For some reason i have got a set of 6.5" wheels all round my jap import. It does make it quite fun to drive, but a bit dangerous some times. Have got 205's fitted at mo but need to replace very soon. Will larger width tyres fit on or do i have to stick with this size. (Can't afford to buy larger wheels - due to upgrading shocks and intercoolers)

What is required in this service and roughly how much does it cost?

wats the crack,hope everyones ok and not had ya engines blow up! im off on hols soon to tenerife and if anyone wants out bringing back i can do that no probs bargain radar detctors are about 60 -100 quid(ive had 1 myself for 3 yrs)if anyone wants me to bring them 1 back my detector cost me 80 quid and is 300 quid here jay

Just fitting the above, I have the +ve, earth, RPM & Throttle pos, but I just need the wire that goes from the Air Flow meter to the ECU so it can interrupt the signal Anyone got any ideas?? Looking at the pin outs it must be 26, 27 or possibly 37 Eric(Lymon) you must know, you're the Z electronics guru ;) Cheers Jay

Have you still got the Large rear wing????? And have you got a pic of it. Also those wheels you have on it are they for sale?

I changed my Track rod end yesterday however the car still makes a clunk under tight corners or when the weight is on the drivers side. How ever the feel of the ride is better so it did need doing. All I can think of the clunk is, is the suspention. As I said it clunks when going round a corners and when I straighten up it clunks back. I can feel it in the steering wheel and on the floor. So my question is this. Where is the best place for struts? What should I go for and what do they cost aproximatly? From what I heard the Nissan ones are about £100 each which is not too far off better after market ones. So any one ideas? Thanks Stuart

Has anyone been able to speak to Johnny or Latz?? There main number just rings and johnny's mobile is always off. Any suggestions? Cheers Vijay

You guy's haven't lived till you've had a pheasant EXPLODE hitting your head at 100mph+ on a bike!:eek: :eek: :eek: What a mess!:(

I hit a badger one morning and it took away most of the n/s front spoiler and wing. The badger however just got up and walked off, probably saying to himself "I must add this to the road kills section on the badger forum, no one will believe I killed a ....... ummm I think it was a Ferrari or a Lambo or something like that". B*stard cost me £150 (insurance excess).

A Duck,on the way home:(

Anyone have any info on the later (1996 import) ecu with the 32 bit eprom?? need to know if there is an upgrade available for this. Cheers Jeff TT

Hello guys, Is it worth getting an upgraded graphics card if I'm just using the pc for general home use and the internet. I don't use it to play games or anything, so is there any point?? Is windows XP much better than windows ME??? If so has anyone got a "spare" copy :) Thanks Vijay

I know that the Zed's air filter is nestled in the nose cone type bit, but which of the intakes on the front of the car actually guides air into the air box? Also, I know that the standard filter is a single one, but I was wondering if anyone has/ or has pics of a twin air filter set up? I saw a pic on a website, but I can't remember where it was. Thanks all

Hi, I have a set of standard turbos in my garage, and just wanted to know what can be done to them to make them go faster and protect them more? Mark

Hi, I know a few people have recovered their door panels in a sort of leather/ette material, and I wondered if anyone knew a source for the material from a series II car the black suedette stuff? All the Best, Mark

Sorry, I know it's the wrong forum but I'm not a regular poster, but do check in occasionally, as it's a Nissan BB:) and yes, I know this link points to the Fast Car BB, sorry about that. http://fastcar.easypress.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002704 Call me sceptical, but a 17yr old student, with a 550hp 300TT:rolleyes: Anyway, laters guys.

Anyone know how to get cheap insurance on a second Car (cant really afford to run my Zed everyday!!) Am i right in thinking that you cant carry your no claims? Dan. ps. I've got a Kia Pride 1.3Lx, but nobody can do worse than that for a 2nd Car!!!

The "Nissan" and "Twin Turbo" stickers are missing off the back of my car. I've spoken to Courtesy and they have got the sticker but its either black or grey. My car is black and (unless I'm wrong) the sticker was white originally. They told me that in USA the sticker was either one of these 2 colours, they had no white. Any ideas? The black cars do have a white sticker don't they, or am I imagining this? Thanks

I will be buying a 300zx very soon but I have a question, I have been told to stay away from manual zx's as they eat gearboxes on a regular basis, then I was told that the auto's do and the manuals don't. Which is the best one to go for. Any help on this would be gratefull as I have a choice of two car's one manual and one auto, they are both very clean so I don't want to miss out Thanks

A frog/toad ran out infront of us tonight! Shame! :D

woops, autumn is here, just got a bit sideways round a roundabout. Love the way the zed responds to an arse out situation, quick snap of the steering wheel and she's back in line, don't try and get out of ambulances way on a wet roundabout in 2nd gear :) love it
