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

Well.... it was pointed out to me only the other day that if i lift my handbrake one click up when driving,my rear suspension stiffens up,(this is a uk zed),the more i think about it i did know this but these days because i hardly drive it:(, i forgot:wacko:,anyone else forgot or just me?,and does it do anything else i forgot...lol.?

So I took my OEM airbox off tonight... I fancy fitting some noisy air filters if I can find some second hand (or even an adaption pipe as I have some filters in my loft) I took all the pipe work out from behind the front bumper which sits infront of the wheel arches The pipework runs a very odd path... i can get pics soon It seems that there is now a hole in the pipe from the Throttlebodies to where the AFM is... how will I block this? it seems very odd. NASP car btw

After a 300 mile run on Saturday in the Z, I was a couple of miles from home when i realised the car didnt feel right so stopped, this is what I found 4 of the studs had sheared, anyone else had this happen with spacers fitted?.

Hi all, Does anyone else have this combination? Or any of the above? I've had all the above installed about 3 years ago but not used it due to the build not being completed. Now ive installed the differential along with all the suspension yesterday to my new Z and took the car out for a drive! Wow what a difference the combination makes but with the performance I also get a loud whine like straight cut gears. I know the Quaife and leader gear set will make some noise but not as much as I'm getting! I've read the set up should get quieter once it's run in bit nothing states what to do or for how long? Has anyone else had the same problem…

Hi all just lokking for quotes for the seals to be done on both turbos as am getting a liil smoke after long journeys while idleing nown again

Anyone on here?

I've attched copies of printouts. Car is a 93 Import Twin Turbo. Has boost jets, zedworld chip, japspeed decats and kakimoto backboxes, apexi filter, arc side mount intercoolers and running colder plugs. Boost jets are supposed to be giving a bar, but on the graph it's making around 0.83 or so. Torque figure seems ok to me, but power seems low?

Just seen a na locked diff over on Driftworks for sale section think it's welded if anybody needs one £100 plus post .

Hi all, It's been 7 or 8 years since the demise of my beloved zed (cooling system self destructed but that's another story) and I'm finally looking to get back into ownership again. Looking for a TT manual that's been looked after. I just looked at a UK spec car which has had a manual dropped in and it ran really smoothly from cold and behaved well on a test drive. Problem is there is a 3-year gap in the paperwork so it looks like the last owner basically did nothing. There are a few questions I'd appreciate views on before deciding on this one… 1: It's done a lot of miles (138k) so should be on its 3rd cambelt. No evidence of 120k change so that would be …

You were driving up from edgeware road, I waved at you as I was walking the opposite way. I think I've seen you before, I'm the guy with the white zed under covers on kingsbury high road.

Hi everyone. Just like to say that I had quite a lot of work done on my zx this week by Jeff. Autobox fluid change, rockerbox oil leak, onepiece prop fitted. Turns out my leak was also camend seals. All the work done was photographed and emailed every night. Extra parts needed like plugs and pcv valves were supplied as very good second hand parts at a very good price. I had to travel 110 miles but would say the work carried out was worth every mile. Also gives you an excuse for a good drive home in a car that now runs spot on. I, like many others on this site would recommend Jeff, and a great bloke too. Lynda was good enough to pick us up from the train station as well.…

Well it has been a long time coming lol, 4 years in primer, the first 2 beige and last 2 in white. With driving the zed everyday, it was always difficult to pick a good time to get it done, but now ive bought a cheap runaround and going on holiday next week, so the time and chance has come :thumbup: I started yesterday with some wet and dry on the main bodywork, which is smooth anyway but after years of weathering the primer is very porous and attracts the dirt and grime so easily, so had to get rid of a layer. It will be re- primered with a couple of high build coats before painting, but the least the bodyshop has to do the better for me lol. The bumpers are an…

I have a stock auto engine. It's chipped, has had the filter and exhaust modded and i've a Profec B controller. I've always had the controller set to 14psi but would like to know the reasons for not setting it to 21psi. I know that with my auto tubs i can't hold 14 psi at the top of the revs so i expect if it can achieve 21psi it will be over an even shorter rev range. This is all to get the best 1/4 mile times with what i've got.

Been checking the timing just now with Paul and I have a question around how you check the timing. In short, what angle should you be looking down at the timing marks. So directly from the middle of the car? Or from the side where you'd have to look if the fan shroud is on which is from the side. Just thinking that the angle you look from would mean you set the timing differently that's all.

but i thought i show u what i been playing with Halo/Side/Indicator/HID's

With LakeZ and the Z32 25th anniversary meet coming up, I thought I should give the 300zx a good polish. It really needs a respray to be honest as it's stone chipped to buggery. Since I don't have the time for that at the moment a polish will have to do. Fished out all my detailing gear, and set about figuring out which stuff to use this time. Started off with Blizzard snow foam. This came with my Snow Lance, and I'm just using it up before starting on Bubbly Jubbly. It looks good on first application. But it has to be applied neat to get any decent foam, and it breaks down too quickly for my liking. The car had been given a full cla…

Hey everyone. Quick question, were all Z32s fitted with ABS as standard? or were some None ABS? Looks like mine has it fitted and I will be removing it. If there is no None ABS model, then Im guessing I can use a None ABS BMC from a R33/32/S13/14 etc. They look the same. Worse case senario I'll have to run one outlet port to the fronts and one to the back with a bias adjuster. I only need to do this as a stepping stone to a cool mod. Please don't call me an evil minion of doom for not wanting ABS :) It's a drift car remember and trust me it's more dangerous to have it lol. Cheers

As above really interested.

I have now installed two blitz bov's on my z. The problem is throttle a now not as smooth as it was with the recircs. For example if I plant my foot and build boost only to about 5psi and slowly release the throttle the car jerks. I assume this is because of the measured air isn't being matched by actual air, correct? Others with bov's must have experienced this? I am planning on having the car mapped soon on a rolling road, will this eradicate the problem? Thanks, Dan

As the title. Just managed to scrape an MOT due to a corroded front cross member amongst other things. Is it a big job to replace this with a new OEM one? Are they bolted in or welded into place? Hopefully the former. Any advice would be very welcome.
