Other than HID which i am looking to do in the next couple of weeks.... I remembered reading the forum a couple of years back about lining the 'inners' of the lights with reflective material (Think they were dipped, and done on an exchange basis). Has anyone done this who can comment on whether it's worth doing prior to HID or just go with HID and forget the shiny lights?!!! I read an old forum archive and MAC1 and ChrisC claim to have done this, and be doing this respectively back in 2002...any comments on doing this pre HID fellas?

Hello everybody, (Hi Dr Nick!) I am going to have my rear HICAs ball joints replaced because I've got a bit of play in the rear wheels. :nono: I would quite like to get the HICAS eliminated at the same time. Can anyone recommend a supplier/manufacturer? Is there much difference between costs and performance of different makes? Thanks, Mike...

I discovered that my Carbon Canister (located behind the passenger side intercooler) is/has been (for god knows how long) - in two pieces! Basically the base has parted company with the body! Having had some idle/cold start issues that I pretty much cured with IAA unit overhaul/cleaning - I have still been slightly aware that my car [feels/sounds like] is not what it was 'BUT' - because it has not been on the road for a while, and has a blowing exhaust I can't be sure - it's one of those 'need to drive it hard - can't drive it' scenario's! Anyway the question was - would/could the Carbon Cannister being in two pieces be construed as a vacuum leak - and t…

mighty impressive figures :dance: regards, alex

I'd just parked my Z in the nightclub car park and was walking to the station, so it was about 8.55am. Spotted a very nice looking Black Z driving towards the town centre from the station. Wish mine was that clean :cool: Gaz

Spotted it on West End Road around 4pm (might have been a bit later) last Thursday (23rd Nov). It was getting dark but I'm sure it was a yellow one. Gaz

i found ages ago on a site that there was an alternative type of connector for the injector connectors. i think they were off of another manufacturer but still fit. they looked better at keeping the moisture out and it wasn't a spring wire holding it on but an intergrated plastic push clip. does anybody know where i can get these ones from?? i can't for the life of me find the damn website now :slap: :headvswal :headvswal

Have you managed to check the front suspension arms. check out some of the photos in this thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=22382 both my front arms were fractured to the same extent as those in the pictures and I suspect at the least your nearside one is similar. when I replaced the arms with 2nd hand ones I also fitted a set of these to stop it happening again. http://www.smithys-place.co.uk/images/product%20imgs/sus014_large.jpg Also should say that when you check the car, if the arms are cracked U shouldnt use the car in the interests of road safety (ie your life). Ive gotta say that if you know what I mean ;)

(I been told its after 92 that you cant get rid of the cats) Like most of you out there (YEAH RIGHT WINK).

hi all what size tyres do you put on 17 inch alloys thanks

OK, not stricktly Z related, but it is sort of. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ We need to fight to try and stop this from happening...

16 months my Z has been off the road. 16 months!!!!! To be honest I haven't been that fussed about not having her, but yesterday I took the cover off the car for the first time in about 6 months, and I started to remember all the reasons why I love her so much. :cry: Not to self. Get your arse in gear and get fixing ;)

what brand of oil filter should i be using when changing my oil. is nissan part the way to go or is there an aftermarket company like HAMP that produce better quality ones or 3rd parties like blueprint that produce same quality as nissan filters but at a quarter of the price?

Being fed up with the stupid hazard light not working the way it should due to a tiny bit of plastic breaking (aint that always the case), I thought why not get a nice new switch and move it some where else where it might actually work for once. Anyone done this before? Any diagrams on how to do so?

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ self explanatory really :p

Anyone got one of these and know how to wire them up? Any pointers would be nice as I do really wanna replace the crappy one I have in the car with a nicer one!

Only problem is I need one tomorrow! Does anyone in the south east have one i can pick up tonight and return tomorrow evening? :duffer:
