Just been checking the headlights on my zed prior to its mot and have noticed that the nearside main beam bulb is a lot dimmer than the offside one. Also the high beam on the nearside doesnt work.... Any ideas before i start pulling it apart ?

Sorry mate, I saw your ''Name up in lights'' comment in the post on the turbo timer thread, and I could'nt resist!...Can you take a 'nit pick' at my thread for me when you get a mo dude? "Smooth Skin Tailgate spoiler..??" :p Ta in advance for your time, which is appreciated, honest!! ;) Dj.

can anybody tell me the bore size of standard fuel hose for j-spec twin turbo cheers :confused:

hi i was just wondering if the uk lights fit into the jap spec z32 with out a problem or what has to be done to make them fit ie wire in i mean.

My zed is off the road for work at the moment. Is anyone driving their zed in the snow and having fun keeping the rear end and tyres in control :smw:

I'm after a Wings West front end but not sure where to place the front number plate if at all. What has everyone else done? Is it legal to have it in your front window instead??

Sorry mate in a hurry and couldn't find the old thread about the above. Here are pictures of the turbo timer in situ. As I said before it'd only 10 cms long and is the size of a lipstick and will locate either side of the steering wheel hump up against the pod perspex. LESS IS MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got to run may post more later. And I went out in the bloody snow just for you!! Let me know what you think! Andy

I am sure I saw a thread about this but can't find it under search so will ask again. My passenger window operates very slowly when I use the drivers side switch but operates normally when the passenger side switch is used. Whats the solution guy. Thanks Darrell

Some of the high horsepower cars run without filters because they are constantly being pulled apart and parts replaced. Like serious drag motors, they only do 1 or 2 runs then stripped.

As part of my big brake quest for the 300zx at not a huge amount of money ( My current options is still to get a smity big brake upgrade and hunt around for Skyline R33/R34 brembo calipers.

has anyone heard of (tcc work) they make dump valves apparently. if so are they any good.

as title really, hope there are no zed injuries today. just remember people zeds bite in slick conditions and in the snow they bite hard. be careful out there (for those of you who remember hill st blues ;)) i managed a perfect drift of a roundabout this morning much to the amazement of the guy behind me..lol

I know it has been discussed before but I wasn't interested then but am now. What i would like are some lower springs that are not too hard but maybe 30-40mm lower. Eibachs seem to be the favourit but are there any other that I might consider. Cheers, Scrawni.

done a quick photoshop of a uk spec rear end with the centre brake light removed and the fog lights flushed... do you think it looks any better or just a waste of time? i think with the 99spec lights in there it tidys it up a treat :)

check this old girl out :)

whats best? a front mount, like the ones on ebay for around 300 quid like this or Aluminium side mounts for the same money, like these? if it was your money what would you go for? :confused:

I got a Snooper (used one from a club member). It seems great. What would eb the easiest way to get a hard wire rigged to a live fairly discretely? Go in near the stereo perhaps?

can some one give me the pro's and con's of this kind of up-grading .. many thank's wozza.. .. FIRST AND FORMOST, a stage is not a set number, if you just have headers you are not a Stage 5 Z, you would be still a stage 1. the number of the stage is the number of power prducing mods you have. IE: intake and exhaust: stage 2. ecu and headers : stage 2. cam and exhaust : stage 2. any combo of X power mods = X. some ppl count the light parts as stages, some count them a "+'s". some ppl count 2 "Xs" as 1 stage. some say stage are over rated. these are set up in the order that will help out the most. Hp numbers are estimated…

Hi anyone seen this Z on ebay recently it says it is in an up and coming film. Cant paste the link but its a Black Jap Series 2 Manual Z TT if you search the bay it will come up. What is your opinion on this car? Anyone seen it before or worked on it? Im tempted to take a look.

i think my engines over fueling.some one recommended getting an electronic boost controller but that option is too expensive! is this any good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Manual-Boost-Controller-NISSAN-SKYLINE-300ZX-200SX_W0QQitemZ110087537407QQihZ001QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem thanks Nick

Just fitted a chrome balance bar and noticed the there are no gaskits between it and the plenum. If the fit between these two is poor, how will it effect the runing of the car? Is it worth using a liquid seler? Cheers, Andy
