Hi, I have been looking through the old threads and i have found a similiar query to this except for a couple of bits which makes me think it might be something else. The A/C has never worked well in the 3 years i have had the car, but recently it has started to leak into the footwells and when the tempreture is turned up smoke appears in the car. It does however stop again when turned down but there does seem to be a constant leaking into both footwells. If anyone could provide some assistence as to any causes for this or what work i might need doing and its likely cost, i would be grateful. Cheers

Castle combe Race circuit in Wiltshite are holding a Performance car action Event on April 19th. We are having a 300zx.co.uk Club stand and there are Track sessions available. Castle combe is located near the South West/South central border not far from the M4 motorway. Should be a good day out, with many other clubs attending and plenty of Trade stands, wether your after some track action or would prefer to spectate. A kind of japfest event....but errr not just Jap cars :D http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=106559

are there any factory markings on or around the prop to ensure that the propshaft is re-fitted back in its 'balanced' position? when my prop was disconnected it was not witness marked so i have no idea what position it should go back in... atm the vibration feels like an overclocked rampant rabbit!

Driving today and every time i slowed down to stop the battery light would slowly get brighter, it would light up completly at idle but go out if i revved it a little but still light up as soon as the revvs dropped. It's a new battery so whats up?

Started stripping the car today to fit all the shiny stuff i've been collecting for over a year.When i got the bumper off and rad out i found loads of other little jobs that needed doing like tidying wiring up, old brackets for the oem bumper that are no longer needed and general other jobs that you can't do with the bumper on, and i decided to polish the water pipes and fit a new water pump while every things stripped.So all in all a 2 day job has turned in to a week but i thought i might as well do it right then hopefully i won't have to take the bumper off again. ;) I am very impressed with my new rad too it's huge. :D

I´ve just got the news that it might be possible I will get transfered back to the states sometime this summer or end of it; my Z is beautiful and stunning and I would really hate to get rid of it, I would like to know if anyone here has ever shipped a car back from Europe to the states private, I assume I would have to deal with first a carrier who will ship it by boat..then once back there with DOT and EPA? for emissions test etc.. honestly I am totally lost right now and most important what would it cost me to get my Z driven back in the states? I heard many folks tell me it´s best to get rid of it and buy a new one back there..but this one is so stunning new..hard to …

Hi guys could anyone tell me if a strut brace for an n/a zx would fit a TT as under the bonnet they both look very similar Jim

I have been hunting through the many pages of E Bay and other ICE suppliers for a decent set up in my Beemer. The head unit I have eventually gone for is the Pioneer DEH-P65BT . 50w X 4 and and direct sub drive. It does everything I want including bluetooth for hands free and streaming. Plus you can change the colour to suit the interior lighting . My question is this: My obvious choice of speakers and sub (active) is Pioneer because logically they should work well together? Has anyone got any doubts about pioneer speakers and subs? I have seen so many different makes its like a nightmare trying to keep up. What would be your choice? spending on speakers and sub (ac…

Hi All Im having a few problems deciding what turbo to go for out of the two. I know there isnt much difference between them but im hoping some of you will have your own views on which is best to buy. As my knowledge isnt the best when it comes to turbo's :cry: JWT 530BB also known as Garrett GT2554R Z1 GT600R also known as Garrett GT2860R Regards Dan

As anyone bought and new studs for the front wheels and if so do you remember the pitch of the studs

Ok, i've mentioned that i'm having major traction issues with the power it's now running. I've looked at the used alloys i bought and to my surprise they are 10's on the rear which i can't believe as they are currently runnig 255's so luckly i will get a decent grip with the right tyres The fronts are 17x8jj and the rears 17x10jj which are pretty big and currently have 255's on them. Not many manufactures make tyres over 265 for a 17" and i need as much traction as possible. Toyo go upto 265/40/17 Verdestein Ultrac 275/40/17 and a cheaper option Falken FK452 275/40/17 Kumho ECSTA Sport 285/40/17 cheaper than all above. Initially i would go …

Been thinking about this for some time. I know what I'm goign to do, just interested in what you guys think.
