how strong is the smell of fuel supposed to me? mine is rediculous at the minute, really really bad. Any advise or should i purchase a fuel line kit

Question? I you had a few thousand pounds to spend on your engine and suspension and brakes how would you spend it? This is my dilemma! I am in the process of uprating the appearance of my 300zx lwb j-spec to the tune of around 12k and I find I have a tad left over. It has the usual after market exhaust, air filter and jwt chip but the problem is a I know what I like the look but I am befuzzled as what to do with the rest. please help me with your ideas.

Saw you on tuesday night mate, you had a headlight bulb out :tongue: think it was your passenger side.lol Car looks nice dude.

I'm sure you have heard this before, but i was offered 2 sets of brake discs ie. front and rear from my local Nissan dealer. He wants 280 euro for the front pair and 184 euro for the rear pair. Is this a reasonable price or should i be buying aftermarket items such as 3G or Brembo etc. I thought they sounded cheap but I'm not sure :)

Grey one (H Reg) parked off West Green Road next to the barbers today at 14.00. Carcept spoiler.

Any recommendations on what pads to use all round ? I have Brembos. Also is there any difference between JAP Spec and UK Spec pads ?

help me please my bargain shedX is getting noisy at the back end, been to have exhausts checked, not blowing anywhere??? exhaust seems to be a custom stainless de-cat jobby and think the baffles may be fooked??? can they be replaced or do i need a new system??? btw back boxes are sealed unit not removable baffles many thanks murf :headvswal

quick question.. are the gearsticks supposed to have a bend towards the bottom? just mine has a slight bend in. thought it might be for a reason thats all.

I am a bit confused here thus someone please elaborate. I have a stock spoiler with the black strip going underneath it from end to end. Now if I was to fit a perspex cover, will that replace the strip or will I need to get rid of the entire spoiler for it to fit. Basically, that damn strip is a nuisance and I have replaced it a few times but it always seems to look kak as it bubbles up etc. I need to find a solution to this. Thanks.

Have a Cobra 7925 on the silver zed, but in need of instruction manual for all its functions and setup. Anyone know of an online Manual or have one themselves they would'nt mind scanning the important pages from ? I think the 7925 and 7928 are very similar, but most Cobra alarm functions are controlled in the same way.

Hi :dance: :dance: As she is off the road for a month or so for improvments, I have decided to do some rust protection. All the interior panels are off so I thought it right to treat her to a good coat of interior waxoyling :) On my other car, I paid a professional guy 300 pound to do this, so I thought I would give it a crack myself this time as I would rather put that money into a new set of rear lights :cool: Have any of you guys done this to your Zeds?? If so, is there any pitfalls or places I need to concentrate on??? I was also gutted to find that my boot has been leaking from the drivers side rear light of all places :cry: :cry: It has rusted q…

alright bud, i noticed in items for sale section that your selling the fog light covers. is the one for the drivers side have the hole for the screw in it? if so ill have it been trying to find one for ages. couldnt reply in other section cause am only registered user :headvswal must send rich a cheque and join :slap: :slap:

Hi all. As car has been parked up on the drive over the last few (3) COLD weeks without moving I have noticed white "salad cream" like substance on my oil filler cap. Now I have recently had a new engine in which has only done about 800 miles since full rebuild. I have been assured that all genuine Nissan gaskets and parts have been used. What do you guys think it could be, condensation in the engine due to not driving it, or somthing more sinister like the head gaskets going etc? Had all sorts of trouble with her from the start so hope it is nothing. Fingers crossed.

After some work on my engine, I have reconnected my boost controller (Profec E01) : with BC off, I reach 20 psi ! NC is connected to compressor outlet, COM is connected to the WG top port and WG low port is connected to intake manifold. I have tried different places to take the boost (intake manifold, compressor outlet, ...) or tried 2 different places for the low and top ports, but no difference. The 3 solenoids ports (COM, NC and NO) work perfectly. With BC off, NC is really closed : I have to disconnect the WG top port to reach my natural WG preset ~10 psi. Why do I have 20 psi when I simply connect WG top ports to the closed NC port ? It's crazy !…

im looking for a car lift but cant decide whether to go for a 2 or 4 post. the only disagvantage i can see with the 2 poster is the fact that you couldnt track the wheels easily because the posts are in the way and the weight isnt supported on the wheels. the four post lift could prove to be a pain in the arse when welding and stuff because the ramps are normally wide and bulky. can any one fill me in with some other pros and cons of each? and also if you know of one for sale? will consider single or 3phase. Cheers, Fraser

The answer is probably no but can i put my ZX in a car wash without the rear spoiler getting ripped off or taking damage?

ne one know where i can get a good deal on a rad for my z non turbo :headvswal

Hi I am considering buying a '92 twin turbo auto with 50k miles that has 'done' its big ends. What are the implications? New set of shells and off you go......or replacement egine? Is the 300zx prone to bearing failure? Regards Johnb

Hi all. Ok , the silver finish on my winderscreen wipers (the actual metal arm) are all fading quite a bit - not rusting just faded, does anyone know or has anyone already attepmted at spraying them - silver? If so what kind of spray etc? Thanks Ed

This may be a no brainer but I work away for 2 weeks at a time. Meaning that I only see the Z 2 days a fortnight :cry: . Everytime I come back the brakes are ceased. Is there anyway of preventing this occuring? Mines is an Auto so I just leave it in Park with the Handbrake off. TIA, Dave G
