Just had the 300 laser ligned and camber adjusted. no vibration, no more tyre wear. hooo ray lol :D

Has anyone done it? How easy is it? Is there any 'heating in the oven' like the rear units or are they designed to come apart and go back together? Cheers gents

Found these pipes that look a bit worn, does anybody know the part numbers and is it just a question of pulling the old ones off and putting the new ones on?? Or do I need to drain something first. Cheers in advance guys. :bow:

Can anyone advise me, I've got a full set of gold calipers and disks from a Nissan Skyline GTR34. Does anyone know what they're worth? I may consider selling. Cheers, Shaun

Does a dump valve dump the same on an auto like on a manual transmission???

Morning guys and gals! Does anyone know if the castor and camber specs on a 2+0 are the same as a 2+2? Ta, Simon

Monday 16th evening..having fun with a Mondeo on the duel carriage way only to have me overtake you at the roundabout. You turned into Berinsfield too.

does anyone know a website that shows how to replace the tubs on the zed? Can't seem to find one anywhere!! :headvswal

hi, im writing bout my brothers tt, it recently had a oil leak, well spirted oil out around battery / dipstick area but could tell where exactly it had come from, the oil pressure also dropped. the car as not been driven since, before this happened there was some popping from exhaust when coming off revs at bout 4500rpm. the car as had a aftermarket manual boost controller fitted by previous owner but no ecu chip which would most likely cause too much air at high revs and not enough fuel? causing the popping. it was pointed out that the oil is likely to have come from dipstick under pressure quite likely related to faulty pcv valves, also recommended to check was o…

Anyone heard of or tried these, any good?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JWR-STAINLESS-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-NISSAN-300ZX_W0QQitemZ8010425764QQcategoryZ38786QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

People tell me they can smell Optimax from the exhausts when I drive by or they are behind me, fuel consumption is just the usual for a TT and the ecu reports no faults. Cats are off as well, is normal? Car runs fine as well. Daz.

are the front brake discs different on a turbo to non turbo?

my time has come to face facts 1 if not both of my tubs are on there way out (smokey smokey tell passengers the big cloud of smoke behind me is off the tyres :) ) so gonna start lookin for a new pair the only thing is im on a budget of about a grand.gonna do the work myself never pulled a zed engine before but theres got to be a first time.what tubs am i gonna get for around that price?

if you put a permornace ECU in your car and then buy a engine management unit like the DTA one, does the new ecu become redundent, and is it worth changing from stock. Does anyone know how good pneumatic suspension is, as i head it acted like a progressive spring but dont know how it compaires to racing springs? cheers guys

hi guys just a quick question ? can you fit the wider profile rear wheels to a jap import 300zx or are the hubs different to the uk spec car??? regards wade

I am at my wits end at the moment with my Z. Just before christmas I spent a £1100 getting her serviced and checked over and a new set of stainless pipes fitted and a week before christmas (about 2 weeks after I had her back from southwestz in Bristol) she decided she was having the holiday off too! Initially I was lead to believe that it was the PTU that was at fault. But I have since tried another PTU (many thanks t-pot for sending me your PTU so I could test it) and it has not changed the fault at all. The symptoms are irratic idle revs and missfiring with much spluttering and no power. When I got it home I left it on the drive for the night and when I came t…

Guys Does anyone know how the car knows if the boot lid is open? My lid was open and slammed shut in the wind and now the car seems to think that a door is open when they are all closed. I can only assume that it is related to the boot slamming shut. This obviously causes me issues with my alarm etc... Can anyone help???? I would hate to think I had to take it to a Nissan main dealer...;-(

How do i stop my Z32TT from chewing up gearboxes (dont say fit a manual!) i have the uprated oil cooler fitted and it's still gone again!!The garage wont cover it under the warranty either even tho a new box was fitted 14 months ago! why do they do it and how can i further prevent it?any ideas :headvswal

How dificult is it to fit a new window in the passenger door ? Are there any detailed instructions anywhere around ?? Anyone in Plymouth that's done it b4 ??? All help greatfully recieved. :D

if you window trims were like mine and faded and looking a bit grey try this.. I used black boot polish..works a treat as it soaks into the trim and is waterproof and also once dry dosnt put black marks on anything that touchs it..just rub it on with a rag and rub it in..leave it to soak in for 10-20 mins..keep doing this till its black..mine took 3 coats to get it the black i wanted but looks brand new..I used it on the rear window trim, rear 1/4 window and side window sill trims, top windscreen trim...give it a go ! Made all the difference fixing up those small details!

Round about J22 southbound on the M5 going rather slowly.

Got to buy a new Heater Matrix by the looks of it, so just went into my local motor factors and was quoted £52 for a primera matrix which as far as we could see is the same one used in nearly all versions of this car, my question is, is there a better or uprated heater matrix available coz if i have to pull the dash out then i only want to have to do it once!! What would you buy??? Cheers Craig :bow:

heres a few questions: stage 3 turbo dynamics turbos, K+N induction,chipped, GReddy intercoolers, APS racing clutch and lightened flywheel, full hard pipe kit, full scorpion xhaust GReddy profec boost control running 1.0bar of boost, what sort of power u guys reckon? and how many psi is 1.0bar of boost? do u reckon it could safely run higher boost on standard (recently rebuilt) engine? what u think the next step should be mod wise?

Ok, im going to take the matrix out. (as per previous post about wet footwells :rant: ) Does anyone have any guides as to 'where to start" with regards to dash removal etc? Exactly how much of the dash do i take off? Is it just under the driver side i remove or the whole stereo surround etc? And why is the matrix earthed. Thanks in advance, :bow: Kersh.
