Grey standard looking Z at 7.55 this morning, UAZ **** Watch out for those speed bumps! :) Was it you!?

My fanbelt (or alternator belt) needs tightening urgently. It is squeeling like mad and driving me crazy! I cant seem to do it myself and am desperate for help in the Nottingham area. Payment in beer!???

Grey Z on Dispatches: Bottleneck Britain reg H880 PUY anyone here? Vijay

Anyone know where he is? I sent him a PM ages ago and its still unread. Has he gone on holiday or something??? Anyone??? :confused:

Which of these options would you choose if you were me? Price is about the same for all of them, so are the dimensions. Vortex multi spoke 5 spoke

Where the hell would I start looking for an Enkei racing alloy wheel 18" by 9.5" in the same style as my sig pic? Do you think it is even possible to find one rim like this?

Hi everyone this is my first post, i dont own a Zed but im lookin at buying one next year, so just a few things i would like to know. My insurance is cheapest if i had a uk model non turbo, i havnt seen any for sale all the UK ones seem to be twin turbo's, Are the uk n/a models rare?? I used to own a pulsar gtir which was fun but im not keen on turbo cars after owning that, I wanted to know a few questions mainly comparing these 300zx's to a pulsar gtir i.e. fuel difference with the Zed not having a turbo but being a higher litre, are parts just as expensive or alot more than the gtir?? I guessing most parts you can get hold of quite easy as i could with my gtir. Do the U…

Hi all, Hopefully i will have my new turbos fitted next week as ive bought sum 2nd hand tubs off yampiedog. What else will i need to fit them do i need any gaskets etc? cheers

Look what happened on my way into work this morning driving along minding my own business when some stupid women pulled out of a side road straight into the side of me

seen around 8.30am heading to and from ashton town center.

:hyper: Got my Z through the first MOT since I've had her...... was worrying about it, Just needed a small patch of welding on the rear nearside sill....... and thats it for another year. The bloke next to my work welded it for £90 so well pleased :D Don't think thats too bad for a 15 year old uk TT.

Well, it's finally happened, I spun off the road in the wet! (there was oil on the road) was accelerating away from mini r/about, when the rear end went out, corrected that and she was gone! We (had my little girl in the front with me), spun round about 3 times really fast and ended up with arse end up a grass bank with the nose down on the opposite side of the road. Didn't hit any oncoming traffic somehow (was quite busy), a really nice guy in a small french car had stopped his car and all the traffic when he saw what was happening! Bent rear suspension and damaged g/box oil cooler, and badly damaged my Nismo alloy wheel. Will have her back on road as soon as I can, driv…

Hi all, just a quickey, I have a DTA chip to put in my ecu, the chip is a 26 pin chip (unless my eyesight is worse than i think) when i am looking round for chip sockets I only seem to be able to get 28 pin ones!! anyone done this and know what i should use? Thanks

Just replaced the rear pads on my ZX about 2 weeks ago. I now have a funny sound coming from, what i think is, the rear of the car. It sounds like a quiet clunk. Its more of a fast repetative thud but not loud really. I dont notice it when I accelerate but only when I coast. Any ideas. Cheers

I've been searching far and wide (on t'internet!) for black chrome mesh to replace my silver steel mesh with but I'm having a tough old time finding it! The only ones I can find are matt black and made of polyurethane. I've checked the local garden centre with a view to painting the steel but the smallest diamond they have is 13mm across which wouldn't stop a small rodent to be fair! Anyone know where I can find the stuff???

Hey, Looking at refurbing my stock turbos untill i can save the pennies for something bigger. Would like to do as much of the recon myself but need to find somewhere that could balance them for me, can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers Ste

Hi, This workshop is in Strood Kent just behind Tesco's, spoke to a guy think his name was Gareth, said he had been working on zed's for 15 years,asked him to price up a cam belt change said it would be £250, is that about right? when I spoke about this club he said that he preferred the Zclub, so is he known on here and is he ok to use. cheers Paul

i cant belive how gutted i felt watchin my zed drive away with its new owner who was a sound guy and hopefully take good care of it now i gotta look for a jap family car but i dont think theres anything that will touch my zed it just felt so right drivin her

Hey, Does anyone know where i could go to, to get a set of solid engine mounts made up or off the shelf? Cheers Ste

Anyone used these before? Just got some the states for my clutch and brakes, not convinced that the top bleed pipe in the clutch is the correct size but will soon find out!

Hi all, Does anybody know of a decent supplier of skyline parts?? it's for r32 rb20det gtst.... im looking for engine gaskets and hoses + possibly some other bits n pieces. cheers Jay

Hello, I have a '90 TT that seems to have blown a hole into the water gallery on cylinder 5. Have done a compression test and found all around 10.7 but with cylinder 5 low on 9.1 bar and a pressuried radiator. I have two questions, one does it seem a reasonable diagonsis and two what are my options for a gasket set, currently considering Z1 due to exchange rates is there anywhere else closer to home that has a similar price? Any words of wisdom would be good aswell about things to remember! Cheers Ste

Im looking to order quite a few parts from Z1 however i am a little worried about duty etc when the part comes over here. Does anyone know how this works or how i might get it cheaper lol :x:

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this :D , I have the chance to buy some R33 rear brembo disks and calipers from a 95 R33 GTR, now question is will they bolt straight on like the front's? Also has anyone done this conversion on a ZX?
