Hi, My Zed has been keeped away in my garage all winter and its time to get her out. I have started the car twice a month just to keep things going ect. The advise I need is what should I get done before driving it for the summer, do you think I need a service, oil, filter ect ect? Thanks Matt

Had a little play with a scooby sti tonight and I can't get over how shite my brakes are. I know this is the case with most 300zx's. On previous cars such as my S14a I've had brembo discs, ds2500 pads and goodridge lines. This setup seemed to work well. Where is the cheapest place to buy them for the zed?

my heater blower has stopped blowing a couple of days ago. iv checked the fuses and the air con relay. has any one had the same problem or got any ideas? many thanks Nick

I've just bought a set of UK wheels with "nearly new" tyres but one of the rear KUMHO ECSTA tyres is not even legal. I want to fit tyres that will do a decent mileage but most of the threads I have searched only seem to recommend soft rubber performance tyres (which have relatively low mileage??) rather than general all weather hard rubber tyres (that have high mileage??). I don't want to pay Michelin prices, although they have given excellent mileage on previous cars I've owned, I only want to pay budget prices. Can anyone please advise me of suitable tyres? Cheers - Dave

I bought a new one as I thought the old one wasnt very good. Just put the new one on, think I dont it how the manual says, let the bolt out that holds the tension in, and it never really pushed out. Thats why I bought a new one as the old one didnt do that. Do they not push out, only not stop pulling back in. Or dont they push as hard as I think they will?

My A/C compressor has failed - the magnetic clutch is at fault, and the rest of the system works okay. It's a '92 N/A Import, fitted with a Zexel Compressor. I can only get hold of the Hitachi type compressor. Does anyone know where I can get a Zexel Compressor from (2nd hand), OR if the Hitachi Compressor will fit on the Zexel mounting points? pipe locations match? Pulley centre matches? Thanks, Dave
