Right, I have decided to spend a bit of cash on my car (a 90 NA) but don't want to go too mad. I have already re-trimmed the interior, fitted an Apexi filter, Grounding Kit, Smithys Bling plenum cover and replaced my vacuum hoses. I intend to replace the complete exhaust system, including NA headers and de-cat. I also intend to get rid of the jap clocks and get some UK ones in there (autobahns and speed limiters do not mix). I've got a rust spot on the rear hatch, so will speak to my local paint shop who I have heard good things about, to fix. I will also speak to DTA Holland about a good service (oooeeerrr). I have thought about the lightened pulleys, but a…

Ok it's decision time. Need some advice on weather to replace cats and keep back pressure to save turbo seels or get rid and have a better exhaust note. Cats look like originals, could get away with a quick weld up job. Anyone got any suggestions? What have you done and how much did it cost. Running out of money now so cheap solutions welcome. Andy

Can anyone tell me the zx tt oil capacity with filter change?

DO NOT MIX!!!! Please please please be extra carefull out there folks. If its not icey then the wet salt is almost as bad with the wide tyres we have on these cars. I don't want to see any more 'I crashed my Z' posts on here sorry! Sorry to the guys who've already suffered losses but I'm worried its only a matter of time before we lose another member rather than just another Z.... Fat, wide, low profile tyres are not suitable for the road conditions we have at the moment!!! Cheers, Andy

I lost the back end last night, the Zed is not in a good way! I hit curbs on both sides of the car. At the moment I can confirm that at least one of my rims is fvcked beyond repair, another 2 may also be too damaged to continue. The main problem though, is the rear left wheel alignment. I used to have a little negative camber on the rears now I have a LOT of positive camber and even more lateral play in the wheel. It will go up on the ramps later so I can have a look at how bad the damage is and what it's going to cost to fix. I will post pics later. On the positive side: 1. nobody was hurt 2. nobody else was involved 3. I wanted to get rid of th…

Anyone had any experience on the above. I already have a Cat 1 alarm system, but looking at better security and someone suggested one of the above. Thanks Barry

I am wanting to rid the Z of the tinny 'Fiat Uno door crash'. Just wondering if anyone's gone mad with sound deadening on their Zs and if it made any difference. Not interested in the ICE reasons for it, just wanting a better quality clunk, rather than the typically tinny crash that Z doors make on closure. Did filling the doors with dynamat make a really noticable difference?

Does anyone know for definate, or could someone post a link, to settle an arguement please. Is there a difference between N/A a TT camshafts? As I believe that there is'nt, infact, from what I remember, N/A and TT heads are exactley the same, except when you actually get inside the ports, then you see that the ports are different internally. The cams, the valves, the port sizes are the same. Thanks guys.

Hi all, How do I check and sort out any rust problems around the rear arch area? IIRC there might be problems from it rusting from the inside out but how do I check? Cheers Vijay

Evening guys. What is this connector in the engine and what purpose does it serve? (Circled in Pink) Thanks Rob

DARK BLUE J REG ESCORT that I see every morning at 7.00 in Grimsby. The one with the blue neons fitted to the windscreen washers and two in the front number plate. Nah you wouldn't be on here cos your a T**T.

hi guys, im looking for anyone with technical info and facts about the Z32 manual gearbox, all types- NA, TT, JAP, GB.. iv stripped one of my spares for a uni engineering project and any info would be greatly appreciated. pref in the form of a reference, but any facts and figures are equally useful. cheers peeps :dance:

Is that black gunk around the rear lights standard, if it is where can I get some from, if not what is it or what can I use instead. Cheers Scrawni.

Saw a red zed yesterday, J reg ( i think) on A2 bexley .. heading towards blackwall tunnel .. nice clean motor .. anyone on here?

Anybody heard from him ? He's not been online since 5th Dec and I need to sort some business with him.

I dont spose anyone has the part number for the AFM plug please? and would anyone know what they cost from Mr. Nissan? I bought a z32 AFM for my skyline, and didnt get the plug for it. So my options are get a plug, or use some spade connectors and make one myself :) Cheers Adam

Dark Blue N/A parked down Cazenove rd in Stoke newinton anyone here ? :tongue:

Deos anyone know if there is a guide for replacing skins on zed seats. Want to get cracking on these now! Andy

Red zed Castleford carlton lanes car park?Hi level spoiler dragon motif on the side.

How do these things work? I know they take a layer of paint off the top and all that but how do they do that? I don't mean scientifically though. Isn't there a lacquer on top of the paint? If so how do these products manage to get to the paint? Also, people use rubbing compound to mix in old and new paint right? So how does that work? Any help would be great as I've been doing a bit of spraying (headlight panel) and feel that a bit of knowledge might help me become one with my spray cans ;) Al

Has anyone got any recomendations on the pro's and con's of removing the standard fan and shroud and replacing it with an electric one. What size of fan and any preffered makes? Cheers Andy
