hey guys currently got 275/35/18 tyres on our 9.5" wide 18 inch wheels could i put 285/35/18 on them ok or would this be a problem

Spotted you parking up just round the corner from the tube station. Sounded really nice as you drove past me. I was the nutter waving in the middle of the road next to the metronet van. Such a gent and opened the door for your lady. You really should let her undo her seat belt first though. Darrell

My Good lady wrote her Celica TRD off just before Christmas and she has nicked my C70 T5 GT until we sort her out with another car. Got in it on Saturday and it sounded like a bent drive shaft. Told her not to drive it and use the pickup. No she carried on driving it and has totalled the gearbox. Going to cost £1000 to replace it. + repace the bent drive shaft. + she's bashed the front bumper causing a split, a broken fog and wrecked the paint. + the Head unit has a 6 CD cartridge in it and she's fooked the mechanisum so it's wedged open. Second hand replacement £350 New from Volvo £1400. Pi55ed off is an understatement.

Hi All My 300zx TT has a problem and I would be most grateful for any advice. About four months ago the car was showing signs of hesitating when the accelerator was pressed. Not long after it simply died and would not run, it would start and then cut out again. The car has not been used since as I have been so busy at work but I now need to sort it out. Any tips on what I should look at would be great. I did install a newer model PTU some years back so I don't think it could be that. Please help, the car looks very sad just sat there collecting dust! I have not posted on the forum for some time and did join back in 2001 under the user name Simon H. It's nice to …

Bought a black 1990 zx a few weeks ago, no turbo's though :-( My names Habeel and to be honest I was looking for a supra, but I could not find a manual transmission and the nissan caught my eye.....few days later im hooked.......

Can anyone tell me if the bolster on the drivers seat that always seems to get scuffed/damaged can be changed for the one from the passenger seat. If so how is it done ?

I want to remove the front fog lights as they look mucky and naff to clean them. I have broken the plastic lens on one oops trying to do this. How do i get them out and do they look much better with a clean. They look crappy anyway. Are there more jazzy upgrades that fit in the same space. I got some blue leds to put in them to replace the naff browny fog light look but i have decided the blue leds look to chav.

Hi guys and girls i am about to fit a Border front mount intercooler ( its a huge beast ) and i know it will cause some air flow problems to the rad , my question is , has anybody ran ducting from the old intercooler intakes to feed extra fresh air to the Rad ?? or can the old stock intercoolers be used as auxilliary water radiators ??.......is there enough room to run pipes for this ......just a thought Steve

Guys Has anyone seen MarcZ32 around lately?? He paid a deposit on alot of goods from my old Zed and I havent heard from him in a month. I have PM'd him several times over the past 6 weeks, 3 of which he has read and not replied and another he hasnt read. The the PM he didn't read it advised that I needhim to come and collect the goods within the next 7 days or I am going to have to relist them for sale, as I desperately need my garage back! Anyone seen him? And what does everyone think is a reasonable length of time before we should relist items, even if a good deposit has been paid? M.

I have a warning light come on and I don't know what it is. I have lost power and the engine is hunting at idle. The light sits next to the handbrake light, and looks like a diagram of a piece of an exhaust with steam coming from it. Can anyone send me a scan of the warning lights page from a 1993 TT. gazwoz@aol.com..Cheers

:confused: I met a young fella last night at my works depot. He has a nice Black TT import with very nice Chrome rims and it has "VA" badges on it (Dont know what this "VA" means?) I asked him if he is a member on here and he told me he just bought the car today (thats yesterday now). Anyway I told him he should pay a visit. What amazes me when I think about it is the ammount of Z owners I have come across that havent heard of this site or have but just dont bother. There are still a great deal of 300ZX's around but you rarley see one ??? I think its just one of lifes little mysteries? ;)

ok ok, so it's NOT a Z. Bantum's thread encouraged me to go looking for a decent 200, so I managed to find a mint, totally standard SX s14a and I'm picking her up in the next few days. Needless to say I'm rather excited. Just thought I'd share my news! :hyper:

hello, does anyone no where to find the z emblems that go on the centre cap of wheels???? adam

"I am not sure what is involved by the methods zed world use but guess from the comments from everyone not so much and it is more of a bodge job?" I have spoke with Zed world today who noted my post and I would like to express my apologies. I have this week had my car fixed by zed world of Tamworth and I have to say they were very efficient and helpful. My car is now working as should be after Nissan had it for 2 months and made it worse! Please excuse my choice of words, Jeff at Zed world was very helpful in detailing the proceadures they use, but I always like to ask independent advise, Just to double check and make sure I make the correct decision, as th…

Standard front bumper is coming off my T/T, auto shortly to be replaced with something a little bit better looking ! :cool: Anything else I should attend to, or reach easier, while its off ? Ideal chance to strip and clean the headlights I suppose ! All suggestions welcome. Alan...........

God i cant wait :dance:

I'd just like to "big up" Luke at Zcenter for all his help today. I found out this morning that my radiator had died and so the hunt started for a new one. I needed one for the weekend as the car is going on the rollers so time was of the essence. Having tried a few places to get a second hand one (no joy) I started looking for a new one and headed for Zcenter. Gave Luke a call and explained my situation and he told me that he had sold out of Koyo rads and wasn't expecting any for a couple of weeks. He then had a thought and asked me to give him a ring back in a bit, he had managed to get one back from one of his local customers so that I could get my car back on the road…

Can anyone tell me how much the two bearings that the cam belt runs on costs and where the best place to get them? Think they are the same as the one on the cam belt tensioner.

Hi, can anyone tell me if i can use normal car body paint on my cam covers and throttle cover or if it can have laquer on it? Don't want to have to paint them twice. cheers

Roaming isles looking for unsuspecting newbiles to lure back to his little maintenance office. ;) Good to see ya again mate. Bit of a surprise to bump into you. Si

to house 6 x 9's ?? just wondering if somw carefull slicing would allow me to mount some instead of 6 x 4's and please leave the 6 x 9's are crap comments to yourselves cheers

The car's been running very roughly and idles been up and down when it's cold then seems to clear up once its warmed up and been run round. There's also a slight whining from the left hand side of the car (where i found this) Was fishing round the engine bay for possible causes and found this: First question, would the leak on this cause a poor/variable idle? Second question, where the heck can i get a replacement made up?
