Looks like I may be off to Thailand at the end of the year...dirty job, but somebody's got to do it! Can anyone recommend a shipper for the Z, must be reliable?

Will the Eibach springs listed for the Jap import fit on a Uk car? Are there any differences between the sping housings on the Jap and Uk cars?

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on this. I recently fitted some new wheels 235 front and 265 rear. Since fitting these the car can be a bit scary at high speeds as the rear tends to skip about a fair bit. :shock: It never skipped around before fitting the new wheels and tyres so I dont think the bushes need replacing and I have checked the shocks and they look fine. The only thing I can think of is wheel alignment and/or tyre pressures? Does anyone know the correct pressures for 235 / 265 tyres (guessing around 33 / 36) Any suggestions guys? cheers as always Chris

Anyone know what the type of gas is used for the Air CON?....

Can you give Johnny @ grasshopper a call m8? He'd ask you himself but he can't get on the internet ;)

Hi all, I think I may have found an equivalent to PFR6B-11B which ceased production some years ago. Unfortunately I'm having difficulty getting the original specifications of PFR6B-11B so would appreciate some help if anyone has an old/new PFR6B-11B lying around. Even better would be if someone could send me a used plug. Why NGK stopped making this plug is a mystery. I need a measurement of the total thread length from the base of the metal shell (not the gasket) to the end of the shell (not the end of the thread). Also a measurement from the end of the shell to the outside of the ground electrode. The plug I'm thinking of is available in standard copper an…

Are there any direct rreplacements for the front speakers that don't require an redrilling of holes to mount them. Call me a lazy sod, but the hassles of replacing the rears with some 6x4 Kenwoods where the holes didn't line up just pissed me off too much

Can't stand the heat any longer, so need to regas the aircon system. Is there any easy way of checking that the compressor has not seized before I go to the trouble of getting it regassed?

Are there any Z owners near the Leeds area who know a bit about TT Zeds?

http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/ariamotorco/ Blue F reg zed, 3/4 of the way down the page, if this is your new zed, dont say you weret warned!!!!!!

Can anyone show me a pic or explain where this thing is, im suffering the eratic tickover problem that everyone else seems to be having, ive done the tb's, just wandering what other things need a blast of brake cleaner. Hard day on the car tommorow, got to do the oil, brakes, stop the zorst rattling etc etc. Many Thanks. :)

When I eventually get the Zed back with everything fitted, it will be running the following: Smithy stage1 tubs, underdrive pulley, JWT chip, Apexi filter, decent exhaust TBC, Profec B II. I was planning to have a max high boost setting of bewteen 15-16 psi. Not gone the 550cc route (yet!) so injectors are probably up at the top of their cycle. Will the standard plugs be OK with this or would some 'colder' plugs be better?

Help please I have a recent import 92 Jap spec TT Has the standard radio crippled frequencies, plus sony CD player. Can I fit a standard UK radio without major problems? What is all this about speakers with built in amplifiers?? thanks

Has anyone had same prob? Any advice please? The front o/s brake caliper was making a creaking noise, turned out to be a sticking piston so i took pads out and eased piston in and out a dozen times sprayed a bit of WD40 and it was fine for about three weeks. Happened again, same piston so i did the same and also replaced pads as the sticking piston was making the pad wear more at the top. It was fine for about 2/3 weeks again. Now its sticking again. Does anyone know what might cause it, could it be a ridge in the barrel? Would a piston seal kit cure it, and are they reliable enough and easy to fit? Do i need a new caliper and should i replace them both or just on…

Anyone got a spare PTU i can 'borrow', so i can swap over with mine and see if mines gone belly up. A few notes: - Idles for 3 Secs Then Stalls, Whatever the Temperature. - Heavy tapping on right hand bank. - Will rev up to full range (so i know its not in safety mode) - New Plugs and cleaned all Injector Connectors and Coil Pack Connectors. I merely want to illiminate the PTU as the cause, if anyone can lend me one i would appreciate big time. Thanks to Cos and Phsyco for the help. Superb

Unfortunatly my usual Garage is snowed under with work (C and S Wood). I want to get my Turbos replaced ASAP with the nice weather etc. Who else in the Bolton/Manchester area are recommended? If anyone can give an idea of their costs too that would be great! I know through a mate that Grasshopper are doing a Z's Turbos at the mo.. Cheers Rossy

Hi All, I have a 300zx Twin Turbo, but for the 3rd time now it's blown a hose :cry: Is this a common fault or is it that the car is old (1990)? Can somebody please advise..............problems and replacement hoses? Steve

G'Day, just bought a 300ZX TT 1990 (import) ... just got it registered last friday in time for the Modified Nationals show... on the way down the rear felt very unsteady.. a lot of sounds coming from the rear end...upon arriving at the show I checked the rear driver wheel... the car had dropped and was next to no room at all between the tyre and fat arch bodykit...bits of melted tyre all around the arch... As the weekend went on...I took everything out of the boot weight wise...seemed a little better.. then when I tried to go home...the rear was sooo shakey and yet again making a bit of noise.. so called out the AA to tow me the 200 miles home Not sure if this has any…
