Does anyone happen to know the spec for the 2fast2cool rear camber arm rose joints? need the thread size thread direction and joint bore. Ive seen a shop on ebay who sell only rose joints they look high quality and they have whichever size you need. I want to replace the ones at the mo as they are too small and will probably develope alot of play in the future as i have to keep greasing them.. check this lot out. http://search.stores.ebay.co.uk/Mc-Gill-Motorsports_rose-joints_W0QQfciZQ2d1QQfclZ4QQfsnZMcQ20GillQ20MotorsportsQQfsooZ1QQfsopZ3QQsaselZ222097034QQsofpZ0

Recently (OK about a year ago LOL) I removed a mechanical oil pressure gauge and fitted and electronic one. Can I use the mechanical gauge to monitor fuel pressure ? I have no idea what the fuel pressure is but I think the mechanical gauge goes up to 100PSI. Could I fit under the bonnet somewhere and what would be involved ? CheerZ Paul

ocasionally when car in neutral or park the car idles at 1500rpm but when into drive it idles normally. This is only occasionally, normally it idles fine in all gears?

Got a stock oil pressure guage in my na. Sometimes it reads 30 when driving sensibly and goes upto 60 (middle) when gunning it. Then sometimes it drives, idles, at 10 psi and then goes to 30 when gunning it? Drives great though? Any ideas?

I used to see a red zed airport side of the city most week days late afternoon, but now it has gone:cry: was it you and whats happened to you ?:( I have only joined this forum to see if i can find out anything about it, you don't see many zeds in norwich. anybody know anything?

Just ordered some 235/40/18 falken fk-452 from camskill at £76 each. Thought good price and awited delivery. Just found out they have none in stock and it will be 78 weeks till they get some more! :slap: Need them by the end of this week. Noone else seems to have these in stock either. What are my options can i use 225/40 18's? Dont want to fork out over £100 for a tyre if i can help it. Also dont want some other crap makes. Advice?

i stupidly managed to fumble the nail i keep in the ashtray into the open cigar lighter hole. Much sparks and smelly fumes later there appears to be no power to it. I checked the 20A fuse labelled CIG LIGHTER in the drivers footwell and that is fine so has it blown a seperate fuse or done some other damage?? How can i fix it? i find it quite useful for juicing up the mobile now and again.

Can any one assist with the wiring for the neutral swith and such all info and pictures etc would be greatly appreciated guys :)

Does anyone know of a skyline breakers in southampton my bro needs some bits. cheers Jay

Come on guys (and gals) show me some pix of your front calipers (OEM or aftermarket) as I need some ideas:D (pix with and without wheels fitted are both OK) I have an aftermarket set to fit and I'm undecided on colour/decals so need a bit of inspiration from y'all:) What have you got?..................................................................:confused:

I live on a small street with terraced houses and it is parking permit area only. Problem is, gits that are using the high street park here anyway so I have to park on double yellow lines! Is there a way of parking (eg with wheels on full lock) so they cant clamp a car? I heard they can only clamp drivers side, or front wheels?

ok reading this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.raceandroad.com/images/ns-offsetexplained.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.raceandroad.com/offset.asp&h=121&w=96&sz=25&tbnid=47AWcxVrF8gJ:&tbnh=121&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwheel%2Boffset&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image&cd=1 offset is measured in mm. so therefore the wider/narrower the wheel offset being same the wheel position will be different as offset is measured from centre point of wheel positive or negative so what effects will this have ?

I am thinking about buying a set of 18" alloys and have seen a set I like but, like all new alloys (I think) they are all the same width, in this case '8J'. What effect will this have on driving the Zed? What are the widths of the standard Zed UK wheels? Is it possible to buy new alloys with rears wider than fronts? The ones I have seen are 'BSA 359' (I really like the style and the price is good), does anyone know if they are any good? Got any other comments or advice?

Right, the old stereo I had was a JVC double din 2stacker. Wiring isn't a mess, it's very tidy, but I can't make head nor tail of it. I am considering chopping all of it out as I'm running new cables anyway and want to save some space behind, so will put bullet connectors on the new wires and bullet connectors on the ISO loom that comes with my new Alpine head unit. Unfortunately, it looks like this...what's that grey thing? I can't find any reference to it in the manual. So all I'll need is a live feed? Do I need an ignition feed too? What point do I spur this off at? Oh, I also need to earth the headunit out, which is straight forward. The electric areal…

Wife spotted a grey 300zx in Taunton yesterday. She said it had standard looking rear lights, that lit up "round" when they came on :confused: However, despite her being around these cars for 4 or so years now, and even owning one for a year herself....she may be completely mistaken !! :rofl: Last week she told me she had seen one go past us on the motorway as I was joining the slip road but I didn't spot it......so I raced ahead for a good 15 mins at a brisk pace before finally catching up to the.......GTO :slap:

Can anyone recommend what size tubing to use for an exhaust manifold both wall thickness and internal diameter. I don't think it will be stainless so might see if powder coating will cope with temperature.
