Result! After sending my old set of goodridge hoses that were supposed to fit a zed back to the exeter section of goodridge the new kit arrived this week. Fitted perfectly! Pedal feel is better and brakeing is more effective! For those guys holding on to a duff kit with incorrect fitment I contacted; Goodridge (UK) Ltd Exeter Airport Business Park Exeter EX5 2UP United Kingdom T +44 (0) 1392 369090 F +44 (0) 1392 441780 Spoke with a guy called James Wills and was very helpful.

I have a 1995 mark 4 TT with black light weight recaro seats. I think they are from a later model car. I was thinking of buying an old set (1991) electric, and getting them recovered in leather as mine are OK fo an hours drive but after 3 hours or so are a bit uncomfortable (so my other half tells me). Are the 1990 seats the same shape and design as later models or did they change? Don't want to buy old ones to recover if newer ones are a better design. Also can you get an electric passenger seat or use 2 drivers seats ?

Hi y'all. I've been on before 'bout vibration and got a couple of replies suggesting it may be the centre bearing on the prop shaft. I got a mechanic to check it out and he said he could find nothing that was obviously faulty with the bearing or any other joint or coupling. My question is, as I was going to order a new bearing and have it fitted as a process of elimination, would I be better fitting a new one piece prop shaft? Any pros and cons and also does anyone know the best place to source these. Cheers, S

I have decided to look for a later version of the Z32 than my present 1990 model. I know I've only had it 5 minutes but I have been intoxicated by the many Z32's I've seen at JAE, club sites, AutoTrader, eBay and the web generally and have decided to get a version that has some of the add-on features that I've seen and liked. I have discovered it will be cheaper to buy another Z and sell mine rather than add these features my present Z. Somewhere, I have seen an article or post that said many improvements were made to the Z32 at a particular point in it's production - I think it was around 1994/95. As I am going to change my Z, I might as well try to get one that inc…

I recently swap a jdm 92 tt in my 95 na, first time i tried to time the car it was at +20 so i tried to reach +15, as soon as i got +15 the car rev a bit and the timing went crasy +30 +20 +40...in a second, so i stop the engine, i reposition everything to where it was, I check the self-diagnose and i got a 55 code... then I start the engine again warm everything up rev the engine a bit and find out that the timing is now + 30, the engine runs smooth... so i give it another try but i cant only get to +20 and the engine is not running smooth anymore... anybody can help, please!!!

Anyone know where I can get one / how much please?

Today I've found a problem with my auto box it got up to about 8000 revs without changing up, I eased off the gas pedal and it then changed up. On the drive home it seemed to change normally at low revs but any time I used a bit of throttle it just revved high without much go. I cannot do an auto box diagnostics as the AT light has not worked since I've had the car. Any suggestions?

can anyone tell me if the SWB door cards are the same as the 2+2 cards please? in other words will one fit the other? thankyou.

Hi Yeah I know this is a stupid but......... my oil pressure starts of at 4 when I start the engine, then slowly goes down to 0 after a few miles. Is this right? Spencer

I'm going to replace the timing belt on my 1990 300zx that has done 220.000km. Do I need to replace the idley pulleys and auto tensioner??

Finally got the zed on the road after 4 months doing all the fully adjustable suspension just in time for a holiday to devon, car made it there and back and the ride was great, 2 days later the clutch goes. Time for upgrading, going to get a lightened flywheel and uprated clutch, what other things are best to change whilst the gearbox is off, would prefer to get uprated parts if possible? Cheers Lee

Can anyone point me to where I can purchase a chipped ECU from like a JD/JWT. I need the complete unit. Any ideas how much to pay ? Cheers !

I am hopefully going to change my water pipes for a polished set, what else will I need, ie sealant / gaskets? Maybe even a step by step guide... Thanks

Looking at amassing some bits and peices over the winter. Amongst other thing such as new springs, shocks and what not, I want to get some adjustable front camber arms to correct the camber. I gather the rears have adjustable camber on them. Don't want anything mega expensive, just something that will do the job. I'm only going -30mm (Eibach).

thanks in advance peeps, posting this for a friend , reason its urgent he has a cance of buying cheap do standard shocks from a uk 300zx fit a jap 300 tt manual if there are differences between uk and jap front shocks what are they
