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

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?

ok i,m getting a strange noise only when on boost it sounds a bit like a loud resonating sound or if you say who in a loud deep voice , it only happens when boosting so doubt it the zaust rubbing on something and only lasts a few secs then goes away and doesnt do it in safety boost any ideas

Q: Looking at the odd facial expressions, what has Slick Pete just said to my girlfriend? BTW, for the likes of Andyduff, Pete mentioned how much he loved having himself p'shopped! :rofl:

ok here's yet another ambiguous 'theres something not quite right with my Z' threads from my collection :rofl: recently there's been 3 different noises, all linked, coming from the old girl: upon accelleration and boost, there's a feint rapid plastic'y farting sound coming from directly behind the steering wheel. i have a Profec installed near there, tho i know its not the noise that makes when holding boost (sounds fairly similar tho). and during overrun, theres the same noise but much louder coming from the zorst, followed by a whistling sound like a stone's caught in the brakes (tho im not braking!). the car has also lost some power. a virtual :smw: to the …
