any idea where i can hold os a set of hand break shoes

Hi all, Well finally got my autobox and convertor replaced. Now she is only running on 5 cylinders and loads of smoke is coming out of the driver side pipe. The garage reckons that I have a cracked cylinder liner and the only way to sort it is to do a full engine rebuild for 2.5k :shock: or get a reconditioned engine for about £800 quid and they will fit it for 1k. They also changed the plugs, did compression tests on all cylinders, checked injectors, spark and fuel etc. all fine. They think that the suspect cylinder is sucking up oil and that the plug/spark is igniting the oil and that is why all the smoke is coming out. I thought that if the compression …

Not seen many - what are they worth. I've seen a really good one 1990, with 60,000 miles. Excellent condition, but, horrible colour both in and out. Just wondering what they are worth. Anyone know?

Guys Can we list here all possible brake upgrades available. I have finally worked out to do my engine and prop, N/A diff, N/A subframe etc its all gonna cost me about £2k....... ;) Now, why is it you can go so much done for that amount of money then soon as you want decent brakes, its an astronomical amount!!!!!!! :mac1: :rant: So, possibilities are: 1) Misti Evo caliper with custom bracket...Ebay possibly? 2) R33 GTR (is it the 33? or 32?) kit....is this straight bolt on? I'm thinking not. 3) Pro packages from the likes of Z1 performace £!!!!!!!.....loadsa money.... 4) ?? 5) ??

on a 2+2 from the cat back, are they the same? any differences between the jap and UK spec pipes?

hey all. not sure if i actually have a problem but i don't know much about the zed. i have a 1990 j spec n/a that can only reach about 130mph on the clock. not that i've tried. honest. this seems a bit slow for a 3.0. i don't think its been derestricted but it has had the conversion to mph. any ideas? :confused: alex.

Anyone know how much travel there should be in the slave cylinder push rod? I'm still having problems with gear selection and I've pressure bled the system to death, adjusted the pedal travel to the top and adjusted the free play to give the maximum travel as well. I get less than 2cm travel. If anyone's got their car up on stands, I'd hugely appreciate someone measuring this so I can help locate the source of my woes! Cheers.

Ive got hold of mattys old Z, so its fairly modded, runnning a jwt chip, derestricted exhaust, apexi filter.. few other tweaks and my profec b is in the post..... so wondering how much boost is safe to run on a z... my old s14 was able to run 17/18psi fairly safe, but guessing thats not a good idea on this...

my headlights are pretty dim when dipped, just wondering if this is why everyone talks about HID kits.. is a cheaper option to swap the bulbs out for the halfords style 30% brighter bulbs or are these just a waste of ££££????

Hi all, I want to buy my first 300ZX and wanted some advice. I used to have a 200sx Turbo some years ago, but with the 300zx its totally differnent. Firstly, whats the right price to pay? I'd like to pay around £5000 max, and theres plenty of examples out there, although there do appear to be Twin Turbo Z's with say 60k for £2000 in AutoTrader. What kind of things should I look for when buying a 300ZX? What do they suffer from? Also I wondered whether its advisable to buy pre modded 300ZX's?? I saw a nice one with tuning gear taking it to an apparent 390BHP for £5k, which I thought was brilliant, but can the stock lump take that upgrade? (turbos, injectors…

Hi all, I hope someone can give me some pointers. I've got a fresh import Fairlady Z Twin turbo, manual gearbox. It has a running problem, symptoms as follows: On the road it won't rev past 5,000rpm, but it will when not under load, eg. when stationary. It occasionally stalls. No warning lights come on and the ECU fault led flashes '55' when checked (I think that means no faults). This is a car I'm fixing for someone else and unfortunately I don't have access to another similar one to swap bits so I'd like to know what order to attempt fixes in. I've changed the fuel filter (underbonnet one) as that was my first thought and I had a new one on the shelf. …

Does anyone have any flow rate charts of the various side mount intercoolers available ??

Spotted a K reg TT in gunmetal with 99' spec rears and Zcentre spoiler yesterday. In Glasgow centre. Looked good!

does this actually light up or is it unlit like the passenger side?

my speedo is in kph it says 180kph max thats only slow for a zx is that its top speed?

Why is it you only ever see them when your not it yours? Saturday lunchtime a V nice black one on Formby bypass heading to Tesco's and then later in Southport, a silver one going down Rotten Row. The only way mine's ever going to be spotted is if there's a public footpath going past ZTech!

moring all, thinking of brightening up the dash and was considering a blue LED conversion. Anyone had this done? ANy other idea's for making the dash a little more welcoming?
