I'm finally going to fit my AMS radiator at the weekend and was thinking of converting from the Spitfire prop to an electric fan.What sort of Cfm will i need to keep the Zed cool? I'm thinking also about running without the rad cowl as i have no under tray and have a vented carbon bonnet. http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_15&products_id=2454&osCsid=51728d558e4a99f76cda053db1b8e99d Also will i need an expansion bottle ?

dunk300zxtt (very nice guy) has just been helping me fit some UK clocks only to find his are series 1 and mine are series 2. I have done a search and can see people have done the conversion, but no write up to say how it's done. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi... I know its been covered loads before and I have used the search engine. Just need to check a few things 1st. 1) Am I right in thinking that the t-piece goes into the vaccum hose on the drivers side of the balancing bar? There appears to be 2 hoses here. Which one goes to the black box for original boost gauge, is it the top or bottom one? 2) Wheres the best place to wire the electric feed to the gauge? My mate has said to wire it into the stereo. Is there a better place? Thanks

Has any peeps here know anybody sucsessfull in claiming compensation from their local council for damaged suspension to their cars? In the space of 6 months - or less, both my rear shocks are gone, my front NS link arm is creaking like mad and just today my front OS wheel has developed a noise equal to the revolution of the wheel, noticed straight after rolling off a monster one near my home - it now feel like i have square wheels! I am totally seething with red mist now and I am 100% going to persue this even if it costs me more money to do so, any advice from anyone having been down this (bumpy) road please let me know... Thanks in advance all Pet…

any idea what the thread size is on the oil filter cheers si

Hi is any body using a 40 rear and a 45 front profile tyres on a 18" rim .I know people normaly fit 35 and 40 but i want to give the car a bit more ground clearance without adjusting the coilovers .I was thinking a 235x45x18 front on a 9"rim and a 255x40x18 on the rear on a 9 " rim .thanks taff.

was looking at the wiki entry for the 300zx (sad i know)...anyways some fella was on the discussion page saying his z31 was front wheel drive...! that said there is some interesting bits on there i never knew...however i cant see too many uk bits on there maybe some of our finest most knowledgeable members could add or edit the wiki..! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_300ZX

With some of these big turbos spooling higher up the rev range, what would be involved in raising the redline to 8k rpm? What is it that actually limits the max rpm? is it the strength of the rods or is the limit somewhere else?

I had a remote start fitted in December, nothing special, just an ebay job. Not this only seems to work half the time and don’t know how to adjust the crank time? I think it has something to do with operating temperature, as it works 100% of the time when engine is warm or the temperature outside is high? Any thoughts?

What are we saying with this kinda spray job??? just a paint edit at the mo. Was thinking not such a straght black but a matt black?? you have to kinda squint when you look at it, if ya get my drift.... just an idea.

Hello Nick Good to see you back on the forum. I see you are still a post whore with over 10 posts a day still. Darrell

Peeps, Ive been looking around at brake upgrades, brembos and alike, which is all well and good. But it got me thinking..... Why are zed brakes so poor? What is the design flaw in them that makes them so ineffective in comparison the zed's rivals? Now is it that they are just getting old and the calipers could do with a re-build and the brake system needs emptying and renewing? Because looking at the face value of things, they got 4 pot calipers with a reasonable size discs, and yet some how my mates legacy could outbrake my old zed and he only had 2 pots and pissy little discs! So can anyone give a technical reason into why the brake setup is soo…

Im afraid my clutch has just started slipping on my 96 jap manual NA. Looked on internet and baffled by choice from paddle to organic!!! just wondered what I should be paying for a decent clutch.

Hi folks i've been holding out, but I have financial problems so my little honey has to go. http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=911337 I'm not advertising it here for a couple of reasons, no.1 being you guys will try and talk me out of it :D no.2 is my location , OK i'm only across the water but I am hoping i will get more for it from an Irish buyer. I know you guys are having it tough with resale prices over there, as you can see my asking price is 10.5K euro which is negotiable. I spent 3K last year alone on it. I don't intend selling it for buttons. There's a few minor things needing attention, it was my plan to take it off the…

These seem to be getting extremely rare these days. I imagine plenty of previous owners hold onto them when they sell on their cars.
