Good Evening, :cool: Lookin 2 get these longer studs from courtesy nissan, does anyone know would these be the correct size for the rear hub, as in the size of the spline? http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=40222-00004 Cheers.

Does anyone know where there is a DIY guide, preferably a step by step thing that will show someone that has no clue pretty much how to do stuff, even just the basics really

OK guys, with regards to my other thread "TT engine problems", I've started this to get a quicker responce! Me and the guys at work have managed to push the car and free the engine! I got my diesel next to her with the jump leads on the go and shes now turning but not fireing, before it wasn't even turning it was just clicking! Is there a fuel cut of button anywhere as i havn't got a manual or can anyone surgest what else i could do to try and make it fire???? It just sounds like a normal, nothing wrong with it engine whilst it's turning and i've been informed that thats a good sign, right?! Please help me my new best friends!!!! lol Theres a…

whats the best one? some sum with blue ends :)

Just been told that the Zed has failed its MOT. Apparently it was giving out dense blue smoke when idling and so it failed the emissions test. Any ideas on what can cause this, is it serious or could be? Cheers

Silver Z on Mersea Road Colchester 2PM 08/09/2006 Reg No G508*** Heading towards town near the Cemetery

I'm fed up with a combination of my tatty-looking boot blind and the tinny sound of my 6x4s in the stock location, so I've decided to build myself a parcel shelf and stick in some 6x9s. No sub is going in yet. Thing is, I know nothing about the practicalities of parcel shelf building. However I do it, I'll butcher my existing blind to use the same mountings and central bar on which the shelf will hinge upwards. Then I have 2 basic ideas- one is a solid shelf over the whole boot space. I guess it would be the best solution as a sound board, but the hatch gas struts would be too weak to hold it up if I strung it to the hatch. Idea 2 is to have a solid shelf n…

Would it be possible,has any body carried this type of work out! Been thinking of getting hold of a Ferrari Daytona kit and thought these engines could be a better option then a rover or jag ..being lighter and more compact. Have always liked the kit [probably from watching all those miami vice re-runs] and i have possibly sourced a "UNFINISHED PROJECT" :cool: Cheers Dave

what make and flowrate are the std TT injectors?

Been sorting stuff out in my Garage as I'm going to have another engine built from the 2.5 TT engines I've got and noticed that the injectors on my original fuel rail are purpley blue. I always thought the car was quick as it always seemed to have the edge on other standardish Zed's, but I just thought it was my induction, boost controler and skill behind the wheel. The car was registered in November 94 and when i've given the chasis No to a few Dealers theys always said it was one of the cars on the cusp of the changes. So are these just the later style standard injectors and therefore the later rail and lower plenum or are they 555's.

where is the best place to lift the engine from. bear in mind the plenum has been removed. cheers guys

Just finished watching the Nissan promo dvd for the 300zx which the postman delivered this morning via eBay. It is twenty minutes of interesting video commentated and demonstrated by Tiff Needall. As it's been around for 16 years or so I guess most of you will already have seen or own it but there are probably a few new Zed owners like myself who would get as much pleasure as I have out of watching this DVD. It only cost £2.98 incl. post so if your interested here's the link:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300ZX-NISSAN-PROMO-DVD-Z32-300-ZX-350Z-280Z-260Z_W0QQitemZ280026130397QQihZ018QQcategoryZ60881QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I don't get commission by the way l…

here is my first zed with her new wheels. check out the grin on my face.....coool. :cool: http://www1.snapfish.co.uk/slideshow/AlbumID=55926230/PictureID=1560365789/a=72263037_72263037/t_=72263037

I've decided at long last to bite the bullet and get the car fixed once and for all!!! I have PM'd 2 traders asking for quotes on getting the tubs done but they haven't replied in 2 days!! Just wondered about your experiences and who or what is the cheapest way to get them replaced/refurbed etc. Preferably 360 bearing upgrades. On a final note could the problem be anything other than the tubs....the sympton is masses of smoke after flooring it on at a stand still or moving. It only happens when its warmed up by the way. Thanks as always Rob
