:punk::punk::thumbup1: so I pulled out the wheels and gave them a shot of Meguirs Hot Wheels cleaner and a good jet wash. They're still going to need a refurb but they don't look too bad in the sunshine? I've tried a few places regarding the refurb and all I've gotten so far is one place will polish the rims but not the centre spokes? I'm looking at roughly £800 from a guy in the U.K.

Hi guys, So just taken the zed on a 200m motorway trip to brum. All fine last night but this morning it was ticking from the head on idle quite loudly!.. when raising the revs for a few seconds it died down, but then came back again when idling. Stayed like this for 5-10 mins before quietening down... sat waiting for the air pump at moment and it seems normal again. Oil was replaced at xmas, have done around 4k. Should I start diggin deeper?.. Thanks, W

Saw an immaculate 260z on the motorway, would nearly change my mind as to which Z I want! Found it online easily enough, beautiful car. Driver was nice enough to make me jealous from every angle :)

My car has an intermittent engine problem. I am not going to say what I think it is as I want an un influenced set of suggestions. There is nothing obviously wrong, it runs absolutely brilliantly, strong as an ox. Smooth brilliant... then with no pattern or trigger that I can find it runs really badly. It has done it most at 60/70 in fifth at a neutral throttle, it suddenly has a subtle "open closed open" throttle sort of faulter. In a lower gear it is a non rhythymic but obvious drop of power as if its running out of fuel. It can also come with backfiring, if I slow to a stop when it is faultering it backfires on overrun then in neutral the revs bounce f…

Well just making sure ive got some sort of spare wheel in boot for next weekend little outing. now i very neary binned in.the spare wheel in my boot was flat and tiny. Yes i new that it would blow up a little whith some air in it. But what happend next took me by suprise.see in pic one i got wheel out and measured it as i stated to blow it up.it went from a tiny 15" and sat in the boot resease with space around it.to bloodyhell fire over 24".thats clever stuff.and was so large i coulnt place it in the space once up.got to say though ive never seen or hurd of that before. I thought thats clever.

Was watching a crappy film called Barb Wire the other night ,only because Pammy gets her rack out ,and bugger me there's a 300 parked up in the back ground ,so the other half said "she's running down the road with her tits half hanging out and you notice that in the back ground"

I believe a lot of components can be used from the auto but not vice versa ie ECU etc.... But what would actuallybe required and roughly what is the cost of this? Is there a write up somewhere guys so I can look into it.

I'd like to hear from anyone who's uprated or welded their diffs. Before anyone goes off on one this is for my na, which is just a bit of fun, and I'm going to be drifting alot more with it, Its become apparent my oe diff is worn out, it's acting too much like an open diff, so needs to go, it's the biggest thing holding me and it back (apart from coilovers but it's getting the slicktops meister when I change them) so looking for opinions from people, seen a nice 2 way on z1's site, but wonder if it's worth the money or should I weld it...?

My boot trim panels are in need of a refurb, has anyone else done this before? How is it best done? I tried a heat gun on them which has worked a little but some scratches are still visible. Thanks, Dan

My Z has never had any rear speakers since I have owned it, I went to install some the other day and found that I have two cut wires and 3 wires that go into a connector. I found an old thread that shows how to bypass the amp which I have done and got my new speakers working, however the method of bypassing the amp by sticking wire in and out of certain connections doesn't seem all that reliable to me, is there a better way? Also, what is the purpose of the connector with the three wires going to it (red, brown & yellow). Many thanks, Dan

Hey guys. I know I ask for a lot of help aha but I just swapped a injector connecter to a new one and it wouldn't start. I also cleaned some other connectors such as the one on the timing belt cover... I secured it all then tried it and it was turning over but never fired. I jiggled the connecter around and eventually it fired on 5 cylinders. The one that wasn't was the one at the back on the right. Managed to get it on 6 after a while but sometimes drops to 5 for 3 seconds then goes to 6. At idle before this it misfires, roughish idle. But drives fine in the higher rpm. I know I ask a lot aha

Hi all not been on here for ages :) Finally got round to trying to identify a rough running problem. I did an ohms test on the injectors and no.6 had a reading of 55.5!!! I'm guessing that means it's completely shot and needs no other test to confirm it? Does anyone know where I can get a decent (second hand?) one for a 1990TT Cheers Nick

Does anyone know where to get these? or have them fitted with a pic? Saw one last week and it looked really well especially the front one on a 99 spec bumper.
