In the past it was easy to be spotted and be nicked for having higher wattage headlamp bulbs, but today with HID and other high performance bulbs on the market being rated at 55W but chucking out the same light as a 100+ W bulb, there must be little or no chance of being spotted and nicked for have a 100W bulb, also why does the 55W rule still apply? In the past it was to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, but why would a HID not dazzle, but a 100W bulb would? Also, as you should only use main beam when there isn’t oncoming traffic, why is main beam limited to 55W, as if you use it correctly you wont be dazzling anyone? The reason for asking is that HID are expens…

Still having loads of probs with my rad. An absolute pill to remove. Couldn't get at the auto box cooler pipes v easily. Was quted £100.00 for a replacement and although right year etc it was totaly different. Is there much difference between jap and uk spec???

hi chaps, can anyone tell me what they think of this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Turbo-Timer-Nissan-200SX-300ZX-Twin-Madza-RX-7-RX7_W0QQitemZ8072572739QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i dont know anything about them so was wondering if anyone more knowledgable has seen this make before?

This warning came up on my dash this evening...'LIGHTS'...checked all my lights and they seem to be fine...i'm assuming it's a brake or reverse light but i haven't checked yet... also...the battery light is slightly on when i drive...but seems ok. not sure why this is.

Seen Parked Up In Braintree, On Monday, Around Midday.

Sometimes my car stalls when turning a corner. Any ideas on why this is.

The other day i noticed that a pipe was leaking coolant from near the top hard pipe. So ive taken the engine to bits, just have a few questions. lol 1. If i were to flush the engine which hole do i put the hose pipe in the right the left or the middle oval one? 2. where will i get the small rubber hoses from that go on the left and right pipe? Just nissan or do any people on here sell them? This is mine The split doesn’t seem to go right through but i can find were else it would be leaking. Rad. I take it the pipes on the left side are gearbox oil cooler pipes? 1. If i got an aftermarket oil cooler what do i do with these pipes? D…

Whilst fitting some neons in the footwells of my car I noticed that there is a microswitch that is operated by the throttle pedal, anyone know what this does??? Scotty

Spotted Yami's wide arched Z in Filton, Bristol. Doffed my cap at the driver. Nice motta.

Hi guys, the full beam bulb has gone in the passenger headllight, seems to be a bit of the wiring loom in the way stopping me from getting the bulb out......how do I change it without breaking anything? Daz.

Red zed goin through leyland yesterday about 5 30ish had round rear lights and big rims

My car is an tt man and a uk spec: now then, i have just asked my chap who is under the car right now to plug up the rear oil diff cooler as it is cream crackerd and leaking, and also not needed,now thats done, can someone tell me,where to and how much and whats the best fluid for this job please? :)

been on all afternoon cutting and welding my arches ready for the kit to go on tomorrow also took the rear bumper off, which was a pain in the arse so here are some pics, i hope i cut them correctly lol looks like i will owe my dad some stella's on sunday :duffer: :duffer: :smash:

right, heres a question where can i get my zed remapped? got used to it now and its running hardly any boost at all, i mean like 10psi! which for the spec is peanuts, would really like to turn up the boost and make some more power so where would be good either near colchester or kent and what sort of work/prices would be involved? ideas please!

my car seems to be running a lot quicker the last few days in this weather... i can feel an improvement in response. i was on a roundabout today and a boxster was coming off given the big i am, i got around the roundabout and passed him as he was overtaking, showing him who the boss really was lol

Hi all Im running 14psi boost on (i think) what is a stock clutch. I've been caining the car over the weekend and now the clutch is slipping at high revs on high boost (works ok still on low boost). Due to the high tyre grip in the hot weather there was more pressure on the clutch than ever no i'm not really suprised. The biting point of the clutch pedal is right at the top and always has been so a new uprated clutch will be needed soon anyway but i was wondering if i could adjust the pedal to fix the problem on a temp basis or am i totally screwed?

Afternoon guys, I recently took the plunge and got myself a 300ZX. It came with the Ferrari tail light conversion. One thing I noticed was that there doesn't appear to be any reverse lights at all! I've heard a few whispers that Reverse lights are not part of the MOT but it seems a bit wierd not to have them! Is this something I can safely ignore (Except when reversing maybe) or should I investigate getting something put in. Cheers Guys!

You can get these bottle of stuff that you put in the oil prior to an oil change, run the engine for 5 mins then turn of and do the oil change with a lot more gunk coming out. Are these degunk things worthwhile. I ask as i have waited to long for an oil change and i will do one tonight but i would like to get as much crap out as possible.

Hey guys, I'm still sporting a bloody great dent in my front passenger wing. Anyone got one preferably in black but at this point i'll take any colour!! Hope some of you guys can help! Rich! Summers here!!!!! Yeah!!! :dance:

As summer is here anything we need to do to keep the cars running well.

Ant here (hunniepies dude). As with quite a few Z's i've heard of recently, we seem to have a power steering/hi cas prob with our Z. We found out wot the prob is and got the part but now need some advice !!! Does anyone know how i can change the main hose for the power steering without the engine coming out ??? Or if not where i could find a manual or advice on this !!!! Thanks :cool:
