Do they make much difference to the handing and tighten the car up? Is there really that much difference between cheap versions i.e - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Nissan-300ZX-Fairlady-Z32-Front-Strut-Brace-Bar_W0QQitemZ8061504100QQcategoryZ40192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and the more expensive types? :confused:

Can this be set using Datascan, by viewing the timing indicator on the laptop? Thanks David

can anyone tell me if there are any markings on the standard pistons? i have my engine stripped at the moment and the pistons have markings on the crown and i not sure if they standard or not. the markings are 2 WYD 30P1 05..... any clues to these markings will be greatfully recieved.

after some photos of a black zed with the 99spec Front Bumper on .as i dont know to get this or the stillen one. how much lower is this to a standerd bumper cheers

My zed started boosting a wee bit over the 13 psi the controller was set to, so at the boat chunk and i lowered the settings on the controller to keep it at 13 ish, just took her out and shes trying to boost upto 15 with the lower settings. Even when i turn the controller off i get a boost of about 14 psi when i should be seeing around 9. I think ive eliminated the soleniod as if i give it 12v dc to the connecter, its clicking like it should. Any ideas appreciated.

coming from braintree towards chelmsford on a trailer looked kitted up??

I have 3 defi gauges in link system with a control unit. The gauges have been working fine but in the last day they are all over the place! The turbo boost is going nuts and every so often all 3 gauges just randomly turn themselves off and on! I know it sounds like a dodgy earth or power but i cant trace a problem anywhere! If one gauge is dodgy does it bring the others down also as they are linked together? Any advice is welcome

Just thought i'd try again as i've had no luck really! Looking for a NSF winf as some *&%(&*$&^^@{}~*** drove into it a few weeks back and gave me a nice fat dent :( Hope you guys can help! Rich

Started to run on five cylinders last week and wouldnt go back to six. Checked coil packs and no 2 was doing nothing i.e when car was running taking it off didnt adjust revs. Went over to Z Tech and was getting fuel and spark but compression test showed to be very low (130 if i remember correctly) and on no 1 was even lower, i think 100. Anyway back home i came and suddenly it started running on 6 again and felt like nothing was wrong. This morning i have taken her out and refilled with Tesco 99ron, on way home she dropped back to five then after a few mins back up to 6 again. Could this be anything silly or is it time to rebuild the engine?

well as i havent had any offers on the car im going to do some more work on it. i intend to take the gearbox out and do a complete refurb on the plates and bearings, hopefully mike feeny can supply it for me. just need as much information from those who have removed and replaced the gearbox, from those of you who have stripped a gearbox and refurbed also. im due to buy a tt manual box of one of the guys here to practice on first. before i do mine. so any info or help would be great, also any help getting the fooker out would be good also!! i can supply copious amounts of food, and drink oh and i can pay petrol money laos cos im nice like that. i h…

I came up behind you and beeped. You beeped back. Nice J reg TT in blue. I was in a matching blue NA.

ok sorry if im being stupid but is there a fuse for the passenger window anywhere one minute it worked and now it dont mind you the car has stood in one place for quite a while!!

There was a bit of interest in the polished plenum I offered Syed the other day, I've just heard back from the guy who did that one and he has 3 more left, I am not looking to make a single penny on these or do this as part of my normal business,(however feel free to buy me a burger at JAE :p ) so this maybe a one off I dunno, BUT if anyone wants one of these, they are £240 delivered. Delivery takes approx 8 days to me and they are not on an exchange basis, that said if someone posts their old one to me, I'll see what kinda job/price my own polishers can do ;) If interested, either say here or PM me, if paying by paypal, please take into account the 4% charges otherw…

Hello all, I'm new to ZX cars, and last saturday i flew and picked one up and drive it 14 hours back, the car drove great, great power, no stalling, started up fine etc. got home parked it for 2 days since its been raining, and today finally i got to drive it, when... the car started driving really bad, like is bogging down, not getting air or something? Im not getting any check engine light or nothing? can you please help me out here? if i cruise on low rpm's like 2500 it feels like is driving rought, with a rumble feel thru the whole car, shaky kind of with a rumble, i don't know exactly how to describe it. please help! I don't even know where to start checking?…

I've bee nthr proud owner of my Z for almost a week now but the one huge downside to the car is the really REALLY bad ride. No matter the road surface I get chucked all over the car are pretty much any speed. It's particularly bad at 80+ mph when my rear actually left the seat and I thought the car was going to take off. The car has been lowered within an inch of it's life and the suspension feels very hard so I expected a rough ride but this is almost undrivable. I've no idea what suspension is on it as it was bought already lowered but my question is - is the ride generally tough on the the standard suspension and if it is then it's probable that it's just been mad…

I’m looking for an affordable boost controller and am currently looking at the Greddy Profec B-SPEC2 or the Blitz DUAL SBC spec-S, does anyone have any comments on either, or a recommendation? Thanks David

Hi guys, Did a search and got some nice info regards fitting rear seat belts to my Zed. I'd like to ask those that have done it how easy it is to fit them and how they got on fitting a baby car seat? I've just ordered the belts from zcentre which should arrive tomorrow so any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

Hi I have a Jspec tt auto and the Cruise control wont kick in below 50 mph, is there any way of changing this?

I've been loosing coolant for a while now and have finally found the leak on the pipes to the matix at the back of the engine,a common fault i think.Does anybody sell these on here?And also my top up bottle leaks half way down the spout i pulled it out and looks like there should be an "o" ring but there isn't !
