On discovery turbo now!

RIP Mr.K - such sad news. You have been the inspiration to many and have changed lives forever. May you rest in car heaven! A number of my friends have met him have have echoed the comments about his friendly nature and awesome personality. I'm only sad that I didn't get chance to meet him - it had been planned! http://m.startribune.com/world/293146791.html

Well its time to let the cat out of the bag and let you guys know that Mandy sold Zebedee to me last week. I have to say after a week of driving "him" I can understand why she loves this car so much it drives so well and looks......well I don't need to tell you how it looks. So I have to say I feel honoured that Mandy decided to entrust this epic car to my safe keeping and I promised her that I will look after him in the same way she coveted the car under her ownership. So I'm already planning my show season and what's going to happen to my white car too. Previously I was going to sell it ( this may happen in the future) but for now I'm planning some more engine upgrade…

Been looking at sway bars there is not much difference in price between the stillen kit and the ST kit are they both just the same dif brand or is one better anyone have any personal experience with one or other or both.

Evening all, anyone got any suggestions on the sealant for rear lamps, need to fit my new 99 lights, ideally would liked to source the correct butyl strip tape, being able to remove in future is a priority so not using urethane adhesives or the like as they are permanent. Cheers.

Toying with the idea of fixing one or both of these to my Z! Anyone fitted sensors or fitted a reverse camera to their Z! Seems the sensors can be painted/sprayed to match the colour of your car. Any thoughts on this?

Well, Finally had a call from the Insurance today They've given us the full £6,000 it was insured for ! That was after two weeks of telling us they were having trouble valuing it ! They said There only two on Pistonheads and a few on on ebay but none with the low miles or a 98 model Version R they could base their valuation on. But as we'd got all the service history, all the records etc they agreed the full insurance value. so RESULT !

the guy says the motor is stock I think he means as in the internals if you listen to the vid when he is talking

A bargain if you can collect. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-LWB-Boot-Lid-Rear-Window-Spoiler-In-Red-/131432503569?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item1e99fcd911

I know I sometimes post these essays, I don't expect everyone to read them, but the SAR ones are very cathartic for me to write, often while still stinking of avtur, ears ringing trying to wind down. But these car ones I simply enjoy re-living the moment. I once read a mountain biking editorial, to paraphrase, it said, "Biking is all about the seconds. You spend weeks waiting for the weather, hours driving about from forest to field, days peddling, hours belting down hill. But perhaps once a ride, you set into a bend, your hairs stand up, you realise you have run out of talent and are relying on luck, you feel yourself slip outward on the loose gravel towards the edg…

I would just like to say a big thanks to Jimmer at Powered in Bristol for the fantastic job he did of repairing my sick 300zx TT its running brilliant now and if anyone is in need of a really good mechanic I recommend Jimmer any day of the week

A track day at brands hatch on Sunday finished my clutch off, so I'm in need of an uprated one. I know the opinions of XTD clutches are very strong for either side, are they worth going for? Stage 4 looks like it would handle some abuse, are they daily drive-able? Needs to handle at least 400hp comfortably The other contender is competition clutch, but is pretty big jump in price and would need a flywheel too. While the box is out, I'm very tempted to put a single piece prop in too. Any advice appreciated!

Hi can anyone tell me if a digital dash cluster can be fitted in place of a normal dash cluster and would it be a simple unplug and plug in or would it need other electronics fitted Thanks Richard

Got another potential zx lined up which looks really nice but has had the air con removed... as fast I can tell it's compressor, radiator and plumbing... everything remains inside the car. What am I looking at cost wise (Roughly) to get it back in? Any ideas?
