Here are pics of all the avalible bumpers for the Z32, feel free to add pics of any other bumpers, but please no chit chat. Lets just keep this factual. 89-98 OE Non Turbo 89-98 OE Twin Turbo Wings West Stillen

i know there has been threads where people have posted pics of various exhausts, what we should do id have a similar threads for each products but the person who starts the thread keep the first post upto date with all the different options. It would be much easier for people looking for some new bits to see whats avalible. I'll start one for front bumpers.

Who can resist a bargain...not me this morning when stumbled across huge 8 footer xmas tree for a fiver on market....just had to have it but alas seemed an idiotic idea when i carried it back to me Zed! Anyhows off came the passenger targa top and in it went no probs.....had a few disbelieving looks as i boosted her up along huddersfield ring road....yep must have looked like a right cock but couldn't resist the comic value....now just got to spend the next 12 mths cleaning out all those pesky needles from the cabin! Merry mid winter pagan festival to all!!!!

Morning all Got a Outer HICAS ball joint/bushe and a front steering rack gator, both on the nearside to change for the MOT. Can anyone tell me how difficult these jobs are?? maybe a rough idea of timescales?? Cheers Chris

I been looking at 2 kits on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FK57-DUMP-VALVE-FITTING-KITS-NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO_W0QQitemZ320184079548QQihZ011QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m118 (£49.99 or best offer) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DV26-BAILEY-DUMP-VALVE-FITTING-KIT-FK57-NISSAN-300ZX_W0QQitemZ130005585957QQihZ003QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m118 (£69.99) they both look the same to me?! FK57 for nissan 300zx Are they the same? If identical I will be going for the cheaper one of the two! The first seller has increased price to £69.99 as well!! Damn :headvswal

whats that noise when you have the boost set too high like a cracking/electric noise from the front of the engine?????? I fitted my manual boost valve and had to adjust the boost its set at 14 psi now but while i was adjusting and test driving i was running too high boost and adjusting down till that noise went away. when the noise dissapeared i reduced the boost another quarter turn just to be on the safe side.... Car is running sweet but just curious bout that noise.....

Right... I have a 93 Uk spec LWB TT zed. It has 80k on the clock and is an auto. It had a cambelt changed less than 1k ago. I took my 300 out for a spin this morning. Coming off a roundabout it went a bit sideways. Anyway, I caught it before it went too far and headed off up the road. When I put my foot down it was severly down on power. I got it home, popped the bonnet and there was some smoke coming from the back of the engine near to the oil dip stick. When I put my car down the car boosts on the guage as normal but there is no power, it feels like an N/A! I think I can hear the turbos hissing - could I have blown off a boost pipe …

Hi folks, This is a real long shot but the hose from the hicas to the power steering pump has just split. peeing fluid everywhere, car not driveable. Don't suppose anyone has a spare one or knows where i can get one asap. Bloody typical on xmas weekend well fed up nick ps am in surbiton, surrey. have tried rice rocket cos he's local but they're shut all week.
