Anyone good with FG and fancy having a go at fabricating a double din centre console to take a 7" tablet? Don't ask, don't get...so figured I'd ask!

Hi Guys, MOT has gone through today, and failed only on 2 rear tyres, no advisories wohoo! What do people think about these winter tyres?... They seem pretty good value compared to my local tyre shop who was asking £220 for some avons... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251727100842?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Best regards, William.

I saw a breaker on ebay in a local scrappy so went to have a look for door top trims.......no luck there they were damaged and painted badly however the interior looks to have had an expensive retrim and no too long ago all the leather is in top condition.The back seats are trimmed to match with white embroidered z logos and look unmarked the door cards will need some attention. Its not for me but i thought it might interest someone The car has front accident damage but all engine components are there . Jwt popcharger installed. Ebay item number 181590122378 In a breakers yard in rochdale

I was certain that I would fit this to my car when I had it painted but a few weeks before I had a change of heart. I love the look from directly behind the car, but from some angles I find it looks too aftermarket and a bit too bulky. It kind of goes against the grain for my tastes. One if my biggest issues is that it always looks good in photos so whenever I look back to decide, I like it! Either way, it's an excuse to share some photos I took a few weeks back and with the upcoming group buy, the TwinZ gear is quite topical. Please note, this is not a for sale thread, should I decide to sell, it is already provisionally sold. [ATTACH=CONFIG]84066[/ATTACH] [AT…

Hi all, quick question, what size of blanks would i need for taking out the recirc valves?

Whats up My 300zxTT starts up pretty bad, turns over fine but misfires until properly warmed up, if i give any throttle, when i let off the revs will die down and then cut out. if i try to pull off it will usually stall, and the turbos wont kick in until properly warm. any suggestions on how to smooth this out or if its a symptom of some issue. I'm also looking for seal kits for my turbos as both are leaking and causing some pretty crazy smoke, its a jap import so im assuming it has the bigger jap turbos and i haven't had much luck searching for them, if anyone knows where i can find them. Thankyou.

Hi guys.. Long time since I was on the computer lol.. Just renewed my insurance for my 89"swb imported 300 slicktop.... Missed the renewal through an expired credit card thank goodness. Last years insurance company who we see advertising a specialist product for our cars quoted me £530.... Ten minutes of my time got the same product with agreed valuation for £150....!!!!! Got me right in a flux it did.....!! Pays to shop around I would think... Happy Xmas to all......

What do you think is better looking? 89 spec or 99 spec. Well at least the 89 spec with the 99 spec inserts. It's a black car

Well I took her out yesterday for a spin and she was running a bit strangely....... didn't feel like she had any power when she had warmed up to running temp..... I bound a nice straight bit of quiet road and floored her....... felt like an NA with no kick from the turbo's at all..... I then noticed no heat from the vents.... well slightly warm but not hot like she usually is....... Temp gauge was at middle on stock gauge...... So carefully drove her home..... I left it till this morning and checked the radiator....... not much water in there and the same brown sludgy muck popped out when I filled her up as earlier in the year...... It looks like oil and water m…

Does anyone know how much I should expect to get for a Mines ECU that was fitted to my Z, I plan to get my car booked in with Noz in the new year for a rolling road session and so need to replace with a stock ecu., and wondering if its going to be worth selling? Thanks, Dan

Does anyone know if there is a distributor for their products in the UK, I have seen a thread started in 2010 by the manufacturer looking for one but the thread was inconclusive. If not, does anyone know who is the most competitively priced in the US? Thanks, Dan

Anyone had any dealing with Twinchip in Switzerland?

I was on the GTR owners club looking for Brembo brakes that might constitute an upgrade when I came across a set of R35 Brembos F+R for sale. The seller advises that they were fitted to an R33GTR with an adaptor kit. So I was wondering if that same kit would make them a straight fit to my Z32 ? Assuming that they would be presents me with the problem of wheel size....I'm guessing I would need 20's (maybe a set of an R35) ? This is all just in the planning stage at the moment but all and any thoughts would be welcome. I don't think I've ever seen a Z32 wearing 20's but has anyone seen one? Cheers Mark

As my search for a pair of OEM rear spats for a Shortie came up dry, I decided to do some hunting on the Net. I came across a US firm called Ionic Dynamics who, believe it or not, make replicas of the very spats I was looking for! :D See here. Emails were sent, prices were agreed and an order was placed. It got stuck in Customs for a few days and I had to pay an extra £18 to get them delivered. They arrived this afternoon! :D Sooo... you can only imagine my disappointment and horror when I compared them to the OEM set off a LWB I have here and found that they're identical! :( Yep, they seem to have modelled them off the 2+2 rears, not the Shortie …

Maybe a boring thread but thought, why not. Bought some new aero wipers which if memory serves, his funkiness recommended. I really like them and of course it took about 2 minutes to fit so thought I'd share some before and afters... BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER OLD NEW

I fit my switchback bulbs about 18 months but having in the most reason MOT the examiner tell me it's discolored i thought i'd better give it some attention. What he meant was with sidelights on and you indicated it flashed amber/white/amber/white so gave the impression the colour was wrong as it alternated fast. Now it flashes amber/off/amber/off just like side repeater and mirrors in my case and then when signalling is finished it returns to white or sidelights. I did buy some new bulbs but they're no better than the first ones i bought and worked the same, i have actually fit an in-line delay relay module to make it work as you see. Whilst i was hap…

Hi guys just found this pic on google, Is it a fake, i really think that front bumper could look good without all the crazy bits the shape really fits the front of a zed looks original and aggressive, Does anybody else like it... I dont like the bits on the zed just the shape of the bumper...

Likely doing a large order end of next week or sooner ! Anyone need anything ?

When changing my cambelt, pulleys and water pump on my 125000 mile UK car is it recommended to change the tensioner aswell? If so, where can I get one from? Thanks, Dan

Hi Guys, just looking for your opinion on these cheapy eBay wheels! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-GUN-METAL-ST16-STYLE-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-NISSAN-GTS-91-98-/271580300476?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item3f3b7284bc I would be fitting proper bolt on Eibach 15mm spacers all round - I already have these and are new/never used otherwise I might have used 20/25mm spacers. The effective offset and sizes would then be.... 8.5" ET25 front with 235/40's 9.5" ET27 rear with 265/35's Unsure if gun metal grey 6 spoke will look good on my gun metal SWB? Any thoughts or pics of example appreciated. Thanks.
