I recently imported a 1990 80K tt,for the first week no problems at all,i get the alarm fitted taken it down the paint shop to book it in to get it looking perfect,takes it to the exhaust shop and here is where it goes all wrong. I have a system fitted from the down pipes back removing the cats,next day the thing is blasting out light blue smoke on tickover :headvswal.Ive read the seals in the turbos have gone weak and by the reduce in back pressure is what is causing the smoke,so if i replace the cats will it cure the problem or am i looking at replacing the turbos?

Anyone used black wire mesh in their aftermarket bumpers? Barry

Now, before everyone thinks I've gone crazy and lost the plot, just hear me out on this one. Back in the 80s when the punk look and leg warmers and leotards were in fashion, some of us (not all) tinted out our Capris, XR2s and Mantas front headlamps with this shinny stuff that you sprayed on. While the lights were off they gave a mirrored look. Any ideas what that spray or tint was called ?

Spotted you around 16:00 on Uxbridge road heading towards the town centre, I think the Mrs was driving. :)

Saw you coming up the slip road onto the A40, westbound, we flashed each other :dance: , then stopped side by side in the traffic light. Just wanted to say hi and was wondering if you are registered on the forum? :smash: Z

Hey guys, just bought some beautiful 17" wheels from wheelmania. They are second hand and were originally on a Supra. The tyres are, 235-front 255-rear The guy has told me I'm gonna need spacers for the front pair 10-15mm thick? Is this right as sounds like a lot? Also will I need longer bolts for this? Ta in advance

Has anyone got any pics of their engine bay, after fitting the above ? The pic on Smithy's site is quite small

Hi All :cool: I know this is VERY much a long shot but............ Does anybody know where I can buy a set of centre caps and the holding pins for the Autostrada Modena Ferrari Replicas??? I have one cap and pin left, but the missing wheels are really starting to bother me :( :( :( Even a good replacment set would be fine. Does anyone know any alternatives or ANY caps and pins that would fit? Even longar shot, but if anyone wants to part with theres I would pay silly money for a set. Anyway, any help as always is very much appreciated :bow:

Hello, I'm from holland and drive a 300zx TT LWB and yes I've got a problem :( A week ago my car wouldn't start. Appears that my positive side of the battery was loose. I reconnected the cable and started the car. Problem now is that my "Check Engine" light came on and the car drives like shit. And when I only turn my key on +15 my fuelpump starts to prime, but when I take out my keys completely.. IT STILL KEEPS PRIMING. It won't stop till I start the car. :wack: I went to the dealer and did a Conzult check.. No problems there. "check engine" light came off, so I was pleased... BUT.. Then suddenly it came on again.. .. And everytime I remove the p…

My bonnet cable has snapped, does anybody have any tips on how to get it open easily ! :headvswal

I want to get my old tweed replaced, can anyone who has done it give any advice? I would like the ones from zcentre but £200 is a lot at the mo... Who has done it and did you do it yourself? Is there a cheaper option?

Eibach sells 2 part # for the 300zx pro-kit in US : US Turbo : 6320.140 US NA : 6319.140 As everybody knows, US turbo model is a 2-seaters US NA is a 2+2 Eibach doesn't make a kit for Europe. The overall weight and weight balance is clearly not the same on our EURO Turbo 2+2 than on US models. Which part # do you use on our Euro cars ?

I can not recall the last time i had an enjoyable drive in my car, there has always been something or another, got in it today to go to work, and missing and farting like a twat.. back firing, clouds of black smoke from the unburnt fuel, and generally pissing me off.... time to burn the fooker, ive thrown enough cash at it over the last 7 months, and im about all lost of interest in the ******* thing........ ive just stood for 20 mins in the chuffing snow, trying all connectors, coil packs the lot, and still the ****er wont run tidy.
