Wondering if trying a set of wheel spacers on the front might stop my tyre wear if it's caused by rubbing on suspension - the camber is set correctly on adjustable upper arms. Thinking of a 5mm to 10mm spacer so I presume I'd need new bolts. Does anyone know of a quality set at a good price?

For the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing an intermittent idle and gear change problem.... let me explain...., I first noticed that sometimes while waiting in traffic, I'd shift into 'N' while at traffic lights etc, and the revs would go up as far as 1.5, instead of the usual .8. Now this would be at full running temp and could occur either towards the start of a journey or even after quite a long one, and sometimes it would run properly altogether. At the start it was just this, then I noticed that i was starting to have trouble with the auto box taking longer to change up. Now it did this at the same time as the revs were high. Now it was starting to …

dark blue L626..... Showground roundabout Norwich today about 1-ish

What tyres are you all using on the front? Beginning to wonder if my lowering springs, the offset of my wheels and tyre size is causing it to rub on the upper suspension arm? Hard to tell when the car isn't moving.

anyone know where i can get one of the following and roughly how much would i be looking at? cheers

anybody running 285 rears without a widebody?

Slow but sure my car is moving towards being back on the road. I blew up the engine in November, but had a spare luckily. So for engine has been removed for both new and old cars by greg. wheels have been removed awaiting replacements. aircon rad and most of the piping was removed today by me, though greg de-presserised it for me before hand. PCV valves changed. Plenum removed from engine and water pipes removed, ready for bypass by me. Manual gearbox cooler removed and mocal one going in its place. mesh from bumper removed and lights to be re-sited. Still a whole list of jobs to go. Fit lightened pulley, egr bypass & plunum water bypass to engine then refit…

Yesterday I was bored and vaguely thinking ( again ) about a smaller front number plate . I did a search and saw FunkySi`s link to http://www.fancyplates.com/ . Had a shufty at the site and ordered 3/4 size front one yesterday afternoon , way after the 12 noon same-day despatch deadline . Bearing in mind they say " Allow five working days for delivery " , I was expecting it by next Friday . It arrived today at 11:30am :hyper: And from Northern Ireland at that ! Now , that`s good service . So , well done Fancyplates and good tip , Si :bow:

Unfortunately I discovered the floor was looking a bit wet the other day. I have just checked the coolant and that has gone down too!! :( I just wanted to make sure there was nothing else it could be other than the matrix before I started ripping out the dash. And mines a manual so I take it removing the dash is the best way to go??? Cheers all

My local garage gave me Zed a minor service recently. They fitted Bosch plugs (without me asking). I soon found out on here Bosch are not well thought of for the 300ZX. I think since then my fuel consumption may have been a little heavier than usual. So, if I go to replace them with NGK, what do you think will happen? The old NGK plugs still in there? I'll just break something trying and not change them at all? I'll manage to swop them sucessfully for new NGK? I'll not get round to it and do nawt?

can anyone tell me how to disconect it simple as that realy cheers boys ;)
