Hi, I'm having no luck with spurious parts and long delivery time frames from the local Nissan dealers in Ireland. I've got a '95 JDM spec Fairlady, that I need a upper suspension arm bushing on the front left side and front bushings on both front trailing arms. Has anybody any suggestions, where I can get these parts ? I need these to get the car tested. /M

what would be causing this. its like the diff has no oil? is the diff fecked or just needs an oil change. Just converted from auto to manual on the na lwb with a one piece prop. cant believe this is horrible to drive after all the attention and money lavashed on it this past 3 months. The joys of the older cars. its just horrible to drive as stated with a vibration/ whinning from the drive train. I would presume the prop is balanced correctly as it was never on a car .

Be interesting to see what that car actually sells for, but still looks to be a nice Euro spec: http://home.standvirtual.com/classicos-colecoparticular_visualizar_7749576_carros.html

My VIN plate is starting to look rather aged - I am looking around to see whether anyone has had a new one made up? Can Nissan supply these? In addition, I have come across this : http://www.vin-plate.co.uk/custom_vin_plates.html Anyone have any experiences with this type of thing?

Been up since 0600 fixing a few niggles pre MOT. Booked in at 1000. Fingers crossed.

Do these exist? Looked at ebay and a few Nissan sites and none are coming up. they come up in the usa diagrams as oem parts. Ive just got the car back from the bodyshop and he says to make sure to get rears to protect the bumper as its going to get a lot of crap flung at it. thanks guys

Hi all, I'm sure a long time a go I read a thread on a how to convert a TT pump to an NA. I may be going mad but I can't find a link or thread in the search menu. Does anyone else remember or know where to find it? Thanks Dan

Has anyone heard from CarMad recently ?

I might have the opportunity to obtain myself a 300zx over the next week, I understand you need a de-registration certificate from when it left japan only problem is i don't believe the guy selling has one, I've seen sites offering duplicate certificates for around £150 but then this also could be a scam, what else would I need ?

Z32 vg30dett On my zed I have an after market stainless exhaust with the oval back boxes. On the downpipes there is a tube welded on each, approx 1/2" in diameter, which has been capped off with a piece of hose and a spark plug jubileed in place. My question is what are they for and can I just cut them off and tig weld a plate over hole????? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi I have just managed to sort my brakes today but after close inspection I have a few dodgy pistons managed to free up working now. OK so not made of money and I am a firm believer that if the stock calipers working properly coupled with good discs pads should stop well going to get rebuild kit for all calipers but stuck on discs and pads Been looking at full set grooved discs with mintex m144 racing pads anyone tried these ? What you all got and how do you find there performance ? And any suggestions ? And don't say big brake kit unless your paying

Randomly stumbled across this and thought if you haven't seen it already it could be of interest...

To try and cure the problem of the coolant boiling over As some of you know I bought an alloy rad and a new thermostat and changed the hoses. While all the hoses were off I managed to flush the system through each one of the holes with the front pipes off to check the flow, and it all seemed good. managed to get rid of all the minging brown water too. Got the new rad fitted and bled up ok, but something still didn't seem right. After every test drive with my ear close to the rad cap I could here the coolant bubbling, It was no where near as violent as it was from the old rad, it was shaking the overflow bottle or leaking out onto the road. (the old rad cap…

For ages now, I've been wanting to 'upgrade' as it were to the wiper blades as seen on cars like the Lexus IS250 etc.... ...like this (this isn't mine by the way - not with that wiper arm fitment and tatty scuttle panel! haha I have NEVER liked the Bosch aero wiper blades - that great big knuckle screams 'universal' and isn't what I would call 'sleek and inkeeping'. Well, for those of you that are also as anal as me (probably not too many of you) and want something a little more 'OEM-esque', I came across these. They're called 'hybrid wipers'. http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/search/?keyword=hybrid They have the cover on them making them l…

I think there should be a section where you could name and shame suscribed members who take a piss and don't post you parts for weeks after they have been payed

Hello, As many of You know i crash my 300zx badly (my friend record this when he come to help me) : Two years of building, few seconds and all that hard work gone... At first I thought to sell Nissan.... but i just cant do it, its my dream, and its hard to sell dreams. As You see on movie car was totaled, but with massive help of Mark and Chris itrying to save it (they rebuilding my car, becouse i move out to a diffrent house = no place to do it :/ ) Rebuilding this car cost me alot of money, and i cant afford to buy a new wheels now (even only one i destroyed), and one is badly damaged - https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lJ0HgNw8239QEXDJNf…

Helping out Twin ZDesign with my thoughts on there new wide body kit in the making.i absolutly love the new rear spoiler. Will post some pics later when i get some more time.

This is most probably in the wrong place but I may as well ask around, seeing as my car's gearbox seems to be working well, and ive spent loads on the engine , I want to spend some money on tidying her up a bit as I seem to have spent loads on the mechanical side if things, I need a decent set of black leather front seats, no rips no wear, a good stereo set up including speakers as mine are crap. I would also like some metal intercooler pipes rather than the blue ripspeed ones I currently have, and anything else that anyone can think of to make her look smart, ive spent so much recently I intend to keep her. let me know what u guys have and prices and i'l…

Saw you about 10 cars infront, wanted to catch up but you over took a lorry and were gone. Plus I was in my van?who was it then? Bout 9am thus morning.

I know this sounds basic, but how do you actually turn it on as i see no AC button?

My Z is going into the paintshop for some remedial work next month. I am back pondering a moustache! I know PolioJ is an advocate of them. I'd be having it painted with a dark metallic grey, the indicators and fog lights will have a light tint film on them. I like the look of both, but the moustache almost gives the car more 'girth' by illusion! Unsure. I am still thinking that this look is a 50/50 split....

Hi guys are the 3 rubber o rings on the balance bar available from Nissan or can I get them from. B and q or maybe a plumbers centre does anyone know there sizes thanks .

just want to check with the tec bods what my camber should be set at, i use the car for normal road use, lowered 20mm using eibach springs with kyb shocks (non adjustable) with 19" wheels, 8.5 front 9.5 rear, just had it set up but can get it readjusted if needed, it's close to the stock settings on the machine with a little extra adjustment to allow for the wider wheels, but still within the specified range. front left -1º 24 front right -1º03 rear left -0º59 rear right -0º54 the car does feel a lot more positive on the road now than before, but don't want to wear the tyres excessively
