Jaffa! :duffer: hope you have an awesome day! :dance: x

Can anyone tell me what the resistance value would want to be if I was to use this LED type, and run 12vdc through it? If I was to run more than one LED in parallel, how would this affect the resistance value? All help appreciated :bow: Edit, also how could I run some LED's, on a separate run, brighter then others on another run?

Does anyone know of a product that removes adhesive left over from velcro etc on the dash without damaging the dash? I had this really sh***y velcro holding my head up display, and it melted in the summer sun and fell off! I now have some better stuff to try and want to clean all the old s**t off first, tried a few things without no success.

what shall I do???? ok, most of you who have been around the club a while know of all the problems I have had so I won't go in to them. now I have spent so much on it iv completely lost count and I don't know whether to keep putting money in to it or just buy another one. all my car actually needs is a new engine then the rust off the arches sorted (its getting worse) then I want a wide arch kit and some nice wheels. alternatively do I just but one done already that I like??? I don't really have any particular price that I don't want to pay or anything, would just want a minter. what do you all think?

right heater matrix has not been bypassed but i have no heat i need input - any ideas :cry:

Right only had the car a week and it is my first zed, 1991 Jap spec TT. The idel on the thing is rough as hell will not idle smooth when cold or warm and smells very rich. Will fault code the ECU tomorrow morning but what do I need to adjust / look at first? also the car is fast idling when warmed up when coasting (holding clucth in while moving) and also when you pull up to a set of lights / junction any ideas?

Bit of advice on what to buy. I want to lower the Z as am sick of you all calling it a 4x4. Whats the best way of doing it? IE what do i need to buy? Seen these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200066119153&rd=1,1 or these second hand. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110077339475&rd=1,1 What do you guys think? Darrell

I bought mine about a month ago (friday before chrimbo) and have been planning to complete the car from scratch to what i want, after talking to quite a few people and spending the day with a bodyshop looking at all the options to get this car the way I want it doesnt make sense money wise for me to do it to the car ive got :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I dont have the money for a showcar or to bring it up to the level of some of the members on here, I thought it would be cheaper then it is and is my fault for not doing my research first. I am not a fan of the pearl white so it would have to be bare metal resprayed as i wouldnt be happy with just a colour change, I tho…

Hope someone may have had experience with my little problem. I noticed yesterday that there was an rattling noise coming from what seemed to be the engine! Popped the bonnet and all sounded sweet - revved whilst m8 listened and sounded sweet - no rattling heard from under under bonnet? When inside the car the noise can be heard to be coming from under the dash area so to speak? I have done nothing to the car appart from a new power steering pump belt last week? belt is ok and not overtight? The ticking noise seems to come and go at differnt rpm's? Please help.................................

Seen this on Ebay, any info on the garage thats selling it, or even the car itself !! Impact Cars, (great name) and going by the area code, around Wakefield maybe ?? Cheers for any info, Alan.......... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120071707644&rd=1&rd=1

Well after a year of trying to do a bit here and there on the rims and 8 grueling hours to take all 100 seized bolts out the wheels i decided to have the rims polished professionally. The guy who did them is called Paul Sankey and works in Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire. Top top guy, really friendly and very cheap, £20 a rim To remove all the pitting, scuff marks and my shit attempts at getting rid of the pitting took him an hour and a half to get this finish when i was working on them for HOURS and HOURS!!!! :D They're awesome! The centres are going in for polishing in 4 weeks time when he has them booked in around his contracting work for £4…

Engine all assembled other than pump mounts and covers :dance:

and not a single zed spotted :smash: :smash: But lots of men in skirts :shock: :shock: :shock: :x:

As above really, only had mine a week and has had an uprate wheel fitted and now there is now cruise control buttons if it is even fitted.

Hi Guys Quick question, How many valves does the 300zx engine have? Cheerz Chris.

Watched my Zed being driven away from me this morning :cry: Sat in it one last time last night with the usual pangs of regret, remembering all the good times etc LOL. Didn't quite lower myself to chasing it down the road screaming "I've changed my mind, I want to keep it!" Ah well, time to move on and all that. I'll still come on here, and I'll still get to the odd meet (haven't forgotten yours Eileen!) Rob/merlin2002 will be subscribing shortly as the new owner. All the best Rob! I'll be looking for updates on the changes you have planned! :) Party on dudes, Mark W signing off... (kind of)

Can anyone recomend a decent battery that can be recharged please? Will be running an alarm and audio set-up and as its a weekend/summer car it sits for a while before being driven about so might aswell get a decent one :)

I have a spare plenum which I would like to give a mirrored look like attached pic. Can anyone tell me what tools are needed and how to do it?

was it you at 22:00?

Standard looking Z parked up outside the Vue cinema on the Ocean Plaza wed night. Anyone on here?

just been to Glouster and back on a full tank. Mate had to refil in his scooby. That and i got out the car with a massive grin. Zeds 2 Scooby 0

they are a total waste of proverbial space. i would love to personally shove the tyres i ordered before Christmas right up the stupid ignorant useless fooking :xxx: arse! i ordered two tyres before xmas with a guarantee that they WILL arrive before christmas. they still haven't despite numerous phone calls and email the stupid "customer services" WHO can hardly speak a word of English tells me they don't have and information on the computer at this moment and i will have to wait till Monday!!!! WTF i went fookin mad!!! they have my money and i have no tyres!!!! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't my only one. :rofl: :rofl: Yes, it is only my fault but I only got the car a few weeks ago and I just ordered a 300zx key which I was gonna use as the main and relegate the crappy one I have now to the spare. It seems a clean break so I should be able to get one cut from it....I hope, otherwise its gonna be an issue! So irritated as I wanted to remove the rubbish stereos tonight, see what connectors I needed, buy them tomorrow morning and then fit the new stereo. Now gonna have to waste time getting a key cut...or 10! Lesson learnt :headvswal

:) Its back on the road....well for now. After fittin the shells today and a bit of work she lives again. oil pressure seems good(for the standard gauge). and shes runnin like a sowin machine. nice an smooth with no rattles at al. thanks to all who give any advice on my previous threads. i will be posting a step by step guide as to how i did the job for anyone wishin to have a go themselves. i reckon its quite an easy job for anyone handy, as long as you have a good selection of tools and you havnt driven the car while the bottom end has been rattling. i was lucky as i switched the car straight of wen i heard the knock. i started the next day and the knock …
