HI all i have been busy today spraying removable part's of my Zed which as you can see from my ride's section used to be TH1 Dark Blue. I have sprayed the front bumper,both front wing's and the headlight panel and finished it off by puting the Zed badge on upside down :rofl: :( :D

Does any1 know what dump valves steer from the rear use? They sound wicked.

Help, I have replaced my rear lights but the indicators are clear, where can I get orange bulbs?

taking z to france next week french autoroutes :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: the GB sticker the rac kindly sent to me is the size of a football and theres no way that is going anywhere near my Z can i get away with a clingy one for the rear window or does it have to be fully visible - if so do they actually come off again or are they there for life?? just wondered what any of you had done when driving abroad?? darren

any IT experts on here ? having problems getting onto certain sites such as EBAY PAYPAL seems to be high security sites never had this problem before have my settings changed maybe ? sorry, dont know a lot about computers

Just a quickie, hopefully someone can answer. What are the sizes for the standard discs on the 300zxTT and what are the sizes for the standard discs on an r34 gtr? Possibly got some r34 brembos on the way, want to know if they are any bigger than the standard ones. I'm sure the performance will be much better. Dave :hyper: :hyper:

I am after a Chromey / Alloy handbrake. Where can I get one from and how easy to remove the old one??? Cheers

hiya, just bought pair of baileys dump valves and K&n induction kit and was wondering if any1 has fitted these themselves and whether or not they were easy enough to fit or u have hints or tips on fitting them or does any1 know a good garage in Glasgow/Lanarkshire area that would help? thanks

What are they for and how much would they be to replace on a Z including fitting, any ideas? Also if they are broken then is there anything else I should look out for that may break next or soon. Its all a mystery to me.

As above. Anyone know? :) Cheers, Leigh.

Was messing around trying to to get reverse lights and now I think the car thinks its in gear. How do I tell it its not? Help please

Got me new gauges today :hyper: oil pressure water temp turbo boost Just a few questions I want to keep my stock gauges also, so, where do I fit the temp sender and oil pressure sender ? :confused: I guess the boost gauge just T's of the stock boost pipe under the bonnet advise appreciated Cheers Paul

Hello, I've subscribe so I asked questions ^^ My rear wheel have a game from left to right. I've already change the bearing but the game is still here. I've call nissan this morning and they told me that to change the toothed rack of HICAS it will cost around 6000€ :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal So I wondered before why they were selling HICAS eliminator in the Us but I think that can solve my problem, no? Is there any body here driving with this? is it ok? Sorry for my English :bow: :bow:

Eventually got it fitted - without removing anything (I removed battery for ease) but even that didnt have to be removed. Its a bastad of a job like but if anyone ever does need to replace their tube then dont pay £500 for engine removal/refit to do it.

Hi everyone!! Is there any chance anyone would have a drivers side door for a SWB 1990 Zed as i have badly wrecked mine :mac1: Thought they were the same as the 2+2 but i was wrong and they seem to be very hard to source!! Would pay good money!! :bow: Cheers!!

Black Zed J Reg stopped on Pier Road Gillingham with Hazard lights on, Hope nothing was wrong

I knew I should have kept my gob shut. Eventually got car running spot on at the week end. A firm call Camco sorted my ECU problem well I think they did. This morning car running sweet and clocked up about 20 miles. Think, Ah well I'd better start and tidy her up inside . You know pop ECU back in bracket and bolt down and srick a couple of the pannel back. As soon as I moved the ECU I have no starter motor and no fooking car. Have tried every thing I can think of and it seem to be a relay behind fuse box in driver foot well . Anyone shed any light on this please.

i want to fit three gauges under my stereo?? which ones are best to have?? boost, water temp and oil pressure was what i was thinking plz advize if i'm goin the wrong way cheers in advance bandit... out... ps where can i get the housing for them to sit in??? :bow:

my auto aerial is stiff ;) makes moaning noise on the way in and out, and now wont go all the way in. Whats the best way to loob it???? cheers in advance Bandit...out... PS i know I'm gonna get a load of good advice here :rofl:

today the small fan fitted in the roof bar (at the front just behind the 2 spot lights) started rattling and squeeking and really annoying me. so i thought i'll turn the aircon off, but the fan kept going, basically the fan runs as soon as i turn the ignition on. is this right? i asume the small component stuck on the bottom of the fan unit is the temperature sensor for the headspace of the car for the automatic aircon but why have the fan blow at the temp sensor? maybe the temp sensor is nackerd and causing the fan to run constantly , but i would have thought all fans should stop irespective when you press the aircon off button???

Got a replacement for my 1990 TT as I suspect its sprung a leak. Only thing is the design of the raplcement is different - The metal pipe at the neck is shorter and so it doesnt want to locate onto the pump assembly. Does anyone know if Nissan have more than one part number depending on the year of the car, or is there a knack to pushing the pipe down the engine so its all at the right angle. Thanks for any help.

Anyone know a good auto electrician that will call at home and rewire my stereo / speakers. Took the head unit out to find that it is a real mishmash under the dash - I even found household eletrical wire for the speakers!!! I could probably do it myself but that way I have to spend a lot of time and have no comeback if it goes horribly wrong.

ok, since getting back from jae, can hear gurgling coming from both front wings. after a lookie through some old posts i gather this is a pcv problem. i also gather there has been alot of conversation on the removal of pcv's could someone please answer a few questions for me cos i read through all the posts my mind was swimming with different information!! (or was that swimming with beer? :duffer: ) when the pcvs gurgle what is actually wrong with them??? what do they actually do!!! what benefits are there from removing them??? what is involved (cost time and parts wise) with replacing/repairing them??? what is involved in removing…

Hi, I have a SWB now as well as a LWB, what have you guys done with regard to music, to be precise rear speakers? Thinking of building something for them right behind the seats, one each side, or maybe a sub in the middle on that stupid weak flat thing. Any ideas?
