I'm going to buy a cat-back. I'm considering greddy and hks... Among greddy you've got the SP2 and EVO2 and hks drager 1 & 2... Witch one will give the best sound and the most bhp gain on a turbo?

Does anyone have a manual for the HKS EVC series 1 controller? I can find one for the series IV but not 1 J

If you find nearly the perfect car, but it's an NA, and you want a TT, how much will a conversion to TT cost, if you get it professionally done by one of the Z experts? Just wondering if it's economically viable.

Hi I hit something on the side of the road at night, possibly a pothole or rock, which burst my tyre, dented the rim and also (according to my wheel guy) made the rim run offcentre, which he says he can't fix. Anyone know any way out for me to avoid forking out for four new rims? Thanks.

I want to replace my red rear bumper reflectors as one is cracked and thy look a bit poo IMO. I have seen the crystal clear ones but don't like them. I can get the opaque ones to match the indicator side repeaters, but, well, lets say they are a tad expensive. I have also seen that you can buy a replacement lens from the states for around $26 IIRC. I have been thinking about making something myself. I have heard of people making something out of an old florescent tube light diffuser and other things. Yesterday I came up with the idea of making a reflector out of the white part of front a number plate. What do you guys think and what else have other people…

Well, after buying and fitting my second hand exhaust I found that the middle box rattled and had a tiny crack on it. Now, I was planning on removing the cats but should I place a straight pipe in place of the middle box at the same time, will it be too loud as it's loud enough allready? Will the removal of midbox affect performance and fuel? Chiiiiarrs peeps

Silver Z , H reg ,spotted driving in EC2 yesterday about 2.30pm... anyones?

Hi, I have got a DVD player and screen off ebay, and want it installed. It's this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorized-Car-DVD-CD-MP3-TV-FMAM-DivX-player-7-LCD_W0QQitemZ5847856623QQcategoryZ67772QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I have been quoted between £80-£150 to install this in my zed. Is this too much or about right? Is it an 'easy' job? Cheers, Chris

I was in a red Zed flashing like mad, my first zed on zed action :dance:

OK, i'm not known for my calm temper on a good day, but today i lost the plot. Ordered a set of new rubber for the front of my car, went to have them fitted today, and when they brought them out, they looked bloody bald... the centre, had great depth of tread, but the side's were less than a third the depth (these are new tyres) is this a con, or a ploy to chew your tyres quicker, i can see no reason why the edges of a tyre should be any shallower than the middle. anyway, i told the guy to keep them, as they were crap, he said i would have to pay a handling charge, so i grabbed the first tyre off the rack, threw it at him and told him to compare the edges…

The light does not come on....What do I test first the fues or bulb...?? This fookin ZED....Every day I get in it summut has gone wrong... :(

as above the motor needs servicing and got couple of bits that need fitting had a look on the traders section but no joy... Thanx.

This is a poll on behalf of Karl"GeorgeDoors"300ZX regarding suggestions / advice on storage of his Z whilst he is off serving his Queen. Essentially there are two options I believe, please feel free to offer other options but we basically feel they are as follows. 1 - Store the car in a garage and once a week start her up for 10-15 minutes to run the fluids around the internals. (Open to suggestions on number of times to start her up and how long to run her for.) Or 2 - Store her in a garage and drain all fluids. (Not fully sure on extent of fluids to drain, ie just water and oil or the full hog, brakes, power steering, oil, water an anything people may …
