Does anyone have a data cable with USB for sale or know anywhere i can get one?? Cheers guys

pressure/volume of water from screenwash is poor on my Jspec TT (1989)- is this typical or is there a way to improve them- have tried cleaning pipes etc with little noticeable improvement- Thanks in anticipation.

I know this subject has been discussed before but I cannot seem to find the thread. Will they fit a 300ZX and what mods need to be carried out to the either the car or the discs.

Spent the last few hours on the Z with TubZ and the conzult. I have attached the results so was hoping if someone could answer a few questions? The idle isn't stable, it goes up and down between about 700-800 constantly - is that a vacuum leak? The left hand O2 sensor show as no reading on idle but blip the throttle quickly and it shows a reading then drops to nothing, if you increase the revs steadily it starts to read then drops to nothing? Any ideas? The power balance test is different every time even when run straight after each other? Any ideas? If any Conzult expert has any other comments based on the readings please let me know, btw the car is a…

If Its Your Car (silver Tt) Then I Got A Nice Pic Of It From A Few Years Ago . Pm Me

Can anybody shed light to where my old car is now? I sold it to a guy in TEALING DUNDEE.

Hope you had a great day and a great evening to come! Happy Birthday! :nana2:

Hi, everyone. Thought I'd just register to keep up to date with the Zs in the hope one day I'll own one again... I own a few cars at the mo so it is unrealistic to get anything else, plus I am off work at the mo. which doesn't help. 2 of the cars I own are 200sxs though lol. I used to own one up until 2003 but never got to run it properly as I was burnt badly :rant: when bought.......... before I knew what to look for in a car!!!! Any way it looked good in the drive......... Maybe some of you have come across it. G632 SRH.

Has anyone got one of these and do they know if they have the average airflow function for 2 signals like the original Apexi AFR?

Just thought I would stick up a couple of comparison pics of a T25 "hybrid" turbo and a Z1 GT675RS

hi guys and girls, hope all is well. ok, i am looking to buy a manual transmission convertible, i can stretch to 9k and i like the look of the 300zx. one of the reasons i likle the zx (apart from it looks great and goes like the proverbial off a shovel...)is the boot space - i want to use this car day to day, and i am a mobile PC engineer so i have a number of tools that i need to carry around, and need to transport 1 or 2 PC's every now and again. thus i need a bit of boot space. so a few questions... 1) i cant seem to find a manual (gearbox) convertible model - do they exist? 2) how practical is this car? 3) anybody got any idea of urban fuel use diff…

Just a bit of a rant and cry for help! I’m very stressed out at the minute with the crappy weather and the fact that my car always seems to be dirty at the moment!! Just wondered if anyone can advise on these points. 1. Rubber Mudflaps – Can I remove these and soak them in anything? 2. Wheels – Whats the best stuff to get stock alloys back to factory like condition? There is no scuffing on them but they are caked in brake fluid and the crap that comes off the road, jet washes just don’t remove it. 3. Stainless Exhaust - How can I get this shining again? Seriously debating on putting her into storage next year as I seem to be washing every couple of days…

Hi The 18 year old wires on the gearbox snapped when removing the gearbox.. Anyone know where I can get those wires that come out of the gearbox?

starting to get a bit of vibration thru the car over 50mph, How do i replace the centre bearing on the prop shaft? what needs removing? exhaust? heat shields? ????? Thanks guys.

When all the interior comes out soon. Kinda thinking about putting in some interior courtesy door lights. IE, when you open the door, they come on with the interior light. Anyone done this? Gotta be quite an easy job? I have some from a Cavalier GSi (not the ones below) which look really nice. They also have a very fine rubber surround to the base of them too, so should look really neat and factory fit.

Very nice...

been trying to ring them and number not recognised !? :confused:
