My driveshaft bearings sound like they are approaching the end of their days. Before they reduce themselves to their component parts I would like to replace them. I have promised myself that as parts wear out I will replace stock with performance parts and have been looking at some one piece drive shafts from http://www.z1motorsports.com/index.php?cPath=1_6_11 Before I order I thought Id ask to see if they are available in the uk as I havent been able to find them, anyone ? They also do a transmision mount upgrade by Nismo.

Red G Plate Zed in llanelli monday evening ???

anyone from here?

Can anyone recommend anywhere to work on my Z in Essex, near Colchester? I'm new to the area, and I'd prefer a tip from any native Essex men. Cheers, Chris

Hi there, not sure if I have a problem or not. From cold, I always let the engine warm up before I boot it. The first 10 minutes or so after the engine's warmed up if the boost kicks in theres a small haze of greyish smoke in the exhaust gases... once i've been driving for over 10 mins or so & its done this a couple of times it stops. I assume a litle oil is leaking past oil seals overnight & gets burnt off in this initial smoking, which doesnt then happen again til its been stood. Or is there something worse going on? For information, the oil is semi-synthetic with grade exactly as reccomended in the handbook. Any ideas would be great thanks... :duffer:

I have done a search for this but have not found anything so here we are asking questions again! The autobox on my Z is slowly dying. I know this and have accepted the fact. At the moment I can drive around the problem but obviously need to get it sorted. I have found a few places offering boxes but due to past experience I would like to make sure they are the correct unit. To do this the part number and any other details would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1990 Twin and it has the little buttons on the dash for power and hold if that makes any difference. Thanks all!

When buying leather/ PVC i hear you need 3mtrs, but what width?? sorry if this is a dumb question, just never bought fabric before. Cheers Mike

This is my car, it a UK model from 1993 and is a series 2 the 2 lights where you would normally see the fog lights do nothing at all, what are these lights supposed to do on a uk spec car? also the lights on the outside of these are always on like side lights, however these are also the indicators. Im just really confusled :confused:

I finally got round to having my falken tyres as recommend by guys here and damn they good... the front grips so much better at all speeds and in the wet!! problem was the car was slightly pulling to the left before, payed for a track and balance with the new tyres but the problem got worse with wheel wobble above 40 and nolonger pulling left but the steering wheel biased over to the right a fair amount to go straight... went back and they rebalanced the wheels (removing the wobble...although if they had done this correctly first time... :headvswal ) and re-tracked the car again... the steering wheel is less baised to the right now (although still not centere…

hey guys would anyone be able to give me the genuine nissan part number for the 60000 mile service kit if there is one or if not the part numbers seperate for the offending items that should be changed :D my car is a jap import twin turbo 1991 model if that makes a difference

Red Z in Ystradowen at 12.00 on the 4th, just caught it passing me on the bridge

Does anyone have a template (or ideas) for the cutting of the rear panels when fitting the strut (as in the pic below) + a nice neat way to 'Finish' it off? TIA guys :D :bow:

hi guys i normally use castrol rs 10w-60 and i am due an oil change. does anyone know if castrol edge 10w-60 replaces the RS oil? if so has anyone tried it in a zed? should i just stick with rs? i have a twin turbo with 42000 miles, stock apart from a catback and apexi filter. thanks darren

Asper the title says :rant: Well since having my auto changed to a manual the car seems to run better however 0-60 is still around the slow 8 - 9 second marks. I know previously the car had a code 34 problem, i have not checked to see if that is still there yet as i never have the time and im not that great with cars . . . yet that is. would the code 34 retard the car this much?? Also when/if i try to put away quickly the car tends to really hesitate for a second or so, again might this be the code 34 or possibly something else??? I know i need to change the plugs still :headvswal And to top my rant off ive just got back from the pictures at boldon …

g/f spotted a silver modded Z in enfield island village today about 3pm... anyones?

Just moved insurance companies and thought I would post up their details, if anyone is interested. Didnt seem to mind any modifications and I got a good price. The only thing they dont do is an agreed value, but might be worth giving them a try. Kirbz mentioned them to me, as they are very good on the GTR forum. Its A Plan 01635 874646 and Claire helped me out with my quote.
