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.

Hi Guys, I have a small hole in the bottom sill about 3/4 " dia, one each side, just behind the front wheel arch, now I planned to weld these up in Sept, but with one thing and another.... well you know the usual story. So my next plan in to have a look at them in the new year, but what can I do to them to prevent further water ingress, I have got some waxoyl to spray inside and then thought of putting some plate/sheet metal over it using pop rivs with gunge under to seal. Question is, is this ok or is there a more accepted way . Regards rich

Calling all owners of Meister R coilovers! Mine are being fitted on Thursday and I haven't gone for the extension cables for the rear units as I don't really want to be drilling holes in my Shortie's panels. So my question is: what damper setting have people found is the best for the rears? Ideally, I'm looking for the best compromise between comfort and performance. :) Cheers!

Hi, just starting getting the z ready for the new engine and noticed one of the tyres was flat. Turns out the leak is coming from the valve... Looked everywhere but can't seem to find any the same. Wheels are Advan Siena 2, the valves are a long bolt in valve which are bent at 45 degree.

Saw this white K plate on the M62 this morning looked stunning and i actually got a babies arm seeing it on the road as i dont see many and mine isnt ready. Is it anyones here? around 7:50am near the Rochdale Oldham junction. Shifty looking driver lol

i just found the thread on vacum hoses ive notiched that the egr valve was not in the modified picture has it been removed or does it still use the same hose routing.

Anyone ever seen or hurd of a 300 on air suspension. A slamed ride.

Just a quick question to put my mind a rest, what are the symptoms of a failed ' o ' ring on an injector? Mine still won.u start, changed to a series 2 ptu dried maf that was possibly damp. The car tries to start at first then nothing managed to get a cough and a splutter last night

Has anyone here have any experience with both the road and track use BC coilovers? I want to make sure I am purchasing the correct ones, I expect the racing ones will be harder, I need mine to be quite hard as the wheels run very close to the arches, standard shocks with 30mm springs were too soft and often caught. I am guessing I would be safer (in terms of catching) with the racing coilovers, or are they just too hard for road use? Thanks, Dan
