Hi I have just purchased some ProSport gauges from SWZ. They are boost gauge, oil pressure, and water temperature. Do I need to get any other parts for the fitting. The instructions mention that there are additional parts available for the oil pressure and water temp gauge. (a sandwich plate I believe?) I presume these are to help with the fitting. Can the gauges be fitted without these parts, or is it recommended to get the other bits. If so, can anyone recommend a site to buy these from? And the car has a remote oil filter kit fitted. Will this cause any problems? Lastly, with the boost gauge, will having a boost controller already fitted cause any …

Hi, Anyone got any ideas why the standard brakes on my TT make quite a load clicking noise when the break pedel is pressed? Its coming from the front calipers (both sides). Nissan looked at them and said they are working fine but could not find what was causing it, NISSAN are a waste of space! Would be grateful for some help....... Paul

Im considering the SPL coilovers, they seem to be better made than the Teins and use a superior Mono tube construction. They have excellent reviews in the states but does anyone in the UK have these fitted...would be interested in opinions if you have

Any Welsh member got the above i could use ?? Cheers :D

I'm going to get my cracked windscreen looked at. Looks like my insurance will pay for a repair or replacement (less £60 excess if it needs replacing). I remember reading the glass is a different colour on imports and UK cars. Mine's an import - any idea how the glass differs so I can make sure they fit the right sort if needed. Cheers!

I know the entire TT exhaust system is incompatible with the SWB cuz the car is longer! But, can i use a nearside TT backbox and the 2 ft pipe that comes out of it to the down pipes in a SWB? Money is to tight to go for my dream blueflame exhaust at the moment and i have to replace a backbox as a pipe going into it has a big dent which failed the MOT

Hello im still on the hunt for the 300zx that is going to blow away my mind and i have had a look at 2 now and i know the kind of standered questions to ask that i would ask when buying any car but is there some Specific questions (Mechanical and Non) that people would recommend asking so that i dont get caught out by a dodgy person As i have seen in posts key ones to ask are Heater Matrix, New Clutch (Manuals) and New turbo's is there anything else that people would recommend i watch out for Thanks Munny

been told i may have a boost leak or vacuum leak, how do i find the leak??? or do i just change all the boost hoses?? like i have said on the previous thread the needle is just below the first line (on the left handside) on the gauge

I'm re-insuring my Z today. I've dreamed about this for 2 months while i've scrimped to get by. I kept my faith with the Z while others have badgered me to sell it but finally my money situation has taken a turn for the better. I'm soooo excited. Its like when i first got it. I'm insuring it today and picking it up from my dads in sussex tomorrow morning followed by about 1000 miles of fun!!!!!!! Shame about the weather turning but who cares!!!!!!!!!!!! whoohoo Gonna be thrashing from billingshurst to pagham tomorrow and then around the coast areas over the weekend if anyone wants to join me!!
