Hi all newbe to the site ? Brief history... I have a 1991 manual UK spec tt, it's almost hit 70k miles with good service history, I have owned the car for nearly 2 years, in this time I have been trying to get things up to 100% e.g all the rear set up tie bars etc... Anything that looked slightly corroded I replaced, bodywork wise the car is in good condition apart from the 1 rear arch witch is just staring to show signs off corrosion. ( I am looking for some 1 to do the work but most seem reluctant ) Upgraded parts wise it is standard other than a cat back exhaust hks air filter and upgraded intercoolers, I have groves updated discs coming in the next few we…

Trying to value my slicktop, not going into why but the concept of selling has come up, It's a 95 twin turbo manual slicktop Most people know of it on here, n300 swb, Can you guys help me work what I should be asking for it. As zed prices seem all over the place. Has new Bridgestone tyres, 3" z1 catback and the front brake disc and pads replaced along with a few minor changes in my ownership, runs and drives well, only real fault is the odometer doesn't work. Thanks.

Is it possible to fix it with a new part or is it a bodge job :'( hmm cant podt a pic. Will try when I get home. Only on my phone.

Well a conversation with Slick Pete at a recent track event put me in contact with a very helpful chap from Nissan. The reason was unrelated to what im about to say but during our email conversation I thought I would ask if he could help me find a vary rare thing indeed. The "Thing" is the original dealer sales brochure for the 99 spec version R. I have a copy of an early 90's brochure and they are a very nice addition to the collection however given how few of these Version R cars exist I thought finding that elusive brochure would be an impossible task. So I was very surprised when this gent replied and said they have a cupboard with old sales stuff in it and afte…

Hi Guys, I am in the middle of changing my PAS pump as it is leaking from the front. All the power hoses are in good order. My Q is when fitting the new one & the hoses that attach where can I get the gasket & washers from? Can or should I also use Blue sealing compound? Any advice please it is a PITA job!

Had to take a double take at this pic on FB:w00t:

I want to order a new "Nissan Fairlady Z" boot-strip decal as mine is extremely faded. ConceptZ have them in bronze or silver, which one should originally be on my car? (2000 JDM) https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=14219 https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=14220 Can post a picture later if it helps but you really can't make it out very well. I thought they were just white.

As you know I have listed two quite amazing zeds over the past few days, and I have received some incredible comments from the members here regarding my cars and indeed my position about becoming a trader here. I have also been asked to source cars for individuals which I am already on the case. However no one as yet has made any noises about buying or even looking at the two I currently have for sale, maybe I am just being impatient! The whole project for me relies on turnaround to obtain regular cars, so if I have placed myself in the (too perfect ) category for cars then any feedback would be gratefully appreciated. I mean would I be better off getting lower priced car…

Ok we know the usual coil pack spark plug but I have had a weird jumping from cylinder to cylinder drop. Started out as cylinder 4 not running. Checked loom connection, removed coil pack. Gave it a clean, cleaned sparkplug. Plugged it all back in. Still not working. Checked the injector with srewdriver ( wasn't working) could not here a thring. Gave the connection a bit of a wiggle Bobs you uncle. Took it for a spin. Zoom fast as you would expect. As I returned home just as I was pulling in the driveway it felt like the cylinder had dropped again. Checked cylinder 4 and everything was working. Could here injector working. No problem. So I went round them all started …

Hi all, I thought I would put a post up describing my thoughts on the recent work I have carried out on my car. It all started with a slipping clutch, which was inivitable as the previous owner had suggested I replace it because it had slipped with him... It lasted nearly 2 more years including 5 track days before it gave up the ghost, so it did itself proud. I did some research into what clutch I should go for, and what else I should do while I had the car on ramps, I generally daily drive the car, as well as track days, so it needed to be something strong but not too snappy. Noel (noz) kindly sourced the stage 2 competition clutch for me, and I went for …

Red lwb z very low and sounded nice as you past me by the chip shop

I am sure 'some' know and some may have guessed that I don't actually have BBS LM fitted to my Z. Despite never advising that I actually have them, I also have never dispelled that! They are in fact replicas. There are a lot of differences and I can spot replicas a mile off! The story is that I used to have a lovely set of 18" Advan Sienna 3 piece forged wheels. Alas, these were a bitch to maintain as they needed polishing after pretty much every wash and was partly the precursor to my fear of taking my Z anywhere near the rain (well, it's always been like that). The intention was always to get genuine BBS LM, but in the interim, I got some new replica wheels to tide…

Hi all, Has anyone had problems with the headlight not sitting correctly across the bonnet line? I changed my originals as I had a spare set of head lights that I had a few mods done to (Internally only). The top of the lights that meet the bonnet doesn't stay flush. I've removed the headlights today and looked at to brackets that appear to be straight as I thought they could be bent. Any ideas? Thanks Dan

Anyone got one going spare please?

Right trying to fit some new roof trims see picture, below. My questions is how on earth do you put the grey trim onto those clips? Do you fit the mounting lugs into the trim off the vehicle and then push and slide the clips/trim into place? I have nearly got there by sliding the trim onto the white fixings, but I can not get the last end cap to then slide into postition into the end of the grey trim.
