I need some advice please. My spoiler had paint cracks so I sanded down the paint and used P38 filler. I then smoothed it down with sandpaper as per norm. However there are hair line cracks in the filler which shows up when primed. Can anyone recommend any sort of putty mix that I can put on top of the filler for a smooth even finish ? Where can they be purchased and how much ? This is the first time I ever done this and I am getting there slowly but surely. Thanking you all in advance.

Are there any parts I should buy to replace while I do my suspension? Like bushes, wearable parts, nuts / bolts that shouldn't go back once removed? Not talking HICAS arms or big parts, just stuff to replace once removed. Cheeeers, Matt.

Hi, I know this may sound like a silly question. But, could a set of wheels from a Subaru fit a zed. I know that the stud diameter is different. But can you get adapters etc? Like I said, may be a silly question... but if you don't ask, you don't get..

Right... At present, I don't own a ZX, but I have sold my car and am ready to buy one. Now obviously, insurance can be a bitch on things like this so I was wondering if someone could tell me what to look out for when searching for a UK spec ZX?? As far as I am aware, a Fairlady is the import and most TT's are imports. Is that right? Anyway, basically, I am looking to buy a UK Spec Twin Turbo for UNDER £4k (if possible). Any help will gratefully appreciated!

Are these an easy job to replace?? Any particular one to go for?? Any links to fitting them?? :duffer:

It was at a friend of the familys garage (not a jap specialist with limited 300 knowledge) and being worked on as a background task to keep the cost down. After the first month i was told next week it'll be ready, next week, until last weekened (3 months later!) they turned around and held their hands up and said they cannot fix it. What they have done so far is fix the radiator and replace head gasket but cannot get all the pistons working. The other option when…
