My new 8 pot calipers!! I have a set of front calipers from k-sport and they are mauve in colour and my rears are yellow! Do i paint the 8 pots yellow or does any body know were i could get the colour matched to the new calipers [must be suitable for metal] Cannot afford a set of matched rears at presant

Just popped into Aldi for some shopping and they have car first aid kits on offer today. Picked one up and to my surprise they have an outline image of the Z32 embossed on the front!!! :dance: SWB N/A Slicktop to be precise, the have them in red or green pouch £5.99

Does anyone remember whether the fluorescent display inside the climate control pod has its own display drive circuitry or if it's part of the climate control ECU near the heater matrix? Mine has gone very dull and there's no point in me changing the pod if the fault is inside the ECU itself. Cheers.

Does anyone know how to tell an original greddy from a fake apart from the logo on the silicone hoses? Are greddy intercoolers stamped like koyo rads? Cheers for any help in advance! Andy

Got some rims which are being refurbished as we speak, should be back with me in about 10 days. I'm going to shod them with 4 new treads but what sizes to go for? Rims are all 17" - Fronts 8J and the Rears 9.5J Currently the Rears have 255/40/17 Fronts have 235/45/17 However what's the ideal tyre size to go on them? I have standard Jspec rims at the moment with what I believe to be the correct tyre sizes 225/50/16). I am guessing that the speedo is calibrated to this so I should get as close a match as possible on a tyre calculator thing. cheers jay

I have been making enquiries about a custom ECU for the zed and the company have asked about the trigger wheel, they want to know the number of teeth and missing teeth -any ideas anyone :confused:

I have noticed that there is a feedback counter on our posts. How does one access this feature please?

Had a bad day at work, went for a nice a drive in the Zed, tops off, plenty of fuel to play with and just me and my lady (fair that is) After a while of a bit of playing, started to look at other cars, and have decided, that the 300zx is a seriously sexy car, not just the power, but the shape and smoothness of it, and what it has to offer. other cars dont come close, fine keep your Italian red ones, or german stuff, but there is nothing that turns heads by people who are the not knowing or these animals. They are gorgeous:bow:

Can anyone give me a step by step guide to how to replace these? Ive got some replacement glass (thanks yampie) just wanna gauge how hard this will be to do? Cheers guys Pete

I never got to the bottom of this years ago and now it's doing me head in, I have done a search and come up with these http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=58129&highlight=window+rattle http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1172&highlight=window+rattle All nuts/bolts and screws are tight yet I still get the rattle, has anyone cured this with it not being a loose nut or bolt ? In the second thread, how do you "adjust the window guide-rail" ? CheerZ Paul

Hi All, As part of my rebuild i know im going to need a better fuel pump to cope with the mods im doing. I have a walbro 255ltr at the mo will that be enough? If not does anyone know what would be better brand and size? Thanx P.S I have a link to my mods below if that helps.

has anyone local to hertfordshire have a front hub set up that i can borrow to measure my new brake bracket set up on . need hub and the part the caliper fixes too

All thats left now is a spray job and then its up for sale ( i think ) it is running a JD chip, 14 psi and pulls really well and feels fantastic so it was worth it after all ! Will try and get a little vid of it but you will see it on the track at japfest ! :bow::bow::bow:

All my lights have packed up, except for the hi-beam mains!!!:headvswal Ive tried to check the fuses under the bonnet but they're big boxy things, not the car fuses I'm used to.:confused: Anyone got any ideas???:bow:

Hi all, i just wanna say a big thanks to everyone for thier kind words in welcoming me as the new R.E.O for the northeast and north yorkshire, i'm really happy to be taking over from such a nice bloke (big kim :bow::bow:) as you may or may not know he has a few health issues and has had to step down, thankfuly he is still the national meets orginisor and i'm sure i can get some pretty good meets together even though it takes members to actually turn up :x:, but again many thanks to everyone, all the best, Chris (aka snowygt)

Just got a Blitz SBC I-Colour :dance: And it looks rather complex, lol. I have a manual for it but was asking if anyone has fitted one and could give some pointers? I'm guessing fitting the EBC's valve is fairly straight forward, i just plumb it into the existing system. Where do i pick up the speed and RPM signals from to attach my wires to? ? I also have an oil pressure sensor and water temp sensor, Both are metal and have a thread but don't want to be drilling and tapping my engine!! are there any places to fit them ?? This is the box of bits!!

can anyone help me find some bigger front discs. i'm currently looking at fitting some EVO8 calipers but i want bigger discs i know i can fit skyline 324mm discs with brackets but i'm looking for some disc around the 343mm dia does anyone know what cars would have this as a standard size that would fit on a 300 front hub

when i bought my z the guy gave me decat pipes there new and he said he hadnt time to fit them so ive got them here in me garage and i just wondered would they do damage to the turbos if they were fitted ? a guy @ work said they could fu+k up the seals or something like that , the car is running 100% as is ,,,,,, oh and can anyone tell me what grade of erine oil gos into it also ?? thanks

I've always had a soft spot for the wide arch stroseks. To those that have them.......where did you get it done, and how much did it set you back? I seen the black SWB with the strosek on it that came up for sale a few months ago and decided i wanted the kit on mine!!!!
