hello all i,ve replaced my rear spoiler recently and because of that the fairlady logo on the bottom left hand side is no more , anybody got any info on where to get a replacement cheers cully z :)

K, recently got some new exhaust pipes (de-cat) but just realised it doesnt have the little pipes up front, eek!!! What do i do now or am i doomed? I only got them to make sure clogged clats aren't giving me my problemo. http://ls.shapebyforce.com/sbf/175

been trying to sort out a problem with brake squeal on my '90 import N/A. I have taken pads out and replaced them having lubed with some copaslip but still have the problem. Ive just been searching old postings on this forum and have seen shims mentioned. I assume these are the thin vented plates behind the pads? Mine seem to be corroded with the paint or coating flaking off in places. Is it possible that this could be my problem? If so, where can I get replacements and how much? Cheers David

My car will not start (starter motor problem) and i need to get it out of the garage to jack it up, but can i just put it in N and push it out:confused: :confused:

A week ago my PTU packed in and I had to get a toe as the car wouldn’t even start. Took the PTU off and cleaned the connections with WD40 and some light sand paper and made all the contacts nice and shiny again and the car started first time. I would actually say that the car ran better, quite noticeably better. Even MAC says his car ran better after cleaning his MAS, after that stopped working. So I decided give my MAS a clean as cleaning my PTU not only made my car work, but made it run better. All I can say is WOW! The car feels so much different. 1st gear on a straight, the back was drifting out, and the revs felt a lot smoother and free. I even got th…

Hi all, I recently had very very bad vibrations coming from under the car during normal acceleration. After response from this forum and some looking around decided to have the CSB (centre shaft bearing) checked out.... its was fooked. So changed that but still vibrations, replaced Gearbox Mount and voila vibrations gone and feelign much better. All seems well until i really give it some as i pull away, i get quite a rough vibration similar to before but feels as if its coming from much further behind - maybe at the rear diff?? wondered if there is a nother bearing or mount at the back end of the propshaft or somthing that may also need replacing. I …

Hello all, Gonna get round to fitting new shocks and springs next week and just wondered how I know which are the front and which are the rear springs? They are the same height and the only difference is in the top of the spring, 2 are slightly smaller. Cheers Vijay

erm. any of u car industry types... my other car (the mundano) has one of these kenwood mask stereo (thing flips round). I bought the car in february. I've got the manuals for the stereo and even the wee 'passport'. However this appears to be bog all use... Since I disconnected the battery, it is saying 'transmit 1'. and that's the lot. I think I'm supposed to have a week key fob 'mask key' ? I have the remote control but no mask key. Is there a way of getting it to work again ? I fecking hated the peice of sh*t anyway to be honest, but would rather not have to buy a new one (and new CD changer, as I wouldn't buy kenwood again).. ideas on a pos…

anyone know a good source ? my local car parts places just have shity aluminium 'diamond' or circle crap. I want stainless square mesh (small holes (couple of mills) like you get on rovers, etc. demon tweaks do it, but the pictures in the catalogue don't show sizes so don't know if holes are small or big enough to put your fist though. stu

I've been offered this at a really good price. Guy says that it will improve the braking in my Zed simply by chucking it outta the window! Wadda you think? :D :D :D Sorry burf only yanking yer chain....

more of a rant than a request for advice, though any advice would be welcome. Ordered $500 kit from courtesy and was eagerly awaiting its arrival, as time wore on I was getting concerned by its non-arrival. I needn't have worried, it was safe in the hands of H.M. Customs and excise, and for the the paltry sum of £114.57p, they will let me have it. Robbing basta*ds. I take it this is standard robbery? or have I just been unlucky?

I will shortly have the following spec Z 1991 Jap Auto TT Mongoose SS Exhaust K&N Filters (Standard Airbox) Stiffer springs (Lord knows what they are) ECU rechip What would be the next mods to do? Dump valves? Cold Air Induction kit? Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if the heater matrix is the same on imports / uk cars..........The local nissan dealer was as much use as an oderless fart......cheers Dave

now I know that they're as common as muck round our way, and I know they have plenty of reliability and build quality issues, I even have 2 mates and a client that own them, but still I got immense satisfaction from blasting an AM DB7 this morning! We were side by side at dual carriageway lights and when they changed he went for it, will a touch of wheelspin and testosterone. So I leant a little harder on the loud pedal and caught second neatly with a little bit of tail jiggle - NICE! - and sqeezed past him just before 65mph (about 5 seconds later!). He stayed a respectful distance behind until I turned off about a mile further. Next I need to try it a…

Hello all! Just been trying to wire up me new stereo. I linked the corresponding connections from the car (non-Nissan connector) to old Jap stereo to the new Panasonic one via an ISO plug. But the stereo won't come on - nothing, then it got dark :rolleyes: so I gave up. for tonight. I followed the wiring diagram stuck on the back of the old head unit but this ended up being slightly different to what was actually connected to it. What I would like to know is how to test which wires prutruding from the car are which? Can I put a battery across the speaker wires etc? What voltage? How do I test which wires connect to the battery/power and ignition. Its not …

Well your thought my superchager thing was funny now part 2 I brought of the web a piggy back chip thingy Its called a IAT timing trick and as far as i can see its a resistor and is suppose to go on the lead that would plug in to the air box well its suppose to tell the pcm that its taking in 57 f temperature air and that may give up to 1.5 degree in increased timing Wow sounds fun Whats does it mean in english I brought it for a joke and cost be $3 (good quality product)

If you have met me you know i have a 18" sub in da boot which as black sussex 300zx mark know was not too loud Well i did what swm1 did and remove everything out my boot and made a new box It was not the most perfect box (a good tube of silicon sealent fix that) and i just fired it up And boy it louder and woow But its good for deep bass song but for normal music you cant here sh*t over the rattles The box is sealed (ish back to the silicon) Do you think it is mostly the plastic panel under the spoiler in the boot that makes the rattles? You can sod off if you think i getting that box out again!

Does anyone in my area (north kent, croydon, surrey) have a conzult who would be interested in renting it out for a day? I know it is only 250 to but but having spent $500 on courtesy, £650 on a pipe and £600 on my new front end and spoiler I am potless, also scots :)

I've just bought a zx300 tt.. so i'm new to this site.... I needed a radiator for my new car...so I tried a second hand place in Stockton on tees (Middlesborough) called JAP PARTS.. they quoted me £250, I then telephoned the nissan dealer and was quoted £271 for a brand new one....When I got the quote off the nissan dealer, I telephoned JAP PARTS back to explain how much nissan had quoted me, and I was told off the lad that owned the place..... "if people are daft enough to pay his prices he will continue selling them at these prices" So I thought I'd warn you's all of this company incase any of you's were thinking of buying something from there...... I've since gettin…
