After buying the bits from Lisa I've just spent the best part of 4hrs fitting....ONE of them! I think I spent more time cleaning the kitchen than I did fitting the lense! Maybe it was beginners luck but I managed to fit it without damaging the case...too much! Melted a bulb holder at the back but will hopefully sort something out for that! Anyway...my question for the Zed forum is this: what is the best way to get all that black gunk off?? Its all over my nice new light and there must be an easier way than a sponge and elbow grease??

If anyone is running suitable monitoring equipment just want to know what your alternator is putting out and peaking at?

Well the last bits have arrived. Tubular manifolds (pentroof copies) 2x AEM Eugo Gauges and sensors A Pillar gauge pod with 1x60mm and 2x 50mm holes. And all i can say is the quality of the manifolds surpasses any thing i expected.

finally got my Z back on the road after 3 months! all running sweet when the car is warm but when its cold there is a bit of a ticking noise which i believe to be the manifold. the really nasty noise starts when i start driving. anything between 2k - 3.5k there is a really nasty screeching sound. dosnt sound like a belt slipping and only does it when its moving, in any gear. its quite a loud sound. also the car feels down on power. im used to driving a fiat coupe turbo with 220bhp so i expected a modded 300zx to feel at least sliiightly faster but it just dosnt. it has full decat, 360 degree turbos, jwt chip @ 14psi, blitz induction kit. i havnt bee…

Someone wants my car in Alberta wherever that is. I would imagine this involves me in shipping the car abroad then waiting for the money to come through some dodgy agency like western union money transfer. I think not LOL

Hello all, With the great increase in petrol and road tax it is with sad news that I must take the ZX off the road. The Mrs has agreed that I can keep the car but we must buy a :( diesel :( car. So... I am going to keep the Z and use it as a track day car. A few questions popped into my head:- 1) If I SORN the car, as I will be at end of April can I still use the car on track day events (I will be getting a road trailer for it) 2) What things do I need to do to it to make the car safe? 3) What things can I do to it to make it faster? 4) What about insurance? 5) Where can I race her? Thanks in advance ZX_Steve PS There may be at some ti…

I bought some parts from Pete today and they were 100% spot on and I would like to thank him for sending them out to me. A very trustworthy guy and a pleasure to deal with its a shame there is not a few more like him when you read some of the complaints we get from members when they buy parts it can be quite shocking at times.

as header are silver/chrome indicator bulbs ok for mot able? might just get some

What do you think mate? :D

Hi All, Does anyone know if i would have to take the powder coating off my calipers to powder coat them again a different colour :confused: Plus has anyone got a rough idea how much it would cost? Thanx

Ok today i fitted my powertrix tension rods and all was jolly.... the last of my suspenison mods are done, so it was time to take the zed to nexus for my rebuild woohooo. I arrive there just outside and say high to scott, "HI" I atempt to park the car and throw it in reverse but :eek: NOPE :headvswal doesnt wanna go in reverse now:( bugger.. scott says he will have a look at the box when its out, but we both know its buggered. So now im on the look out for a used manual box. I was a bit shocked and confused as ive not had any probs with reverse before and this was a first. all other gears are fine..... Its a bit strange isnt it? Anyways the show must …

I have just finished fitting a new cam belt/water pump etc and when I started it up it sounds as though it is misfiring. When I checked the exhausts there was more pressure from the drivers side exhaust that the passanger side. No smoke or anything. I am going to put some new spark plugs on it to see if that is the problem but has anyone else got any ideas why it might be running rough. It was running fine before I did the cam belt.

could this be something for any of you guys? http://www.efi101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3098 contact "efiguy" if it is. as stated in the thread. an NA car is preferable but a car with a small turbo could work as well. so it would meen; not a really high power car but still with an aftermarket ecu.... i know. a rare combination in the z32 world, but hey! worth a try.

Finally got the alarm sorted, new fuses etc. just put the battery back on after nearly 8 month an started first time:eek: all cylinders working at first then when warm up a bit went back to 5:rant:. so have come to the conclusion that the wiring on 5 cylinder (driverside rear) expands when getting warm causing no spark. all ready fitted new spark plugs, coilpack,coilpack connecter,series 2 ptu. ran it for a few minutes before the cylinder dropped off an there was a bit off smoke coming up from the passenger side down around turbo area am assuming this is because zed has been stood for so long:confused: all help greatly appreciated trying to get it bac…
