Saw a white zed, twin turbo (frontbumper was anyway), totally stock on the outside, blacked out rear lights. St Johns Hilll (wandworth) seen at 6:40today

Is it normal for the belts on a lightened pulley set to squeel? It does eventually go, but is very annoying. Thanks Barry

just wondering how you get all the panels off on the top half of the interior, the windscreen pillars, panels around the quaterlights, roof panel, ect. do they just pull off or are their hidden screws. cheers si

J7 *** coming out of Bath just past the Odd Down park and ride just after 4.0pm this afternoon. Almost flashed my lights, then remembered that I was in my golf!! P.s. Looks like the beast could do with a wash!!

Red Zed in Sainsbury's, Stockton on Tees today. Reg C17.

generally speaking how long will the turbos last in the zed. I'm only asking roughly! cheers

on my previous Z it was simple - remove the screw at the bottom of the mirror - but on my current Z (97NA) there's no screw, either side. And judging by the look of the hole, there's never been a screw in there (no pun intended). Have Nissan changed the way the glass is removed on later models? Anyone know how to remove the glass? I'm trying to get to the retaining screws that hold the plastic surround - need to replace a broken one. Any ideas/help always appreciated. Cheerz Jack

Help :headvswal :headvswal

About 20 mins ago on the ring road.

Greg where did you get that from I've got a single tailpipe and that looks sweet!

anyone know where i can get a set of white speedo faces for my 180mph jap clocks.

Is there a how2 for replacing the 2 part gearlever boot and bush? Just got my parts super-quick from MJP. :hyper: Have done a search, but can't find it. Thanks. :)

Will the turbos from a uk spec car fit my jap spec 300? help appreciated

As above, as today when I finnaly managed to pull my wiper arms off I noticed there was a fair bit of play in the passenger side wiper arm?? I have looked into the gap where the mechanism is but nothing really jumps out at me to why it wobbles so. Some times I used to notice when the wipers where on the passenger side one would come dowm over the scuttle when I turned the wipers off.?? Thanks in advance guys.

As above...is there any reason why you can't take out the button/lock that prevents you removing your keys? Henry

I was at the head office of The Derbyshire Building Society today and there was a Red ZX parked out front in a Disabled bay H683POJ, Its a members as the club sticker was in the rear drivers side quarter window????

Sorry if all these questions have been covered elsewhere, but I did do several searches and couldn't really find any decent answers :o Are there any differences between the gearboxes in turbo and NA Z32's? Or are they identical? I've been told by a few people that there're several areas of the Z32 chassis which is basically identical to the R32 Skyline and other Nissan platforms. Can anyone tell me exactly what parts are interchangeable? Muchas gracias :D

Is there anything it can be other than a heater matrix? :headvswal

I know it's not a Z but has anyone tried this (more conventional) type of DV fittment? Don't see why it wouldn't work albeit a bit tight for space, but atleast they'd be in view.

Well just as soon as i thought everything was sorted, i filled my nos bottle up and had a play today and the clutch has started to slip! :( its a new-ish AP racing clutch (only a few 1000 on it) now im hoping it just needs adjusting! its been a few years since i last did that on my Z... so does anyone have the link or info on what way to turn the shaft under the pedal? as i have forgotten! and has anyone got any other ideas as to what it could be if this doesn't sort it!?

I have these all round on my japanese import ZX and Zedworld who drove the car said the car is light on the back which i agree. Anyone know of these tyres and if they are any good? They seem to have bugger all grip in the wet. I am tempted to get some popular Goodyear Eagle tyres.

Guys, anyone know where I can get it done in Essex???

after doing a search re the crankshaft, iv found a few threads where people have expressed concerns of lightened pulleys and flywheels affecting the resonance of the crank. :confused: this did seem to be a small possibility. I have a set of unorthodox pulleys and a fidanza flywheel to go on - could someone explain whether a balanced crank will be a benefit in this situation? just trying to work out if this is worth doing or if im just overcomplicating things! ta mowgs
