they be rerouted to make them easier to replace

Think its the same car on rochford road.

Bright red with a private plate reading "Ste" around lunch-time today, (7th June).

Just about to take the Zed for its MOT, should have been done at the beginning of April but I forgot :x::nono: Wish me luck! (I am quietly confident though...):wack:

I'm so jazzed up! Just sorting out the final details for my summer trip to the US. I planned it around a large annual Zfest. This year it's taking place in Tulsa (Oklahoma). Booked my flights to the US and my internal flights too. I speak to a lot of the guys over on 3ZC (our American chapter). Some I've already met on previous trips out to L.A and San Diego. http://www.midwestzfest.com http://www.midwestzfest.com/events.html There's loads going on and there are set to be cars/owners from across the midwest, and Southwest corner of the US and further afield. Not just that, but I'm flying to San Antonio in Texas to do a roadtrip convoy with some guys fr…

I know its not exactly help and advice but it would be helpful if the tax was lower. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Lowerduty30/

found these under the front of my NA :hyper: anyone know what ones they are?

I have 3 knackered studs, 2 on the front and 1 rear. Need these fixed asap for the MOT so I guess it's a trip to the Nissan dealer for them. I have an import though, so how accommodating will they be? I know other Japanese manufacturers whose dealers will as good as throw you out onto the street at the first mention of import. So, I'm hoping if I can just give them the part number I want and bypass the whole VIN number ordeal. I'm hoping that somebody here can tell me the part numbers that I need.. please :)

Hi guys, only joined this forum today, so forgive me if I've missed a sticky or something on this... I've got my engine out, again, knackered piston (It's a 93 TT, Auto, Jap import BTW) and was wondering if there are any tips for removing the torque converter? Is it really those 4 bolts on the back of the fly wheel? They seem pretty much impossible to get to with a standard spanner or even an angled ring spanner. Is there any easy way to do this? At the moment I've got it sitting on blocks, and taking the cylinder head off today, she fell off, if it wasn't for me and my Dad's lightning reflexes and adrenaline fueled strength, serious damage could've been done! So I'm…

I need to have my ingine out and have a turbo replace because my left bank turbo oil seal has gone so been advised whilst engine is out might ads well replace both turbos at same time. But now im thinking shall i sell ingine and other bits because all good and replace with a v8. anyone done this and are there many problems to overcome?:rolleyes:

My UK Z continues to rust at the rear arches, even after having a full respray and numerous repairs including new metal welded in places. One idea i had is to fit a wide arch kit and zenon rear bumper (zcentre) to my Z as to cover the rust up, I know its not the best way to do things but if the rust is only on the outer arch its not particularly important to have it mint (correct???) As it only looks bad do you think i would get away with covering it with a kit, or would the bubbling paint interfere with the fitting of the kit? Cheers guys

As the title says also how do I check the speed sensor bearing in mind there is no response from the a/t ecu when on consul. I changed the a/t ecu but with no difference. Any advice??

anyone interested in some upgrade conrods. do you think this guy is going to sell these :shock::rofl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Con-Rods-Uprated-Eagle_W0QQitemZ230259266636QQihZ013QQcategoryZ72205QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My strosek Z is going to the bodyshop very soon and i need to decide what to do rear spoiler wise. I have removed the old foam spoiler and quite fancy a 99 spec one but cant decide if it will suit the wide arches? Other options i can think of are lower tailgate skin from z centre. Perspex strip with brake light Both of these would mean no spoiler. Looking for some inspiration!
