OK guys, I have just replaced no1 from Zed Centre, see link :- http://www.zcentre.co.uk/suspension/frontbushes.htm The driver side one was leaking it's silicone. I actually fitted the whole arms with the bushes already fitted but I'm still getting tramlining, steering following lines in the road and the steering wheel sometimes slightly left and sometimes slightly right to go dead straight :rant: So, what would be recommended to be checked/replaced next CheerZ Paul

As Im having a lot of work done on the exterior of the car, I need to update the interior. As it stands at the moment, its standard grey uk tweed trim and seats. I have seen the kits on ebay, designed for RHD cars made in Italian leather. Are these worth while? Are these easier to fit because they are shaped, or is it just the same as getting the material from the market. Also, has anyone done this with another material ie Alcantara? Thanks Barry

Having some difficulty removing the rear brake drums from a V reg micra.. the manual also says there's two holes on the drum that i can screw 2 M8 bolts into but the only two holes i can find aren't threaded and on of them is for the wee lever for the stop plate thingy.. any ideas? it's pretty damn stuck.

....the simplist of things. But what am I doing wrong? First time I've taken any of the interior appart. Have taken the small trim tabs off and unscrewed all 4 screws. The top comes out, but the bottom doesn't seem to want to pop off. I don't want to be too brutal with it... ?!IU^%R&^%" :x:

I'M LOOKING FOR ADVICE. I've a series 2 lwb jap auto tt. i was driving at aprox 50 mph when i lost power. the car went to the nearest Nissan dealer for a diagnostic check and i was informed that the cambelt was broken. I was then told that they don't do work on imports. There are not many Z32 experts in Ireland. I've been told that the valves will be bent by one person and that everything should be ok by another person, and a third person said it's luck of the draw. Should i let my mechanic mate do the cambelt even though he's never done one before or should i trailer it over to Zedworld at great expense to myself fo ferries etc. Love the club by the way. there always se…

Hi folks Glad to make your acquaintance . Quick intro : over the years , and with other makes in between , I`ve had a 260Z ( crap choke ! ) , 280 ZX , and 300zx Turbo Z31 . But when the 300ZX TT arrived , I WANTED one , just as you all must have . Fast forward , for any readers still awake and even remotely interested , I got one four days ago . Bought it from a one-man garage ( which was very well equipped , not a slum ) . Anyway , to the point : I truly sensed this was an honourable young guy...well-spoken , helpful and flexible . He had bought the J-Reg TT Auto from a regular customer , who had done some work on the car himself...upgraded brakes , replaced…

Has anyone fitted a bra to their Z ? Just wanted to know the pros and cons. Any comments ? Sy.

I have read this lot: Fuel line kits. SAFETY FIRST:- Please release pressure in the fuel line system before you remove fuel lines. Take note of where the 2 main fuel lines from filter go to across the plenum, e.g the regulator and fuel rail. Remove all rubber hoses and metal fuel lines across plenum, keeping the small bolt that secures the metal lines to the plenum. Fit the 2 new high pressure braided lines, pushing well on to regulator and fuel rail. Position across the top of the plenum where the old lines were before and with the 2 rubber lined P-Clips, put each clip around each hose so that the openings face each other, lining up the bolt hole so that they a…

I followed you through Mangotsfield to Staple Hill, (I was in my work van).

Hi guys, Just gone out into the garage and found my Zeds battery is dead again. It's my own fault, as I haven't started it up for weeks. Any suggestions on a good battery charger as I've seen a few and some are 4amp 6amp 8amp 12 amp! :confused: I ain't got a clue, what spec do I need? ta

Hi, Does anyone know how to remove aliasing on a picture, is it possible at all? I need to improve the quality of the graph below: I can replace the text, so that's not an issue. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Shaun

The above stuff is recommended for sealing the water pipes flanges when refitting them, but I cannot find the stuff anywhere, I tried Ebay but the only suppliers for the stuff is America. If somebody could either direct me to a UK Supplier or an equivalent. Thankyou.

Is it Zed compatible? There's an RX7 which is due to be seized by customs for non payment of duty. Now it's been sat for a year now, but has a gorgeous set of 18" Stila split rims on it. Been talking to a few of the dockers here about having them and paying the small amount of duty on them. Would it work stud pattern size?

I've got my rad out at the moment whilst doing the front water pipes and I have noticed that the condensor for the air conditioning must have a huge affect on the radiators efficiency as it sits in front of the radiator, restricting air flow considerably. My air con has been junked already (no compressor etc), so is there any reason I should leave the condensor in place? I'm sure if I take it out the car will run better/cooler, this can't be a bad thing considering how hot the engine runs. :confused: :confused: Anyone out there removed theirs? Thanks, Gareth
