The wheels are 10x18 all four with 255/35/18 tyres on them and ET 5. I'm sure the rear will fit perfectly but the front??? Do you think this will fit? Thank you

hi can someone help me with this problem, went and started my car this morning and was sitting in it because i always wait for it to warm up before i drive off .When i looked out the passenger side window there was white smoke going past with the wind , i got out of my car and looked at the exhausts and there was white smoke coming out of the left hand side exhaust alwell as a bit of steam and the smoke smelt funny the smoke was not blue so much and didnt really smell like burning oil. As i reved it a bit it blew the smoke a bit thicker. But the amount of smoke was decreasing as the car was warming up, so i took the car out for a spin to observe if the car smoked more und…

Just had track rod end ball joint fitted to the rear left side. Thought this was the problem because there was play in the wheel. but the vibration is still there. every time I take off with a bit of power The vibration is very distinct, can feel it coming up through the centre console lid when my arm is resting on it.

Just a quick question, im looking at buying a set of Mania Racing alloys but they werent originally bought for a z, the guy selling them said they should fit but might require spacers. He gave me the following information from the wheels: PCD IS 5x114 ET 40 Is it just as simple as buying a spacer to move the wheel further away from the caliper or is it more complex than that? Any help anyone can provide me will be most appreciated, Cheers

:confused: hi i have a 300zx tt manual which is standard at the moment. i was thinking of doing some engine modifications, but dont know where to start and what nto start with. something good but with reasonable price. also was wondering whether doing around 52 miles for £20(not booting it) unleaded is normal or not.

Hi - 1st time on the site - shame it's for the wrong reason! I've managed to do some serious damage to my car & am looking for a 300 accident repair specialist in Essex as I want someone who knows what they're doing to fix it. Skidded off the road trying to avoid another car & hit a raised manhole cover on the verge - has snapped the rear wishbones, maybe one of the front ones & I can't be sure yet if there is any frame or axle damage. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Lawrence

I've got the window rattle problem and i've checked the bolts in the door pillar and they're tight. I've even had the doorcards off and checked every screw and nut i could find but everything's tight. What else can it be.? There seems to be play in the top guide, if i grip the top of the glass and move it back and forth sideways i can feel the play then. Is there some kind of washer that goes with the top guide bolt?
