Well, was it you? Was it?

As above Sunday evening in Bigg Market

Yeah, I know it's on a SWB, but wanted to know if something like this was still available...seen larger versions of it. But just wondering if there's somewhere where you can get this exact version. Gathering it would fit on a LWB tailgate.

Hi all; I have a major problem: I recently had my auto box sorted by VMTP but since the 1 month service the 10A ASCD fuse in the drivers footweel keeps blowing. When this occurs I only have emergency mode gears 1, 2 and D (as 3rd gear) and have to go through the sequence to change gear. I took out the ASCD cancel relay (under the bonnet just down from the battery) and it then seemed to work fine for a few months. Unfortunately the same fuse keeps blowing with, or without, the relay replaced. It is driving (in emergency mode) me nuts. I cannot find any logical solution, there must be a bad connection/short somewhere ... does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Has anyone replaced all their tweed (including seats) with good quality/looking vinyl (or anything else) ? How hard was it ? How much ? Do it or don't ? Cheers Paul.

Hello, I wanted to install inox test pipe but there is no place to put that strange hose that is fit on stock test pipe. I think that hose come from AIV. What's happen if I disconnect them? Thank you

I don't know much about this, is it that the 2+2's are the LWB and the normal 2 seater is the SWB or did the 2 seater have the same wheel base as the 2+2 but have an SWB version made as well? Cheers :bow:

the nut on the pipe that goes from the manifold to the egr valve nicely hidden round back of engine as come loose(egr end of pipe, round back of engine, no access etc) obviously its blowing running crap and emitting carbon monoxide into car! ive had it done up from underneath twice but keeps coming loose, mainly cause you cant torque it up properly because of access. anyone had same prob, whats least labour intensive way to get access to it to do the job properly and would it be a good idea to weld the little ******* on lol?

Hi all.well i finally got round to fitting an oil cooler to my auto box . hope this saves it from going boom !

'Paulstevo' has jumped on my group buy - nooooo! He's ordered one before then ignored the couple of emails /PMs I sent. Also he bought some bits off my breaker and was the rudest, most impatient bloke I've dealt with on the forum. Funnily - he calmed down totally when I told him he was being hysterical :D That was after I bust the rear brake light he was buying and told him I'd have to refund him. Anyone else dealt with Paul? Cheers Pete

Hi All, some time ago I posted a thread on here asking for advice on a funny noise I had on my Z. Allways hard to give help on a noise on a forum without hearing it. But I suspected bottom end. Anyway, no one had any real idea, so I stripped the bottom end, in the car. I had some very poor advice, not from here, about how hard this was and how long it would take. Basically I was told it was a pig of a job and would take many hours. My son and I had the sump off and the bearings inspected in about 2 hours. It was so easy. Upon inspection there was no sign of problems, until I looked at the thrust bearings of the main bearing shells. One side was worn to th…

Silver Zed Reg. J710 KHX Engine: NA Import Aftermarket Alloys seem to be abt 6 spoke. Parked at Clipstone Street saw at 16:05 was still there when i left at abt 5:30 so must live or work round that area.

I'm going through my options for my first mods to my Zed. It's just had an uprated auto box fitted. Picking it up tomorrow!!! :D I've nearly finished pricing up a body kit, about 2k. However, I'm also looking at upgrading the suspension.... My wishlist so far is Adjustable shocks Rose jointed front arms Upper front adjustable arms Lower front adjustable arms Front and rear lower anti-sway bars Front and rear strut brace Skyline brake upgrade Poly Bushes Anything else needed?? Done lots of reading up on the subject but still unsure on which shocks to fit. I really fancy some in car adjustable ones as I dont want a spine jolting ride al…

From underhanded PMs ebay links and people joining in with combined order shipments from the US. As our traders provide the clubs bank account with around 2k per year what can we do to help them?

As some of you know, I'm on tour in October for 6 months. I need to know my pride and joy is safe and away from the weather. Can anyone recommend a car storage facility?? ie under cover, no moisture etc. Or will diconection the battery and a good quality car cover be alright?? Cheers Andrew :D

Hi all, can anyone help? Got a bad petrol smell at the minute. Its coming from the small hole (breather) where you fill up with petrol, thing is the juice looks like its leaking / squirting out of that hole, does this mean to much back pressure in the petrol tank or is it caused by a petrol return pipe??? Any help much appreciated.

may have asked before but cant remember I have a push button switch in my steering wheel which is hidden under the grips very smart only problem being it only has little wires coming out the back theres no way of getting to the switch so I presume if I wired the starter wires to it they would porbably melt is there any way around this ie little wires into relay then relay into big starter wires? thanks chris :D

Good morning all, I wonder if anyone could help me out with some details of good reliable garages in my area, I live in hertfordshire. Its cambelt service time and would prefer to take my pride and joy somewhere that is reccommended by someone who knows what they are talking about, eg All you wonderful people. Any assistance would be most gratefully received. Cheers Dave.

i start the car every day no problems, i go maybe a mile or two and it will splutter and lose power, i pull over and start it a couple times and its still the same, then suddenly it will fire up and off it will go no problems and run all day, ive changed the ptu, and still the same, so would be great if anyone could point me where to look?? thanks

Just noticed in the last few days that the parking brake light on the dash hasn't been going out when I release the hand brake. Some times it stays on all the way to work, other times only half way. Excuse my ignorance but is the light just a hand brake warning light or is it also a low fluid or pad wear indicator? :confused:

Hi Guys, I hope you are all well. I have a bit of a problem. 2000 miles ago the clutch went on Cerina's 300zx NA SWB. apparently it was pretty messed up. The Slave and Master had to be replaces as well as the clutch and the pivot ball. Recently Cerina has been driving her car in to work (Kengsington). She has to call the RAC as the clutch started slipping i all gear. The clutch possibly got too hot but I've never seen or heard of this before. We got the car transported back to te garage where the clutch was fitted as we know they said that it had a years warrently. The garage are now saying that they have pulled the box and checked the cclutch …

Hi all, Anyone got any ideas:- I met someone down the road from my parents over the weekend with a nice silver TT. He has had a problem with rev/speed limiting coming on. It started some time ago at about 130mph and has gradually dropped down and is now coming on well under 100. He has had it de-restricted and thinks it might be something to do with this. Cheers Dave ps told him to get on the forum, so maybe we'll here from him.
