Just had a phone call from "The Big Fella" and he has asked me to send a message to every one that he is still alive and kicking, Bless Him.His recovery is progressing slowly but I am sure he will get there in the end.I must admit I was filling up as he spoke to me as I know it must have been difficult for him.Fingers crossed for you Simon and a speedy recovery.........Jackie & Vinz

I'm fitting some Brembo R34 calipers and want to upgrade my brake lines. Can anyone tell me where i can get a set and who will know if the lines will fit ok with the R34 calipers? Thanks Alex

Guys, Any of you know of good companies that will come down and value your motor? Cheers Dan.

Hello, fellas, I'd like to get the Nissan Z31 service manual, is any place, where I can download it? Sorry, if that was covered ... Thanks! :smw:

Has the Z Centre stopped doing these? I can find the targa rubber but not the whole door rubber. Or can any of the traders on here get them? pleeeeease :D

Every time I press the middle pedal On my 300ZX NA it slows down :confused: HAVE MY TURBO'S BLOWN :cry: :cry: :cry:

A 300ZX Scheme nice little pic of a zed for your homescreen :)

Im searching for a comprehensive diagram/schematic of the stock SMICS and end tanks as im looking into getting some new ones custom made. any one?

Happy Birthday chaps :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

I am planning an engine swap for my zed just to do something differnt and these are the choices before me : VQ30DET 280hp/285tq VQ30DE-K 222hp/ 217tq VQ35DE 255hp/246tq (350z) all mated to a 6 speed gearbox.... my dilemma is go with the VQ30DET where little is know about it , go with a VQ30DE-k and use the extra cash to turbo chargre it Go with the VQ35DE but will have to stay NA for a while....what do you guys think?? Why i choose the VQ line of engines is because they are 30% lighter than a VG and close to 40% lighter with the VQ35

During my research on Camaro superchargers I came across these: http://www.vortexvalve.com/installs/nissan300zx/ Anyone heard of them?

Managed to out-accelerate one of these fairly easily on the M6 the other day. It didn't seem that quick for a 350hp car. The driver eventually slowed down to 45mph to see what it was LOL! Do they lose a lot through the extra diff?

getting one for the s13 for a bit more flamage? anyone got any knowledge/experience with these?

Evening all, A sad day today, my old zed shell was taken away to be crushed :cry: It's been in a lockup for ages now until I pulled my finger out and got rid today. An interesting fact is that the whole car can be lifted by the t-bar middle support which surprised me, and without an engine it sits dead level when lifted by the t-bar support. Might be useful knowledge for someone in the future. Cheers Pete

Would you say use copper spray or not?

Is there anyone near Flint who would like to volunteer their services with the diagnostic pad on the car belonging to my other-half. It miss-fires and nearly stalls when accelerating at about 2000 r.p.m. It's a daily user so it doesn't stand for too long, and the fuel filter is also new, plugs O.K. Air filter O.K. also.

Today about 5:30, on the Echline roundabout heading for the bridge, stock wheels. Was that car lowered ?

im writing in on behalf of my parents who own a 1997 1.6 mx5. problems include.... 1. revs can drop without warning leaving car close to stalling 2. revs can rise without warning, they can shoot up to 2000rpm at idle 3. very lumpy when trying to accelerate, car jumps around and does not pull smoothly 4. when the car does stall it sometimes takes a while to get it started again, when it does fire up there is a strong smell of petrol. the car has spent a few days with Mazda and they could find no problem, the workshop foreman took the car home 2 nights and each time reported no problem. has anyone any ideas what might be up? iv posted this o…
