Need to change reaer barke disks and pads, not done them b4 on the zed, 93 jap import, how do i get pistons back? is it rewind tool or normal piston pusher? and is there anything i should watch out for, cos am aware that some jap cars are notoriously difficult to do. Second, just bought all singing and dancing stereo, sat nav touch screen etc but is double din and there are 2 single din slots, 1 for cd player, 1 for cubby hole - is there a conversion fascia for this or anyone got any ideas? Cheers

Along with my other hobby of sitting alone in the dark, I ponder about 300zx's sometimes :D Anyway what would be involved and could it work, with automatic boxes?

I just thaught I'd introduce myself. I had a 1991 Jap TT manual two years ago and it was a bit of a nail, it gave me nothing but trouble, when i sold it I swore I'd never have one again... ...I'm 20 now and have just baught Z number 2, a black 1990 Jap TT manual, I'v had her just over a week. Its got 49,500 miles on the clock and runs incredibly well, sounds perfect and theres no smoke at all. Now for the funny part, in this first week I'v already had to replace the clutch and sort a misfire that it developed (easy job - bad connection on a coil pack). Also the cat was rattling quite loud so I'v got rid of it and had two nice straight through pipes put on. …

Does anybody know if the JSpec foglight internal reflectors are interchangeable from left to right and vice versa ? My left fog light reflector has become a little dull, tarnished or it could even be rusty. I have a spare right side foglight and was wondering if I could fit this in the left side. If not is there anything I could paint it with or any other suggestions ? CheerZ Paul

I don't seem to have a relay in this slot (Big fuse box in engine bay). Does anyone know what a "Sub Fan" is and do you have a relay in there ?

What do you reccon, performance wise, looks like it wll be far superior to the 350z. Preview of the 370z

Dose anybody know tyre pressures(p.s.i or bar) for 235.45.17 front and 255.40.17 rear. Have checked hand book and on car,cant find.

are these any good and how would you fit them to twin turbos just thought it might be a good idea to keep an eye on fueling

In Highbridge, Somerset. A silver later series car at around lunchtime today.

Yesterday (17th May) Green 300ZX going past the church in bristol, wick in the evening i was in the red s13 200SX parked up :)

If i remove the cat on my 1992 UK TT Z and put two sport backboxes on will it reduce the life of the turbos?

I have been told that I should run in for 500 miles. Keeping it under 3k rpm. Then an oil change at 500 miles. Then increase the rev range by 1k rpm every 10 - 15 miles. It's been mentioned that engines should be run in differently and I would like to hear from those that have run engines in and the reason you did it that way. Just for refernece the engine build on mine: Has been rebored to 3.1, It has weisco forged pistons, JWT530bb turbo's, Nismo 555 injectors, Greg Dupree Downpipes, Greg Dupree Manifolds, Greg Dupree Flexi pipes, Under plenum by pass, ERG removal and blanking, RPS Max clutch, Billet Flywheel, Single carbon fibre Driv…

Think I Have Watched Them All Over That Last Month And Cant Remember Seeing Any, Maybe Me As Im Not The Best At Spotting Kitted Cars But Just Seems Weird As Almost Every Car On The Film Seems To Be A Kitted Old Jap.

missed the recent poll on zed owners age etc : i must be the old man of the club ? 69 in august owned and still have a 94 auto uk for the last 8 years also own and drive daily , a very sorted 91 jap manual in silver complete front to rear body kit , plus many many engine and transmisson mods my kids and their kids call me the old boy racer , any one know of any other O.A.P owner

saw a red / burgundy zed on the M3 at around 12pm heading southbound near hook.... anyone on here! Don't think it had a spoiler, and think it had what looked like 99 spec light thingy's :D But you know me.... by the time I notice it was a zed... it was gone :D Who was it :D

APEXi AFC, Air Flow Converter "Universal" Are these anygood, what sort of set up are they for??

Had a little race with a BMW earlier (had the goodf badge on the front), well, wouldn't call it a race, more like an Anilation (pissed so cant spell) Could tell he was a barry boy as he had his angel eyes one and his crappy blue side lights. He was sitting behind me wan we both floored it passed a slow car, on a straight road half way down the road I was slamming on the brakes and he didnt come close, first time I found some one to play with:dance: Not bad as I'm still restricted! One thing I have noticed though, If I floor it big time and change gear it crunches. Any ideas?

Just thought it may be an idea to get a list of what turbos fit without altering the chassis/inner wing and if they did need modification how much? I'll start off the list Fit without modding? Stock :D GT25R GT28R PE1420 Greddy TD05-16G with greddy manifolds GT28RS with .64 exhaust housing IIRC?

On Dave +1 the Z show witht the Z club. Now. Darrell
