got some cream leather sheet from Birmingham rag market yesterday, £7 per metre ( 54" wide ) , got 7 metres just in case I make a right cock up of it, they even threw in 2 cans of 3M heavy duty adhesive spray as a freebie !! - nice of 'em ...... I have seen those leather seat cover sets on Ebay ( some guy in Scotland ), I have spoken to him and he can do me a set to match the cream leather that i bought from Birmingham if i send him a sample, so i will have 2 tone dark blue / cream seats with a nice logo sewn in for good measure. Now, does anyone know of anyone who has had one of these sets and are they easy to fit ? Are they worth £450 ?? thanks …

Something i could do myself or best to get it done at zen/zed world?

(obviously over fuel is better than under!!)

Hi Guys I own a '93 UK spec 300ZX TT, manual. Can anyone tell me what the size and length of all the bolts are that hold all the suspension together & to the car? Sounds a massive task i know. I am about to start removing all the front then rear suspension off the car. Remove all the old suspension rubbers. Shot blast it at work, then either hammerite it or powder coat. Fit new energy suspension poly bushes all over, then bolt together with new Stainless steel bolts. As a lot of the bolts look quite rusty. Was planning on ordering replacements as stainless steel. Last forever. If anyone could tell me the list or where i can find the information …
