hey guys will a set of skyline r33 rear calipers fit my 91 zx tt import cheers jim

Need to get my camber kit fitted this week before I go to germany but can't find anywhere local to adjust it. I've tried most of the usual places offering wheel alignment but none can do the camber. Not had much look searching on the net either :confused: Anyone know of a specialist in the north?

Got 2 sets of pads to put in my Z. Is ceramic or carbon kevlar pads the best?

Has anyone had a problem with interference noise on their radio. was going to fit a supressor to the alternator but then I realised how hard a job it would be. any better ideas how to fix?

Can someone please tell me the torque settings for the brake calipers to fix on as I'm half way through fitting larger discs and don't want to mess them up. ta.

met ya in somerfield another zed in yatton :hyper:

.....Where were you? I was down there all last week in the sun (until yesterday - 10/6) and only saw 1 300zx. It was Thursday lunch time - a red 300ZX driving through St Blazey towards St Austell. I was heading towards Lostwithiel in a silver SLK, I flashed my lights but you were busy biting your nails so I guess you didn't see me ;) John Lowndes, was it you??? Richard :D

My 1991 z32 recently failed it MOT with 4.59% CO. It passed on HC with 252pppm. It originally has no cat. Any ideas from people who had similar experience :confused:

has anybody got the new one. If so is it worth investing in. I had the old one but had to have it removed after a while as it started to mess up the gear changes etc (spoke to a few people who had similar problems with the old one)

Have seen on numerous occasions an R-reg silver z, in or around the abingdon area, anyone on here?

Anyone got any links to a how to for this as i cant find any Thanks

i finally got the most in depth info available from a guy in the states, its on the site , i wasnt able to link it so i got the full html and edited it down for here. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=54 its in the faq; brakes and suspension section i had to section it as the forum wont take all those images in one post i hope it helps you out

i have a garage in town that has a top of line 4 wheel system, they have offered to do the car for me but they say they need to know all the settings for the car front and rear so they can enter it into the systems computer. can anyone tell me where i can find the correct settings for the , camber, toe, alignment etc that they may need?? and what ever else they will need that i cant remember. i will check the service manual tonight. thanks si edit: i have found the service manuals section on this, will this still be relevent as my car is now 40mm lower? link: http://www.300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=ma&dir=&config=&refresh=&…

Just been out and really played with datascan...everything seems ok the only thing im worried about is duty cycle which went to 93 on a heavy accelerate on full throttle, though the af ratio did stay at rich through that, and my timing at the same point dropped to 18 degrees, though at 140mph it was fine at 21 degrees and the duty cycle went down a bit as well. anyone shed any light on wether this means there is a prob or not.

Hi People, Hope all of are loving your Zeds with the weather. My heater matrix seems to have given up and I remember reading somewhere in the forum that it can be swapped without the dash being taken out. Is that true??? Could it be by-passed without the dash taken out too?? If so could someone please send me the link for it or tell me how it can be done... Cheers guys.

ZX MAD possibly? unpainted kit with a huge spoiler Rob

Was travelling down the A21 today towards hastings when i noticed i was doing 130mph (not) and it was red lining on the revs. I'm sure there are 4 gears on the auto box but when i get to about 70 ish it changes into 3rd and that seems to be it! not sure why. will try her again later.

I got a toad car alarm fitted when I got the car (about 6 weeks ago). The guy who fitted it had a bit of trouble getting it linked to the central locking. He came back again and couldn't sort it. I asked questions about it on here and I think I got the answer and he said he'd have to research too. Anyways 6 weeks later and he hasn't come back. Whenever I ring him I go straight to voice mail. The only time I can get through is when I use a different phone to ring him. He says he'll come then just doesn't. Read into this what you will I'm not going to suggest anything apart from that it seems as if he's not coming back. SO..... How much does it generall…

ok started to fit turbo timer and conected it to hand brake i got this far when to lock the car and the central locking aint working. anyone know why this is. can someone help please asap

I want to uprate my rear speakers. any suggestions on how? i heard you can get a bracket for 6x9s

Georgus example of a convertable zed in red with beige leather trim 17" split rims looked like volks and a big brake conversion hiding behind them.Was on a k reg lives localy i think as the wife saw it a few weeks ago localy.Saw it parked up with roof down in centre of garstang today nearly walked into a lampost when i saw it as was drooling over it lol.

are these a set fitment for a zed? buying yaseens off him, does it make any difference from a manual to an auto or other way around? what are the advantages of them? do i need anything else to go with them or are they a bolt on job? easy job to fit? cheers fellas, nick

Hi, I have an aftermarket exhaust on my zed twin turbo, it was on the car when it came in from japan, however the centre box knacked, it was making a vibrating noise so I reckon the baffle pipes inside went, anyways theres a couple of flanges about 4 inches from the front and the flanges at the back end are about a foot towards the rear cans on the bends, what my question is, is will any centre box like a standard one fit in via the flanges, or with it being an aftermarket thing will I have to have a centre box made for it? I replaced the box with two pipes thinking this would sort it, but it's making the car run like a bag of hammers, something to do with eliminatin…

Am i right in thinking, that when air con is on, the centre flange of the aircon pump spins? where the belt goes, which obviously spins all the time, the centre should spin when on yes? well, mine isnt, checked all the fuses, and they are fine 3 in footwell, and one under hood. looked in the sight glass, and can see no bubbles or beads. any ideas please, im boiling

I knew it would happen sooner or later, and sure enough, yesterday I got my first big Zed headache... I noticed a bad smell in the car first (fishy) and then I noticed that the temp guage which has always sat dead centre, was off the top of the scale. I parked up and looked underneath, and water was dripping out (quite a lot) from a little way behind the front wheels. I limped the last mile home and popped the bonnet to hear a whistling sound and some steam. Not good. :( I have very little mechanical knowledge, and I don't want to drive it at the moment for fear of killing it. Can anyone suggest the most likely cause - or indeed what might be the problem…
