Hi can anyone tell me if the starter is the same on all models? I have an NA manual that needs a starter and most likely a flywheel/ring-gear. Due to lack of cash at the moment it will be second hand spares, just wondering what fits what. I would assume auto flywheels are different, but what about the starter? Thanks for any help in advance.

Anyone fitted these before. I need to know a few things to see if I'm being strung up once again. With the manifolds do the bolts need to be shortened or do they fit straight on ?. Do the JWT530bb's fit straight on without hitting the block or do you need to modify something for them to fit. I'm using HKS actuators with them if that helps. ? The Nismo 555's, do they come with seals or do you need to order them seperate ?. Or do they come with the complete engine bebuild gasket set.

Front and rear speakers. Where best to get replacements from?

Hi guys My car is currently at bodywork plus have a custom bodykit fitted. engine performance about 450 bhp. plan on fitting 19" 3 piece trafficstar wheels. Due to increased performance and size of wheels, standard brakes will look lost. i originally planned on fitting Hi-spec motorsport monster 6 360mm Diameter brakes on front and 330mm on rear. But, at the bodyshop there is another car being moded, which already has hi-spec brakes on. The guys at the bodyshop said they are poor quality! That under hard braking the calipers open, and feel soft. they said i should fit AP. Can anyone tell me if they have any experience with Hi-spec brakes. The ki…

Not a problem any more just chuffed its fixed! Posting here in case anyone else has this prob! On tight bends and roundabouts, my car when getting straight just revved until it "caught" a gear!! Took it to Ceejay at Z Autos today and had some ATF put in (as was bone dry but didnt realise) and now it is perfect, no more revving or slipping and perfect seamless gear changes! Thanks again bud! :-)

can someone please clarify if the indicator flashing bulbs in the dash is the same as the other dash bulbs please? many thanks Nick

Hi I have got an aftermarket oil cooler to fit to my car. I am then going to use the original one for the auto box. Question is, is it ok to just strap the new oil cooler to the radiator or will it be best to make some sort of bracket for it? Can you buy brackets for them i think its a Mocal oil cooler? Thanks Paul

Guys, Got real issues with the headlights at the mo, looks like its gone into some safety mode and only the square lights come on very dimly. I have an electrician working on it at the mo and he wants to find the dip dim relay box, which ive just found out is in the passenger wing (mine is UK 1991). 1) Does anyone know how hard this is to get to and does it involve taking the wing off? 2) Once all the wiring is sorted, im having them install an HID kit, but ive read that this dip dim relay thing should be disabled to stop the HID's cutting out when you switch to full beam or flash someone. Does anyone have a link/guide on what needs to be done there? …

Hi all, Just in case some of you don't frequent the Traders Section of the Forum, we are fast approaching the final 5 days of the Series 2 PTU Group Buy. It closes on January 31st and so far we've got 7 confirmed orders. This means that the price - including import duty/vat/delivery - currently stands at £135! Compare that with a normal RRP of over £155!! You're getting a great bargain. If interested please look at the following link: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=105640 Please let me know if you have any questions but please do it in the thread in the Group Buy Section - not here as this thread is likely to get lost amongst all the o…

I have a slight steering judder which is pronounced under light braking, but the disc's are defo not warpped. Is this likely to be the front Tie rods? also i have a slight leak on the bottom banjo of the power steering and I let the fluid get a bit too low and now even after topping it up it is still groaning and until the car has been running for 20 or more seconds the steering will kick back and not move the full rotation. IS this an air lock?

My garage was broken into while I was out in Iraq. They made off with this set of AVS alloys (18x9j) and my GSXR750 before setting fire to the garage with my GPZ600R still in it. So if you are offered these alloys or you see them on ebay please pm me. The GPZ600R The gixxer was found a couple of days ago in a field in Abernethey minus its purple colored Scorpion race can so keep your eyes open for that too. What a wonderful Xmas pressent from the scum in Perth :mac1:
