just had an email confirming my new Marangoni Mythos Tyres will be delivered on Thursday, I've got 225/35/18 and 265/35/18 for the back. Means I can fit my ADR wheels which have been patiently waiting in the garage since last August :hyper: I will post some pics soon!

are there any good links WITH pictures that can help me do this? is it quite easy as i dont really like messin around with this car, i'd rather get it done properly but if i can save the money then i will, many thanks in advance, Chris.

Can someone tell me how to change the oil and oil filter? Thanks!

Cracked my stock front bumper today at the bottom on a kerb :-( Anyone know how to repair it? There is a crack about 3 inches long.

The goodridge hoese i bought dont have the metal nuts on the hoses to clip onto the brackets on the car. The ends are fine and fit ok on the caliper and the other end, but if they dont have those nuts on the hose they will fray on the metal??? am i wrong? Otherwise il fit them and risk it. I just want to make sure im correct. Are UK and jap hoses different? has anyone had this problem? im quite annoyed as i waited a good 3 weeks for them to arrive :(

The Hose that goes to the actuater, that you use to install a boost controller, is it 6mm or 8mm house

Might be a daft question but is it much of a job to change the rad on my 1996 jdm NA for a TT one?? :confused:

A very unusual front bumper on this ebay zed.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-twin-turbo_W0QQitemZ110234633332QQihZ001QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi every one i just wonder if anyone knows where can i buy a bonnet/hood like jason farrow one? thanks for your time.

how to explain this now: looking into the engine bay from the front, on the left hand side , mounted on the inside arch is a small black plastic box looking thing with a hose running from it: A: What is it ? B: is it supposed to rattle and sound like there's a loose spring in it when you tap on it lightly ? :)

As you may know i'm having troubles with my current setup, i'm hoping that my turbos are fine and it's something else causing the issue. Seeing as we have a good rate to the dollar at the mo i'm looking at some other turbos just incase mine are not suitable. I was looking at a JWT turbo kit but Z1 have took the JWT kit and improved on it. I'm after something which can produce allot of power but not too laggy, best comprisation of the two. my current setup GT65RS GT725R I may be getting ahead of myself and keeping my fingers crossed my current turbos will be suitable but just planning ahead so i'm not in the dark

The Z is needing a respray and I'm trying to decide on a possible colour change. Been thinking about going a crazy orange after watching the Zonda on a Top Gear repeat yesterday. Also absolutely love this Lambo colour but I don't fancy ordering paint from them LOL Does anyone know what cars use something similar so I can price up the options? I'm not sure if the Focus ST orange is quite as vivid and metallic as I'd like but I might call in and have a look at a dealer if I can find one. Can't say I've ever seen an orange Z other than this one in Thailand that I've always loved: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224298 …
