Hi Everyone, A mate of mine got pulled over today after a car show because his number plates were invalid. He basically still has his show plates on with his name on them and forgot to change them before he left. What can happen for this?

Hi all, i need a bit of help from anybody that may have information in regards to my missing Targa Roof Panels. Basically my car was resprayed in Honda Pirate Black, but somewhere along the line my Targa Panels are now Std Nissan Metallic Black.

If you have purchased a set in the past 18 months or know somebody that has, that match this description please can you let me know. Please only reply if you have information or PM me. Thanks in advance Marcus

Excellent day out today! Started out wet and dried out after lunch. Thanks to Mike for arranging this and Bullet for pushing me into some fast laps. The 300's definitly held their own in a very mixed group of cars. Loads of pics taken, here's a few -

Hi everyone, One of my front brake calipers has seized, and I was wondering what the best course of action would be. I have seen some threads saying the refurb kits do the job. Would I be better off trying to source some GTR calipers? My disks apear to be ok and to be honest I dont really have the cash to do a full conversion at the moment. Thanks in advance for your comments

Hello all, Well, I just picked up my first Zed (import TT manual) and I'm starting to learn about the usual faults... I get the feeling of the rear stepping out to the right when I come off the gas pedal (driving in a straight line), which creates a little wobble. Feels a bit disconcerting to say the least. From searching on here it seems like the HICAS ball joints often wear, but I jacked the rear up (one side at a time) and there doesn't seem to be any noticeable play in the wheels left to right. The rear shocks were replaced not long ago, and the tyre pressures are OK. What else could cause the wobble, or could it still be the HICAS arms even without noticabl…

Hi guys, thought I would share my efforts and get your opinions on the clear third brake light. I saw a guy talking about it on the Amercian site and I thought I would give it a go. This is a prototype but it works and I'll leave it on the car for now. I plan on using different LEDs in the final one. Old New New - brakes on Let me know what you think. I think it suits the silver Zed but maybe not dark coloured ones. Tony from Oz :cool:

Hi Got my exhaust system upgraded today. Stainless Steel Mongoose Cat Back system. BIG Thanks to Jeff and Jamie. Wow.. doesn't the engine spin more freely ! When the old exhaust was taken off we discovered it was the originally fitted exhaust from Japan and Jeff showed me something that may be of interest to other owners of newly imported cars, or Jap cars with the original still in place after a year or two of UK winter salt ! The Cat Back part of the exhaust is restricted as far back as the first box. The exterior tube diameter is significantly wider than the inside of the pipe and this is apparently a way of restricting power in Japan. The down side is n…

Well as you can see it dont look to bad, although am not touching it due to the legalities in its selling if peeps read my previous posts on this. Now everytime I look at it I wanna tinker and work out prices. So I am constantly in 2 minds do I start on it or do I take this guy who sold me it to court to get my money back. Well anyways there it is for nowm untouched in all its all so radiant essence lol.

MY son Matt will be of legal driving age in a few months. So i thought i would let him try the zed out. So of we go to my work,(which is a large open space of un used land, private property After a while he works out the bitting point and after turning left and right for a bit, he floors it, back wheels zoom and he is off. christ he cant even drive, but sure knows how to drift a bit. I grab the the hand brake and say thats enough. Fook i lost a few pounds lol

my brakes are squeaking quite loud, anyone know why? i know my car has been off the road for some time but i thought the noise would've disappeared after a bit of driving but it hasn't. I changed the pads probably less than 1000 miles ago and they didn't make any noise before the car went off the road. also.... my exhausts smoke thick white smoke when i start the car from cold for about 5-10 mins... daily... then goes away, never smoked before but does it each time now since my has been back on the road? help??
