right, i have aquired a strosek front bumper and would like your opinions as to what front lights can be fitted into these. i know as standard its mazda ones. what i want to know is, is there any others that can be fitted with the same contour as the bumper ?.

I recently bought a leather handbrake gaitor from ebay and really pleased with how it looks, italian leather, nice and soft and smells great. Just on the offchance, i phoned the guy for a centre console armrest cover, he did them but needed a template for the z32 lid, so i sent him mine and he has done it for free, as he needed a template. Its double stitched and looks the biz, its up on ebay now if anyone is interested, really cheap.... dont be put off by the low price tho, it is top quality. :cool:

question in title, if it does fit does anyone know how it will sit on the car? whether it will stick out or in too much...? thanks people

Saw you on the A316 between London Rd roundabout and Whitton road roundabout at 4pm-ish, whilst riding through the traffic on my 'Blade. Dude, you seriously need to wash your car!!!!!! :shock:

Anyone on here got a nearside front fog/side light unit for sale for a Jap spec. Mine's cracked and not working. Cheers

Was just heading past Ruislip station towards the A40 and 13:00 and saw Red UK spec with a large spoiler. Driver had fair hair. GiantSlayer...was that you again? Had a J in the number plate and looked like a private plate (maybe). Looked over but didn't see me!

I can't remember ever seeing one. If so, who here has one?

Just a quick question. At the moment im having my engine changed. First question is, how many people changed their wiring loom when the took the engine out. The second question is can the loom be changed with the engine in. Just in case there are any electrical gremlins after the change. Is it worth changing. What do you think?? Cheers ;)

I'll be getting my car back soon (thanks to Mr Duff) with refurbed standard turbo's, rebuilt engine with 88mm pistons, underdrive pulley, decatted, profec b etc etc. I'm hoping to run the car at 1bar of boost - would I see any benefit in fitting larger SMIC's, specifically the Z1 units. I notice "Steve-300ZX" has uprated his intercoolers and acheived extremely good bhp figures. What do you think?

Well here comes what`s becoming my annual whinge about garage prices where I live ! Last week had MOT costing £50 Failed on track rod end and front tyre , (Result , I thought ) Today , I supplied the tyre and TR End ( Thanks john300zx ) Charges : Labour To fit Track rod end : £126 To fit tyre : £ 35 !! Valve and balance , Tyre disposal , " Environment " and " Sundries " (WTF ? ) : £ 23 So , with VAT , bearing in mind I supplied the parts , the total was : £216 Am I mean ? Does that sound reasonable ? Bearing in mind West London . Opinions welcome .

anyone tried to fit a Z bonnet in a vectra hatchback?

The previous owner of my z replaced the heater matrix. The climate control only comes out hot is it possible that he did something wrong when replacing the matrix? i checked the sensors under the steering and they seem fine. but there are some blue connectors coming out the air/con ecu could this be the prob?

Hello Peeps Seen this SWB N/A manual on Piston heads does anyone know it? The owner has said that it was owned by a former club member. SWB on Pistonheads It looks very nice was going to go up over the weekend from Bognor (305 miles) then he tells me the heater matrix has been disconnected. He said it was done by the previous owner but doesnt know why. I have been assured that the air con still works, is this possible with the heater matrix disconnected? Also would anyone know what kind of cost may be involved in getting that sorted either a new matrix or just connecting pipes. Any help and asap (with the short time span) would be most appre…

Hi, Is the best way of fixing a new fibreglass rear spoiler to bond it, say with Sikaflex? Thanks Vijay

I had my car in a local garage to have the injectors changed while the plenum was off I got the garage to bypass the plenum water hoses and the EGR. Before the car went in the stock boost gauge worked fine now it is not working properly. When the ignition is off the gauge reads -14 when I turn the ignition on the needle jumps up to 0, when I start the engine the needle stays at 0 instead of being drawn back down to about -14. If I give the engine a little bit of throttle when driving the needle will move to wards the minus (which it shouldn't) side of the gauge briefly then start moving towards the positive when I give it some heavy throttle the gauge seems to work as nor…

Hi , another quick question. I have these smic's and happened to mention on here that I havent used all the fixing mounts on them and because of this is causing a boost leak ( I'm loosing a small amount of boost - probably 2 psi ) . happened to mention to a friend and he disagrees with this.. Does anyone on here know for sure? Thanks

Evening, Is there an easy way of looking up a persons ride section? The rides section is in order of last activity only as far as I can see :( Vijay

So far I'm very happy with my black 94 jdm s2 TT 2+2 auto. So far it's as pure as can be. Thinking of dropping some money on it at to bring it up to scratch. When I got it I was thinking of going wide. Now I'm not so sure. Gonna base part of my decision on answers to this poll, sooo... P.S. Please also post pics or links to the best zed you have ever seen, so that we get to see all of them in one place :smw:
