Hi mates!!, this is my new zed!! 2+2 twinturbo whit american fron bumper and red ferrari--- :hyper: :hyper:

Need to get new anti rollbar droplinks for the front, they a bit worn, now I have TEIN aftermarket suspension fitted, and need to know the length of the standard droplinks before I get replacements, just in case these are shorter as the car is lowered. So if anyone minds crawling under their zed with a tape measure I'd greatly appreciate it! ;)

i had my suspension set up as my tyres were getting trashed very quickly have they set it up right for the suspension i have kyb with eibachs

I know I can buy them, but I can get them from a mate gratis if I know the size... found Blackmagic's picture (below) and got some M12 (not sure of pitch) which go in fine but don't 'bite' like I expected - standard calipers & bolts are much harder to tighten in comparison. Am I missing something, or were the threads on my old calipers just completely full of shite?!? Rich

my 60,000 mile pimpmobile passed today with not even an advise note :hyper: :hyper: a little hint for the people running an aggresive fuel map and like me today thought ide have problems this is what i done 1 get the car up to temp before it goes in,i mean "real" temp 2 find a good stretch of "private" road and hit the pedal to get them cats really hot and working right 3 just before the tester puts the probe up the pipe where possible ask the tester iff you can clear its throat and hit the gas upto 5000 rpm then let it come back to idle 4 pull the vacume pipe off the fuel damper unit and allso off the other side of the balance bar where it tee,s to t…

Theyre a bugger to get to arent they. Finally get to it and now I realise what was meant about 'splicing' spade and bullet connectors. For those who haven't looked, the car (jdm) has a bullet type connector but the h3 bulb I bought has a spade type connector. So what I did was replace the spade on the new bulb with the bullet from the old. Now this obviously means I'd have to do this whenever a fog bulb goes. So to those who have done this before, did you get another spade connector to put on the car side? Thus eliminating the need to swap conectors every time a bulb goes? Weird things though, since they act as normal lights when on and even though my fog …

black z in east grinstead nice car :nana2:

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 1991 300ZX TT auto, hopefully someone can help.... At the moment, when "D" is selected the car won't change into top gear. When accelerating, the 'box changes from 1st to second with no problems, but then won't shift into 3rd. At the moment, we've checked the fluid level which is fine (checked after a run with the engine running).... Can anyone tell me if there is a fuse that controls the shift into top that could have blown, or if there are any other obvious things to check? Thanks, Shelly

Hi all, thinking of selling the (manual 1990 jap tt) zed (will be getting another 1 sometime, prob SWB) but how much is it worth, they seem to go for 1K up. As is the usual case, it owes me a fortune! spec is, chip, filter, exhaust, de-cats, lambo rear lights, bomex r/bumper, veilside skirts,99 spec fr bumper, 18's, new turbos (std), think thats about it? Probs are, oil leak (inlet cam pulley) 2 & 4th gears are a bit notchy too, few lil bits of paint. Be honest please, and thanks for the help, Steve

Hi I am looking to get some paint to repair my wing and bumper. Can anybody tell me what colour my car is and where I would find the code for it. I have just had a look at it says AH3g on the plate under the bonnet. Does this sound right? Also where would the best place to get it from be? Thanks Darrell

Ok, lets start at the beginning. Firstly what does the output rod do and does it need adjusting if i replace the pads, servo and master cylinder? Secondly I purchased a complete Servo and master cylinder which is guaranteed to work and guaranteed for 30 days and fitted it to the car. I bled the system EXACTLY as stated in the Nissan service manual 3 times. There is no trace of air in the brake lines. However, I have EXACTLY the same problem as i posted before with a completely different servo and master cylinder. When I start the car the pedal drops to the floor as in absolutely no pressure until i have a hissy fit pumping the pedal then i get amazing pressure til i …

Any one done this or know of the ruff cost including parts and labour? Or even breaking a manual, send me prices. Advice appreciated. :bow:
