Had a pheasant fly into the rear quarter glass, leave a bunch of feathers caught in the tailgate, and bump the aerial on its way past. So now it's slightly bent, and won't retract all the way down, as well as wobbles about loosely. Could have been worse, the other pheasant that was with it just skimmed across the front of the windscreen by a couple of inches. I think there was a spare in the box of bits I have. How difficult a job is it to replace?

That's right, in America of corse. A z32 with a stock longblock converted to a single turbo is running 9s and doing wheelies.

I'm ordering some parts I need ready for when I get home. Is there any boost pressure/vacuum going through the mentioned hose, I just want to make sure I get one tough enough?

Now then Chaps! Looking to completely re-bush the rear end of my Zed shortly. This will include the sub-frame, diff carrier, all rear arms as well as new bottom arm ball joints and possibly the HICAS bushes depending on their condition. The ES bush sets look the best value for money, my only concern is for the ride quality. I don't mind it firming up a bit, but I don't wish to completely trash the ride. I'm running OEM springs and shocks and will never uprate the spring or damper rate so that should help. Can anyone running a fully ES polybush rear end comment on the general quality of ride and handling please. Also is there any difference in firmness between th…

I decided to bite the bullet, stop worrying, and sort my engine out. This thread should be a good one, pictures, progress and panic I should imagine. Before the month is out, the car will drive out of my friends garage purring. Problem one, rough running. Solution PLENUM OFF! I did this in 10 short hours :biggrin: yesterday. I am going to check all 6 cylinders have good injectors and good spark. Plus air leaks. And sort another bloody oil leak at the back. So, the oil leak appears to be pcv related, dripping onto the turbo. More on that later. The injectors and wiring are dreadful! So with that and things like temperature sensors I…

I know that if you gave jap clocks the kph to mph are different.but dose this mean i have to convert my millage reading of 091838.as well to get the correct millage.cheers

Hi all, My exhaust is corroded and i need a new 1 however i have seen some back boxes i like but the pipe size from the back is 3"....am i right in saying standard turbos have 2.5" requirement? If wo how would i either get the backboxes smaller piping or increase turbo 1s? Sorry if question sounds silly Thanks Sav

If I want to get a length of rubber pipe to replace any perished or split sections, what size is it? I/D?

Just had injectors put in 555cc ones, now I've been told to keep off boost until they are mapped in. Anyway the car does have a stage 1 jwt ecu. I would only used Turbonoz to map the car but it maybe a bit of a struggle to get down. Anyone map in the north east Newcastle area?

So then guys who's heading down to pod this weekend? just spent the last two days getting my 300 ready, and finishing him off today :D gunna be taking laptop with datascan for anyone who may need it (including myself) ;)

Ok had this problem for a little while now it just appeared one day. and this video on YouTube is exactly the same as mine and the noise goes after the car has reached normal operating temperature. Even with an oil change and a good filter it seems to make no difference. The noise is always there and always the same length of time. In this YouTube link it says possible oil pump of feed blockage. Seeing as my oil pressure gauge is very erratic maybe this is the problem YouTube link Photos of oil pressure gauge I have replaced the sender with a new one as well morning Normal operating temperature So is…

These are on my dash! Anyone know WTF they do? I think the one on the R is oil temp! Guess! The two on the L are marked L & R & always go to 11 when excellerating then drop to 2! & flash! At night coming home the flashing is very annoying! Are they linked to the exhaust temp? It's more irritating cos they have always done this. Jap import 91 TT Auto

Hi guys I'm getting really bad torque steer in 1/2nd gear alot worse in 2nd (pulls hard to the right) 3rd 4th 5th pulls dead straight any ideas?

whats sort of compression psi would you get with a rebuilt engine done 350 miles just curious as to how much psi there should be before the rings are fully run in I did a compression test and getting around 120 to 130 psi spec is 150 to 175 ish if I put oil on bores its nearly 200 psi lol rich

Which of these is the correct one for a 91 Jap import??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=conzult+300zx&_from=R40%7CR40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.Xnissan+consult+300zx&_nkw=nissan+consult+300zx&_sacat=0 The first step in un-knackering my car :) Thankyou.

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to swap the series 2 steering wheel factory fitted with an airbag , for another more modern wheel still with an airbag form another vehicle , if so what steering wheels complete with airbag are a direct fit , Any ideas cheers Sayers

Quick question: how rare are the OEM spats? Especially how rare are the SWB ones? And what real difference is there between the two types...?

I'm considering a new fuel pump. What's best to get? For info the car is fairly heavily modified. Also is there any tests to see if the current one is OK?

I received a panel and it was damaged on the corner so i fixed it up the best i could and decided to colour it up, something i had been thinking of doing for a while now, because i could basically !!! The inserts are all chrome wrapped to mimic facelift reverse panel with fitted EL sheet to give that subtle light at night. [video=youtube_share;IbWxfVAOgV4]
