The clifford manual says that to do remote central locking on a 91 import zed you need to add a door motor to the drivers side. But it doesnt tell you where to do put it. Could anyone please give a description of how to attach the door motor or a picture? If you could that would be great. Thanks, Al

Can this be removed from the IACV, or whatever it is ? CheerZ Paul

Job for this weekend is to replace my rear shocks and the hicas arms. Does anyone have any experience of these jobs that would like to share any tips? It doesn't look too technical, maybe just a time consuming job. I am also guessing that I will need to get the rear wheels aligned after fitting the hicas arms? Thanks for any pointers Gareth

who is the best person or place to get some help on this.

After having a air pipe to the PCV valve blow out and spray oil all over my engine, have oil coming out the exhaust? When I boot it, smoke comes out, especially when changing gear when it comes off boost. Would this just be oil in the exhaust burning off? Though I have done a few miles since my PCV problems. Dont seem to be burning oil, checked level.

on my exhaust there is a center section that has these two parts , arrowed on the picture, are these cats or silencers? i dont know what they are. just wondering if they need to be there or if i can replace them with a straight through pipe?

Did one of my inside panles today it is cream vinyl i used spray glue to stick it down but after a few hours it bubbled and started to come away :headvswal its says should be ok to 50 oC anyone let me know what i could use to stick the bugger down....

anyone got the wiring diagram, or which wires to connect to for a speed converter kmh -mph

I've been reading what people prefer as their front/rear tyre pressures, but one thing has always puzzled me. If the pressure is there to support the wieght of the car then why does the wider rear tyre need more pressure in it than the front? Even with a 50/50 front/rear weight split then the rear would need less pressure as it's acting over a larger area???

no worky anymore :headvswal sounds like its trying too (i hear a little click) :headvswal

What cars have the alloy calipers? Selling my old calipers but not sure which ones they are and I'm not at home just now. They are from a 93 jap spec.Dave

As above. I've been on the search for any link that shows or explains a little on how to but aint had any luck yet. Could someone please give me a little light on this matter. I did just find out that you can by-pass with the dash in but nothing further on how to. I have got someone getting me sorted out with a matrix but am desperate to be on the road with her without having to keep an eye on the temperature gauge all the time. Could anyone help me??

how much would you part with to get your hands on a lambo door kit :hyper:

Ello chaps Was looking at the blitz sus filter n just wondered if anyone has one fitted .. reason for asking as i had the hks mushroom on b4 xmas and water blew my MAF.. fortunatly i had the standard airbox from my old TT .. as the blitz is made from stainless steel .. will water be prone to impregnating it? Cheers in advance guys

I've seen these on ebay and just wanted your opinions please - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-96-300ZX-TT-TWIN-TURBO-T28-UPGRADE-TURBOS-Z32-630-HP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ8076048845QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V I know nothing about turbos but claims like 'THEY SUPPORT OVER 600 HORSEPOWER' and 'these will push up to 30 psi' makes me suspicious. Has anyone ever heard of T25's being able to fit T28's centers? The seller has really good feedback too :confused:

Hope somebody can shed some light into my dim head on this one :o It relates to this thread..... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=73675&highlight=clutch+fork I have now got the box back out and after a phonecall I have taken the clutch apart for checking (a stupid move as it took me ages to line up properly) I just need confirmation that its going back in the correct order as I have searched the web and only come out with a guide for a RX 7 which looks wrong for our cars. Tell me what you recon, do the pics look like the correct sequence? Thanks

hi guys i need one rear tyre for my car, currently a continental contisport n1 245/40/zr16 i found a few 2 weeks ago on the internet and on froogle, but today its as if they have been wiped off the face of the earth! I cant even search for the tyre size anymore let alone the tyre itself! does anyone know where i can get such a tyre? Or where I can get that size tyre?! thanks darren

Had a lovely little envelope come through my door this morning with a £100 fine for driving in a bus lane on a Saturday afternoon. It comes with a groovy little picture of my car, and the hideous violation I was committing! Thing is, I was not driving in the bus lane, but two of my wheels touched the white line as I passed a car that was turning right and had its arse stuck a bit into my lane. Anyone know if I will get let off if I contest it?

I posted a little while back mentioning how I didn't think the apexi flowed as much air as the HKS mushroom filters. When I put the apexi on a few months back the car rarely boosted above 12psi. For the brunters thrash yesterday I fitted the HKS back on as the weather looked good so no rain problems. Straight away I boosted back up to 13.8 my normal amount. Are there any other reasons for this that anyone can think of or is it purely due to the filters ability to flow air, and the intake diameters, or is it also the limits of the air that the stock size turbos can flow? It would be nice to see what power was produced with bigger tubs as the engine is built for that, p…

A previous owner put 18” x 9” wheels all-round, whilst these are perfect for the 265/35 rear tyres and rear arches, the 235/40 tyres leave the rims very exposed and prone to kerbing. I would like to know the issues/options of my current setup other than looks and kerbing risk, are 9” rims too big for a 235/40 tyres, could I put 245/40 tyres on or would they foul inside the arch. Or apart from poor looks and kerbing risk are they ok? If the 9” rims need to come off, I’ve found out that I can get a pair of 8” rims for the front for about £250ish.

Hi, The previous owner of my NA replaced the stock air filters with 2 cones. However, these are falling apart and rusty and basically need replacing. Is it worth putting the stock ones back on or do you recommend sticking with aftermarket cones? Cheers, Dom
