Somebody mentioned they got some Alcantara off e-bay recently, but I've done a search and can't really find anywhere that does the proper stuff for a decent price. Anybody got any recommendations / contacts? It would be for a re-skin of the doors, centre tunnel, dash etc but not the seats.

Just took the centre trim off the hatchback and found a long steel weight hanging in a rubber suspension system, in a steel bracket. Is it just an elaborate weight or does it do something special. ( Another 1kg saved )

Ok, it's gonna be MOT time for me in the next couple of months and I'm looking to replace my standard front discs as they are worn out and the hairline cracks have started to open up in this summer heat... :rant: I don't want to go down the route of fitting Skyline R34 Calipers so i'm just looking for the biggest grooved discs I can fit on the front which will fit the standard calipers without any messing around ... If there are any of you lovely traders on here that offer discount to 300zx.co.uk members on front discs then that would be much appreciated!! :bow: :bow: or any other place you know where I can get some replacements fairly cost effective!!!

Can someone tell me which wheel I can get to still have the cruise buttons fitted and useable, on the one I saw they were in the centre of the wheel around the horn button I think. I really want be able to use my cruise AND have an aftermarket wheel.

Ok folks, purchased some AZEV A alloys which have a softline matt finish. Am I able to send them somewhere to have them polished like the Plenums to get a sparkle mirror finish ? Thus, firstly is this at all possible from matt to mirror finish and secondly can anyome recommend some where to have them done in the London / Middlesex / Hertfordshire area. Any idea how much it would cost with downtime etc. Thanks.

Also i will giving the car a good service to prepare it for more boost. what are my options-ive heard of boost jets,controllers etc Whre do i start and what do i need? What sort of money am i looking at to get started? will something like …

Ive noticed that when i turn left in my zed i now get a slight sqealing from the pass rear wheel. Its only recently started and seems to be worse if you corner hard left, but nothing turning right. Im guessing this is the start of the wheel bearing going? How much to replace these? and is it an easy job (guessing not as it is a zed after all!)

The belt which runs from the water pump pulley to crankshaft pulley to alternator has burst. How big a job is this to replace . Anyone got any idea of time and cost etc?

ok i keep filling my radiator but the water doesnt stay at the top after leaving it. there are no obvious leaks. the filler bottle is pretty much full so i dont know whats going on. urgent help needed

Just a quickie, I want to put a manual immobiliser switch into the fuel pump circuit. Have got the plate off inside the boot and there are 5 wires going into the tank. Anyone know which ones are for the pump, I'm assuming the pump is in the tank. It's a 94 jap n/a, ta.

tried fitting the 905 belt and it squeals like a banshee - and pas pump its at it furthest setting so need a shorter belt Got a 863 (about 4cm shorter - that should mean if i can slacken the pump all the way i should be able to wind it on about half way in the slide bolt. it dont fit - I cant get the slide bolt to pass even half way along its travel - adjuster is undone all the way but pas pump will only move a fraction. Ive tried drifting it slightly with some wood but cant get the slide bolt half way along the travel any ideas - what length belts have you fitted? Cheers
