i bought a set of new ebc front discs and pads in march ,and after some good advice on here decided to do the job myself . BAD IDEA. In the last couple of weeks I notice vibration/shaking when I brake at high speeds. I know warping is common if the bolts are not tightened properly, so i'm guessing this is the case :( Funny thing is If I brake very hard it goes away, it's only when i first touch the pedal, but still very scary to brake at 100+ and feel the steering wheel wobble. All my wheels,tyres and tracking are in order so I can rule that out. Is it too late, are the discs fooked?? :(

On my Auto box tonite i only have 1st and 2nd ???? were have all the other gears gone???? :eek: Have taken my HKS alc off and its still the same,,,, They must have gone somewere so who ever has got them can i have them back please.

Sorry, posted this: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=58586 in the wrong forum. Gearstick's loose. Any advice much appreciated. Found a good article at http://www.ttzd.com/tech/bushingstech.html which seems to cover most of it, but was wondering where the best place was to get the bits from. Also, is it worth fitting a short-shifter for anything other than cosmetic reasons? Cheers, Bart

Hello all. Is there anyone in the Plymouth area who can fit a socket in an ECU (to fit a chip)? I've had some very high quotes to do this locally but don't really want to post off the ECU to get it done as I need the car. Thanks.

:confused: Got the two valves and hoses from Nissan. The two hoses are the same, parts man says the part numbers have been merged into one. Only thing is, it looks to me that the passanger side hose should be of equal diamater at either side as it does need connect to a small pipe as per the drivers side. Could any kind soul shed some light on this for me please.Cheers :confused:

Black Zed in Grange road Gillingham around 9:50 this morning

No disrespect to the guy I bought the zed from, but I went to get the driver's seat fitted and the bloke I spoke to (locally respected for preparing rally cars) said the exsisting passenger's seat was dangerously fitted. Basically, I have these Recaro style seats, but no mounting rail or anything, just the original rails. The passenger seat has been welded/attached to the Nissan original rails. What should I do to get them fitted safely? Do I need to get some kind of hardware from the seat manufacturer, or is it going to be better in the long run to refit re-trimmed standard seats? I like the bucket seats and harnesess though and hoped to keep them. I was told the wa…

I was driving the Z the other day when a small haze of smoke just trickled out of the vents in front of the windscreen on dash?? I pulled over flipped the bonnet and nothing :confused: it only happened for a few seconds, misted the front windscreen then dissapeared?? Does anybody know what this might of been?? Cheers. P.s no other vents just the front windscreen ones.

ok my car has gone bananas it started coughing and spluttering at the top end and on hard acceleration the other day after it had been raining, has gradually got worse and worse until this morning. It wouldnt pick up the revs then when it did the car was shuddering and popping and banging. When i revved hard it actually popped a couple of flames!! stalled a couple of times and reluctantly got going again.. dont dare try to drive it at the mo.. I think my maf has gone bang... is this right dyou think or is it just possessed?? cheers

Wanted to put a new scuttle on my ZED Thats the plastic bit that surrounds the wipers along the bottom of the windscreen. Nissan wanted £140 squid ...my god ..gulp I am now trying to rub down the piece and get a good finish as it. It had sort of black spots on it. Then Ill re-spray.. Anyone else had a go at this item.

never seen or heard from mine since the day she went just wondered if its still lurking around
