Spotted a nice looking silver z today around the rosehill area of oxford, about 12.30'ish. Wings West kitted i think, i was up a ladder fitting a window!

:headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal My car overheated today on the way back from Corby to Leics :( ... It didn't cut out or anything and I managed to crawl back home as it only happened 1/2 a mile away!! Does anyone fancy helping me sort this? I'm hoping its just a burst pipe or something - Whats the worst it could be? Cheers for any help in advance :smw:

hi all i changed my maf with a good working one yesterday, all seemed ok pulling strong no hesitation and only a little back fire when backing off the throttle drove home from work today and it seemed to be jumping all over the place (like a missfire) and getting loud cliking noise from down beside the accelorator pedal, but no hesitation when pulling away (which is good) also when engine cold if i touch the throttle while clutch is pressed in (or in neutrall) the revs drop a couple of hundred revs before slowly creeping back up (it also sounds very inductiony like its sucking more air than it should be) the missfire usually starts around 2000 rpm upto abou…

hi guys wondered if you could help with a vibration comming from my 300zx na.It comes in at around 60 and its a vibration that seems to come thru the seat ,theres no shake on the wheel,and it doesnt fell like rear wheels need balancing,thought it could be the prop bearing as the car has done 52000 so had that replaced by samurai in essex,but its still there, any ideas would be much appriciated.cheers Yani.

Anyone heard/got one of these ? Any good ? Any thoughts ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JWR-STAINLESS-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-NISSAN-300ZX_W0QQitemZ8005265004QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Cheerz Paul

Guys, I recently imported a 90-91 Jap swb TT automatic. The car is mechanically sound but the rear window seems to have some sort of acetate or acrylic film or finish to the interior which makes it extremely difficult to see through even when the heated rear window demister has been activated. Have I got some one-off model or is this standared? Any ideas how I can improve things please........ Cheers Tom

basically my 300zx tt manual import arrives on the 19th of november, and i want to get the parts now so im ready to build the beast when it gets here. what are the next performance mods i should consider? ive got the following already: kakimoto exhaust twin dumpvalves blitz boost adjuster and turbo gauge turbo timer the aim is to keep it off the road and tune it up to 450/500bhp what would i need to do this?

it was the other night, i was in the blue one. i flashed a few times but u never took me on.

have been looking at this on e-bay.... what do you guys and gals think? it looks good, but will it give any better performance! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8004722099&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT the auction has ended but the bloke says he has more.. went for quite a good price

Guys The missus needs some aftermarket discs and pads for her MR2. Any ideas where I can get some? :confused: Cheers Mark.

Just started to notice my windscreen lifts sort of up and out (at the bottom in the middle) :headvswal when I shut the car doors. If I push the lower part of the windscreen I can push it out far enough for my wipers to move???!!??! Only thing I done recently was removed the black plastic below the wipers for spraying and tidying up. When I went to refit these, a few of the poppers snapped (Im going to order some more from Nissan - probably at silly money!!). Surely the bottom of the windscreen is NOT held in by a few poppers that press the plastic trim onto the screen??? Is there something else thats wrong? *EDIT* Whilst Im on the subject is there an eas…

Yay, new car and a new challenge! I got my first squeaking noise coming from the engine bay. It only happens when the clutch is lifted (either through load or sitting idle), if its pushed to the floor no noise. Seems to get faster and louder through the rev range. I popped the bonnet and had a look to see if I could trace the noise and its coming from the upper left of the engine bay (if you standing infront of the car) Any ideas or am I doomed before I start! :confused: Thanks

Has anyone ever bought one? If so would you happen to have the Nissan part number because its apparently a genuine part. they appear on eBay every now and then but get snapped up straight away and go for silly money. When they first started to appear they were like buy-it-now for about £25, which makes me think they will be cheap from Nissan :dance: Thanks ;)

I had some new number plates made up at halfords today. Why why why did I bother, I KNEW they would be crap, but I still went there, and guess what, they were crap. The lettering looks like it was applied by a twelve year old. Come to think of it, it WAS. I paid £3 extra per plate for 'carbon' lettering and it looks crappier than kids lick'n'stick tatoos. AND they cost £30, but I'd asked the guy to do them he took several hours to set up the stencils and I didn't have the heart to say they look crap mate after he'd finished. Now I need to get proper ones done somewhere.

Seen these advertised on apex performance ad in banzai £43 will this work on twin turbo cars .I think this is a new product has anybody got one or seen one ive been told these are very good jap made bleed valves with no boost spikes thanks taff.

what age does the zed have to be and does it matter how old the driver is?? :bow:

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert/modify a LWB Powerflow exhaust to fit a SWB???? Don't mind if I have to take it to Powerflow in Leeds for the work just need to know if it's possible Cheers Phil

I'm looking for a Nintendo DS plus the Nintendogs game, where is the cheapest anyone has seen?

Have tried looking on the forum for a thread i read a long time ago about how to break out the amber dome in the front indicators so they look clear. Anyone know how to do it or is it best to buy the crystal ones ? cheers.

I was wondering if i need to get a rear fog light for my ZX to get through the MOT. I dont like the sound of one of those stick on ones and was thinking of getting the round lambo style rear LED lights - do these include rear fog lights in them?? Z Man

anyone know a rough price for these and wher to get them from

Hi all,just been out in the rain and went to turn off the ignition and it ran on for a couple of seconds and the ariel stayed up and with the key out of the ignition the boost gauge goes up and down and all the hicas abs battery lights etc come on dimly then go off then on.It sounds like a short but any ideas where to look. Thanks bubbles

I was bored so I made an Excel file to calculate the difference in tyre diameters and to tell you the difference between different wheel widths (Offsets) I don't actually own a Z at the moment so I don't know the default values for it, hopefully someone else will be able to post them http://www.sixteensixtyfour.co.uk/_Misc/Wheel%20and%20Tyre%20Calculator.xls
