Due to work commitments could not make the Z trip to the ring so signed up for destination nurburgring in september.......Any other listers going ? Chris

Anyone running these in combo? They have an extensive range of stuff for the Z and wanted something different from the usual stillen / eibach route. So A) anyone running Nismo S tune Suspension and B) anyone running whiteline anti-roll bars? Chris C

Hello all Been looking on ebay and well my car has a sports exhaust (looks like the orginal one but much bigger ends) And a induction Kit I am thinking of adding decat pipes (On a 1991 it hsould be lega?), a better manifold, chip and iruimum sparks plus Is this a good idea? Anyone do chipping? Are decent spark plugs worth it, running NKG (or is it NGK) spark plugs (brand New)

Me again! I was having a nose around in the engine bay and noticed this pipe wasnt connected to anything. It was just hanging down. On normal idle, the pipe doesnt blow or suck, but when I reved the engine, the pipe sucked in air. Anyone know where it goes and what its for? Oh yeah, its on the off side, right next to the brake booster. Thanks! :D

My mrs has pointed out that someone with a zed lives like 8 houses away LOL

when you dyno a car you let it slow down in nuetral to find out the loss is it the same with a auto and is it ok to do it with our aged autoboxes( change into nuetral at the end of a run) Thanks Kev

what is the optimum oil pressure in a manual JDM TT?? cheers

I think I may have it... Is it as loud as when you have noisy lifters on start up, or go you have to strain your ears to hear it when driving? Also, does it only occur when there is load on the engine? I've searched for these but didnt come up with anything. Thanks everyone! :D

okay so i drove home from work (40 min ride) and had the car parked for about 5-6 hours, then i wanted to go out with friends car wont start...makes a noise like somthing is spinning but the fan does not movie or anything, no engine shaking... the 1st time you turbn the key nothing the 2nd then it does that sound.. i smell gas... could it be the starter... would that make the loud "turning cranking" like sound? thanks guys!

Take a look at both pics,turbos arrived today and just need quick bit of advise, the bolts with the asterix next to them were loose and i mean i could undo them with my fingers the other two were tight.On the other turbo all four bolts were tight,now i asume all these bolts should be tight am i right?also the last pic of the blades do standard turbos have blades that look like that?more to the point how do i no if these are built to stage 2 hybrid specs? one more thing dont laugh at my attempt to draw arrows LOL

OK, silly question of the day: Are grooved/slotted brake discs 'handed'? The discs I've seen have grooves that seem to curve so these would curve the opposite way if put on the other side of the car. If I buy 2 x discs will they supply a left and a right one? Graham.

Is anyone running Dunlop Maxx tyres, if so, any views/comments? Thanks David

Hi guys, ive got a group buy running atm for royalpurple oils. I just want to check that the information im quoting is correct and to check what ratings of oil people are using : Im pretty sure these quantities are acurate, but wanted to check the ratings side of things. After searching the american zed sites it appears that people seem to use 80w90 in the diff / 75w90 manual box and a dexron III for the autobox. Engine wise castrol recommend 10w60 or 10w40 for the zed. The group buy can be found here Thanks all

hey, just wondering whether anyone can reccommend a front bumper to go with the side skirts of my 300zx. I looks a bit wierd from the side because the side skirts sit lower than the front so something that would be the same sort of distance from the ground to match the side! Jim.

Today, around 8:56am...going past the carphone warehouse site...nice zed with vented wings etc... Was it you???????

Hi Guys I def need new tyres. My current tyre speed is Q, which is max of 99mph. Plus they're snow tyres :( Been looking at the Falken FK452's from falkentyres.co.uk Has anyone bought from them? Also, they dont seem to have a rim protector! Can anyone verifty this or recommend a good tyre that comes with side wall protector?

Monday 12th June Silver Z in the entrance car park to Tunbridge Wells North Farm McDs, Halfords etc

Yes, I got myself another Z after deciding not to bother fixing my old one. My old silver Zed has been commented on the forum with two of it's own thread, which also led to me being called a Chav. Not too happy about that but everyone to their own opinion. Well, you people are stuck with me for the mean time, as this little Chav got himself a grey Z to take apart and destory like the last one! Not really...! :D PS. To the person who commented about the Nova... No I didnt take that apart when I was driving it around! :D
