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 …

looks like my front water feed pipes to my washers have split somewhere under the car, is there a pump under there or just tubing/pipes? gonna look at it this week and replace then fill with washer fluid etc... needless to say im pleased that its nothing serious and also not the bottle..

Does anyone have a guide for replacing the handbrake shoes or a picture of the shoes on the hub? I had to take mine off to change some wheel studs and am not 100% on how they go back together (particularly the plate type thing which goes at the top of the assembly. Cheers, Gareth

Something i could do myself or best to get it done at zen/zed world? Any ideas on cost? the belt was done at 60 and the car runs pretty well, just looking after her really... the zeds chipped and seems to overfuel alittle at idle, noticable as the winters got on by more condensation out of the exhausts at idle... anything to worry about? (obviously over fuel is better than under!!)

been looking at ground wires and 'charging stabilizers' on ebay, and heard theyre worth having, no idea what they do? can anyone help me? cheers

Is it just SWB's that have the 'fold-out' spare?-as my TT spare is a blown up s/saver! :confused: ;)

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 …

I think it was the M4 anyway! Would have either been M4 inside the M25 or the M3 outside the M25... Either way you were heading East! I could only see your roof from a distance, all I could ID was that you don't have a high level spoiler! :) Mark

You were heading towards Ealing. Only saw you when you were level, and you didn't seem to see me. I only noticed that you were spoiler-less and had a custom zorst- 2 single round pipes.
