anyone know how heavy the standard spec uk's are with tyres Rear will probably be heavier than front due to width. AndyZ has just been most helpful and told me to send with Royal Mail (Andy - just checked and its still 30KG mate :) ) Im hoping one rear and one front will be under 30kg. Cheers

I am going to fit a JWT air filter at the weekend. My question is after fitting would it be a good idea to reset the ECU?. Cheers.

I've got stoke engine I would like to increase my pressure up to 13.5 - 14 psi.

What's the best way? Thanks in advance for your advises. Stéphane.

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a 300ZX in the very near future. I wanted a manual one as am into driving hard and trackdays, but have been told by a few people that manuals eat gearboxes. Is this true? Having test driven an auto yesterday I'm sufficiently impressed with the speed but felt it was lacking in driver involvement, although this was somewhat made up for as the car had Tein suspension and as such blinding handling. My other question is to do with uprating the brakes, as I was not impressed with the feel or stopping power of the standard equipment. Any recomendations would be appreciated! Thanks for your help on these matters and I look forward to y…

Leon at Alunox is currently using my spare engine to design some manifolds on. What I need to know is how many different compressor inlet flange types are there. As far as I can see there's the stock type (stock, JWT500/530) and the 3 hole round Mitsi (td05). How about PE1420 etc? Anybody got more info? Cheers

When replacing front anti-roll bar bushes, is it best to drive the car up on ramps or jack the car up so the wheels are off the ground ? Thanks John

My wipers stopped this morning after a 'bang'. They stopped half way across, so I got out moved them back down and carried onto work, at lunch I pulled it all apart and took out the motor (which was running fine) but the arm had come off the motor. I pulled the arm off the ball joint so I could fix it back onto the motor and replace it then clip in the ball joint all good............ BUT! The hole in the end of the arm slipped right over the plastic/rubber thing that looked very worn down on the motor arm and it fell off. After some fiddling I managed to get it to stop on and work okay. Put all the trim back on and sorted and drove home in the rai…

Can anyboby point me in the direction of a handy live wire I can tap into in the boot area - I have a new antenna that needs power to work properly. Cheers Andy

Not sure if I am worthy of this site as I don't as yet hace a Zed. Things like the wife, baby, money keep getting in the way. With the combined brianpower of you all I'm sure I can come up with a convicing case to change my Focus for a Zed, bearing in mind that the missus thinks a great car gets you from A to B (not necessarily quickly or in style). PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi All, I've bought a ZX in japan and hopefully it should be here in a month or so, but I would like people's opinnion on what i should have done to it straight away. I'm planning to put on new tyres, a TOAD alarm and get it serviced, but should I change things like the PTU and timing belts etc.? A shortlist would be much appreciated. Cheers.
