I have 2 pairs of mirrors for the Z but the plugs are different and 2 have an H on them and 2 have an E. Does the H stand for Heated (uk spec) and the E for Electric (jap folding). I'm probably wrong but i'm sure some one with a big brain will let me know. :rofl: Thanks in advance.

Thinking of sticking my Zed into the Auctions tomorrow... anyone any guesses at how much they make at auctions?

everything on the front suspension is under two years old. these tention rods were part of a fully adjustable setup including upper arms, transverse links and coil overs. the car is driven hard but, never to its limits unless tracking it. the torque settings are checked at regular intervals with no signs of anything loosening or cracking. cheers Mark

Some months ago now i noticed some bad noise coming from 1 2 and 3 of the gearbox, turned out to the the input shaft (i think), it dissapears when the clutch pedal is pressed. I got a very low mileage gearbox for a mere £200 from Japcars, over in Hythe and had it fitted. The guy local to me in Twickenham noticed a piece of metal on the sump drain plug and suspected it could be part of the synchro. I started the car and couldn't believe how quiet it was then drove up the road noticing i crunched 4th gear but after doing this time again on the way home i knew something was up! Called Japcar and told them of the problem who very kindly offered to repair t…

Hi all, As some of you are aware I've had a bit of a nightmare getting my car sprayed as a bare metal job. It finally looks like it's moving on but the problem I have is surface rust and it's especially bad where the door hinges are. The quetion I have is how do I make sure it's gone and ready for etch primer? I've found this - http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8229 and wondered if anyone has ever used it or knows of anything better? Thanks Vijay

Has anyone got a PTU they can lend me for an hour or so to diagnose if mine's dead? I'm in the St Helens area. Ta.

Finished the repairs yesterday and took the old girl for a drive. Everything seems to working OK except the steering. Getting the typical sound you get when power steering fluid is low, gets worse at full lock. Feels like the power steering is cutting in and out, although everything moves smoothly when car is turned off and on the jack stands. No leaks anywhere and fluid is OK. Any ideas?

Im looking to fill in the hole completely, where the clock went in the stereo facia plate ? is there any way of filling in the hole then bog it /sand it/ and paint the same colour as the car ? its made of a hard plastic (i think). Im installing a double din dvd player and i dont want that hole there.! also i dont want to have to resort to installing a turbo timer or similar in there Any suggestions would be much appreciated !

Shouldnt of found this site, shes gona kill me.http://sgpracing-store.stores.yahoo.net/ guess what I bought lol

I am tempted to get something like this rather than a re-trim.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230208693792&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013 Has anyone fitted seats like this to the std ZX bases? and if so was welding required or just nut/bolt/bracket? Also would you go for a re-trim as opposed to this?

ebay Item number: 310010961319 ok guys, i want to buy these. will they fit an s2 jdm '94 lwb? i think they should, but i think as they have bulbs in them they are for us cars only, as those seems to have indicator lights in the side rears... if they do fit - the seller wants payment via bank wire transfer as it's international. if they do fit anyone want me to get them some, too? we'll probably save on shipping. if they don't fit - where can i get the same thing for a jdm car? or at least clear ones like on steve300zx's zed? thanks

hey folks anyone got or know if possible to have the mirrors auto fold in when alarm activated,iv got a toad ai606 if thats of any help. cheers Paul
