well???? i like it a lot http://www.directimportsolutions.com/fulldetails.asp?ID=50

Just came across this website, a wide variety of tuning products for the 300ZX, although you have to sign up to see the prices... I was looking at the Splitfire coilpacks and HKS ignition amp, and prices were not too bad :)

Saw you at mobie dick light's, you pull away faster then what i could in my mondeo.

Well... I oredered my apexi induction kit from dan at DTA. Top bloke. Spent the morning fitting it - nightmare. Took out my zed for a drive - sounded sweet. Pulled into shared drive area, could see neighbours car on his drive and saw his reverse lights come on. Stopped and popped her into neutral expecting him to reverse back and then out forward onto the road like any other person would. Nope, he reversed into me at between 10- 15mph. Smash! I got out, fuming... his words - 'sorry man, I wasn't looking!' He's taking liability funnily enough. As for my zed... It has a cracked bumper, number plate is wrecked, a small chunck of bumper has come off, fo…

I have finaly got around to putting my Data scan on to my computer.My question is, can i put it on both my computer in the house and the lap top in regards to the registration.I used my e mail for registration from the house computer but want to put it on the lappy.

AAAHHHH I just kurbed one of my wheels very badly. the rim is bent slighty can it be fixed or do i have to buy a new one? if it can be repaired who can do it? its a rays engineering volks wheel 17 inch. im so upset as i just bought them :(

Alright mate, Ive been meaning to ask you, but never got round to it.... Where did you get that dash mount for your boost gauge from. When i had my last zed i was going to buy Bee Gee Vinz's spare one, but prioritys changed and i never got round to it! Will deffo be wanting one when i get the next zed as the they look much tidier than A pillar mounted ones. Cheers Nick

As above I'm getting devorced and i need some kind of garage storage for a zed or two and some parts for a few months. Anyone know of any or can help.

having let my subscription elapse :nono: i cannot post in for sale section as yet. would just like to let you know that Ill have the bonnet mate if its still up for sale!

Did the stupid thing of driving off and leaving my fuel cap on top of car - ahh! does anyone have one going spare? my car is 93 UK TT cheers :dance:

Well the car passed the MOT yesterday so it's all good for the respray... yay!! Couple of thoughts though. I was wanting a 99 spec bumper but can't really afford 500 quid on top of the respray so was thinking about removing the veins accoss the intercooler vents on the bumper I already got to make it a little different, has anyone done this? Firstly is it possible without the bumper falling to bits and does it look alright?? I was also thinking about doing the whole roof in black so it just blends in with the screen. Again has anyone done this and does it look good?? Cheers

Ok following my previous thread about my deting problem ive been told the cas needs adjusting with a timing strobe light. Is there anyone out there who is near north london who could help? or can i take it to a local garage???

The rear window demister does not work due to the connectors being broken off from the glass itself. Any ideas on how I can fix this as my rear window always seems to be fogged up :mad:

How the hell do you replace the bulbs on the TT ?? is there an easy way is so cramped?? i have 2 HID kits to fit hi and low beam. looks near impossible lol!!! :rolleyes:

guys cant make up my mind,, shark front bumper or 99 spec bumper feed up of having it repaired, been looking 4 a while now just watching prices!!!! :rolleyes:

okay, some twit stood the petty handle thing inside car by drivers side... it kinda broke off completely and got push it in with a pair of pliers to open the petrol cap /or pull it for boot (i just used key for boot). do i need to replace the whole thing including the cable going to petrol cap? or can i get a 2nd hand one and just attach it to the wire? and will it work as normal? its annoying with pliers a couple of times i used a pound coin to push it in! not fun :(

How can you be sure a car is detting? i know it makes that crackling noise but when that noise goes away is there a way to tell its gone completly? Im finding it hard to keep at 14 psi with no detting... most of you know ive fitted a manual boost control the ball bearing type.. and my mods are in my signature below. ive also disconnected the actuator solenoids (well i think its the correct solenoid connectors) anyway is there anything else i should be doing, i havent had my timing checked btw.....

right how does the vvt work. i know it advances the timing on the intake side via solenoids at the back which allows oil to flow through the intake cam to the front sprocket but how does it actually adjust the cam. whats special inside the sprocket apart from the spring. oil flows into the sprocket but what does it actually do. is there a way of checking that the oil passageways are clear in the cams without removing the sprockets or damaging anything?? the vvt springs job: is it to just take up the slop in the cam or do they do something else?? vvt solenoids: can they be removed and refitted without stripping down half the engine and how can i check oper…

I didnt see it but the girlfriend has a sharp eye for them now! lol. Red Zed looked pretty standard outside Matalan and Argos etc. In Waterlooville.

Bit naughty using a pic of your car and putting their logo on it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-FRONT-BUMPER-SUPERB-LOOK-NEW_W0QQitemZ200186951375QQihZ010QQcategoryZ72206QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m124

That can help me fit a new thermostat? Help would be appreciated!

These guys do adaptors for the Z33 wonder if they do one or could for the z32 at only £750 would be great ?? http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/en/index.html

spent yesterday morning at tvr garage talking to the owner. initially wanted a Cerbera but the little lady has put her foot down and whats a convert for the summer...plus added running costs of cerbera has ruled it out so looked at a s2 elise, chimaera and a griffith took out a grif last year and she hated it but according to the owner at TVR garage we may have encountered a track beast with daft suspension so everything is up in air again. the griff was rough as fook on the road, bumpy, bouncey and basically a nightmare so these are the new choices... 1st - griffith 500 2nd - s2 elise 3rd - chimaera going back on a sunny day to take them o…
