I want to get some new 18's rims - and im finding it hard to find any that fit a 300zx - i like thse but dont know what they are called : Any ideas ?? Also - can anyone reccomend a good web based seller of rims ? Was going to use top gear but they havent contacted me back for about a week now - they obviously dont want 1200 quid then :mad: Cheers for any help guys

Lunchtime today? Looking good :cool:

was it you then? I would be the guy who was standing gorping at it :p Looked and sounded fantastic :D

I was always under the impression I could add a second car to my policy, but it seems not!! Now they want 488 for a 1.8 diesel estate (TPFT - nearly as much as insurance on my zed!!). ANyone know anyone who'll 'take into account' excess on another car (I've got 7 years) - I'm 24... rich

There seem to be a few places to turn to for servicing and repairs these days, but who woul you trust to tune your car. By that I mean extensive work to get reliable, big bhp. I know that MAC is using Nisstech for that car :D But are there any other companies who know how to get solid results? As my car is not selling, I may be forced down another route... ;)

ok, ive fitted an aftermarket head unit/CDplayer etc...in place of the standard factory fitted radio...Im struggling to connect the radio up to the cd player so i can listen to the radio!!!i noticed the aerial connector from the car has two pins and obviously wont fit the after market one pin connector?!help

On the Nurburgring on Sunday morning.... 1st time I touched the brakes (not hard either), enormous front end judder - shook the whole car. It seems to have gone now, which is wierd! I know theres a a bit of balancing needed to the front wheels, but.....! Any ideas , anyone? Thanks Ed

Back in Oct 02, I bought a clutch master cylinder from http://www.mjpauto.com It failed in August 03 so I bought a new one and sent the old one back for investigation. After much toy-waving, Mike managed to get me a full-refund which arrived in my post last week. Not bad for a 2-year old part! One more good reason for buying from a forum trader :bow:

Hi - quick question Can my zed still be driven a short distance with the whole exhasut system removed? Done it to a mini (sounded great!) but you know these zeds and their safety features etc hehe Cheers Pete

As above , very clean dark blue metallic Z, pulling out of a side turning. very nice car looked mint.

My Jap import '90 TT has a dash switch for what I assumed was spotlights but when I switched it on only the sidelights came on.At the front the 2 outer light clusters have had the bulbs removed and the wiring cut.The 2 inner clusters contain the indicators and sidelights.Can anyone shed any light.... :confused:

If i start my car up and rev it for a couple of seconds then switch it off, i can hear dripping coming from behind the engine on the drivers side - i think its dripping on to the manifold as its sizzling away - and nothing is hitting the floor. Also there is a small amount of steam given off that come out of the same place the dripping is heard and it absolutely stinks of some acidic shite After about 1 minute of the engine being off it stops. I know its not to clear but any ideas >? I cant see diddly down there ! I dont seem to be losing water, or fluids - but im obviously losing something! :cry: thanks for any help I had this problem when…

What does the little adjustment screw do on the ECU???? :confused: cheers mat

Just changed the slave cylinder on my 92 tt.Now occasionally after been in reverse the clutch lets out a whining nows untill i dip it again.Any ideas :) system was well bled and theres no access travell in pedal so im pretty sure theres no air in there could be wrong though. Hopefully :)

Dont upset your zed I removed the std spoiler yesterday (just pulled it off in anger) today i went out to remove the arial, rear wiper and lights i opened the tailgate and WHACK right on the chin it shot up very fast and i wasn't expecting it at all with the weight of the spoiler gone what a difference so take care if you do it yourself ZED 1 ME 0

Thinking of getting new set of wheels for the Z and wondered whats the largest width of tyre/wheel that will fit without wide rear arches. More traction egore !! I'm sure everyone will say just get wide arches, but my money doesnt stretch that far at mo. Cheers

since i fitted my apexi it seems to be a bit less nippy,doesnt seem to accelerate as fast. am i expecting too much or maybe getting used to the power so much that it seems slower. or is it something more technical like having to remap the ecu :confused:

Can anyone recomend a good and reliable mechanic with reasonable prices between Bedford and Milton Keynes? I'm looking for a 60k service and change of front brake pads. Worldwide Motors in Newport Pagnell was recommended in another thread, I will pay them a visit. Is there anyone else?

Just renewed insurance with houghtons again. after chatting to the chaps there about struggling to keep milage under 5k per year on their classic policy they came back to me with a quote on their every day classic. has the same cover as the classic but with no milage restriction. i dont remember it being available last year. cost me £150 extra using 5 years no claims bonus. great value i thought. taking Z to belgium at weekend :D :D nick

Hi all, Picked up my first 300zx at the weekend, enjoying every moment with it, i think its the beginning of a beautiful relationship :D but once i picked it up on Sat i realised the horn didnt work, then on sunday it started working all by itself every now and then, and first me and my mate found it amusing but then it turned annoying i popped the bonnet to see what i could do and my leg banged against the passenger side headlight and the horn started and wouldnt stop till i managed to locate the fuse and yank it out. A friend reckons it might be the alarm causing it but im not sure as im guessing the horns are near the passenger head light are they?? I…

i am looking to change my auto tt into a manual does anyone know how much it would cost to supply and fit and how long it would take and does it really make that much difference in power

The chap doing the 'gurgle' on the AIV's asks ... When you drill the hole in the downpipe to stop the water accumulating again, what size does it have to be? Any ideas? Chris

any ideas anyone hopes it's fairly low as when the boost controllers fitted hope she will feel allot faster.

I have looked everywhere for performance figures for my '90 NA manual import and cant find them on the net anywhere? Does anyone know what they are? The only thing I can say for sure is the top speed of 112mph! Jock sent me a list of mods: Truth is, it is not a 220bhp car. the car was advertised as 220 bhp at the crank, not the wheels, you will probably be running about 180 at the wheels. De-restriction, an induction kit and a nice pipe and a chip will make it feel 10 times better and sound about a hundred times better. You can tune it further than that but its a good start. Thanks Jock - Any idea what I would be looking at once this has been done…

Hi All, My Z is finally in the Garage! I'm fitting a Blitz Boost controller and the instructions supplied how to fit it for a single turbo so how do you fit it to a twin turbo car. i'll be suppling the info supllied to my mechanic so is there any diagrams or anything anywhere???
