Hi Everyone, Good to meet everyone who was down Bolney yesterday, what a day.... Some one from the forum said that my exhaust system was a Blitz system, I have attached some pics if anyone can confirm this?

Whats the maximum offset you can have? is 46 rear and 42 front unfeasible?

Hi I'm new, Right, yesterday I picked up my zed from storage which its been for the last 3 months and drove home, travelled 110 miles then got home without a problem, brakes felt good and sharp. Then after tea I went out to get some fuel from the local shell garage, on the way there the brakes felt rather spoungey, on the way back home the brakes deteriorated to full failure, the pedal travels right to the floor with no stopping power at all! At this I returned to the garage and checked the brake fluid which was below the low mark, so I topped up to max, the brakes pumped up ok so I left, when I went to brake again the brakes completely failed again, they pump up…

guys, it appears my maf is dead (or dieing) but before i commit to buying a new one i was after a conzult / someone willing to let me bolt their maf onto my car to check that it solves the hessitation. Be few beers in it for any help... also anyone got a spare TT maf that works they want to sell assuming mine is dead... car still drives so i can travel to someone fairly local if that helps.... cheers all

Has anyone got the figures for front and rear track of the Z ?? Ive looked on the Excellent Aussie and NZ sites without success.

As the power steering has a return pipe, does this mean that it is self bleeding. Ive cut into the hydraulic system to fit a Hicas Eliminator & then closed it up again, if I top up the power steering fluid will that be enough ????

fitted indiglo dials and temp gauge dead? didnt touch needle...ant ideas?

Does anyone run them on here? Basically my rims sit too tucked into the arches...now I'm fitting my new ones the week after next, but I think they are the same offset. Basically, I want to fit some spacers to kick them out into the arches a little bit more. I want this sort of stance.... What would be advisable for spacer size then? Can normal studs hold out an extra 5 - 10mm?? Ta

I'm looking at replacing my stock filters with a single unit such as this one. http://www.dta-motorsport.co.uk/index2.htm Would I be correct in assuming that I just strip the airflow meter from the standard airbox, this connects as before to the fixed ducting, and the Apexi connects to the rear of the airflow meter? Thanks David

hi guys, my plan is too buy 92 tt 300zx manual early next year, however i have come across a 91 tt manual at a salvage's today. the engine, manual box, tubs and basically all the rest besides the shell is available. the car is a J reg import, and the clocks are still in km. the odometer is reading 120km. the engine looks clean and im really interested in it as an engine to take apart and re build over the summer as a project to get to know the engine ready for when i buy mine. can anyone advise my on how much this is worth roughly? their asking around £400 for engine and tubs, but i kno i can get them down. any tell tale sales that the engine is on the way out th…

hello got in car this morning started it up and the fan kicked in straight away as if it was overheating.i turned off the car and checked the water level and everything was fine.drove it approx 20 mile and started to overheat so i stopped and found that my radiator has droped down slightly causing the cap to press against the frame next to it.could this have caused it to loose water and overheat if it was pushing the cap away?it took about a litre and a half of water then the fan went off and is running ok now.cant see how the radiator is mounted to see what has made it drop.any ideas on any of this?

Hi, Just got my first zed today and I'm compiling my stuff to fix list! The dials have been changed from jap to uk spec and when the needle has been put on the rev counter the ignition was off and it was put on at zero so when the ignition is on it rises to about 1000 and over reads. How easy is it to get to the needle to move it? Secondly the tracking is out and the front tyres are showing high inner edge wear. Can the tracking be done by a normal garage? I.e is it the same as normal cars. Many thanks, more questions to come! Ed

Spotted you on Thursday and Today, In Redruth while driving my Red Z... Was a lady driving on Thursday when I saw you and you waved!!!! :dance: Was behind you today and flashed just before I turned off....

Couple of questions re cooling, I have a Koyo rad to go on soon but noticed a lot of posts about Kenlowe fans, would this fan be an improvement? any pro's and cons for changing to a Kenlowe fan. I have a UK car, which has been converted to a manual. Would a Stillen or Nismo oil cooler be an advantage? They claim 300% more efficiency. Thanks Barry
