Hi guys Just thought i,d say hello as i,ve only just joined this forum. I havn,t messed with cars for over 20 years now but recently a mate of mine has slowly and steadily got me back into them. His constant chatter about his Nissan Skyline and how it performs and what he wants me to do to it, i used to own an industrial glassfibre company and have repaired and customized a good few cars in my time and now he wants me to build a one off body kit, has got me more and more interested in all things petrol again. We bought a cheap Uk spec, manual 300zx twin turbo 2+2 with the intentions of either re-furbing or kitting it out, as an investment, but i,ve kinda fallen in l…

I rather dislike the headunit in my car it looks out if keeping, out of place and tbh is useless, I never turn it on. Is there a way I can either reinstall the original tape player and or attach some kind of hidden mp3 device? I could then mount three gauges in there without loosing the cubby hole. Bet you weren't expecting that.

Picked a Bose centre speaker up when I was in America a few years ago. Was planning on fitting it but think I'll be putting a turbo timer & boost controller in its place. Never seen one for sale in this country so not sure what it's worth, any ideas?

hi all as above my rear tail lights work on the right hand side but not on the left i have changed all bulbs but still nothing is there a fuse for them or something ? or any wiring i should check to see why they dont come on? cheers

Hiya. The bolt that slides along the runner that goes through the window is making my window rattle like mad when half way down, I have dissembled the door card and seatbelt harness but can only see one 10mm bolt which holds only the runner in place, is there anyway this bolt can be tightened some how? It's probably just wear due to age.

After deciding to keep her on the road, I thought I'd best get this out of the way. Only done about 40miles since the last MOT but it's been a year of axel stands, diff, subframe and suspension changes along with the full vinyl wrap.... :sweatdrop:

My pads and discs are in need of a change so it seems like the time to upgrade the brakes. I only drive the car a few thousand miles a year, don't do track days and so I can't quite reconcile spending £1500+ for a big brake kit despite them looking nice and no doubt a significant improvement. However, looking at buying used Brembo's off a 350Z pus new discs etc doesn't seem to come out much cheaper for second hand stuff. Suggestions please...

Hi, Does anyone on here know of this car? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-Nissan-300zx-Fairlady-Z-3-0-V6-Manual-Black-SWB-one-of-a-kind-/171348044962?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27e523aca2

After a new exhaust and don't know what to get at the moment. Budget is about £600 for a full system including downpipes. Would have went for the japspeed system but there out of stock for now. Any other places to buy apart from doing a custom job?

Right so basically just come back from a long road trip round europe and decided that my standard exhausts are too quiet, where can I get an aftermarket kit from? all the ones ive found are LWB, any ideas? thanks Tom

Having replaced my recircs with dump valves, and seeing a lot of mixed views on them, although personally i love them, my question is , can i just removed them and cap the whole creating a 'closed system' will this be safe and ok? as i dont have recircs anymore and cannot run them as i have custom intake piping with dual intakes.

Hey, I have a spare one. Aany thoughts how much does it worth?

This was a commercial that only aired ONE time before it was pulled because the higher-ups at Nissan thought it promoted "street racing". This commercial aired during the 1990 Super Bowl and was directed by Riddley Scott. Great commercial, great car! funny this

eBay linky for a TT Zed :) Not just me that thinks there's a couple of pipes missing under the bonnet, right...?

I am in the middle of trying to tidy up my Zed so as to look a bit decent at the Coventry show. (I fear it may be the worst one there if I don't do something!) I have been using Arctic white 326 from Halfords but it doesn't match, seems a bit creamy. Not bright white at all! Can someone help me identify the correct paint code please?

Has anyone on here actually done this themselves? Any tips/ photos? Thanks

Hey guys, got a bit of a funny question to ask as I brought a set of rear TT wheels from Japan a couple of years ago and it seems my JDM OEM center caps don't fit in the TT wheels. I have done some measuring and it appears the hole in the wheels for the center caps is only 44.7 mm wide. My oem center caps are 54 mm wide. Now I did some researching and found on a US parts website that they listed a smaller sized cap at 44.7 mm but it is now discontinued from Nissan as according to their information only the 90 model TT wheels had these smaller caps. I've tried asking the question on the US forums but no one seems to know anything about these smaller sized caps and I'm wond…

My genuine rear glow panel has given up :( The little metal box is buzzing but the panel has stopped illuminating.. Is it kaput? Thanks

Going to look at a Zed tomorrow evening but want to check the inner sills. What do I need to remove to get the rear interior panels off quickly so I can look down into the sill area? Step by step would be helpful but I'd appreciated any info.

New drilled and grooved disks for my new evo brembo brakes. Plus braided hoses and adaptors for calipers. Just got too fit them now. Probably start on it early tomoro. Hopefully I dont balls it up. :)

Hi all, need you advice again. fitting a aftermarket momo wheel and it seems there is no way for the horn to work. the boss has one wire on it running from the brass circular base and two indicators cancel markers. the car had a momo wheel fitted but had a horn push button sitting in the cowling so want it back to the centre of the wheel. once the wheel is off its just the steering rack and the white plastic for the switches, so cant figure out whats missing?? The blue cut wire it the horn live!

Ok, I have three worn t28r's sitting in my shed. Has anyone actually fitted t28's to their car ? I know the housing needs clocked on one, the actuator needs a bracket and you need 5 bolt downpipes. Other than that what do I need and where can I get it :) cheers
