Has anyone swapped their front seats around to even out wear ? can the electric motors ect from the drivers seat be bolted to the passenger seat then be used as the drivers seat ?

I want to get the best possible accident repair job done i can regardless of cost, not claiming on my insurance. Can anyone reccomend the best garage for suspention and geometry work. Has anyone had this sort of work done well before? Many Thanks :mac1:

Need to get some front suspension and geometry alignment work done. Was going to take the car to Zed world, have heard good and bad reports. Can any one shed any light on whether they are a good garage to get suspension repair done. Cheers :confused:

if so how much did it cost? thank you please! :rofl:

Going to see a 300 TT on Thursday. When I spoke to the seller last night he said that it was in the grage at the moment becuae the Aircon drive belt had snapped. Could this be a sign of how well the car has been looked after? Does the 300Z have a separate belt for the Aircon or is it the same belt as the alternator power steering pump etc.... Should the fact that has been left so long it has failed concern me? Thanks

just looking at the large aperture below the number plate, is there supposed to be any mesh or grille there or is it supposed to be gaping?

My z’s dead…been given some advice after my z started to get a rough idle and miss firing wile driving, read the forum and decided to replace sparkplugs. Found on two of the old plugs a lot of oil on the tread of two cylinders. That’s bad?? Piston seals? Replaced the plugs fired up well then after 10min problem started again. Now she just instantly stalls if you don’t put some revs in so poor girl is sitting undriven. She was top notch a week ago :( Could be just electrical one of the coils looked a bit suspect, can of worms like most problems. Any mobile mechanic able to come over to Watford / Garston and give her a diagnostic? Lack_of_hair@hotmail…

sunday night around 7-8pm i see someone in a 2005 300zx jae t-shirt. you also had a red and white coat... think you was at the brighton meet aswell as i did see someone with a red and white coat i dont think we got introduced

I have read in various threads about using silcone sealant to stop the leaks. Dense question - is this the same stuff you use on the bath/ clear stuff from Halfords? The gel stuff? I also read about Seek and Seal - is this liquid that flows into tiny spaces? My targa doesn't leak as much as gush, so I thought I needed something a bit more gunky to fill the gaps. I can't quite work out where it's pissing in - mind you I did try to look at it in the rain.

Past you on St Osyth Road about 5PM today. Flashed you... Looks nice bud...

Dear Z men, I have recently aquired a 92 SWB TT manuel imported. Its far to hard and low for general use so I pull out the springs and shocks. The shocks look standard but the springs are Espelier (blue)?. Can any body tell me what the standard spring high should be. Any suggestions for a good alround set-up. JH

Hello everyone... I am looking at buying a 300zx TT jap import, very soon. Its a 91 manual. With aprox 60k on the clock. I have done some research and made a checklist of things to look at, but i was wandering if there are any major technical things to look for. Anyone????

Thanks to muffy and mickl I hope to have a replacement bonnet soon, this is going to have vents put in similar to james300 and I just wondered wether any of the guys here with vents in their bonnets have any problems with the engine getting wet when it rains, mainly concerned about the electrics getting soaked as I use the car daily, or am I better off trying to rig something up so that any water dripping down there is taken away via some pipework? any thoughts guys??

ive checked my car and i am pretty sure it is stuck in the safety boost the needle does not go further then 7 psi, i have no idea what i am supposed to do. :headvswal need some help and direction to sort it out!!!!!!!!!!! :headvswal

I'm having problems with boost on my car. Basically I have a Blitz DSBC boost controller which is set at Ratio:57 Gain:6 Limit:1.10. Now ive also had car checked for boost leaks. Problem is when i floor it im sometimes only getting 0.75-0.85 Bar, plus it fluctuates up and down mid boost, like the valves are opening and closing. Now when fitting the controller i disconnected the origional actuator plugs as per instructions. Does the car still use the origional actuators or would the fluctuating possibly be caused by duff solinoids on the boost controller? Or is it likely to still have boost leaks? Thanks in advance Marcus.

Hi all, My stock dash clock seems to be slowly losing the plot. It tells the correct time for a while, but then every now and again seems to just pick a time at random, until I set it to the correct time again. Apparently it was a bit dodgy when I got the car as the dealer told me it wasn't working at all, so he fitted a replacement (which also didn't work). In the end he plugged the original back in, only to find that it had started working. Now, as I say, it's playing up for me. So, the question is, are there any decent after-market alternatives available? One that showed AM and PM (or better yet uses 24 hour time) would be good. Thanks, Bart

Anyone knows if the brakes of a z could fit on a a4 2003 convertible? i couldnt find the specs anywhere

Yesterday evening on M25. Can't elaborate anymore. I didn't see you, the girlfriend did. I'm guessing it may have been a returnee from Brighton?

See a nice modded ZED down Brighton seafront last night, anyones here......

Hi guys, Just a quick question: I've just MOT'd my Zed (import) in preparation to sell, and it failed on just a headlight bulb, which I thought to be a bit of a result. Unfortunately the guy at the MOT station said I will need to replace the whole unit as the units are sealed up (bulbs not accessable??). Whats the easiest way to get this bulb replaced? surely im not looking at a £200 bill for a dead bulb? :headvswal thanks in advance

A silly question i know but does the manual have the footrest next to the clutch pedal?As after fitting my pedal box im uncomfortable with it. :confused:

At about 9.40pm yesterday travelling South. A dark grey J Spec with single exhaust.
