Hi, Are the side windows actually tinted?? If so - not very much - and how do we determin the tint - for example - is it related to the colour of the windscreen sunstrip tiny (in my case blue)? Or related to the body colour (in my case red)? Or is the data in the VIN? Need to replace the drivers side window urgently and need some help guys? AndyGP :bow:

Now don't laugh at my lack of mechanical knowledge guys..(yeah right..) but I have a suspension question... I am thinking of changing the suspension on my car. I will need new shocks so that is simple but what elso do I need to buy? I gues the big springy things round the shocks will need to go if I want to lower her slighly!!! I want to do it as cost effectively (cheap..) as possible so will likely get shocks from Luke but what else would you guys recommend??? See I told you I was mechanically challenged??? Oh yeah...and what are coilpacks and what do they do?...lololol :x:

Hi, Im looking at 300zx's at the moment (twin turbo), although I don't wanna spend more than 3.5k, and want something un-modified ideally. I'm off to look at a swb version advertised on the autotrader website tomorrow evening, any ideas of stuff I should be looking for to make sure I don't get a lemon? (other than the usual paperwork, service history, etc). I'm new to z's so any advice would be great! Rob

The reason i,m asking is after having my alloys refurbished i fitted Pirelli P Zero,s all round , i knew my tracking was out so i got it into work and did a 4 wheel alighnment , rear track was slightly out and the front alot out , camber and castor was in tolerance , sorted the tracking , job done i thought. When driving now at slow speeds my car seems to want to follow every bump and hollow in the road , the steering pulls from side to side trying to follow the undulations in the road surface , its quite alarming Would wheels with the wr…

If someone has a parts list cdrom could you post the fuel filler/tank page for a swb, so I can identifie a pipe I have drilled through The disk I have dose not work :rolleyes: Many thanks Allan

Fitted some silcone tubing today... but can't see anywhere that uses 8mm?? I sort of remember someone sayong where it goes, but can't find it!! Someone please tell me - it's been doing my nut! Rich

Just drilled through a fuel pipe!! if you remove the piller covers on a SWB there is a crossmember on the passenger side. I have just put a 4mm hole through this into hopfully what I think is the fuel vent pipe! not the fill pipe. can someone confirm this is so. Many thanks Allan

But must be 35mm min - 40mm max. A kind of plastic/rubbery one would be ideal - but any idea's? Thanks :bow: would be a touch if I could find one.
